/**
 * Abstract base class for a Request.
 *
 * Every request defines what happens when one of the following happens:
 * <ul>
 *     <li>
 *         The request is canceled. There may be some cleanup necessary, depending on whether the request has already been
 *         sent to the service or not.
 *     </li>
 *     <li>
 *         On timeout.
 *     </li>
 *     <li>
 *         On reconnect. In particular, every Request has to decide whether it will be kept after a reconnect to the service.
 *     </li>
 *     <li>
 *         On destruction of the request queue. Some request may be important enough to delay the destruction until they have been sent.
 *     </li>
 * </ul>
