/**
 * An HTTP request.
 *
 * <p> An {@code HttpRequest} instance is built through a {@code HttpRequest}
 * {@linkplain HttpRequest.Builder builder}. An {@code HttpRequest} builder
 * is obtained from one of the {@link HttpRequest#newBuilder(URI) newBuilder}
 * methods. A request's {@linkplain URI}, headers, and body can be set. Request
 * bodies are provided through a {@link BodyPublisher} object supplied to the
 * {@link Builder#DELETE(BodyPublisher) DELETE},
 * {@link Builder#POST(BodyPublisher) POST} or
 * {@link Builder#PUT(BodyPublisher) PUT} methods.
 * Once all required parameters have been set in the builder, {@link
 * Builder#build() build} will return the {@code HttpRequest}. Builders can be
 * copied and modified many times in order to build multiple related requests
 * that differ in some parameters.
 *
 * <p> <b>Example HTTP interactions:</b>
 * <pre>{@code    // GET
 *    HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(
 *          HttpRequest.newBuilder(new URI("http://www.foo.com/"))
 *                     .headers("Foo", "foovalue", "Bar", "barvalue")
 *                     .GET()
 *                     .build(),
 *          BodyHandler.asString()
 *    );
 *    int statusCode = response.statusCode();
 *    String body = response.body();
 *
 *    // POST
 *    HttpResponse<Path> response = client.send(
 *          HttpRequest.newBuilder(new URI("http://www.foo.com/"))
 *                     .headers("Foo", "foovalue", "Bar", "barvalue")
 *                     .POST(BodyPublisher.fromString("Hello world"))
 *                     .build(),
 *          BodyHandler.asFile(Paths.get("/path"))
 *    );
 *    int statusCode = response.statusCode();
 *    Path body = response.body(); // should be "/path" }</pre>
 *
 * <p> The request is sent and the response obtained by invoking one of the
 * following methods in {@link HttpClient}.
 * <ul><li>{@link HttpClient#send(HttpRequest, BodyHandler)} blocks
 * until the entire request has been sent and the response has been received.</li>
 * <li>{@link HttpClient#sendAsync(HttpRequest, BodyHandler)} sends the
 * request and receives the response asynchronously. Returns immediately with a
 * {@linkplain CompletableFuture CompletableFuture}&lt;{@linkplain HttpResponse}&gt;.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p> Once a {@link HttpResponse} is received, the headers, response code,
 * and body (typically) are available. Whether the response body bytes has been
 * read or not depends on the type {@code <T>} of the response body. See below.
 *
 * <p> <b>Request bodies</b>
 *
 * <p> Request bodies can be sent using one of the convenience request publisher
 * implementations, provided in {@link BodyPublisher}. Alternatively, a custom
 * Publisher implementation can be used.
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link BodyPublisher#fromByteArray(byte[]) fromByteArray(byte[])} from byte array</li>
 * <li>{@link BodyPublisher#fromByteArrays(Iterable) fromByteArrays(Iterable)}
 *      from an Iterable of byte arrays</li>
 * <li>{@link BodyPublisher#fromFile(java.nio.file.Path) fromFile(Path)} from the file located
 *     at the given Path</li>
 * <li>{@link BodyPublisher#fromString(java.lang.String) fromString(String)} from a String </li>
 * <li>{@link BodyPublisher#fromInputStream(Supplier) fromInputStream}({@link Supplier}&lt;
 *      {@link InputStream}&gt;) from an InputStream obtained from a Supplier</li>
 * <li>{@link BodyPublisher#noBody() noBody()} no request body is sent</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p> <b>Response bodies</b>
 *
 * <p> Responses bodies are handled at two levels. When sending the request,
 * a response {@linkplain BodyHandler body handler} is specified. This is a
 * function that will be called with the response status code and headers, once
 * they are received. This function must to return a {@link
 * HttpResponse.BodySubscriber}{@code <T>} which is used to read the response
 * body bytes, converting them into an instance of {@code T}. After this occurs,
 * the response becomes available in a {@link HttpResponse}, and the {@link
 * HttpResponse#body()} can be invoked to obtain the actual body. Some
 * implementations and examples of usage of both {@link
 * HttpResponse.BodySubscriber} and {@link HttpResponse.BodyHandler} are
 * provided in {@link HttpResponse}:
 *
 * <p> <b>Some of the pre-defined body handlers</b><br>
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link BodyHandler#asByteArray() BodyHandler.asByteArray()}
 * stores the body in a byte array</li>
 * <li>{@link BodyHandler#asString() BodyHandler.asString()}
 * stores the body as a String </li>
 * <li>{@link BodyHandler#asFile(java.nio.file.Path)
 * BodyHandler.asFile(Path)} stores the body in a named file</li>
 * <li>{@link BodyHandler#replace(Object) BodyHandler.replace(Objectt)}
 * discards the response body and returns the given replacement value instead.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p> <b>Blocking/asynchronous behavior and thread usage</b>
 *
 * <p> There are two styles of request sending: <i>synchronous</i> and
 * <i>asynchronous</i>. {@link HttpClient#send(HttpRequest, HttpResponse.BodyHandler) }
 * blocks the calling thread until the request has been sent and the response received.
