The URLRequest initializer was using a mutable object ({}) for its
default value of its headers parameter, which would persist to other
requests if it was modified. We now use a default value of None and
change it to an empty dict in the method call.

Documentation has been added for the class and its methods.

Built the docs and read through them.
Ran unit tests.
