### Description

The function `httplib_kill()` provides a platform independent way to send a signal to a process. The function uses the Postfix `kill()` functions in environments where that function is supported or emulates that function with own code for other operating systems. The function call returns **0** if sending the signal was successful and **-1** otherwise.

Please note that for non Posix-compliant systems the functionality of the Posix `kill()` function has not been fully implemented. Currently only the `SIGKILL` has been implemented and tested fully. For other signals the functionality is unknown and may not lead to the desired results.
