# `kumo.http.build_client({PARAMS})`
Constructs an HTTP client object.
The client maintains state, including a connection pool, that can be used
across multiple HTTP requests.
`PARAMS` is an object-style table with the follow keys:
* `user_agent` - optional string that will be used to set the `User-Agent` header
for all requests made by the client
```lua
local response = kumo.http.build_client({}):get('https://example.com/'):send()
print(response:status_code(), response:status_reason())
for k, v in pairs(response:headers()) do
print('Header', k, v)
end
print(response:text())
```
