Module documentation for 0.1.0

Network
- Network.HTTP
  - Network.HTTP.Client
    - Network.HTTP.Client.Restricted

Depends on 8 packages(full list with versions):

base, crypton-connection, data-default, http-client, http-client-tls, network, network-bsd, utf8-string

Addition to the http-client and http-client-tls libraries, that restricts the HTTP servers that can be used.

This is useful when a security policy needs to eg, prevent connections to HTTP servers on localhost or a local network, or only allow connections to a specific HTTP server.

It handles restricting redirects as well as the initial HTTP connection, and it also guards against DNS poisoning attacks.
