NAME

       Net::HTTPServer::Request - HTTP request

SYNOPSIS

       Net::HTTPServer::Request handles the parsing of a request.

DESCRIPTION

       Net::HTTPServer::Request takes a full request, parses it, and then provides a nice OOP interface to pulling out the information you want
       from a request.

METHODS

   Cookie([cookie])
       Returns a hash reference of cookie/value pairs.	If you specify a cookie, then it returns the value for that cookie, or undef if it does
       not exist.

   Env([var])
       Returns a hash reference of variable/value pairs.  If you specify a variable, then it returns the value for that variable, or undef if it
       does not exist.

   Header([header])
       Returns a hash reference of header/value pairs.	If you specify a header, then it returns the value for that header, or undef if it does
       not exist.

   Method()
       Returns the method of the request (GET,POST,etc...)

   Path()
       Returns the path portion of the URL.  Does not include any query strings.

   Procotol()
       Returns the name and revision that the request came in with.

   Query()
       Returns the query portion of the URL (if any).  You can combine the Path and the Query with a ? to get the real URL that the client
       requested.

   Request()
       Returns the entire request as a string.

   Response()
       Returns a Net::HTTPServer::Response object with various bits prefilled in.  If you have created session via the Session() method, then the
       session will already be registered with the response.

   Session()
       Create a new Net::HTTPServer::Session object.  If the cookie value is set, then the previous state values are loaded, otherwise a new
       session is started.

   URL()
       Returns the URL of the request.

NAME

       HTTP::Request - HTTP style request message

SYNOPSIS

	require HTTP::Request;
	$request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://www.example.com/');

       and usually used like this:

	$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
	$response = $ua->request($request);

DESCRIPTION

       "HTTP::Request" is a class encapsulating HTTP style requests, consisting of a request line, some headers, and a content body. Note that the
       LWP library uses HTTP style requests even for non-HTTP protocols.  Instances of this class are usually passed to the request() method of an
       "LWP::UserAgent" object.

       "HTTP::Request" is a subclass of "HTTP::Message" and therefore inherits its methods.  The following additional methods are available:

       $r = HTTP::Request->new( $method, $uri )
       $r = HTTP::Request->new( $method, $uri, $header )
       $r = HTTP::Request->new( $method, $uri, $header, $content )
	   Constructs a new "HTTP::Request" object describing a request on the object $uri using method $method.  The $method argument must be a
	   string.  The $uri argument can be either a string, or a reference to a "URI" object.  The optional $header argument should be a
	   reference to an "HTTP::Headers" object or a plain array reference of key/value pairs.  The optional $content argument should be a
	   string of bytes.

       $r = HTTP::Request->parse( $str )
	   This constructs a new request object by parsing the given string.

       $r->method
       $r->method( $val )
	   This is used to get/set the method attribute.  The method should be a short string like "GET", "HEAD", "PUT" or "POST".

       $r->uri
       $r->uri( $val )
	   This is used to get/set the uri attribute.  The $val can be a reference to a URI object or a plain string.  If a string is given, then
	   it should be parseable as an absolute URI.

       $r->header( $field )
       $r->header( $field => $value )
	   This is used to get/set header values and it is inherited from "HTTP::Headers" via "HTTP::Message".	See HTTP::Headers for details and
	   other similar methods that can be used to access the headers.

       $r->accept_decodable
	   This will set the "Accept-Encoding" header to the list of encodings that decoded_content() can decode.

       $r->content
       $r->content( $bytes )
	   This is used to get/set the content and it is inherited from the "HTTP::Message" base class.  See HTTP::Message for details and other
	   methods that can be used to access the content.

	   Note that the content should be a string of bytes.  Strings in perl can contain characters outside the range of a byte.  The "Encode"
	   module can be used to turn such strings into a string of bytes.

       $r->as_string
       $r->as_string( $eol )
	   Method returning a textual representation of the request.
