* extract http protocol into protocol.zig, as it is shared between client and server
* coalesce Request and Response back into Client.zig, they don't contain
any large chunks of code anymore
* http.Server is implemented as basic as possible, a simple example below:
```zig
fn handler(res: *Server.Response) !void {
while (true) {
defer res.reset();
try res.waitForCompleteHead();
res.headers.transfer_encoding = .{ .content_length = 14 };
res.headers.connection = res.request.headers.connection;
try res.sendResponseHead();
_ = try res.write("Hello, World!\n");
if (res.connection.closing) break;
}
}
pub fn main() !void {
var server = Server.init(std.heap.page_allocator, .{ .reuse_address = true });
defer server.deinit();
try server.listen(try net.Address.parseIp("127.0.0.1", 8080));
while (true) {
const res = try server.accept(.{ .dynamic = 8192 });
const thread = try std.Thread.spawn(.{}, handler, .{res});
thread.detach();
}
}
```
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

License
The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
