org.apache.http.client.methods

## Class RequestBuilder

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.http.client.methods.RequestBuilder

    public class RequestBuilder
    extends Object

Builder for `HttpUriRequest` instances.

Please note that this class treats parameters differently depending on composition of the request: if the request has a content entity explicitly set with `setEntity(org.apache.http.HttpEntity)` or it is not an entity enclosing method (such as POST or PUT), parameters will be added to the query component of the request URI. Otherwise, parameters will be added as a URL encoded `entity`.
