Not just the domain name.  This gives better HTTP 1.0 examples if someone
wants to copy them.

# Very simple HTTP client example:
# - Connects to a server.
# - Sends a HTTP request.
# - Reads the result.
#
# This example works in both MicroPython and CPython.
#
# To implement an HTTP client using less code, use mip to install the requests package:
# https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/tree/master/python-ecosys/requests
