Net::HTTPRequest

Class

This class is the base class for Net::HTTP request classes; it wraps together the request path and the request headers.

The class should not be used directly; instead you should use its subclasses.

Subclasses for HTTP requests:

Net::HTTP::Get
Net::HTTP::Head
Net::HTTP::Post
Net::HTTP::Put
Net::HTTP::Delete
Net::HTTP::Options
Net::HTTP::Trace
Net::HTTP::Patch

Subclasses for WebDAV requests:

Net::HTTP::Propfind
Net::HTTP::Proppatch
Net::HTTP::Mkcol
Net::HTTP::Copy
Net::HTTP::Move
Net::HTTP::Lock
Net::HTTP::Unlock

        self.class::REQUEST_HAS_BODY,
        self.class::RESPONSE_HAS_BODY,
        path, initheader
end

Creates an HTTP request object for path.

initheader are the default headers to use. Net::HTTP adds Accept-Encoding to enable compression of the response body unless Accept-Encoding or Range are supplied in initheader.
