HTTP requests off the frame: method, headers, body, timeout_seconds and save_to options. The reply reaches on_response as a map whose kind is response, with status, headers and body, or error; save_to downloads report to on_progress with kind progress, and a body over 256 KB going out with kind upload, natively; a browser's fetch does not report one. Each kind is an EVENT_* constant.

2 functions, 5 constants. Scripts reach it as http::.

Functions

Argument kinds are the script values a call passes: node is a node handle, any a table or value of any kind, fn a callback.

function	acts on	what it does
`cancel(int) -> any`	—	Stop waiting on a request: its reply is dropped, a download stops writing, and the handler and any await hear `kind` `cancelled` next frame. False when it had already finished.
`request(any, any?, any?) -> any`	—	Start an HTTP request and return the id its reply carries, to await or to match inside the handler. With `save_to` the body is written under the user directory and the reply says where in `path`.
