REST request where server is not closing the socket

IMHO, the implementation of the http client in espruino should:

• use HTTP/1.0
  
• parse the Content-Length header (I believe Chunked-Encoding can be avoided with HTTP/1.0)
  
• close the connection once the number of payload bytes indicated in the Content-Length header have been read
  
  

Implementing HTTP/1.1 can be a future enhancement once the above is working...
