In fact, my transformer isn�t a real include transformer, since it doesn�t act
as a content aggregator. More I think on it, and more I believe
HTTPRequestTransformer should be a more appropriate name.

I wrote this transformer because I didn't want to use the SourceWriting
Transformer hack for doing SOAP call (it is not its function anyway). Since SOAP
call is POST request containing XML, I thought of writing a transformer able to
do (at least) GET and POST requests.

The transformer is useful in many use cases like doing Google search, retrieving
stock quotes, post form etc. Beside that, you can specify header-request to pass
additional information about the request, and about the client itself, to the
server (like cookies). In addition, the transformer supports challenge-response
authentication mechanisms (Basic and Digest) which can be used by a server to
challenge a client request and by a client to provide authentication
information. It also support NTLM authentication. Finally, it uses JTidy for
formatting HTML content in XHTML format. You can�t do all these stuffs with the
CInclude Transformer, unless I misunderstood.

I saw a real need on the user mailing list for such a transformer and I thought
sharing it with the Cocoon community would be profitable.

WDYT?
