[PATCH 2/8] http: improve documentation of http_pack_request

From
JTJonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com>
Date
May 29, 2020, 22:30 UTC
Message-ID
<7c66ab1be0722eecf3a7be76921b4c1ef9bb50f2.1590789428.git.jonathantanmy@google.com>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1590789428.git.jonathantanmy@google.com>

struct http_pack_request and the functions that use it will be modified in a subsequent patch. Using it is complicated (to use, call the initialization function, then set some but not all fields in the returned struct), so add some documentation to help future users.
