v0.8.0

This version introduces a number of new things:

• Cookie support
• Fine tuning for following redirects (follow_keep_method, follow_if_same_host, follow_if_same_protocol, etc)
• Much better memory handling (lower footprint)
• Better proxy authentication (you can now pass a proxy URL with user/pass, e.g. http://user:[email protected])
• And a bit of code refactoring.

Important changes:

• follow: true will no longer default to 10 redirects. You now need to explicitly pass a number.
• timeout: true will no longer default to 10000 milisecs. Same as above, a number is expected.
