mut c: Client = Client::new();

get and post are one-shot: connect, send, read the response, close. The free send sends a request you built yourself. The Host header is filled in from the address automatically, and Connection: close is set so the server does not hold the connection for keep-alive.

For HTTPS, net::https wraps the same machinery with TLS underneath.
