[plt-scheme] PLaneT now supports HTTP downloading
The version of the PLaneT collection in Subversion now supports
retrieving PLaneT packages using the HTTP protocol. It can still
download packages using the old protocol, but now by default it uses
HTTP. The parameter USE-HTTP-DOWNLOADS? described in the planet
collections's doc.txt file controls what protocol to use, but unless one
protocol or the other doesn't work for you, there's no reason to care.
This change was made because of numerous problems people had with
firewalls that only allow HTTP traffic; hopefully these people will now
be able to use PLaneT more easily.
This is experimental, and I'd love to hear feedback on whether it works
for you.
