Read the source!!! I expanded on the comments in the source code after using
this.

%%request_sync(Method, HTTPReq)
%%Method = atom. get/put/post etc.
%%HTTPReq = {URL, Headers, ContentType, Body} | {Url, Headers}
%%          URL = string
%%          Headers = [{Key, Value} | ...]
%%          Key = atom | list
%%          Value = list
%%          ContentType = list
%%          Body = list

%%request_sync(Method, HTTPReq, Settings)
%%Settings = [Setting]
%%           Setting = timeout | {timeout, Val}                       
%%           Val = integer
%%           If only timeout is specified, the default value of 5000 ms is
used.
%%request(Ref, Method, HTTPCont, Timeout)
%%Ref = any erlang term
%%Timeout = integer
%%    Spawns a process for each HTTP request and sends caller the message:
%%    {Ref,{Status,Headers,ContentType,Body}}
%%    whenever the reply comes back from the HTTP server 

7> http:request_sync(get, {"http://bruce:4567/index.html", []}).
{ok,{200,
     [{date,"Tue, 13 Nov 2001 13:41:07 GMT"},
      {server,"inets/2.5.6"},
      {connection,"close"},
      {'last-modified',"Fri, 27 Jul 2001 14:10:27 GMT"},
      {'content-length',"202"}],
     "text/html",
     "<HTML>\n  <HEAD>\n    <TITLE>Welcome SMS - O&M\n    </TITLE>\n
</HEAD>\n
 <FRAMESET COLS=\"150,*\">\n\t<FRAME SRC=\"left.html\" NAME=\"toc\"
noresize>\n\
t<FRAME SRC=\"title.html\" NAME=\"my_data\">\n  </FRAMESET>\n</HTML>\n"}}

It does have support for using a proxy server but I didn't need it so didn't
bother digging around. In the Headers field - you can include {Key,Value}
pairs for accessing password protected pages by specifying {"Authorization",
"Basic: <base64 encoded username:password>"}.

cheers,
