/**
 * A "very very simple to use" class for performing http get and post requests. 
 * So many ways to do that, and potential subtle issues. 
 * If complexity should be added to handle even more issues, complexity should be put here and only here. 
 * 
 * Typical usage: 
 * <pre>HttpConnection connection = new HttpConnection();
 * connection.doGet("http://www.google.com");
 * InputStream stream = connection.getStream();
 * if (stream != null) {
 *    //use this stream, for buffer reading, or XML SAX parsing, or whatever... 
 * }
 * connection.close();</pre>
