+
+    This is an example illustrating the use of the iosockstream object from the
+    dlib C++ Library.
+
+    This program simply connects to www.google.com at port 80 and requests the
+    main Google web page.  It then prints what it gets back from Google to the
+    screen.
+
+
+    For those of you curious about HTTP check out the excellent introduction at
+    http://www.jmarshall.com/easy/http/
