DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Message::Request is a container for HTTP requests based on RFC 7230, RFC 7231, RFC 7235 and RFC 2817.

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
  my $info = $req->url->to_abs->userinfo;
  my $host = $req->url->to_abs->host;
  my $path = $req->url->to_abs->path;

reverse_proxy

  my $bool = $req->reverse_proxy;
  $req     = $req->reverse_proxy($bool);

Request has been performed through a reverse proxy.

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.

  # Names of all cookies
  say $_->name for @{$req->cookies};

every_param

  my $values = $req->every_param('foo');

Similar to "param", but returns all values sharing the same name as an array reference.

  # Get first value
  say $req->every_param('foo')->[0];

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_handshake

  my $bool = $req->is_handshake;

Check Upgrade header for websocket value.

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 $value = $req->param('foo');

Access GET and POST parameters extracted from the query string and application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data message body. If there are multiple values sharing the same name, and you want to access more than just the last one, you can use "every_param". 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, there's a 16MB limit by default.

params

  my $params = $req->params;

All GET and POST parameters extracted from the query string and application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data message body, 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, there's a 16MB limit by default.

  # Get parameter names and values
  my $hash = $req->params->to_hash;

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};
