+			Implements high-level asynchronous access to URLs, such as downloading webpages over HTTP(S).</p>
+			<p>
+			Note that unlike other languages' URL access libraries, this class implements asynchronous requests.
+			This means that the functions only start a request and return immediately. The request is then
+			fulfilled in the background, while the server continues to run. The response is delivered back to the
+			plugin using callbacks. This allows the plugin to start requests and not block the server until the
+			response is received.</p>
+			<p>
+			The functions that make network requests are all static and have a dual interface. Either you can use
+			a single callback function, which gets called once the entire response is received or an error is
+			encountered. Or you can use a table of callback functions, each function being called whenever the
+			specific event happens during the request and response lifetime. See the Simple Callback and Callback
+			Table chapters later on this page for details and examples.</p>
+			<p>
+			All the request function also support optional parameters for further customization of the request -
+			the Headers parameter specifies additional HTTP headers that are to be sent (as a dictionary-table of
+			key -> value), the RequestBody parameter specifying the optional body of the request (used mainly for
+			POST and PUT requests), and an Options parameter specifying additional options specific to the protocol
+			used.

+					When you don't need fine control for receiving the requests and are interested only in the result,

+					or with an error message:

+					To provide complete control over the request and response handling, Cuberite allows plugins to pass
+					a table of callbacks as the Callback parameter. Then the respective functions are called for their
+					respective events during the lifetime of the request and response. This way it is possible to
+					process huge downloads that wouldn't fit into memory otherwise, or display detailed progress.</p>
+					Each callback function receives a "self" as its first parameter, this allows the functions to
+					access the Callback table and any of its other members, allowing the use of Lua object idiom for
+					the table. See <a href="https://forum.cuberite.org/thread-2062.html">this forum post</a> for an
+					example.
+					<p>
+					The following callback functions are used by Cuberite. Any callback that is not assigned is
+					silently ignored. The table may also contain other functions and other values, those are silently
+					ignored.</p>
