SquidDev eead8b5755 A small amount of Lua documentation
I'd forgotten how tedious this was. I can't say any of these docs are
especially good, but it's something.

--- The http library allows communicating with web servers, sending and
-- receiving data from them.
--
-- #### `http_check` event
--
-- @module http
--- Asynchronously make a HTTP request to the given url.
--
-- This returns immediately, a [`http_success`](#http-success-event) or
-- [`http_failure`](#http-failure-event) will be queued once the request has
-- completed.
--
-- @tparam string url The url to request
-- @tparam[opt] string body An optional string containing the body of the
-- request. If specified, a `POST` request will be made instead.
-- @tparam[opt] { [string] = string } headers Additional headers to send as part
-- of this request.
-- @tparam[opt] boolean binary Whether to make a binary HTTP request. If true,
-- the body will not be UTF-8 encoded, and the received response will not be
-- decoded.
--
-- @tparam[2] {
-- url = string, body? = string, headers? = { [string] = string },
-- binary? = boolean, method? = string, redirect? = boolean,
-- } request Options for the request.
--
-- This table form is an expanded version of the previous syntax. All arguments
-- from above are passed in as fields instead (for instance,
-- `http.request("https://example.com")` becomes `http.request { url =
-- "https://example.com" }`).
--
-- This table also accepts several additional options:
--
-- - `method`: Which HTTP method to use, for instance `"PATCH"` or `"DELETE"`.
-- - `redirect`: Whether to follow HTTP redirects. Defaults to true.
--
-- @see http.get For a synchronous way to make GET requests.
-- @see http.post For a synchronous way to make POST requests.
