+----
+
+Perform the given request.
+
+This is a general purpose function that should only be
+used when other method-specific functions do not apply.
+
+The behavior of this function varies depending on whether
+a body is provided.
+
+The function `request/4` expects either a content-length
+or content-type header to indicate that a body will be
+sent afterwards. Gun will assume the request has no body
+otherwise. The body can then be sent using
+link:man:gun:data(3)[gun:data(3)].
+
+The function `request/5,6` sends the entire request, including
+the request body, immediately. It is therefore not possible
+to use link:man:gun:data(3)[gun:data(3)] after that. You
+should provide a content-type header. Gun will set the
+content-length header automatically.
+
+== Arguments
+
+ConnPid::
+
+The pid of the Gun connection process.
+
+Method::
+
+Method to be used for the request.
+
+Path::
+
+Path to the resource.
+
+Headers::
+
+Additional request headers.
+
+Body::
+
+Request body.
+
+ReqOpts::
+
+Request options.
+
+== Return value
+
+A reference that identifies the newly created stream is
+returned. It is this reference that must be passed in
+subsequent calls and will be received in messages related
+to this new stream.
+
+== Changelog
+
+* *1.0*: Function introduced.

+== Examples
