+%description
+HttpCore is a set of low level HTTP transport components that can be
+used to build custom client and server side HTTP services with a
+minimal footprint. HttpCore supports two I/O models: blocking I/O
+model based on the classic Java I/O and non-blocking, event driven I/O
+model based on Java NIO.
+
+The blocking I/O model may be more appropriate for data intensive, low
+latency scenarios, whereas the non-blocking model may be more
+appropriate for high latency scenarios where raw data throughput is
+less important than the ability to handle thousands of simultaneous
+HTTP connections in a resource efficient manner.
