HTTPGenericRequest is the parent of the Net::HTTPRequest class. Do not use this directly; use a subclass of Net::HTTPRequest.
Mixes in the Net::HTTPHeader module to provide easier access to HTTP headers.
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.
