Detailed Description

A blocking HTTP client.

This interface is provided for convenience and testing; most applications
that are running an IOLoop will want to use `AsyncHTTPClient` instead.
Typical usage looks like this::

    http_client = httpclient.HTTPClient()
    try:
        response = http_client.fetch("http://www.google.com/")
        print response.body
    except httpclient.HTTPError, e:
        print "Error:", e

Closes the HTTPClient, freeing any resources used.

def tornado.httpclient.HTTPClient.fetch	(		self,
			request,
			kwargs
	)

Executes a request, returning an `HTTPResponse`.

The request may be either a string URL or an `HTTPRequest` object.
If it is a string, we construct an `HTTPRequest` using any additional
kwargs: ``HTTPRequest(request, **kwargs)``

If an error occurs during the fetch, we raise an `HTTPError`.
