Title: Switch httpclient to use net module instead of sockets

This doesn't currently work with https connections. The old sockets module ignored return codes from SSL_shutdown, whereas net does not. This results in the following exception being thrown:

```nimrod
Traceback (most recent call last)
a9.nim(2) a9
httpclient.nim(377) getContent
httpclient.nim(358) get
httpclient.nim(332) request
net.nim(429) close
net.nim(260) socketError
net.nim(143) raiseSSLError
Error: unhandled exception: No error reported. [SslError]
```
Does anybody no the reason for this?
