## Http Rest
####################################################################################################
## The first implementation of the HttpRest module, as a bunch of script functions 
## Based on the REST api from MindTouch's Dream SDK
##
## INSTALL:
## You need log4net.dll mindtouch.core.dll mindtouch.dream.dll and SgmlReaderDll.dll from the SDK
## Download DREAM from http`://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173074 
## Unpack it, and you can find these dlls in the "dist" folder.
## Make sure to put them in the folder with the module.
