This is the interface definition for the interface with the contract ID wasmcloud:httpclient.
Actors utilizing this interface can make HTTP requests and receive HTTP responses for processing. Since this is just an interface, and not an actual provider, you will need to check the documentation for individual provider implementations for a list of link definition values supported by that provider.
The following is a list of implementations of the wasmcloud:httpclient contract. Feel free to submit a PR adding your implementation if you have a community/open source version.
| Name | Vendor | Description |

| HTTPClient | wasmCloud | wasmCloud implementation of the HTTP Client Provider |
