This class can generate HTML to embed Hulu videos in Web pages.

It can take a given Hulu video identifier and sends a request to the Hulu site using the oEmbed protocol to retrieve the HTML to embed a player for the specified video in another Web page.

The class can also retrieve information from the Hulu site about the specified video.

It can also download and access Hulu's public sitemap files to search for Hulu public content.

Number 5		 Hulu is a popular video site. It does not provide an API but it provides means to generate HTML to embed Hulu videos on other sites.

The class uses the Hulu embed support to extract details from Hulu videos that otherwise could have been provided by a real API.

It can also extract the list of site maps with the URLs of all videos that the site provides, thus helping to build the foundation of a search API for Hulu videos.
