### Byte/Bytes
```C++
typedef uint8_t Byte;
typedef std::vector< Byte > Bytes;
```
Byte represents an unsigned 8-bit wide data-type, Bytes provides container functionality with [Standard Template Library](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp) (STL) [vector](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector) collection semantics.
See [std::uint8_t](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/integer) and [std::vector](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/vector) for further details.
### Http
The static HTTP class offers limited client capabilities for consuming RESTful services. This will be removed in future version and replaced with the Restless client framework.
#### Methods
- [to_bytes](#httpto_bytes)
- [close](#httpclose)
- [is_open](#httpis_open)
- [is_closed](#httpis_closed)

#### Http::close
```C++
static void close( const std::shared_ptr< Request >& value );
```

```
Determine if the HTTP [request](#request) object is active, that is say, it has a connected socket to a remote endpoint. Invoking this method on a inactive [request](#request) has no effect.
##### Parameters
| parameter | type | default value | direction |
|:---------:|------------------------------|:-------------:|:---------:|

```
Perform a synchronous, read: wait for the result, HTTP [request](#request). If an error occurs the [response](#response) will contain details of the error, indicated by a status code of zero (0).
[Settings](#settings) may be specified via the second parameter.

#### Methods
- [start](#loggerstart)
- [stop](#loggerstop)
- [log](#loggerlog)
- [log_if](#loggerlog_if)
- [level](#loggerlevel)
#### Logger::start
```C++
virtual void start( const std::shared_ptr< const restbed::Settings >& settings ) = 0;
```
Initialise a logger instance; see also [stop](#loggerstop).
The [Settings](#settings) passed are the same as those given to [Exchange::start](#exchangestart).
After this method has returned the instance **MUST** be ready to start receiving [log](#loggerlog) and [log_if](#loggerlog_if) invocations.
##### Parameters
| name | type | default value | direction |
|:-----:|--------------------------------|:-------------:|:---------:|
| value | [restbed::Settings](#settings) | n/a | input |
##### Return Value

##### Parameters
n/a
##### Return Value

#### Logger::log
```C++
virtual void log( const Level level, const char* format, ... ) = 0;
```

See [printf](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/c/fprintf) family of functions for format directives.
> The format string is composed of zero or more directives: ordinary characters (not %), which are copied unchanged to the output stream; and conversion specifications, each of which results in fetching zero or more subsequent arguments. Each conversion specification is >introduced by the % character.
##### Parameters
| name | type | default value | direction |
|:------:|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|:-------------:|:---------:|
| level | [restbed::Logger::Level](#loggerlevel) | n/a | input |

| ... | [variadic argument list](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/variadic) | n/a | input |
##### Return Value
n/a
##### Exceptions
Any exceptions raised will result in the service ignoring the fault and printing directly to [Standard Error (stderr)](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/c).
#### Logger::log_if
```C++
virtual void log_if( bool expression, const Level level, const char* format, ... ) = 0;
```
