* The purpose of an HTTP connection manager is to serve as a factory for new

* persistent connections making sure that only one thread of execution can
* have access to a connection at a time.
*
*
* Implementations of this interface must be thread-safe. Access to shared
* data must be synchronized as methods of this interface may be executed
* from multiple threads.
