/*******************************************************************************

        Read a page from a website, gathering the entire page before 
        returning any content. This illustrates a high-level approach
        to retrieving web-content, whereas the homepage example shows
        a somewhat lower-level approach. 

        Note that this expects a fully qualified URL (with scheme), 
        such as "http://www.digitalmars.com/d/intro.html"
