// `HttpRule` defines the mapping of an RPC method to one or more HTTP
// REST API methods. The mapping specifies how different portions of the RPC
// request message are mapped to URL path, URL query parameters, and
// HTTP request body. The mapping is typically specified as an
// `google.api.http` annotation on the RPC method,
// see "google/api/annotations.proto" for details.
//
// The mapping consists of a field specifying the path template and
// method kind.  The path template can refer to fields in the request
// message, as in the example below which describes a REST GET
// operation on a resource collection of messages:
//
//
//     service Messaging {
//       rpc GetMessage(GetMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
//         option (google.api.http).get = "/v1/messages/{message_id}/{sub.subfield}";
//       }
//     }
//     message GetMessageRequest {
//       message SubMessage {
//         string subfield = 1;
//       }
//       string message_id = 1; // mapped to the URL
//       SubMessage sub = 2;    // `sub.subfield` is url-mapped
//     }
//     message Message {
//       string text = 1; // content of the resource
//     }
//
// The same http annotation can alternatively be expressed inside the
// `GRPC API Configuration` YAML file.
//
//     http:
//       rules:
//         - selector: <proto_package_name>.Messaging.GetMessage
//           get: /v1/messages/{message_id}/{sub.subfield}
//
// This definition enables an automatic, bidrectional mapping of HTTP
// JSON to RPC. Example:
//
// HTTP | RPC
// -----|-----
// `GET /v1/messages/123456/foo`  | `GetMessage(message_id: "123456" sub: SubMessage(subfield: "foo"))`
//
// In general, not only fields but also field paths can be referenced
// from a path pattern. Fields mapped to the path pattern cannot be
// repeated and must have a primitive (non-message) type.
//
// Any fields in the request message which are not bound by the path
// pattern automatically become (optional) HTTP query
// parameters. Assume the following definition of the request message:
//
//
//     service Messaging {
//       rpc GetMessage(GetMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
//         option (google.api.http).get = "/v1/messages/{message_id}";
//       }
//     }
//     message GetMessageRequest {
//       message SubMessage {
//         string subfield = 1;
//       }
//       string message_id = 1; // mapped to the URL
//       int64 revision = 2;    // becomes a parameter
//       SubMessage sub = 3;    // `sub.subfield` becomes a parameter
//     }
//
//
// This enables a HTTP JSON to RPC mapping as below:
//
// HTTP | RPC
// -----|-----
// `GET /v1/messages/123456?revision=2&sub.subfield=foo` | `GetMessage(message_id: "123456" revision: 2 sub: SubMessage(subfield: "foo"))`
//
// Note that fields which are mapped to HTTP parameters must have a
// primitive type or a repeated primitive type. Message types are not
// allowed. In the case of a repeated type, the parameter can be
// repeated in the URL, as in `...?param=A&param=B`.
//
// For HTTP method kinds which allow a request body, the `body` field
// specifies the mapping. Consider a REST update method on the
// message resource collection:
//
//
//     service Messaging {
//       rpc UpdateMessage(UpdateMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
//         option (google.api.http) = {
//           put: "/v1/messages/{message_id}"
//           body: "message"
//         };
//       }
//     }
//     message UpdateMessageRequest {
//       string message_id = 1; // mapped to the URL
//       Message message = 2;   // mapped to the body
//     }
//
//
// The following HTTP JSON to RPC mapping is enabled, where the
// representation of the JSON in the request body is determined by
// protos JSON encoding:
//
// HTTP | RPC
// -----|-----
// `PUT /v1/messages/123456 { "text": "Hi!" }` | `UpdateMessage(message_id: "123456" message { text: "Hi!" })`
//
// The special name `*` can be used in the body mapping to define that
// every field not bound by the path template should be mapped to the
// request body.  This enables the following alternative definition of
// the update method:
//
//     service Messaging {
//       rpc UpdateMessage(Message) returns (Message) {
//         option (google.api.http) = {
//           put: "/v1/messages/{message_id}"
//           body: "*"
//         };
//       }
//     }
//     message Message {
//       string message_id = 1;
//       string text = 2;
//     }
//
//
// The following HTTP JSON to RPC mapping is enabled:
//
// HTTP | RPC
// -----|-----
// `PUT /v1/messages/123456 { "text": "Hi!" }` | `UpdateMessage(message_id: "123456" text: "Hi!")`
//
// Note that when using `*` in the body mapping, it is not possible to
// have HTTP parameters, as all fields not bound by the path end in
// the body. This makes this option more rarely used in practice of
// defining REST APIs. The common usage of `*` is in custom methods
// which don't use the URL at all for transferring data.
