// Package chaff provides useful primitives for enabling chaff requests on your
// http servers.
//
// One might want to employ chaff requests to obscure which clients are and are
// not communicating with your server by allowing all clients to periodically
// communicate with the server.
//
// Request size and latencies are tracked on a rolling basis so that responses
// to chaff requests are similar to real traffic in terms of latency and
// response size.
