// Example HTTP client.
// Instead of buffering the whole HTTP response in memory and wait for the
// MG_EV_HTTP_MSG event, this client catches MG_EV_HTTP_CHUNK events and
// prints them. This is useful to download large content without spooling
// everything to memory, or catch chunked content.
//
// You can change `s_url` from the command line by executing: ./example YOUR_URL
//
// To enable SSL/TLS for this client, build it like this:
//    make MBEDTLS=/path/to/your/mbedtls/installation
//    make OPENSSL=/path/to/your/openssl/installation
