 ## Client
-Http4s provides both a server and a client. And we need both a server and a client for our testing. So rather than re-use http4s I thought I'd try (sttp)[https://github.com/softwaremill/sttp]. Unlike uzhttp, sttp is a battled hardend scala http client solution that's been around quite a while. It has versions for a variety of backend and is pretty comprehensive. Importantly, one of those backends is a Netty-based zio implementation and this is what we shall be using.
