34 Same interface as "Net::HTTP" but it will never try multiple reads when
35 the read_response_headers() or read_entity_body() methods are invoked.
36 This make it possible to multiplex multiple Net::HTTP::NB using select
37 without risk blocking.
38
39 If read_response_headers() did not see enough data to complete the
40 headers an empty list is returned.
41
42 If read_entity_body() did not see new entity data in its read the value
43 -1 is returned.
