    Following discussions with the Lab, clarification is needed. We would like the ability for the ECBs to continue processing while the callout is performed. Would like the sockets to be non-blocking and the ECBs to not be suspended while waiting for the response. Would like similar functionality to the existing HTTP Client (HSC) async calls, with the ability to stream HTTP on a given socket / session. HTTP 1.0/1.1 does not support non-blocking query / responses.
