I am hesitating to throw this into QtNetwork. It would add another
dependency to qtnetwork and add quite a bit of code that’s not being used
by everybody. Keeping it in a separate repository is more modular, and
should be more maintainable for everybody.

The only reason to throw it into qtbase would be if we required this for
some of our platform plugins, but I can’t see that need.
