A couple of people have responded (to me; not the list) with that very 
same response.  I've heard of it, but never used it before.  Care to 
give me the 30 second rundown [I can read the site, sure, but it's 
probably easier if you explained it :) ]?  Is it like a glorified socket 
connection or something?

Seriously... you should just read the site. It's a library that mimics browser behavior. It will follow "Location:" headers, push POST variables, etc. Why not just give the page a glance?
