+The http service.
+
+This is for checking the availability and output of HTTP services. Basic HTTP
+content could be fetched and compared.HTTPS is not validating the server certificate!
+
+This should just return 0 on success and NOT 0 on error. Just to make internals generic
+to just report this code and not use a parser.
