* std.http.Status.Class: add a "nonstandard" enum tag. Instead of
having `class` return an optional value, it can potentially return
nonstandard.
* extract out std.http.Client.Connection from std.http.Client.Request
- this code abstracts over plain/TLS only
- this is the type that will potentially be stored in a client's LRU
connection map
* introduce two-staged HTTP header parsing
- API users can rely on a heap-allocated buffer with a maximum limit,
which defaults to 16 KB, or they can provide a static buffer that
is borrowed by the Request instance.
- The entire HTTP header is buffered because there are strings in
there and they must be accessed later, such as with the case of
HTTP redirects.
- When buffering the HTTP header, the parser only looks for the
\r\n\r\n pattern. Further validation is done later.
- After the full HTTP header is buffered, it is parsed into
components such as Content-Length and Location.
* HTTP redirects are handled, with a maximum redirect count option that
defaults to 3.
- Connection: close is always used for now; implementing keep-alive
connections and an LRU connection pool in std.http.Client is a task
for another day.

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.
