Of course I'm biased, as the author of both http-client and intarweb, but
I would say yeah, they're the most commonly used eggs for http stuff.
http-client should suffice, unless you need to do really fancy stuff, then
you could build your own on top of intarweb.

If you need any help, feel free to send me a mail or ask in #chicken on
Freenode IRC.
