 * class, which sub-classes `RequestOptions`.

/**
 * Subclass of {@link RequestOptions}, with default values.
 *
 * Default values:
 *  * method: {@link RequestMethod RequestMethod.Get}
 *  * headers: empty {@link Headers} object
 *
 * This class could be extended and bound to the {@link RequestOptions} class
 * when configuring an {@link Injector}, in order to override the default options
 * used by {@link Http} to create and send {@link Request Requests}.
 *
 * ### Example ([live demo](http://plnkr.co/edit/LEKVSx?p=preview))
 *
 * ```typescript
 * import {provide} from '@angular/core';
 * import {bootstrap} from '@angular/platform-browser/browser';
 * import {HTTP_PROVIDERS, Http, BaseRequestOptions, RequestOptions} from '@angular/http';

 * class MyOptions extends BaseRequestOptions {
 *   search: string = 'coreTeam=true';
 * }
 *
 * bootstrap(App, [HTTP_PROVIDERS, {provide: RequestOptions, useClass: MyOptions}]);
 * ```
 *
 * The options could also be extended when manually creating a {@link Request}
 * object.
