ABOUT THIS GEM
===============
RightScale hasn't pushed a new gem for neither right_aws nor right_http_connection since April 2010 and February 2009.
However, there aresome important fixes the HEAD available on Github. I need these fixes and don't want to point my gemfile at a
Github repo that can change on me. So I just build and push the gem myself.

== DESCRIPTION:
Rightscale::HttpConnection is a robust HTTP/S library. It implements a retry
algorithm for low-level network errors.
== FEATURES:
- provides put/get streaming
- does configurable retries on connect and read timeouts, DNS failures, etc.
- HTTPS certificate checking
== SYNOPSIS:
== REQUIREMENTS:
- 2/11/08: If you use RightScale::HttpConnection in conjunction with attachment_fu, the
HttpConnection gem must be included (using the require statement) AFTER
attachment_fu.
This is due to a conflict between the HttpConnection gem and another
gem required by attachment_fu.
