Return the request fingerprint.
The request fingerprint is a hash that uniquely identifies the resource the
request points to. For example, take the following two urls:
http://www.example.com/query?id=111&cat=222
http://www.example.com/query?cat=222&id=111
Even though those are two different URLs both point to the same resource
and are equivalent (i.e. they should return the same response).
Another example are cookies used to store session ids. Suppose the
following page is only accessible to authenticated users:
http://www.example.com/members/offers.html
Lot of sites use a cookie to store the session id, which adds a random
component to the HTTP Request and thus should be ignored when calculating
the fingerprint.
For this reason, request headers are ignored by default when calculating
the fingerprint. If you want to include specific headers use the
include_headers argument, which is a list of Request headers to include.
Also, servers usually ignore fragments in urls when handling requests,
so they are also ignored by default when calculating the fingerprint.
If you want to include them, set the keep_fragments argument to True
(for instance when handling requests with a headless browser).
