Basic HTTP/1.0 client.

Requests are prepared using the Client#request() method. Body can be sent with Request#write(). Request#end() finishes sending the request (or sends it at all if no body was written).

Request implements WritableStreamInterface, so a Stream can be piped to it. Response implements ReadableStreamInterface.

Interesting events emitted by Request:

• response: The response headers were received from the server and successfully parsed. The first argument is a Response instance.
• error: An error occurred.
• end: The request is finished. If an error occurred, it is passed as first argument. Second and third arguments are the Response and the Request.

Interesting events emitted by Response:

• data: Passes a chunk of the response body as first argument and a Response object itself as second argument.
• error: An error occurred.
• end: The response has been fully received. If an error occurred, it is passed as first argument.
