How do I make a simple GET request in OCaml?
<p>I'm trying to do something that should be simple: make a GET request to a url. However, when I search for examples of how to do this I often wind up with near-gibberish like <a href="http://alaska-kamtchatka.blogspot.ca/2012/10/how-to-write-simple-web-application.html" rel="noreferrer">this</a>.</p>

<p>Does anyone know how to make a simple HTTP request using OCaml? I'm an OCaml newbie with some Haskell exp.</p>

<p><strong>NOTE:</strong></p>

<p>A solution using the lowest possible level OCaml would be ideal. I've seen the <code>Cohttp</code> library used, but I'm more interested in a native (?) <code>HTTP</code> OCaml lib or something along those lines.</p>

<p>In response to <code>@antron</code>, a solution using the lowest possible level native OCaml would be much appreciated. I'm led to believe that this will involve the <code>Unix</code> library. But if there is another solution that does not involve 3rd party libraries it would be just as welcome.</p>
