This can cause 2 ResourceRequests to be treated as different when they should be equal e.g. if the 2 ResourceRequests were created with different ctors. We have 2 different ResourceRequestBase actor - one sets the httpMethod to "GET" by default, the other doesn't do anything. By contrast on the CFNetwork side, we always clear out all the fields.
