-# Pool -- Simple HTTP client pooling
-
-## Install
-
-<pre>
-  npm install pool
-</pre>
-
-## Super simple to use
-
-Pool has two core usage scenarios: creating a pool and creating a set of pools. Creating a pool is easy:
-
-<pre>
-  var pool = require('pool'),
-      sys = require('sys'),
-      local = pool.createPool('80', 'localhost');
-
-  client = local.request('GET', '/', function (request) {
-    // You can work with the request here just as you would as if it 
-    // was returned from http.createClient
-    request.on('end', function () {
-      sys.puts('Request ended');
-    });
-  });
-</pre>
-
-Creating a set of pools can be accomplished using a PoolManager:
-
-<pre>
-  var pool = require('pool'),
-      manager = pool.createPoolManager(),
-      local = manager.getPool('80', 'localhost');
-
-  client = local.request('GET', '/', function (request) {
-    // You can work with the request here just as you would as if it 
-    // was returned from http.createClient
-    request.on('end', function () {
-      sys.puts('Request ended');
-    });        
-  });
-</pre>
