Previously, using `.send()` on `Request` would require to set either the
Transfer-Encoding or the Content-Length header.
In an effort to provide better ergonomics for this library and to avoid
making users fall in a not-so obvious pitfall, the library should build a
valid Request without asking the user to mess around with the headers.
This commit attempts to fix this issue: if the user use `.send()` to
provide an unknown sized reader, the chunked Transfer-Encoding will be
used. Of course, there are prior checks to ensure we do not override the
user wish, like if the user already set a Content-Length or a
Transfer-Encoding.
This commit fix an edge case where the Content-Length would not be
automatically set if the Transfer-Encoding is set but not chunked.
`Some(AgentState)` seem to be assumed pretty much everywhere. I could not
find any test or piece of code hinting at how `None` should be interpreted,
or even see how a state of `None` could even be constructed.

This also reverts a change to send_body that was originally added to
return the number of bytes written. It's no longer needed now that we
check the size of the reader in advance.
Fixes#76.
In https://github.com/algesten/ureq/pull/67#issuecomment-647112883,
Shnatsel points out that there are uses for read_timeout vs timeout. For
instance, when downloading a large file it's useful to have a read
timouet in case the download stalls, but it would be hard to pick a good
overall timeout without knowing the size of the file and the bandwidth
of the connection.
* Update documentation.
Synchronize goals section between README and rustdoc, and add two goals
(blocking API; no unsafe) that were mentioned elsewhere in the README.
Add error handling to examples for the module and for the Response
object.
And a section on synthetic errors to the top-level module documentation.
* Add back missing close brace.
* Add main function that returns Result.
* Add links to send_bytes and send_form.
* Document chunked encoding for send.
* Use a larger vec of bytes for send.
This deprecates timeout_read() and timeout_write() in favor of
timeout(). The new timeout method on Request takes a Duration instead
of a number of milliseconds, and is measured against overall request
time, not per-read time.
Once a request is started, the timeout is turned into a deadline
specific to that call. The deadline is used in conjunction with the
new DeadlineStream class, which sets a timeout on each read according
to the remaining time for the request. Once the request is done,
the DeadlineStream is unwrapped via .into::<Stream>() to become
an undecorated Stream again for return to the pool. Timeouts on the
stream are unset at this point.
Still to be done:
Add a setting on Agent for default timeout.
Change header-writing code to apply overall deadline rather than
per-write timeout.
Fixes#28.
When sending a JSON request a Content-Type of application/json is
usually wanted. This is often set as a default for JSON methods by HTTP
clients so can be confusing when it is not set. However, we do not want
to prevent the user from setting their own Content-Type.
