NSInputStream requires overriding and implementing private methods in order to
use it with NSURLConnection [1]. It is cleaner to use the private but stable
and open source CFStreamAbstract.h header from CF-Lite to implement a
CFReadStream. Since CFReadStream is toll-free bridged to NSInputStream, the
remainder of the HTTPTransport code can remain unchanged.

implicit_cast<> only performs a cast in cases where an implicit
conversion would be possible. It’s even safer than static_cast<> It’s an
“explicit implicit” cast, which is not normally necsesary, but is
frequently required when working with the ?: operator, functions like
std::min() and std::max(), and logging and testing macros.
The public style guide does not mention implicit_cast<> only because it
is not part of the standard library, but would otherwise require it in
these situations. Since base does provide implicit_cast<>, it should be
used whenever possible.
The only uses of static_cast<> not converted to implicit_cast<> are
those that require static_cast<>, such as those that assign an integer
constant to a variable of an enum type.
