  - execute
```
public HttpResponse execute()
                     throws IOException
```
    Execute the HTTP request and returns the HTTP response.
    Note that regardless of the returned status code, the HTTP response content has not been parsed yet, and must be parsed by the calling code.
    
    Note that when calling to this method twice or more, the state of this HTTP request object isn't cleared, so the request will continue where it was left. For example, the state of the HttpUnsuccessfulResponseHandler attached to this HTTP request will remain the same as it was left after last execute.
    
    Almost all details of the request and response are logged if Level.CONFIG is loggable. The only exception is the value of the Authorization header which is only logged if Level.ALL is loggable.
    
    Callers should call HttpResponse.disconnect() when the returned HTTP response object is no longer needed. However, HttpResponse.disconnect() does not have to be called if the response stream is properly closed. Example usage:
```
     HttpResponse response = request.execute();
     try {
       // process the HTTP response object
     } finally {
       response.disconnect();
     }
 
```
    Returns:
    
    HTTP response for an HTTP success response (or HTTP error response if getThrowExceptionOnExecuteError() is false)
    
    Throws:
    
    HttpResponseException - for an HTTP error response (only if getThrowExceptionOnExecuteError() is true)
    
    IOException

    executor - executor to run the asynchronous request
    
    Returns:
    
    future for accessing the HTTP response

@Beta
public Future<HttpResponse> executeAsync()
```
    Beta
    Executes this request asynchronously using executeAsync(Executor) in a single separate thread using Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor().
    
    Returns:
    
    A future for accessing the results of the asynchronous request.
    
    Since:
    
    1.13
  - handleRedirect
```
public boolean handleRedirect(int statusCode,
                              HttpHeaders responseHeaders)
```
    Sets up this request object to handle the necessary redirect if redirects are turned on, it is a redirect status code and the header has a location.
    When the status code is 303 the method on the request is changed to a GET as per the RFC2616 specification. On a redirect, it also removes the "Authorization" and all "If-*" request headers.
    
    Upgrade warning: When handling a status code of 303, handleRedirect(int, HttpHeaders) now correctly removes any content from the body of the new request, as GET requests should not have content. It did not do this in prior version 1.16.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the redirect was successful
    
    Since:
    
    1.11
  - getSleeper
```
public Sleeper getSleeper()
```
    Returns the sleeper.
    
    Since:
    
    1.15

```
    Sets the sleeper. The default value is Sleeper.DEFAULT.
