   The Host class manages what we know about a remote host. This can for example be what
   type of host it is, and what version it is using. Notice that a host object can be used
   to describe both a server or a client - all information in the Host object can be
   shared regardless of whether it is to be used in a server application or a client
   application.
   
   This module is implemented by HTHost.c, and it is a part of the W3C Sample Code
   Library.

CREATION AND DELETION METHODS

   We keep a cache of information that we know about a remote host. This allows us to be
   much more detailed in generating requests. Search the host info cache for a host object
   or create a new one and add it. Examples of host names are

  Remote Host Protocol Class and Version
  
   Define the host classof the host at the other end. A class is a generic description of

   The host versionis a finer distinction (sub-class) between various versions of the host
   class, for example HTTP/0.9, HTTP/1.1 etc. The host version is a bit flag that the
   protocol module can define on its own. That way we don't have to change this module
   when registering a new protocol module. The host typeis a description of whether we can
   keep the connection persistent or not.

   apply to the sequence of bytes in the entity-body (not necessarily the same as the
   message-body). A byte range operation may specify a single range of bytes, or a set of
   ranges within a single entity.
   
   You can also check whether a specific range unit is OK. We always say YESexcept if we
