///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Connection class is the base class for HTTP communication session.
// It abstracts the implementation of underlying transport library (ex libcurl).
// When the Connection-derived class is constructed, it is pre-set up with
// basic initialization information necessary to initiate the server request
// connection (such as the URL, request method, etc - see
// Transport::CreateConnection() for more details). But most implementations
// would not probably initiate the physical connection until SendHeaders
// is called.
// You normally shouldn't worry about using this class directly.
// http::Request and http::Response classes use it for communication.
// Effectively this class is the interface for the request/response objects to
// the transport-specific instance of the communication channel with the
// destination server. It is created by Transport as part of initiating
// the connection to the destination URI and is shared between the request and
// response object until all the data is sent to the server and the response
// is received. The class does NOT represent a persistent TCP connection though
// (e.g. in keep-alive scenarios).
