Description:

        '''Persist the request metadata in self._vcr_request'''
        self._vcr_request = Request(

            headers=headers or {}
        )
        log.debug('Got {}'.format(self._vcr_request))

        # Note: The request may not actually be finished at this point, so
        # I'm not sending the actual request until getresponse().  This
        # allows me to compare the entire length of the response to see if it
        # exists in the cassette.
