#' Perform a request to get a response
#'
#' @description
#' After preparing a [request], call `req_perform()` to perform it, fetching
#' the results back to R as a [response].
#'
#' The default HTTP method is `GET` unless a body (set by [req_body_json] and
#' friends) is present, in which case it will be `POST`. You can override
#' these defaults with [req_method()].
#'
#' # Requests
#' Note that one call to `req_perform()` may perform multiple HTTP requests:
#'
#' * If the `url` is redirected with a 301, 302, 303, or 307, curl will
#'   automatically follow the `Location` header to the new location.
#'
#' * If you have configured retries with [req_retry()] and the request
#'   fails with a transient problem, `req_perform()` will try again after
#'   waiting a bit. See [req_retry()] for details.
#'
#' * If you are using OAuth, and the cached token has expired, `req_perform()`
#'   will get a new token either using the refresh token (if available)
#'   or by running the OAuth flow.
#'
#' # Progress bar
#'
#' `req_perform()` will automatically add a progress bar if it needs to wait
#' between requests for [req_throttle()] or [req_retry()]. You can turn the
#' progress bar off (and just show the total time to wait) by setting
#' `options(httr2_progress = FALSE)`.
#'
#' @param req A httr2 [request] object.
#' @param path Optionally, path to save body of the response. This is useful
#'   for large responses since it avoids storing the response in memory.
#' @param mock A mocking function. If supplied, this function is called
#'   with the request. It should return either `NULL` (if it doesn't want to
#'   handle the request) or a [response] (if it does). See [with_mock()]/
#'   `local_mock()` for more details.
#' @param verbosity How much information to print? This is a wrapper
#'   around [req_verbose()] that uses an integer to control verbosity:
#'
#'   * `0`: no output
#'   * `1`: show headers
#'   * `2`: show headers and bodies
#'   * `3`: show headers, bodies, and curl status messages.
#'
#'   Use [with_verbosity()] to control the verbosity of requests that
#'   you can't affect directly.
#' @inheritParams rlang::args_error_context
#' @returns
#'   * If the HTTP request succeeds, and the status code is ok (e.g. 200),
#'     an HTTP [response].
#'
#'   * If the HTTP request succeeds, but the status code is an error
#'     (e.g a 404), an error with class `c("httr2_http_404", "httr2_http")`.
#'     By default, all 400 and 500 status codes will be treated as an error,
#'     but you can customise this with [req_error()].
#'
#'   * If the HTTP request fails (e.g. the connection is dropped or the
#'     server doesn't exist), an error with class `"httr2_failure"`.
#' @export
#' @seealso [req_perform_parallel()] to perform multiple requests in parallel.
#'   [req_perform_iterative()] to perform multiple requests iteratively.
