## Package com.google.appengine.api.urlfetch Description

The URL Fetch service can be used to make HTTP and HTTPS requests of other servers on the internet. The `URLConnection` class can also be used to do this, and in App Engine is implemented by using URL Fetch. Chunked and hanging requests, however, are not supported. More information is available in the on-line documentation.

As is typical for App Engine services, the `URLFetchServiceFactory` returns a `URLFetchService`, which is used to actually make requests of the service.
