  # \Class \Gem::Net::HTTP provides a rich library that implements the client
  # in a client-server model that uses the \HTTP request-response protocol.
  # For information about \HTTP, see:
  #
  # - {Hypertext Transfer Protocol}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol].
  # - {Technical overview}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol#Technical_overview].
  #
  # == About the Examples
  #
  # :include: doc/net-http/examples.rdoc
  #
  # == Strategies
  #
  # - If you will make only a few GET requests,
  #   consider using {OpenURI}[rdoc-ref:OpenURI].
  # - If you will make only a few requests of all kinds,
  #   consider using the various singleton convenience methods in this class.
  #   Each of the following methods automatically starts and finishes
  #   a {session}[rdoc-ref:Gem::Net::HTTP@Sessions] that sends a single request:
  #
  #     # Return string response body.
  #     Gem::Net::HTTP.get(hostname, path)
  #     Gem::Net::HTTP.get(uri)
  #
  #     # Write string response body to $stdout.
  #     Gem::Net::HTTP.get_print(hostname, path)
  #     Gem::Net::HTTP.get_print(uri)
  #
  #     # Return response as Gem::Net::HTTPResponse object.
  #     Gem::Net::HTTP.get_response(hostname, path)
  #     Gem::Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)
  #     data = '{"title": "foo", "body": "bar", "userId": 1}'
  #     Gem::Net::HTTP.post(uri, data)
  #     params = {title: 'foo', body: 'bar', userId: 1}
  #     Gem::Net::HTTP.post_form(uri, params)
  #
  # - If performance is important, consider using sessions, which lower request overhead.
  #   This {session}[rdoc-ref:Gem::Net::HTTP@Sessions] has multiple requests for
  #   {HTTP methods}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol#Request_methods]
  #   and {WebDAV methods}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV#Implementation]:
  #
  #     Gem::Net::HTTP.start(hostname) do |http|
  #       # Session started automatically before block execution.
  #       http.get(path)
  #       http.head(path)
  #       body = 'Some text'
  #       http.post(path, body)  # Can also have a block.
  #       http.put(path, body)
  #       http.delete(path)
  #       http.options(path)
  #       http.trace(path)
  #       http.patch(path, body) # Can also have a block.
  #       http.copy(path)
  #       http.lock(path, body)
  #       http.mkcol(path, body)
  #       http.move(path)
  #       http.propfind(path, body)
  #       http.proppatch(path, body)
  #       http.unlock(path, body)
  #       # Session finished automatically at block exit.
  #     end
  #
  # The methods cited above are convenience methods that, via their few arguments,
  # allow minimal control over the requests.
  # For greater control, consider using {request objects}[rdoc-ref:Gem::Net::HTTPRequest].
  #
  # == URIs
  #
  # On the internet, a URI
  # ({Universal Resource Identifier}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier])
  # is a string that identifies a particular resource.
  # It consists of some or all of: scheme, hostname, path, query, and fragment;
  # see {URI syntax}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier#Syntax].
  #
  # A Ruby {Gem::URI::Generic}[rdoc-ref:Gem::URI::Generic] object
  # represents an internet URI.
  # It provides, among others, methods
  # +scheme+, +hostname+, +path+, +query+, and +fragment+.
  #
  # === Schemes
  #
  # An internet \Gem::URI has
  # a {scheme}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_URI_schemes].
  #
  # The two schemes supported in \Gem::Net::HTTP are <tt>'https'</tt> and <tt>'http'</tt>:
  #
  #   uri.scheme                       # => "https"
  #   Gem::URI('http://example.com').scheme # => "http"
  #
  # === Hostnames
  #
  # A hostname identifies a server (host) to which requests may be sent:
  #
  #   hostname = uri.hostname # => "jsonplaceholder.typicode.com"
  #   Gem::Net::HTTP.start(hostname) do |http|
  #     # Some HTTP stuff.
  #   end
  #
  # === Paths
  #
  # A host-specific path identifies a resource on the host:
  #
  #   _uri = uri.dup
  #   _uri.path = '/todos/1'
  #   hostname = _uri.hostname
  #   path = _uri.path
  #   Gem::Net::HTTP.get(hostname, path)
  #
  # === Queries
  #
  # A host-specific query adds name/value pairs to the URI:
  #
  #   _uri = uri.dup
  #   params = {userId: 1, completed: false}
  #   _uri.query = Gem::URI.encode_www_form(params)
  #   _uri # => #<Gem::URI::HTTPS https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com?userId=1&completed=false>
  #   Gem::Net::HTTP.get(_uri)
  #
  # === Fragments
  #
  # A {URI fragment}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_fragment] has no effect
  # in \Gem::Net::HTTP;
  # the same data is returned, regardless of whether a fragment is included.
  #
  # == Request Headers
  #
  # Request headers may be used to pass additional information to the host,
  # similar to arguments passed in a method call;
  # each header is a name/value pair.
  #
  # Each of the \Gem::Net::HTTP methods that sends a request to the host
  # has optional argument +headers+,
  # where the headers are expressed as a hash of field-name/value pairs:
  #
  #   headers = {Accept: 'application/json', Connection: 'Keep-Alive'}
  #   Gem::Net::HTTP.get(uri, headers)
  #
  # See lists of both standard request fields and common request fields at
  # {Request Fields}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields#Request_fields].
  # A host may also accept other custom fields.
  #
  # == \HTTP Sessions
  #
  # A _session_ is a connection between a server (host) and a client that:
  #
  # - Is begun by instance method Gem::Net::HTTP#start.
  # - May contain any number of requests.
  # - Is ended by instance method Gem::Net::HTTP#finish.
  #
  # See example sessions at {Strategies}[rdoc-ref:Gem::Net::HTTP@Strategies].
  #
  # === Session Using \Gem::Net::HTTP.start
  #
  # If you have many requests to make to a single host (and port),
  # consider using singleton method Gem::Net::HTTP.start with a block;
  # the method handles the session automatically by:
  #
  # - Calling #start before block execution.
  # - Executing the block.
  # - Calling #finish after block execution.
  #
  # In the block, you can use these instance methods,
  # each of which that sends a single request:
  #
  # - {HTTP methods}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol#Request_methods]:
  #
  #   - #get, #request_get: GET.
  #   - #head, #request_head: HEAD.
  #   - #post, #request_post: POST.
  #   - #delete: DELETE.
  #   - #options: OPTIONS.
  #   - #trace: TRACE.
  #   - #patch: PATCH.
  #
  # - {WebDAV methods}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV#Implementation]:
  #
  #   - #copy: COPY.
  #   - #lock: LOCK.
  #   - #mkcol: MKCOL.
  #   - #move: MOVE.
  #   - #propfind: PROPFIND.
  #   - #proppatch: PROPPATCH.
  #   - #unlock: UNLOCK.
  #
  # === Session Using \Gem::Net::HTTP.start and \Gem::Net::HTTP.finish
  #
  # You can manage a session manually using methods #start and #finish:
  #
  #   http = Gem::Net::HTTP.new(hostname)
  #   http.start
  #   http.get('/todos/1')
  #   http.get('/todos/2')
  #   http.delete('/posts/1')
  #   http.finish # Needed to free resources.
  #
  # === Single-Request Session
  #
  # Certain convenience methods automatically handle a session by:
  #
  # - Creating an \HTTP object
  # - Starting a session.
  # - Sending a single request.
  # - Finishing the session.
  # - Destroying the object.
  #
  # Such methods that send GET requests:
  #
  # - ::get: Returns the string response body.
  # - ::get_print: Writes the string response body to $stdout.
  # - ::get_response: Returns a Gem::Net::HTTPResponse object.
  #
  # Such methods that send POST requests:
  #
  # - ::post: Posts data to the host.
  # - ::post_form: Posts form data to the host.
  #
  # == \HTTP Requests and Responses
  #
  # Many of the methods above are convenience methods,
  # each of which sends a request and returns a string
  # without directly using \Gem::Net::HTTPRequest and \Gem::Net::HTTPResponse objects.
  #
  # You can, however, directly create a request object, send the request,
  # and retrieve the response object; see:
  #
  # - Gem::Net::HTTPRequest.
  # - Gem::Net::HTTPResponse.
  #
  # == Following Redirection
  #
  # Each returned response is an instance of a subclass of Gem::Net::HTTPResponse.
  # See the {response class hierarchy}[rdoc-ref:Gem::Net::HTTPResponse@Response+Subclasses].
  #
  # In particular, class Gem::Net::HTTPRedirection is the parent
  # of all redirection classes.
  # This allows you to craft a case statement to handle redirections properly:
  #
  #   def fetch(uri, limit = 10)
  #     # You should choose a better exception.
  #     raise ArgumentError, 'Too many HTTP redirects' if limit == 0
  #
  #     res = Gem::Net::HTTP.get_response(Gem::URI(uri))
  #     case res
  #     when Gem::Net::HTTPSuccess     # Any success class.
  #       res
  #     when Gem::Net::HTTPRedirection # Any redirection class.
  #       location = res['Location']
  #       warn "Redirected to #{location}"
  #       fetch(location, limit - 1)
  #     else                      # Any other class.
  #       res.value
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  #   fetch(uri)