//
// It is possible to define multiple HTTP methods for one RPC by using
// the `additional_bindings` option. Example:
//
//     service Messaging {
//       rpc GetMessage(GetMessageRequest) returns (Message) {
//         option (google.api.http) = {
//           get: "/v1/messages/{message_id}"
//           additional_bindings {
//             get: "/v1/users/{user_id}/messages/{message_id}"
//           }
//         };
//       }
//     }
//     message GetMessageRequest {
//       string message_id = 1;
//       string user_id = 2;
//     }
//
//
// This enables the following two alternative HTTP JSON to RPC
// mappings:
//
// HTTP | RPC
// -----|-----
// `GET /v1/messages/123456` | `GetMessage(message_id: "123456")`
// `GET /v1/users/me/messages/123456` | `GetMessage(user_id: "me" message_id: "123456")`
//
// # Rules for HTTP mapping
//
// The rules for mapping HTTP path, query parameters, and body fields
// to the request message are as follows:
//
// 1. The `body` field specifies either `*` or a field path, or is
//    omitted. If omitted, it indicates there is no HTTP request body.
// 2. Leaf fields (recursive expansion of nested messages in the
//    request) can be classified into three types:
//     (a) Matched in the URL template.
//     (b) Covered by body (if body is `*`, everything except (a) fields;
//         else everything under the body field)
//     (c) All other fields.
// 3. URL query parameters found in the HTTP request are mapped to (c) fields.
// 4. Any body sent with an HTTP request can contain only (b) fields.
//
// The syntax of the path template is as follows:
//
//     Template = "/" Segments [ Verb ] ;
//     Segments = Segment { "/" Segment } ;
//     Segment  = "*" | "**" | LITERAL | Variable ;
//     Variable = "{" FieldPath [ "=" Segments ] "}" ;
//     FieldPath = IDENT { "." IDENT } ;
//     Verb     = ":" LITERAL ;
//
// The syntax `*` matches a single path segment. The syntax `**` matches zero
// or more path segments, which must be the last part of the path except the
// `Verb`. The syntax `LITERAL` matches literal text in the path.
//
// The syntax `Variable` matches part of the URL path as specified by its
// template. A variable template must not contain other variables. If a variable
// matches a single path segment, its template may be omitted, e.g. `{var}`
// is equivalent to `{var=*}`.
//
// If a variable contains exactly one path segment, such as `"{var}"` or
// `"{var=*}"`, when such a variable is expanded into a URL path, all characters
// except `[-_.~0-9a-zA-Z]` are percent-encoded. Such variables show up in the
// Discovery Document as `{var}`.
//
// If a variable contains one or more path segments, such as `"{var=foo/*}"`
// or `"{var=**}"`, when such a variable is expanded into a URL path, all
// characters except `[-_.~/0-9a-zA-Z]` are percent-encoded. Such variables
// show up in the Discovery Document as `{+var}`.
//
// NOTE: While the single segment variable matches the semantics of
// [RFC 6570](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570) Section 3.2.2
// Simple String Expansion, the multi segment variable **does not** match
// RFC 6570 Reserved Expansion. The reason is that the Reserved Expansion
// does not expand special characters like `?` and `#`, which would lead
// to invalid URLs.
//
// NOTE: the field paths in variables and in the `body` must not refer to
// repeated fields or map fields.
