public class HttpRequest

Represents an outgoing HTTP request.

This class encapsulates an HTTP request, including the HTTP method, URL, headers, and body. It provides methods to set and get these properties.

This class is useful when you want to create an HTTP request to send to a server. For example, you can use it to create a GET request to retrieve a resource, a POST request to create a resource, a PUT request to update a resource, or a DELETE request to delete a resource.

Note: This class provides a copy() method to create a copy of the HTTP request. This is useful when you want to modify the HTTP request without affecting the original request.

the content to be sent

getBodyAsBinaryData

public BinaryData getBodyAsBinaryData()

Get the request content.

setBody

public HttpRequest setBody(BinaryData content)

Set request content.
