+# Nickserver::Adapters::Http
+#
+# Basic http adapter with ssl and minimal error handling.
+# Only implemented get requests so far.
+#
+# Error Handling:
+#
+# Pass a string as the 'rescue' option. If a ConnectionError occures
+# which includes the string passed it will be rescued and the request
+# will return nil. This allows handling the error inside the adapter so
+# that for the derived CelluloidHttp Adapter the actor does not get
+# killed.
