DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Message::Request is a container for HTTP requests as described in RFC 2616.

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 path
  say $req->url->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 $success = $req->extract_start_line(\$string);

Extract request line from string.

fix_headers

  $req = $req->fix_headers;

Make sure request has all required headers.

get_start_line_chunk

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

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

is_secure

  my $success = $req->is_secure;

Check if connection is secure.

is_xhr

  my $success = $req->is_xhr;

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.

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.

  # 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'});

  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;
