 ### Streaming
 When dealing with larger amount of data, it's critical to stream the response body instead of aggregating in-memory. Handling a response stream is done using a delegate protocol. The following example demonstrates how to count the number of bytes in a streaming response body:
 ```swift
+import NIO
+import NIOHTTP1
+
 class CountingDelegate: HTTPClientResponseDelegate {
     typealias Response = Int
