 /// A composable, [Future]-based library for making HTTP requests.
 ///
 /// The easiest way to use this library is via the top-level functions. They
 /// allow you to make individual HTTP requests with minimal hassle:
 ///
 ///     import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
 ///
 ///     var url = "http://example.com/whatsit/create";
 ///     http.post(url, fields: {"name": "doodle", "color": "blue"})
 ///         .then((response) {
 ///       print("Response status: ${response.statusCode}");
 ///       print("Response body: ${response.body}");
 ///     });
 ///
 ///     http.read("http://example.com/foobar.txt").then(print);
 ///
 /// If you're making multiple requests to the same server, you can keep open a
 /// persistent connection by using a [Client] rather than making one-off
 /// requests. If you do this, make sure to close the client when you're done:
 ///
 ///     var client = new http.Client();
 ///     client.post(
 ///         "http://example.com/whatsit/create",
 ///         fields: {"name": "doodle", "color": "blue"})
 ///       .chain((response) => client.get(response.bodyFields['uri']))
-///       .transform((response) => print(response.body))
+///       .then((response) => print(response.body))
 ///       .onComplete((_) => client.close());
 ///
 /// You can also exert more fine-grained control over your requests and
 /// responses by creating [Request] or [StreamedRequest] objects yourself and
 /// passing them to [Client.send].
 ///
 /// This package is designed to be composable. This makes it easy for external
 /// libraries to work with one another to add behavior to it. Libraries wishing
 /// to add behavior should create a subclass of [BaseClient] that wraps another
 /// [Client] and adds the desired behavior:
 ///
 ///     class UserAgentClient extends http.BaseClient {
 ///       final String userAgent;
 ///       final http.Client _inner;
 ///
 ///       UserAgentClient(this.userAgent, this._inner);
 ///
 ///       Future<StreamedResponse> send(BaseRequest request) {
 ///         request.headers[HttpHeaders.USER_AGENT] = userAgent;
 ///         return _inner.send(request);
 ///       }
 ///     }
