// <h1>HTTP Messages</h1>
//
// <strong>HttpRequestMessage</strong> and <strong>HttpReplyMessage</strong> messages are used by
// the browser and server components to simulate HTTP requests and replies. Their fields are shown
// in the table below:
//
// <table border="1">
//   <tr><th>message type</th><th>field</th><th>Description</th></tr>
//   <tr><td>Common</td><td>targetUrl</td><td>URL of the intended recipient</td></tr>
//   <tr><td>Common</td><td>originatorUrl</td><td>URL of the originator. Only applicable if the originator is a server</td></tr>
//   <tr><td>Common</td><td>protocol</td><td>The HTTP protocol version, http/1.0 or http/1.1</td></tr>
//   <tr><td>Common</td><td>keepAlive</td><td>True if the keep-alive header is simulated as set</td></tr>
//   <tr><td>Common</td><td>serial</td><td>Convenience field, which allows resources requested and sent to be serially tagged</td></tr>
//   <tr><td>Common</td><td>payload</td><td>The message body as a string</td></tr>
//   <tr><td>Request</td><td>requestString</td><td>The request line. Emulates the HTTP request, e.g. GET {resource} {protocol}</td></tr>
//   <tr><td>Request</td><td>bad</td><td>Indicates that the browser is issuing an invalid request. The server responds with a 404:Not found.</td></tr>
//   <tr><td>Response</td><td>resultCode</td><td>The numerical result code, e.g. 200 for OK or 404 for not found</td></tr>
//   <tr><td>Response</td><td>payloadType</td><td>The type of the returned object, page, image or text resource, as an integer</td></tr>
// </table>
//
// The two messages, request and reply, are subclassed from a common base message type,
// HttpBaseMessage.
//
// Servers generate replies containing simplified HTML bodies as payload, either according to the
// random parameters or site definition scripts, as discussed in HttpServer.
// The  body is a list of the form:
// <pre>{resource}[;{site};{delay};{bad}]</pre>
//  - <strong>resource</strong> is the only required field and contains a reference to a resource
//    object, by default simulated as stored locally.
//  - <strong>site</strong> is by default omitted, signifying that the resource is local.
//    This field is only used when referring to resources hosted by third party sites.
//  - <strong>delay</strong> is a optional parameter which causes the receiving browser to insert
//    a delay before requesting the resource.
//  - <strong>bad</strong> is a optional parameter used as a convenience when modeling anomalous
//    messages. The receiving browser will generate a request to the target site, marked as bad
//    (see the table above). The target site will then automatically answer with a
//    <strong>404:Not found</strong>.
//    This feature can be used to simulate usage errors or malicious behavior, e.g. DDoS attacks.
