I concur, but to be honest, it's the only smalltalk http framework I've 
ever tried to use directly (the first smalltalk app I wrote was a simple 
web service using Zinc on Pharo).  Sven (Zinc creator) is very quick 
with patches and code examples on the mailing list.  The only drawback I 
can think of is that since it accurately captures the expansiveness that 
is the HTTP spec in an OO format and provides a lot of flexibility, it 
is large and somewhat complex.

I was also evaluating a port of Zodiac, mostly so I can download files 
from github directly into the image.
