            "content": "I keep having to find the title of things on the web. This seems like a really simple request,\njust get() the object, parse for a title tag, you're done. Ha, I wish. There are several\nproblems with this approach:\n\nWhat if the resource is on a very slow server? Do we wait for ever or what?\nWhat if the resource is a 900 gig file? You don't want to download that.\nWhat if the page title isn't in a title tag, but is buried in the HTML somewhere?\nWhat if the resource is an MP3 file, or a word document or something?\n...\n\nSo, let's solve these issues once.\n",

        "METHODS": {
            "content": "only one, the title(url) method. Call it with an url, get the title if possible, undef if it\nwasn't. Very simple.\n",

            "content": "Many, many, many things. Still unimplemented:\n\nGet titles of MP3 files, Word Docs, PDFs, etc.\nConfigurable.. well, anything, in fact. Timeout would be a good start.\nBetter error reporting.\n",
