webcheck fails completely

[Doug Winter <doug@pigeonhold.com>]

Package: webcheck
Version: 1.0-10
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable


webcheck uses the old httplib.HTTP interface, which it shouldn't really.
It also uses it in such a way that just doesn't work.  I include a
couple of patches which fix this, however.
