Builds a push request based on the HttpServletRequest from which this builder was obtained. The push request will be constructed on the following basis: 
    

  • The request method is set to GET.
    • 

  • The path will not be set. This must be set explicitly via a call to path(String).
    • 

  • Conditional, range, expectation, authorization and referer headers will
    be removed.
    • 

  • Cookies added to the associated response will be added to the push
    request unless maxAge <= 0 in which case any request cookie with the
    same name will be removed.
    • 

  • The referer header will be set to HttpServletRequest.getRequestURL() plus, if present, the query string from HttpServletRequest.getQueryString().
