Mainline Mbed HTTP

[janjongboom]

Description

Mbed OS is an operating system for IoT devices, and a lot of IoT devices connect to the internet through HTTP / HTTPS. But Mbed OS does not contain an HTTP implementation, whilst there is a CoAP one (and soon an MQTT one I believe). About a year and half ago I wrote mbed-http which is now widely used, including in partner projects (1, 2, 3, 4), in the Treasure Data documentation (5), and soon also in our own docs (6).

I think that this project should move into Mbed OS core. It would mean that it could be part of CI, is guaranteed to be updated when the OS updates, and it can serve as a set of real-world tests around the network interface APIs for many boards. It already uses TLSSockets underneath, and it has Greentea tests.

@0xc0170 Still a lot of issues closed that should be open. Including the ones I mentioned last week.
