DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Message::Request is a container for HTTP requests as described in RFC 2616 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
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 $success = $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 $success = $req->is_secure;

Check if connection is secure.

is_xhr

my $success = $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};