  #
  # == Basic Authentication
  #
  # Basic authentication is performed according to
  # {RFC2617}[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt]:
  #
  #   req = Gem::Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
  #   req.basic_auth('user', 'pass')
  #   res = Gem::Net::HTTP.start(hostname) do |http|
  #     http.request(req)
  #   end
  #
  # == Streaming Response Bodies
  #
  # By default \Gem::Net::HTTP reads an entire response into memory.  If you are
  # handling large files or wish to implement a progress bar you can instead
  # stream the body directly to an IO.
  #
  #   Gem::Net::HTTP.start(hostname) do |http|
  #     req = Gem::Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
  #     http.request(req) do |res|
  #       open('t.tmp', 'w') do |f|
  #         res.read_body do |chunk|
  #           f.write chunk
  #         end
  #       end
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # == HTTPS
  #
  # HTTPS is enabled for an \HTTP connection by Gem::Net::HTTP#use_ssl=:
  #
  #   Gem::Net::HTTP.start(hostname, :use_ssl => true) do |http|
  #     req = Gem::Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
  #     res = http.request(req)
  #   end
  #
  # Or if you simply want to make a GET request, you may pass in a URI
  # object that has an \HTTPS URL. \Gem::Net::HTTP automatically turns on TLS
  # verification if the URI object has a 'https' :URI scheme:
  #
  #   uri # => #<Gem::URI::HTTPS https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/>
  #   Gem::Net::HTTP.get(uri)
  #
  # == Proxy Server
  #
  # An \HTTP object can have
  # a {proxy server}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server].
  #
  # You can create an \HTTP object with a proxy server
  # using method Gem::Net::HTTP.new or method Gem::Net::HTTP.start.
  #
  # The proxy may be defined either by argument +p_addr+
  # or by environment variable <tt>'http_proxy'</tt>.
  #
  # === Proxy Using Argument +p_addr+ as a \String
  #
  # When argument +p_addr+ is a string hostname,
  # the returned +http+ has the given host as its proxy:
  #
  #   http = Gem::Net::HTTP.new(hostname, nil, 'proxy.example')
  #   http.proxy?          # => true
  #   http.proxy_from_env? # => false
  #   http.proxy_address   # => "proxy.example"
  #   # These use default values.
  #   http.proxy_port      # => 80
  #   http.proxy_user      # => nil
  #   http.proxy_pass      # => nil
  #
  # The port, username, and password for the proxy may also be given:
  #
  #   http = Gem::Net::HTTP.new(hostname, nil, 'proxy.example', 8000, 'pname', 'ppass')
  #   # => #<Gem::Net::HTTP jsonplaceholder.typicode.com:80 open=false>
  #   http.proxy?          # => true
  #   http.proxy_from_env? # => false
  #   http.proxy_address   # => "proxy.example"
  #   http.proxy_port      # => 8000
  #   http.proxy_user      # => "pname"
  #   http.proxy_pass      # => "ppass"
  #
  # === Proxy Using '<tt>ENV['http_proxy']</tt>'
  #
  # When environment variable <tt>'http_proxy'</tt>
  # is set to a \Gem::URI string,
  # the returned +http+ will have the server at that URI as its proxy;
  # note that the \Gem::URI string must have a protocol
  # such as <tt>'http'</tt> or <tt>'https'</tt>:
  #
  #   ENV['http_proxy'] = 'http://example.com'
  #   http = Gem::Net::HTTP.new(hostname)
  #   http.proxy?          # => true
  #   http.proxy_from_env? # => true
  #   http.proxy_address   # => "example.com"
  #   # These use default values.
  #   http.proxy_port      # => 80
  #   http.proxy_user      # => nil
  #   http.proxy_pass      # => nil
  #
  # The \Gem::URI string may include proxy username, password, and port number:
  #
  #   ENV['http_proxy'] = 'http://pname:ppass@example.com:8000'
  #   http = Gem::Net::HTTP.new(hostname)
  #   http.proxy?          # => true
  #   http.proxy_from_env? # => true
  #   http.proxy_address   # => "example.com"
  #   http.proxy_port      # => 8000
  #   http.proxy_user      # => "pname"
  #   http.proxy_pass      # => "ppass"
  #
  # === Filtering Proxies
  #
  # With method Gem::Net::HTTP.new (but not Gem::Net::HTTP.start),
  # you can use argument +p_no_proxy+ to filter proxies:
  #
  # - Reject a certain address:
  #
  #     http = Gem::Net::HTTP.new('example.com', nil, 'proxy.example', 8000, 'pname', 'ppass', 'proxy.example')
  #     http.proxy_address # => nil
  #
  # - Reject certain domains or subdomains:
  #
  #     http = Gem::Net::HTTP.new('example.com', nil, 'my.proxy.example', 8000, 'pname', 'ppass', 'proxy.example')
  #     http.proxy_address # => nil
  #
  # - Reject certain addresses and port combinations:
  #
  #     http = Gem::Net::HTTP.new('example.com', nil, 'proxy.example', 8000, 'pname', 'ppass', 'proxy.example:1234')
  #     http.proxy_address # => "proxy.example"
  #
  #     http = Gem::Net::HTTP.new('example.com', nil, 'proxy.example', 8000, 'pname', 'ppass', 'proxy.example:8000')
  #     http.proxy_address # => nil
  #
  # - Reject a list of the types above delimited using a comma:
  #
  #     http = Gem::Net::HTTP.new('example.com', nil, 'proxy.example', 8000, 'pname', 'ppass', 'my.proxy,proxy.example:8000')
  #     http.proxy_address # => nil
  #
  #     http = Gem::Net::HTTP.new('example.com', nil, 'my.proxy', 8000, 'pname', 'ppass', 'my.proxy,proxy.example:8000')
  #     http.proxy_address # => nil
  #
  # == Compression and Decompression
  #
  # \Gem::Net::HTTP does not compress the body of a request before sending.
  #
  # By default, \Gem::Net::HTTP adds header <tt>'Accept-Encoding'</tt>
  # to a new {request object}[rdoc-ref:Gem::Net::HTTPRequest]:
  #
  #   Gem::Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)['Accept-Encoding']
  #   # => "gzip;q=1.0,deflate;q=0.6,identity;q=0.3"
  #
  # This requests the server to zip-encode the response body if there is one;
  # the server is not required to do so.
  #
  # \Gem::Net::HTTP does not automatically decompress a response body
  # if the response has header <tt>'Content-Range'</tt>.
  #
  # Otherwise decompression (or not) depends on the value of header
  # {Content-Encoding}[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields#content-encoding-response-header]:
  #
  # - <tt>'deflate'</tt>, <tt>'gzip'</tt>, or <tt>'x-gzip'</tt>:
  #   decompresses the body and deletes the header.
  # - <tt>'none'</tt> or <tt>'identity'</tt>:
  #   does not decompress the body, but deletes the header.
  # - Any other value:
  #   leaves the body and header unchanged.
