+Netlib is a collection of network utility classes, used by the pathod and
+mitmproxy projects. It differs from other projects in some fundamental
+respects, because both pathod and mitmproxy often need to violate standards.
+This means that protocols are implemented as small, well-contained and flexible
+functions, and are designed to allow misbehaviour when needed.
