Dependencies: * Erlang/OTP R13-B or newer   * Application compiler to build, kernel, stdlib and ssl to runBuilding: For versions > 1.2.5, lhttpc is built using rebar. Take a look athttp://bitbucket.org/basho/rebar/wiki/Home for more information. There is still a Makefile with some of the old make targets, such as all, doc, test etc. for those who prefer that. The makefile will however just call rebar.Configuration: (environment variables) * connection_timeout: The time (in milliseconds) the client will try to                       kepp a HTTP/1.1 connection open. Changing this value                       in runtime has no effect, this can however be done                       through lhttpc_manager:update_connection_timeout/1.
