the class dev by Alessandro has also another advantage, that it
integrates qgis auth management as described in:
http://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/authentication.html#adapt-plugins-to-use-authentication-infrastructure

we are working on this class to offer the same async bhavior of
QgsNetworkAccessManager instead of the only blocking behavior of the
httplib... and obviously adding tests for this class

cheers