 *
 * <p> {@link HttpClient#sendAsync(HttpRequest, HttpResponse.BodyHandler)} is
 * asynchronous and returns immediately with a {@link CompletableFuture}&lt;{@link
 * HttpResponse}&gt; and when this object completes (possibly in a different
 * thread) the response has been received.
 *
 * <p> Instances of {@code CompletableFuture} can be combined in different ways
 * to declare the dependencies among several asynchronous tasks, while allowing
 * for the maximum level of parallelism to be utilized.
 *
 * <p> <a id="securitychecks"></a><b>Security checks</b></a>
 *
 * <p> If a security manager is present then security checks are performed by
 * the HTTP Client's sending methods. An appropriate {@link URLPermission} is
 * required to access the destination server, and proxy server if one has
 * been configured. The {@code URLPermission} form used to access proxies uses a
 * method parameter of {@code "CONNECT"} (for all kinds of proxying) and a URL
 * string  of the form {@code "socket://host:port"} where host and port specify
 * the proxy's address.
 *
 * <p> In this implementation, if an explicit {@linkplain
 * HttpClient.Builder#executor(Executor) executor} has not been set for an
 * {@code HttpClient}, and a security manager has been installed, then the
 * default executor will execute asynchronous and dependent tasks in a context
 * that is granted no permissions. Custom {@linkplain HttpRequest.BodyPublisher
 * request body publishers}, {@linkplain HttpResponse.BodyHandler response body
 * handlers}, {@linkplain HttpResponse.BodySubscriber response body subscribers},
 * and {@linkplain WebSocket.Listener WebSocket Listeners}, if executing
 * operations that require privileges, should do so  within an appropriate
 * {@linkplain AccessController#doPrivileged(PrivilegedAction) privileged context}.
 *
 * <p> <b>Examples</b>
 * <pre>{@code    HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
 *
 *    HttpRequest request = HttpRequest
 *            .newBuilder(URI.create("http://www.foo.com/"))
 *            .POST(BodyPublisher.fromString("Hello world"))
 *            .build();
 *
 *    HttpResponse<Path> response =
 *        client.send(request, BodyHandler.asFile(Paths.get("/path")));
 *
 *    Path body = response.body(); }</pre>
 *
 * <p><b>Asynchronous Example</b>
 *
 * <p> The above example will work asynchronously, if {@link HttpClient#sendAsync
 * (HttpRequest, HttpResponse.BodyHandler) sendAsync} is used instead of
 * {@link HttpClient#send(HttpRequest,HttpResponse.BodyHandler) send}
 * in which case the returned object is a {@link CompletableFuture}{@code <HttpResponse>}
 * instead of {@link HttpResponse}. The following example shows how multiple requests
 * can be sent asynchronously. It also shows how dependent asynchronous operations
 * (receiving response, and receiving response body) can be chained easily using
 * one of the many methods in {@code CompletableFuture}.
 * <pre>{@code     // fetch a list of target URIs asynchronously and store them in Files.
 *
 *    List<URI> targets = ...
 *
 *    List<CompletableFuture<File>> futures = targets
 *        .stream()
 *        .map(target -> client
 *                .sendAsync(
 *                    HttpRequest.newBuilder(target)
 *                               .GET()
 *                               .build(),
 *                    BodyHandler.asFile(Paths.get("base", target.getPath())))
 *                .thenApply(response -> response.body())
 *                .thenApply(path -> path.toFile()))
 *        .collect(Collectors.toList());
 *
 *    // all async operations waited for here
 *
 *    CompletableFuture.allOf(futures.toArray(new CompletableFuture<?>[0]))
 *        .join();
 *
 *    // all elements of futures have completed and can be examined.
 *    // Use File.exists() to check whether file was successfully downloaded }</pre>

     * Instances of {@code ByteBuffer} published  by the publisher must be
     * allocated by the publisher, and must not be accessed after being handed
     * over to the library.
     * These subscriptions complete normally when the request is fully sent,
     * and can be canceled or terminated early through error. If a request
     * needs to be resent for any reason, then a new subscription is created
     * which is expected to generate the same data as before.

     * <p> A publisher that reports a {@linkplain #contentLength() content
