/*
 * Basic support for HTTP serving.
 *
 * As libevent is a library for dealing with event notification and most
 * interesting applications are networked today, I have often found the
 * need to write HTTP code.  The following prototypes and definitions provide
 * an application with a minimal interface for making HTTP requests and for
 * creating a very simple HTTP server.
