Build a request to be pushed.
According section 8.2 of RFC 7540, a promised request must be cacheable and
safe without a request body.

A PushBuilder is obtained by calling HttpServletRequest.newPushBuilder(). Each call to this method will a new instance of a PushBuilder based off the current 
HttpServletRequest, or null. Any mutations to the returned PushBuilder are not reflected on future returns.


The instance is initialized as follows:

 

The path method must be called on the PushBuilder instance before the call to push. Failure to do so must cause an exception to be thrown from push, as specified in that method.


A PushBuilder can be customized by chained calls to mutator methods before the push() method is called to initiate an asynchronous push request with the current state of the builder. After the call to push(), the builder may be reused for another push, however the implementation must make it so the path(String) and conditional headers (defined in RFC 7232) values are cleared before returning from push. All other values are retained over calls to push().

 *
 * <p>The instance is initialized as follows:</p>
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 * <li>The method is initialized to "GET"</li>
 *
 * <li>The existing request headers of the current {@link HttpServletRequest}
 * are added to the builder, except for:

 * <ul>
 *   <li>Conditional headers (defined in RFC 7232)
 *   <li>Range headers
 *   <li>Expect headers
 *   <li>Authorization headers
 *   <li>Referrer headers
 * </ul>
 *

 *
 * <li>If the request was authenticated, an Authorization header will 
 * be set with a container generated token that will result in equivalent
 * Authorization for the pushed request.</li>
 *
 * <li>The session ID will be the value returned from {@link
 * HttpServletRequest#getRequestedSessionId()}, unless {@link
 * HttpServletRequest#getSession(boolean)} has previously been called to
 * create a new {@link HttpSession} prior to the call to create the
 * {@code PushBuilder}, in which case the new session ID will be used as
 * the PushBuilder's requested session ID.  Note that the session ID
 * returned from the request can effectively come from one of two
 * "sources": a cookie or the URL (as specified in {@link
 * HttpServletRequest#isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie} and {@link
 * HttpServletRequest#isRequestedSessionIdFromURL}, respectively).  The
 * session ID for the {@code PushBuilder} will also come from the same
 * source as the request.</li>
 *
 * <li>The Referer(sic) header will be set to {@link
 * HttpServletRequest#getRequestURL()} plus any {@link
 * HttpServletRequest#getQueryString()} </li>
 *
 * <li>If {@link HttpServletResponse#addCookie(Cookie)} has been called
 * on the associated response, then a corresponding Cookie header will be added
 * to the PushBuilder, unless the {@link Cookie#getMaxAge()} is &lt;=0, in which
 * case the Cookie will be removed from the builder.</li>

Push a resource given the current state of the builder,
the method must be non-blocking.

Push a resource based on the current state of the PushBuilder.
Calling this method does not guarantee the resource will actually
be pushed, since it is possible the client can decline acceptance
of the pushed resource using the underlying HTTP/2 protocol.


If the builder has a session ID, then the pushed request will
include the session ID either as a Cookie or as a URI parameter
as appropriate. The builders query string is merged with any
passed query string.


Before returning from this method, the builder has its path,
conditional headers (defined in RFC 7232) nulled. All other fields
are left as is for possible reuse in another push.


Throws:
  • IllegalStateException – if there was no call to path on this instance either between its instantiation or the last call to push() that did not throw an IllegalStateException.
