### `HTTPRequest` definition

Used by `HTTPApiTable.fetch` and `HTTPApiTable.fetch_async`.

    {
        url = "http://example.org",

        timeout = 10,
        -- Timeout for connection in seconds. Default is 3 seconds.

        post_data = "Raw POST request data string" OR {field1 = "data1", field2 = "data2"},
        -- Optional, if specified a POST request with post_data is performed.
        -- Accepts both a string and a table. If a table is specified, encodes
        -- table as x-www-form-urlencoded key-value pairs.
        -- If post_data is not specified, a GET request is performed instead.

        user_agent = "ExampleUserAgent",
        -- Optional, if specified replaces the default minetest user agent with
        -- given string

        extra_headers = { "Accept-Language: en-us", "Accept-Charset: utf-8" },
        -- Optional, if specified adds additional headers to the HTTP request.
        -- You must make sure that the header strings follow HTTP specification
        -- ("Key: Value").

        multipart = boolean
        -- Optional, if true performs a multipart HTTP request.
        -- Default is false.
    }

### `HTTPRequestResult` definition

Passed to `HTTPApiTable.fetch` callback. Returned by
`HTTPApiTable.fetch_async_get`.

    {
        completed = true,
        -- If true, the request has finished (either succeeded, failed or timed
        -- out)

        succeeded = true,
        -- If true, the request was successful

        timeout = false,
        -- If true, the request timed out

        -- HTTP status code

        data = "response"
    }

fgettext_ne(string, ...)
^ call core.gettext(string), replace "$1"..."$9" with the given
^ extra arguments and return the result
fgettext(string, ...) -> string

Async
-----

core.handle_async(async_job,parameters,finished)
^ execute a function asynchronously
^ async_job is a function receiving one parameter and returning one parameter
^ parameters parameter table passed to async_job
^ finished function to be called once async_job has finished
^    the result of async_job is passed to this function

Limitations of Async operations
 -No access to global lua variables, don't even try
 -Limited set of available functions
    e.g. No access to functions modifying menu like core.start,core.close,
    core.show_path_select_dialog


Background music
----------------

The main menu supports background music.
It looks for a `main_menu` sound in `$USER_PATH/sounds`. The same naming
conventions as for normal sounds apply.
This means the player can add a custom sound.
It will be played in the main menu (gain = 1.0), looped.
