Description

Apple [just announced](https://www.swift.org/blog/introducing-swift-http-types) a new package containing client- and server-independent HTTP types, which we should probably recommend to downstream consumers. Conveniences such as fetching JSON, HTML or XML documents could then be built on top of their `HTTPRequest` (which looks quite similar to our implementation too).

Research direction

Start by comparing this library's HTTPRequest implementation with the HTTP types in swift-http-types, then review the package's current downstream-facing usage. Determine whether deprecation is appropriate and document the recommendation for consumers, including how JSON, HTML, or XML conveniences would relate to the replacement.
