Interface HttpRequest

Semantic request context. It describes app intent, not direct header effects.

Friendly name for the request, sent as x-fb-friendly-name header.

Compress the request body with gzip. transport should handle compression and set the Content-Encoding header.

The navigation wire values taken once, when the builder constructed the request. The body/query fields come from the same snapshot, and the header materializer renders navigation headers from it, so a navigation event between building and sending cannot make the body and headers disagree. Absent for requests built outside a brick: the materializer then reads the current wire once.
