.. js:function:: HTTPClient.put(httpclient, request)
.. js:function:: HTTPClient.post(httpclient, request)
.. js:function:: HTTPClient.delete(httpclient, request)
Send an HTTP request and wait for a response. GET, HEAD PUT, POST and DELETE methods can be used.
The HTTPClient will send asynchronously the data and is able to send and receive more than an HAProxy bufsize.

:param table request: Is a table containing the parameters of the request that will be send.
:param string request.url: Is a mandatory parameter for the request that contains the URL.
:param string request.body: Is an optional parameter for the request that contains the body to send.
