WSRequest (Play 2.5.18)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AhcWSRequest
```
public interface WSRequest
```
This is the main interface to building a WS request in Java.
Note that this interface does not expose properties that are only exposed after building the request: notably, the URL, headers and query parameters are shown before an OAuth signature is calculated.
