motivation: Better performance thanks to connection reuse
changes:
- Added a connection pool for HTTP/1.1
- All requests automatically use the connection pool
- Up to 8 parallel connections per (scheme, host, port)
- Multiple additional unit tests
motivation: the Swift Server Workgroup is not a legal entity and cannot hold copyrights. with this change, code authors continue and retain their copyrights under the apache license and previous copyrights note, but Apple steps up instead of the workgroup which has no legal status
changes:
* update header files to say "Apple Inc. and the AsyncHTTPClient project authors" instead of "Swift Server Workgroup and the AsyncHTTPClient project authors"
* update validation scripts to check for the correct header
* add CONTRIBUTING.md file to explain how to make contributions and include a legal notice about licensing the contribution to Apple and the project
* regenerate CONTRIBUTORS.md to reflect most recent contributions
* refactor proxy configuration
motivation: make proxy configuration follow same convention as other configuration
changes:
* nest Proxy under HTTPClient.Configuration instad of top level HTTPClient
* make host and port public and mutable, following convention of other configuration objects in this library
* add some API docs
* fixup
