Description

The idea is to create a simple http client based only on current groovy abilities.

Code example:

def r = HTTP.get(
  url : 'https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1',
  query: [ q: 'hello world' ],
  headers: [
    'Accept':'application/json',
    //'Authorization' : ...,
  ],
  //optional - ssl context 
  ssl : getNaiveSSLContext(),
  //optional - receiver
  receiver : { stream,context -> new JsonParser().parse(stream) },
  //optional - body to perform data transfer (post/put/... http methods) 
)
assert r.response.code == 200
println r.response.body

I suggest to integrate this class (attached) into groovy.
Before opening a pull request I'd like to know opinion of the language owners/gurus: is it ok? or maybe this functionality repeats something, that i missed/
