title: HTTP Request in Swift without NSURLRequest
body: <p>We want to make HTTP(S) requests (GET) to call an API. The Problem is, NSURLRequest is (at the moment) not implemented in the Foundation for Linux (<a href="https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/master/Foundation/NSURLRequest.swift" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/master/Foundation/NSURLRequest.swift</a>).</p>
  
  <p>Are there any other possibilities to create an HTTP request?</p>
