// `HttpRule` defines the mapping of an RPC method to one or more HTTP REST API
// methods. The mapping determines what portions of the request message are
// populated from the path, query parameters, or body of the HTTP request.  The
// mapping is typically specified as an `google.api.http` annotation, see
// "google/api/annotations.proto" for details.
//
// The mapping consists of a mandatory field specifying a path template and an
// optional `body` field specifying what data is represented in the HTTP request
// body. The field name for the path indicates the HTTP method. Example:
//
// ```
// package google.storage.v2;
//
// import "google/api/annotations.proto";
//
// service Storage {
//   rpc CreateObject(CreateObjectRequest) returns (Object) {
//     option (google.api.http) {
//       post: "/v2/{bucket_name=buckets/*}/objects"
//       body: "object"
//     };
//   };
// }
// ```
//
// Here `bucket_name` and `object` bind to fields of the request message
// `CreateObjectRequest`.
//
// 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 assumes there is no HTTP 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 ;
//
// `*` matches a single path component, `**` zero or more path components, and
// `LITERAL` a constant.  A `Variable` can match an entire path as specified
// again by a template; this nested template must not contain further variables.
// If no template is given with a variable, it matches a single path component.
// The notation `{var}` is henceforth equivalent to `{var=*}`.
//
// Use CustomHttpPattern to specify any HTTP method that is not included in the
// pattern field, such as HEAD, or "*" to leave the HTTP method unspecified for
// a given URL path rule. The wild-card rule is useful for services that provide
// content to Web (HTML) clients.
