HTTP request.
The task will be pushed to the worker as an HTTP request. If the worker
or the redirected worker acknowledges the task by returning a successful HTTP
response code ([200 - 299]), the task will be removed from the queue. If
any other HTTP response code is returned or no response is received, the
task will be retried according to the following:
User-specified throttling: retry configuration,
rate limits, and the queue's state.
System throttling: To prevent the worker from overloading, Cloud Tasks may
temporarily reduce the queue's effective rate. User-specified settings
will not be changed.
System throttling happens because:
Cloud Tasks backs off on all errors. Normally the backoff specified in
rate limits will be used. But if the worker returns
429 (Too Many Requests), 503 (Service Unavailable), or the rate of
errors is high, Cloud Tasks will use a higher backoff rate. The retry
specified in the Retry-After HTTP response header is considered.
To prevent traffic spikes and to smooth sudden increases in traffic,
dispatches ramp up slowly when the queue is newly created or idle and
if large numbers of tasks suddenly become available to dispatch (due to
spikes in create task rates, the queue being unpaused, or many tasks
that are scheduled at the same time).
Protobuf type google.cloud.tasks.v2beta3.HttpRequest
HTTP request headers.
This map contains the header field names and values.
Headers can be set when the
task is created.
These headers represent a subset of the headers that will accompany the
task's HTTP request. Some HTTP request headers will be ignored or replaced.
A partial list of headers that will be ignored or replaced is:
Host: This will be computed by Cloud Tasks and derived from
HttpRequest.url.
Content-Length: This will be computed by Cloud Tasks.
User-Agent: This will be set to "Google-Cloud-Tasks".
X-Google-*: Google use only.
X-AppEngine-*: Google use only.
Content-Type won't be set by Cloud Tasks. You can explicitly set
Content-Type to a media type when the
task is created.
For example, Content-Type can be set to "application/octet-stream" or
"application/json".
Headers which can have multiple values (according to RFC2616) can be
specified using comma-separated values.
The size of the headers must be less than 80KB.
HTTP request body.
A request body is allowed only if the
HTTP method is POST, PUT, or PATCH. It is an
error to set body on a task with an incompatible HttpMethod.

Required. The full url path that the request will be sent to.
This string must begin with either "http://" or "https://". Some examples
are: http://acme.com and https://acme.com/sales:8080. Cloud Tasks will
encode some characters for safety and compatibility. The maximum allowed
URL length is 2083 characters after encoding.
The Location header response from a redirect response [300 - 399]
may be followed. The redirect is not counted as a separate attempt.
