Title: Summary of changes

Hello!

Here's what I did, in order of likely controversial-ness

* fixed a few bugs that kept me from being able to execute the RSS demo, in both rss_capturer.py and Socrata.py
* while troubleshooting my way through, it made sense to simplify http access. All HTTP requests now go through the 'requests' library, instead of httplib2, urllib, and poster.
* I've altered the signature of SocrataBase, it now takes the URL and authentication parameters as direct arguments. I'm planning a future enhancement that will look for ~/.socrata, /etc/socrata.cfg, or environment variables for it's configuration.
