DESCRIPTION

    Dendral::HTTP::Request is a part of Dendral - fast, reliable and lightweight MVC framework.

    This module is very similar to well-known Apache::Request.

METHODS

new - Constructor

    Create a new Dendral::HTTP::Request object with an Apache request_rec object:

    my $req = new Dendral::HTTP::Request($r, POST_MAX      => -1,
                                             MAX_FILES     => -1,
                                             MAX_FILE_SIZE => -1,
                                             TMP_DIR       => '/tmp');

    MAX_POST, POST_MAX - Limit of POST request size, bytes; -1 means no limit, 0 - POST method is disabled.

    TMP_DIR, TEMP_DIR, TEMPFILE_DIR - Directory where upload files are spooled, default is /tmp.

    MAX_FILES - Limit of number of files; -1 means no limit, 0 - uploading of files is disabled.

    MAX_FILE_SIZE - Uploaded file size limit, bytes; -1 means no limit, 0 - uploading of files is disabled.

    DIE_ON_ERRORS - If set, module should die if any error occured.

param - Get request parameter(s)

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

params - Get all request parameters

    my $all_params_hashref = $req -> params();
    my $bar_cookie = $req -> cookie('bar');
    my @bar_cookie = $req -> cookie('bar');
    my $all_cookies_hashref = $req -> cookie();

cookies - Get all request cookies

    my $all_cookies_hashref = $req -> cookies();

header - Get request header(s)

    my $accept_header = $req -> header('Accept');
    my @accept_header = $req -> header('Accept');
    my $all_headers_hashref = $req -> header();

headers - Get all request headers

    my $all_headers_hashref = $req -> headers();

port - Get server port

    my $port = $req -> port();

host - Get server host, as set by full URI or Host

    my $host = $req -> host();

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

args - Get query string arguments

    my $query_string_args = $req -> args();

path_info - Path part

    my $path_info = $req -> path_info();

filename - filename if found, otherwise undef

    my $filename = $req -> filename();

uri - the path portion of the URI

    my $uri = $req -> uri();

unparsed_uri - The URI without any parsing performed

    my $unparsed_uri = $req -> unparsed_uri();

the_request - First line of request

    my $the_request = $req -> the_request();

request_time - Time, when the request started

    my $request_time = $req -> request_time();

local_ip - Get local (server) IP address

    my $local_ip = $req -> local_ip();

remote_ip - Get remote IP address

    my $remote_ip = $req -> remote_ip();

raw - Get raw request data

    my $raw_post_data = $req -> raw();

file - Get uploaded file(s) info by input name.

    my $file = $req -> file('upload_file');
    my @files = $req -> file();

    my $file_name      = $file -> {'file_name'};
    my $tmp_name       = $file -> {'tmp_name'};
    my $full_filename  = $file -> {'full_filename'};
    my $filesize       = $file -> {'filesize'};
    my $content_type   = $file -> {'content_type'};
    my $content_tr_enc = $file -> {'content_transfer_encoding'};
