A noble goal.

There has never existed any serious documentation or examples of using  
twisted.web2.client.

The twisted.web2.client.HTTPClient you're referring to never existed  
outside of a branch.  It was based heavily on zanshin and had several  
fatal flaws including not reusing any existing HTTP parsing code.

You're looking for twisted.web2.clienth.http.  However there is  
unfortunately no documentation and no examples and only a vague  
hypothesis about how to actually use it.

I'd be glad to help you either here or on irc (freenode.net  
#twisted.web)

Cleaning this up is something I do plan to do in the near future  
however it's possible I'll be hit by a car and die before I get the  
chance.

I hope this was somewhat helpful.
