DESCRIPTION
Mojo::Message::Request is a container for HTTP requests based on RFC 2616 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616> and RFC 2817 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2817>.

EVENTS
Mojo::Message::Request inherits all events from Mojo::Message.

ATTRIBUTES
Mojo::Message::Request inherits all attributes from Mojo::Message and implements the following new ones.

  env
  my $env = $req->env;
  $req    = $req->env({});

Direct access to the "CGI" or "PSGI" environment hash if available.

  # Check CGI version
  my $version = $req->env->{GATEWAY_INTERFACE};

  # Check PSGI version
  my $version = $req->env->{'psgi.version'};

  method
  my $method = $req->method;
  $req       = $req->method('POST');

HTTP request method, defaults to "GET".

  url
  my $url = $req->url;
  $req    = $req->url(Mojo::URL->new);

HTTP request URL, defaults to a Mojo::URL object.

  # Get request information
  say $req->url->to_abs->userinfo;
  say $req->url->to_abs->host;
  say $req->url->to_abs->path;

METHODS
Mojo::Message::Request inherits all methods from Mojo::Message and implements the following new ones.

  clone
  my $clone = $req->clone;

Clone request if possible, otherwise return "undef".

  cookies
  my $cookies = $req->cookies;
  $req        = $req->cookies(Mojo::Cookie::Request->new);
  $req        = $req->cookies({name => 'foo', value => 'bar'});

Access request cookies, usually Mojo::Cookie::Request objects.

  extract_start_line
  my $bool = $req->extract_start_line(\$str);

Extract request line from string.

  fix_headers
  $req = $req->fix_headers;

Make sure request has all required headers.

  get_start_line_chunk
  my $bytes = $req->get_start_line_chunk($offset);

Get a chunk of request line data starting from a specific position.

  is_secure
  my $bool = $req->is_secure;

Check if connection is secure.

  is_xhr
  my $bool = $req->is_xhr;

Check "X-Requested-With" header for "XMLHttpRequest" value.

  param
  my @names = $req->param;
  my $foo   = $req->param('foo');
  my @foo   = $req->param('foo');

Access GET and POST parameters. Note that this method caches all data, so it should not be called before the entire request body has been received. Parts of the request body need to be loaded into memory to parse POST parameters, so you have to make sure it is not excessively large.

  params
  my $params = $req->params;

All GET and POST parameters, usually a Mojo::Parameters object. Note that this method caches all data, so it should not be called before the entire request body has been received. Parts of the request body need to be loaded into memory to parse POST parameters, so you have to make sure it is not excessively large.

  # Get parameter value
  say $req->params->param('foo');

  parse
  $req = $req->parse('GET /foo/bar HTTP/1.1');
  $req = $req->parse(REQUEST_METHOD => 'GET');
  $req = $req->parse({REQUEST_METHOD => 'GET'});

Parse HTTP request chunks or environment hash.

  proxy
  my $proxy = $req->proxy;
  $req      = $req->proxy('http://foo:bar@127.0.0.1:3000');
  $req      = $req->proxy(Mojo::URL->new('http://127.0.0.1:3000'));

Proxy URL for request.

  # Disable proxy
  $req->proxy(0);

  query_params
  my $params = $req->query_params;

All GET parameters, usually a Mojo::Parameters object.

  # Turn GET parameters to hash and extract value
  say $req->query_params->to_hash->{foo};
