+---+ SWI-Prolog HTTP support library
+
+This directory provides  the  SWI-Prolog   libraries  for  accessing and
+providing HTTP services.  The client libraries come in two forms:
+
+    * The lightweight http_open.pl opens an HTTP location as a stream
+    * The more full-blown http_client.pl performs arbitrary HTTP
+    requests and, depending on loaded plugins, transforms the data
+    in a Prolog-friendly format.
+
+The primary server-library  is   thread_httpd.pl,  providing  full-blown
+scalable embedded HTTP server.
