[erlang-questions] Heavy duty erlang HTTP/REST client

[Fred Hebert]

For cases where you have lots of requests to restriced number of
endpoints, I've written pooling on top of lhttpc, which shows up in this
fork: https://github.com/ferd/lhttpc

It's been used in production for years and will do very basic GET/POST
kinds of requests, but with efficiency.

If that one begins to be a point of contention (too many reqs per
endpoint), https://github.com/ferd/dlhttpc is its successor -- same API,
but stronger pooling mechanism.

Regards,
Fred.
