LEGAL BOILERPLATE

Look, I get it. The entity doing business as "Sentry" was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2015 as Functional Software, Inc. and is gonna need some rights from me in order to utilize my contributions in this here PR. So here's the deal: I retain all rights, title and interest in and to my contributions, and by keeping this boilerplate intact I confirm that Sentry can use, modify, copy, and redistribute my contributions, under Sentry's choice of terms.

Let's make it clear that this is only for outgoing http requests.

@markushi This all looks good. Does it make sense to link to info on W3C in these documents? I don't know too much about java, so not sure if this is base knowledge, or helpful for folks to get context.
