Client transport connector extension contract.
 Note that unlike most of the other Jersey SPI extension contracts, Jersey Connector is not a typical runtime extension and as such cannot be directly registered using a configuration register(...) method. Jersey client runtime retrieves a Connector instance upon Jersey client runtime initialization using a ConnectorProvider registered in ClientConfig.

Synchronously process client request into a response.
The method is used by Jersey client runtime to synchronously send a request
and receive a response.
Params:
request – Jersey client request to be sent.
Throws:
ProcessingException – in case of any invocation failure.
Returns:
Jersey client response received for the client request./**

Asynchronously process client request into a response.

Get name of current connector.
