http client

[Johan Blom]

Hi,

you are using the asynchronous interface to the HTTP client that expects 
the reply to be sent as an event in a form suitable for handle_cast/2 in 
  a gen_server behaviour.

To use the synchronous interface try,
http:request_sync(get, {"http://www.compulenta.ru/rss.xml", []}, []).

Btw, sorry for the late reply (only reading this list occasionally)
