  Description     : a Go HTTP client with timeouts

 Provides an HTTP Transport that implements the RoundTripper interface
 and can be used as a built in replacement for the standard library's,
 providing:
 .
  * connection timeouts
  * request timeouts
   .
 This is a thin wrapper around http.Transport that sets dial timeouts and
 uses Go's internal timer scheduler to call the Go 1.1+ CancelRequest()
 API.
