We're going to need to make HTTP requests:

Dereference remote actors/activites
- Will come in as individual requests sporadically
POSTing activities to remote inboxes
- Involve the same request being sent to dozens if not hundreds of servers all at once
Must support TLS (and allow us to require TLS, if necessary)

Probably use libcurl for this

Cannot use the simple interface, as it would block the thread
Must put adapter on libcurl api to work with zig async/await
Ideally our internal api would let us easily queue up the same request to a list of servers at the same time
Figure out connection limit, how many outstanding requests do we allow ourself to have?
