[docs] class Request: """Represents a client's HTTP request. Note: `Request` is not meant to be instantiated directly by responders. Args: env (dict): A WSGI environment dict passed in from the server. See also PEP-3333. Keyword Arguments: options (dict): Set of global options passed from the App handler. Attributes: env (dict): Reference to the WSGI environ ``dict`` passed in from the server. (See also PEP-3333.) context (object): Empty object to hold any data (in its attributes) about the request which is specific to your app (e.g. session object). Falcon itself will not interact with this attribute after it has been initialized. Note: **New in 2.0:** The default `context_type` (see below) was changed from :class:`dict` to a bare class; the preferred way to pass request-specific data is now to set attributes directly on the `context` object. For example:: req.context.role = 'trial' req.context.user = 'guest' context_type (class): Class variable that determines the factory or type to use for initializing the `context` attribute. By default, the framework will instantiate bare objects (instances of the bare :class:`falcon.Context` class). However, you may override this behavior by creating a custom child class of ``falcon.Request``, and then passing that new class to `falcon.App()` by way of the latter's `request_type` parameter. Note: When overriding `context_type` with a factory function (as opposed to a class), the function is called like a method of the current Request instance. Therefore the first argument is the Request instance itself (self). scheme (str): URL scheme used for the request. Either 'http' or 'https'. Note: If the request was proxied, the scheme may not match what was originally requested by the client. :py:attr:`forwarded_scheme` can be used, instead, to handle such cases. forwarded_scheme (str): Original URL scheme requested by the user agent, if the request was proxied. Typical values are 'http' or 'https'. The following request headers are checked, in order of preference, to determine the forwarded scheme: - ``Forwarded`` - ``X-Forwarded-For`` If none of these headers are available, or if the Forwarded header is available but does not contain a "proto" parameter in the first hop, the value of :attr:`scheme` is returned instead. (See also: RFC 7239, Section 1) method (str): HTTP method requested (e.g., 'GET', 'POST', etc.) host (str): Host request header field forwarded_host (str): Original host request header as received by the first proxy in front of the application server. The following request headers are checked, in order of preference, to determine the forwarded scheme: - ``Forwarded`` - ``X-Forwarded-Host`` If none of the above headers are available, or if the Forwarded header is available but the "host" parameter is not included in the first hop, the value of :attr:`host` is returned instead. Note: Reverse proxies are often configured to set the Host header directly to the one that was originally requested by the user agent; in that case, using :attr:`host` is sufficient. (See also: RFC 7239, Section 4) port (int): Port used for the request. If the Host header is present in the request, but does not specify a port, the default one for the given schema is returned (80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS). If the request does not include a Host header, the listening port for the WSGI server is returned instead. netloc (str): Returns the "host:port" portion of the request URL. The port may be omitted if it is the default one for the URL's schema (80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS). subdomain (str): Leftmost (i.e., most specific) subdomain from the hostname. If only a single domain name is given, `subdomain` will be ``None``. Note: If the hostname in the request is an IP address, the value for `subdomain` is undefined. root_path (str): The initial portion of the request URI's path that corresponds to the application object, so that the application knows its virtual "location". This may be an empty string, if the application corresponds to the "root" of the server. (Corresponds to the "SCRIPT_NAME" environ variable defined by PEP-3333.) app (str): Deprecated alias for :attr:`root_path`. uri (str): The fully-qualified URI for the request. url (str): Alias for :attr:`uri`. forwarded_uri (str): Original URI for proxied requests. Uses :attr:`forwarded_scheme` and :attr:`forwarded_host` in order to reconstruct the original URI requested by the user agent. relative_uri (str): The path and query string portion of the request URI, omitting the scheme and host. prefix (str): The prefix of the request URI, including scheme, host, and WSGI app (if any). forwarded_prefix (str): The prefix of the original URI for proxied requests. Uses :attr:`forwarded_scheme` and :attr:`forwarded_host` in order to reconstruct the original URI. path (str): Path portion of the request URI (not including query string). Warning: If this attribute is to be used by the app for any upstream requests, any non URL-safe characters in the path must be URL encoded back before making the request. Note: ``req.path`` may be set to a new value by a ``process_request()`` middleware method in order to influence routing. If the original request path was URL encoded, it will be decoded before being returned by this attribute. query_string (str): Query string