    An agent makes HTTP requests.

    The way in which requests are issued is left up to each implementation.
    Some may issue them directly to the server indicated by the net location
    portion of the request URL.  Others may use a proxy specified by system
    configuration.

    Processing of responses is also left very widely specified.  An
    implementation may perform no special handling of responses, or it may
    implement redirect following or content negotiation, it may implement a
    cookie store or automatically respond to authentication challenges.  It may
    implement many other unforeseen behaviors as well.

    It is also intended that L{IAgent} implementations be composable.  An
    implementation which provides cookie handling features should re-use an
    implementation that provides connection pooling and this combination could
    be used by an implementation which adds content negotiation functionality.
    Some implementations will be completely self-contained, such as those which
    actually perform the network operations to send and receive requests, but
    most or all other implementations should implement a small number of new
    features (perhaps one new feature) and delegate the rest of the
    request/response machinery to another implementation.

    This allows for great flexibility in the behavior an L{IAgent} will
    provide.  For example, an L{IAgent} with web browser-like behavior could be
    obtained by combining a number of (hypothetical) implementations::
