All Known Implementing Classes:

HttpRequest
```
public interface Request
```
Request represents a HTTP request, and offers a fluent interface to customize various attributes such as the path, the headers, the content, etc.

You can create Request objects via HttpClient.newRequest(String) and you can send them using either send() for a blocking semantic, or send(Response.CompleteListener) for an asynchronous semantic.

ContentResponse send()

                     TimeoutException,
                     ExecutionException
```
    Sends this request and returns the response.
    This method should be used when a simple blocking semantic is needed, and when it is known that the response content can be buffered without exceeding memory constraints.
    For example, this method is not appropriate to download big files from a server; consider using send(Response.CompleteListener) instead, passing your own Response.Listener or a utility listener such as InputStreamResponseListener.
    The method returns when the complete event is fired.
    
    Returns:
    
    a ContentResponse for this request
    
    Throws:
    
    InterruptedException - if send thread is interrupted
    
    TimeoutException - if send times out
    
    ExecutionException - if execution fails
    
    See Also:
    
    Response.CompleteListener.onComplete(Result)
  - send
```
void send(Response.CompleteListener listener)
```
    Sends this request and asynchronously notifies the given listener for response events.
    
    This method should be used when the application needs to be notified of the various response events as they happen, or when the application needs to efficiently manage the response content.
    
    The listener passed to this method may implement not only Response.CompleteListener but also other response listener interfaces, and all the events implemented will be notified. This allows application code to write a single listener class to handle all relevant events.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the listener that receives response events
  - abort
```
boolean abort(Throwable cause)
```
    Attempts to abort the send of this request.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cause - the abort cause, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the abort succeeded
  - getAbortCause
```
Throwable getAbortCause()
```
    Returns:
    
    the abort cause passed to abort(Throwable), or null if this request has not been aborted
