# Parse

$req->parse("GET /foo HTTP/1.0\x0d\x0a");
$req->parse("Content-Length: 12\x0d\x0a");
$req->parse("Content-Type: text/plain\x0d\x0a\x0d\x0a");
$req->parse('Hello World!');

say $req->headers->content_type;
say $req->body;

# Build
my $req = Mojo::Message::Request->new;
$req->url->parse('http://127.0.0.1/foo/bar');
$req->method('GET');
say $req->to_string;

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({PATH_INFO => '/'});

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.

proxy

my $url = $req->proxy;
$req    = $req->proxy(Mojo::URL->new('http://127.0.0.1:3000'));

Proxy URL for request.

reverse_proxy

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

Request has been performed through a reverse proxy.

trusted_proxies

my $proxies = $req->trusted_proxies;
$req        = $req->trusted_proxies(['10.0.0.0/8', '127.0.0.1', '172.16.0.0/12', '192.168.0.0/16', 'fc00::/7']);

Trusted reverse proxies, addresses or networks in CIDR form.

request_id

my $id = $req->request_id;
$req   = $req->request_id('aee7d5d8');

Request ID, defaults to a reasonably unique value.

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;

via_proxy

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

Request can be performed through a proxy server.

METHODS

Mojo::Message::Request inherits all methods from Mojo::Message and implements the following new ones.

clone

my $clone = $req->clone;

Return a new Mojo::Message::Request object cloned from this 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. Note that this method finalizes the request.

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 16MiB limit for requests 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 16MiB limit for requests 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({PATH_INFO => '/'});

Parse HTTP request chunks or environment hash.

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};

start_line_size

my $size = $req->start_line_size;

Size of the request-line in bytes. Note that this method finalizes the request.
