An instance of this class represents a unique request from a client. For
example, this could be a web request from a browser or from CURL.

An instance of [Puma::Client](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Puma%3A%3AClient/markdown) can be used as if it were an IO object by
the reactor. The reactor is expected to call #to_io on any non-IO
objects it polls. For example, nio4r internally calls [IO::try_convert](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/IO%3A%3Atryconvert/markdown)
(which may call #to_io) when a new socket is registered.

Instances of this class are responsible for knowing if the header and
body are fully buffered via the try_to_finish method. They can be used
to "time out" a response via the timeout_at reader.
