Creates an instance of the HttpClient class.
:new( [<cUri>] ) --> oHttpClientThe class method :new() returns a HttpClient object.
When passing the URI to the :new() method, an instance of the HttpRequestMessage() class is automatically created and assigned to the HTTP client's :httpRequest instance variable. If additional control over the request message and sending the message is required, a developer can create a custom request message instance by passing the URI to the :new() method of the HttpRequestMessage() class. This instance can then be used multiple times with HTTP client objects in :send(), :sendAsync() or :getFile() operations. To gain even more control, developers can subclass from HttpRequestMessage(), spezialize behavior of the class and then pass instances of their own class to the :send() or :sendAsync() method of the HttpClient class.
