If you want to try with HTTPClient, the usage would be
using HTTPClient.HTTPC
r=HTTPC.get("http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xx/?request=var";)
r.body is an IOBuffer containing has the response body. If the response is
an ASCII string, you can stringify it with bytestring(r.body)
r.http_code has the response code
