 * Abstract non-blocking HTTP connection interface. Each connection contains an
 * HTTP execution context, which can be used to maintain a processing state,
 * as well as the actual {@link HttpRequest} and {@link HttpResponse} that are
 * being transmitted over this connection. Both the request and
 * the response objects can be {@code null} if there is no incoming or
 * outgoing message currently being transferred.
 * 
 * Please note non-blocking HTTP connections are stateful and not thread safe.
 * Input / output operations on non-blocking HTTP connections should be
 * restricted to the dispatch events triggered by the I/O event dispatch thread.
 * However, the {@link IOControl} interface is fully threading safe and can be
 * manipulated from any thread.
