public final class HttpPipeline

The HTTP pipeline through which HTTP requests and responses flow.

This class encapsulates the HTTP pipeline that applies a set of HttpPipelinePolicy to the request before it is sent and on the response as it is being returned.

It provides methods to get the policy at a specific index in the pipeline, get the count of policies in the pipeline, get the associated HttpClient, and send the HTTP request through the pipeline.

This class is useful when you want to send an HTTP request and apply a set of policies to the request and response.
