Fluent HC

		This module provides an easy to use facade API for HttpClient based on the concept of
		a fluent interface. Fluent facade API exposes only the most fundamental functions of
        HttpClient and is indended for simple use cases that do not require the full flexibility 
        of HttpClient. For instance, fluent facade API relieves the users from having to deal with 
        connection management and resource deallocation. In most cases, though, this comes at
        a price of having to buffer content of response messages in memory. However, users can 
        still use custom response handlers to process response streams of arbitrary length.

----------------------------------
String result1 = Request.Get("http://somehost/")
        .version(HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1)
        .connectTimeout(1000)
        .socketTimeout(1000)
        .viaProxy(new HttpHost("myproxy", 8080))
        .execute().returnContent().asString();

String result2 = Request.Post("http://somehost/do-stuff")
        .version(HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1)
        .useExpectContinue()
        .viaProxy(new HttpHost("myproxy", 8080))
        .bodyForm(Form.form().add("username", "vip").add("password", "secret").build())
        .execute().returnContent().asString();

Document result3 = Request.Get("http://somehost/content")
    .execute().handleResponse(new ResponseHandler<Document>() {

    public Document handleResponse(final HttpResponse response) throws IOException {
        StatusLine statusLine = response.getStatusLine();
        HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
        if (statusLine.getStatusCode() >= 300) {
            throw new HttpResponseException(
                    statusLine.getStatusCode(),
                    statusLine.getReasonPhrase());
        }
        if (entity == null) {
            throw new ClientProtocolException("Response contains no content");
        }
        DocumentBuilderFactory dbfac = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        try {
            DocumentBuilder docBuilder = dbfac.newDocumentBuilder();
            ContentType contentType = ContentType.getOrDefault(entity);
            if (!contentType.equals(ContentType.APPLICATION_XML)) {
                throw new ClientProtocolException("Unexpected content type:" + contentType);
            }
            String charset = contentType.getCharset();
            if (charset == null) {
                charset = HTTP.DEFAULT_CONTENT_CHARSET;
            }
            return docBuilder.parse(entity.getContent(), charset);
        } catch (ParserConfigurationException ex) {
            throw new IllegalStateException(ex);
        } catch (SAXException ex) {
            throw new ClientProtocolException("Malformed XML document", ex);
