# HTTP request class. # This class wraps together the request header and the request path. # You cannot use this class directly. Instead, you should use one of its # subclasses: Net::HTTP::Get, Net::HTTP::Post, Net::HTTP::Head. # class Net::HTTPRequest < Net::HTTPGenericRequest # 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+. def initialize(path, initheader = nil) super self.class::METHOD, self.class::REQUEST_HAS_BODY, self.class::RESPONSE_HAS_BODY, path, initheader end end
