HTTP Client Manager

HTTP Client Manager is a module for developers having to interact with REST Services.

Its main goal is to define a standard usage when dealing with HTTP clients by introducing a new Guzzle based plugin which allows you to manage HTTP clients by using Guzzle Service Descriptions:

"Service descriptions define web service APIs by documenting each operation, the operation's parameters, validation options for each parameter, an operation's response, how the response is parsed, and any errors that can be raised for an operation. Writing a service description for a web service allows you to more quickly consume a web service than writing concrete commands for each web service operation."
