need advice: http client / async / danga socket

[oliver oli]

hi!

i would like to make a very simple authentication plugin for djabberd 
that's doing a http request. there are some occurrences of http requests 
in the livejournal plugins. deducing from the comments ("LAME LAME 
LAME"), you don't recommend usage of LWP::UserAgent inside of djabberd 
is there any better (and still simple) solution for doing http request 
that plays well with djabberd and asynchronous Danga::Socket?
