Improving and Extending Services Kit

Services Kit is the backbone of many Internet-based applications on Haiku such as Weather, HaikuDepot, WebPositive and more... This makes the kit one of the more important components in the system, as the majority of the user experience on Haiku is dependent on this kit.

However, Services Kit is not without any issues. It's slow by design, doesn't support HTTP/1.1 (which also contributes to the slowness), and may randomly crash on you. All of which don't translate to a decent user experience.

My project this GSoC is to dig into Services Kit, iron out annoying bugs, getting rid of the bottlenecks, adding some more features, like FTP support and give it some better documentation so that people outside of the project can make good use of the kit.
