/*

The Transport Class defines a transport as used by the
HTChannel class to communicate with the network,
the local file system etc. New transport objects may be registered at any
time. This allows the application to easily hook in its own transport layers.
The purpose of the HTTransport object is to contain transport dependent methods
for opening and closing a connection to the transport and also to get an
input stream and an output strean for reading and writing to the transport
respectively.

Note: The library core does not  define any default transport
objects - they are all considered part of the application. The library comes
with a default set of transports which can be initiated using the function
HTTransportInit() in HTInit module

This module is implemented by HTTrans.c, and it is
a part of the  W3C Sample Code
Library.

.
  Creation and Deletion Methods
.

All transport interfaces are registered dynamically in libwww. This means
that libwww is independent of the transport being used (for example TCP)
and you can therefore use libwww in any context you like. You have to specify
a set of parameters in order for libwww to be able to use it. The transport
class is defined as follows:
*/

typedef struct _HTTransport HTTransport;

typedef enum _HTTransportMode {
    HT_TP_SINGLE	= 0,		/* One single request at a time */
    HT_TP_PIPELINE	= 1,		/* Use pipelined requests */
    HT_TP_INTERLEAVE	= 2		/* Can we interleave requests? */
} HTTransportMode;

#include "HTIOStream.h"
#include "HTReq.h"

/*
(
  Add a Transport
)

A new transport can be registered at any time in the Library. You must specify
a name ad the supported channel mode that the transport supports. Then you
must also register two creation methods of an input and an output stream
respectively. You can find the definition of the I/O streams in the
HTIOStream module.

A transport object is registered with the flow control
mode that it supports. This mode describes whether we can issue multiple
requests at the same time.
