  Description     : provide the most appropriate HTTP client with a Future
API

Future::HTTP is a wrapping combining Future with the API provided by
AnyEvent::HTTP The backend used for the HTTP protocols depends on whether
one of the event loops is loaded. The currently supported backends are:

  - HTTP::Tiny
  - HTTP::Tiny::Paranoid (not currently in Debian)
  - Mojolicious
  - AnyEvent
  - IO::Async

This package is a dependency of WWW::Mechanize::Chrome which is in turn a
dependency of Request Tracker 6. I am preparing both packages for upload.

The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
