An HTTP/HTTP2 client library for Erlang built around libcurl-multi and libevent.

We wanted a compatible and high-performance HTTP client so took advantage of the 15+ years of development that has gone into libcurl. To allow large numbers of simultaneous connections libevent is used along with the libcurl-multi interface.
