-Each request method takes a callback which is invoked when the response has been received from the server. The first argument is the status code, which is either a regular HTTP status code, or -1 to denote a DNS, connection or out-of-memory failure, or a timeout (currently at 10 seconds).

 For each operation it is possible to provide custom HTTP headers or override standard headers. By default the `Host` header is deduced from the URL and `User-Agent` is `ESP8266`. Note, however, that the `Connection` header *can not* be overridden! It is always set to `close`.
