http-conduit-downloader: HTTP downloader tailored for web-crawler needs.

HTTP/HTTPS downloader built on top of http-conduit and used in http://bazqux.com crawler.

• Handles all possible http-conduit exceptions and returns human readable error messages.

• Handles some web server bugs (no persistent connections on HTTP/1.1, returning deflate data instead of gzip)

• Ignores invalid SSL sertificates.

• Receives data in 32k blocks internally to reduce memory fragmentation on many parallel downloads.

• Limits total download size.

• Returns HTTP headers for subsequent redownloads and handles 'Not modified' results.

• Can be used with external DSN resolver (hsdns-cache for example).
