no dependencies

[tanner0101]

Hoping to start testing out this package w/ Vapor soon and needed a version that supported Swift 4 and didn't have any dependencies.

I know eventually this package should include an HTTP server built on swift-server/transport, but for now having this package import IBM's ecosystem of packages makes it difficult for us to test.

This probably won't get merged, but I thought i'd contribute it back nonetheless.

• support Swift 4
• remove all dependencies
• include CHTTPParser
• remove reliance on utils.c

I would support merging the part of this PR which removes the dependency on https://github.com/IBM-Swift/CHTTPParser.git and adds a CHTTPParser target to this package. Or we could create https://github.com/swift-server/CHTTPParser and depend on that.

Hey @tanner0101 . Yes - we should certainly start to remove the dependencies.

In the short term we could do this by bringing everything into the project, i.e. bring in a fork of BlueSocket (stripping it back to just the parts that we're using) etc, and then replace those as TLS and networking comes in.

Would that be reasonable?

Note that @ianpartridge has also raised a PR to add a simple/initial HTTPServer API so users don't have to create a BlueSocketSimpleServer any more.

@seabaylea yup. that sounds perfectly reasonable to me!

Hey @tanner0101 - Please go take a look at #39 and see if you think it resolves this PR's issue to the point that it can be closed.

P.S. I know you mentioned Swift 4 above as well - that's going to happen, and soon (see #40), but that need (as necessary as it is) technically doesn't belong on an issue titled "no dependencies", so I still think this one should be closable.

@tanner0101 I think this work has now been superseded. Are you happy for it to be closed?
