- com.azure.android.core.http.HttpPipelineBuilder

```
public class HttpPipelineBuilder
extends java.lang.Object
```
This class provides a fluent builder API to help aid the configuration and instantiation of the HttpPipeline, calling build constructs an instance of the pipeline.
A pipeline is configured with a HttpClient that sends the request, if no client is set a default is used. A pipeline may be configured with a list of policies that are applied to each request.

Create a pipeline without configuration
```
 new HttpPipelineBuilder()
     .build();
 
```
Create a pipeline using the default HTTP client and a retry policy
```
 new HttpPipelineBuilder()
     .httpClient(HttpClient.createDefault())
     .policies(new RetryPolicy())
     .build();
 
```
