between the httpc manager and request handler was synchronous.
When the manager starts a new request handler, this is no longer
a synchronous operation. Previously, the new request handler made
the connection to the server and issuing of the first request
(the reason for starting it) in the gen_server init function. If
the connection for some reason "took some time", the manager
hanged, leaving all other activities by that manager also
hanging. As a side-effect of these changes, some modules was also
renamed, and a new api module, httpc, has been introduced (the
old module, http, is *not* removed, but is now just wrapper for
httpc).
