- Method Detail
  - unwrap
```
public abstract java.lang.Object unwrap()
```
    Returns the underlying http request object. Ex. org.apache.http.HttpRequest
    Note: Some implementations are composed of multiple types, such as a request and a socket address of the client. Moreover, an implementation may change the type returned due to refactoring. Unless you control the implementation, cast carefully (ex using instance of) instead of presuming a specific type will always be returned.
