Function zaplib::universal_http_stream::request

pub fn request(
    url: &str, 
    method: &str, 
    body: &[u8], 
    headers: &[(&str, &str)]
) -> Result<Box<dyn Read + Send>>

Create an HTTP stream that you can synchronously read from as data comes in.

Automatically supports gzip (native) or whatever your browser supports (wasm). TODO(JP): Maybe make compression support optional for native builds?

Returns a std::io::Reader that blocks until there is data available. It is highly recommended to only use this in a dedicated thread, and to wrap it in std::io::BufReader.

TODO(JP): See if there is some way to unify this with crate::universal_file::UniversalFile.
