Overview

Build a Canonical String for a HTTP request.

A Canonical String has the following format:

CanonicalString = HTTP-Verb + “n” +

Content-Type + "\n" +
Content-MD5  + "\n" +
Date         + "\n" +
request-uri;

If the Date header doesn’t exist, one will be generated since Net/HTTP will generate one if it doesn’t exist and it will be used on the server side to do authentication.
