+= persistent_http
+
+* http://github.com/bpardee/persistent_http
+
+== DESCRIPTION:
+
+Persistent connections using Net::HTTP with a connection pool.
+
+This is based on Eric Holder's Net::HTTP::Persistent libary but uses
+a connection pool of Net::HTTP objects instead of a connection per 
+thread.  C/T is fine if you're only using your http threads to make 
+connections but if you use them in child threads then I suspect you 
+will have a thread memory leak.  Also, you will generally get less
+connection resets if the most recently used connection is always 
+returned.
+
+== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
+
+* Supports SSL
+* Thread-safe
+* Pure ruby
+* Timeout-less speed boost for 1.8 (by Aaron Patterson)
+
+== INSTALL:
+
+  gem install persistent_http
+
+== EXAMPLE USAGE:
+
+  require 'persistent_http'
+
+  class MyHTTPClient
