+messages passed in HTTP style communication.  These are classes representing
+requests, responses and the headers contained within them.

+
+    HTTP::Message         base class (what's common between requests and responses)
+    - HTTP::Request       request on a resource (subclass of message)
+    - HTTP::Response      response from the resource (subclass of message)
+    HTTP::Headers         headers embedded in messages
+
+Other related modules:
+
+    HTTP::Config          configuration of request/response handling
+    HTTP::Headers::Util   helper functions for parsing of HTTP header values
