+/// @brief Pool of active HTTP connections.

+/// The HTTP server is designed to handle many connections simultaneously.
+/// The communication between the client and the server may take long time
+/// and the server must be able to react on other events while the communication
+/// with the clients is in progress. Thus, the server must track active
+/// connections and gracefully close them when needed. An obvious case when the
+/// connections must be terminated by the server is when the shutdown signal
+/// is received.
+///
+/// This object is a simple container for the server connections which provides
+/// means to terminate them on request.