portion of the request URI, without the preceding '?' character. uri_template (str): The template for the route that was matched for this request. May be ``None`` if the request has not yet been routed, as would be the case for ``process_request()`` middleware methods. May also be ``None`` if your app uses a custom routing engine and the engine does not provide the URI template when resolving a route. remote_addr(str): IP address of the closest client or proxy to the WSGI server. This property is determined by the value of ``REMOTE_ADDR`` in the WSGI environment dict. Since this address is not derived from an HTTP header, clients and proxies can not forge it. Note: If your application is behind one or more reverse proxies, you can use :py:attr:`~.access_route` to retrieve the real IP address of the client. access_route(list): IP address of the original client, as well as any known addresses of proxies fronting the WSGI server. The following request headers are checked, in order of preference, to determine the addresses: - ``Forwarded`` - ``X-Forwarded-For`` - ``X-Real-IP`` If none of these headers are available, the value of :py:attr:`~.remote_addr` is used instead. Note: Per `RFC 7239`_, the access route may contain "unknown" and obfuscated identifiers, in addition to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses .. _RFC 7239: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7239 Warning: Headers can be forged by any client or proxy. Use this property with caution and validate all values before using them. Do not rely on the access route to authorize requests. forwarded (list): Value of the Forwarded header, as a parsed list of :class:`falcon.Forwarded` objects, or ``None`` if the header is missing. If the header value is malformed, Falcon will make a best effort to parse what it can. (See also: RFC 7239, Section 4) date (datetime): Value of the Date header, converted to a ``datetime`` instance. The header value is assumed to conform to RFC 1123. auth (str): Value of the Authorization header, or ``None`` if the header is missing. user_agent (str): Value of the User-Agent header, or ``None`` if the header is missing. referer (str): Value of the Referer header, or ``None`` if the header is missing. accept (str): Value of the Accept header, or ``'*/*'`` if the header is missing. client_accepts_json (bool): ``True`` if the Accept header indicates that the client is willing to receive JSON, otherwise ``False``. client_accepts_msgpack (bool): ``True`` if the Accept header indicates that the client is willing to receive MessagePack, otherwise ``False``. client_accepts_xml (bool): ``True`` if the Accept header indicates that the client is willing to receive XML, otherwise ``False``. cookies (dict): A dict of name/value cookie pairs. The returned object should be treated as read-only to avoid unintended side-effects. If a cookie appears more than once in the request, only the first value encountered will be made available here. See also: :meth:`~falcon.Request.get_cookie_values` content_type (str): Value of the Content-Type header, or ``None`` if the header is missing. content_length (int): Value of the Content-Length header converted to an ``int``, or ``None`` if the header is missing. stream: File-like input object for reading the body of the request, if any. This object provides direct access to the server's data stream and is non-seekable. In order to avoid unintended side effects, and to provide maximum flexibility to the application, Falcon itself does not buffer or spool the data in any way. Since this object is provided by the WSGI server itself, rather than by Falcon, it may behave differently depending on how you host your app. For example, attempting to read more bytes than are expected (as determined by the Content-Length header) may or may not block indefinitely. It's a good idea to test your WSGI server to find out how it behaves. This can be particulary problematic when a request body is expected, but none is given. In this case, the following call blocks under certain WSGI servers:: # Blocks if Content-Length is 0 data = req.stream.read() The workaround is fairly straightforward, if verbose:: # If Content-Length happens to be 0, or the header is # missing altogether, this will not block. data = req.stream.read(req.content_length or 0) Alternatively, when passing the stream directly to a consumer, it may be necessary to branch off the value of the Content-Length header:: if req.content_length: doc = json.load(req.stream) For a slight performance cost, you may instead wish to use :py:attr:`bounded_stream`, which wraps the native WSGI input object to normalize its behavior. Note: If an HTML form is POSTed to the API using the *application/x-www-form-urlencoded* media type, and the :py:attr:`~.RequestOptions.auto_parse_form_urlencoded` option is set, the framework will consume `stream` in order to parse the parameters and merge them into the query string parameters. In this case, the stream will be left at EOF. bounded_stream: File-like wrapper around `stream` to normalize certain differences between the native input objects employed by different WSGI servers. In particular, `bounded_stream` is aware of the expected Content-Length of the body, and will never block on out-of-bounds reads, assuming the client does not stall while transmitting the data to the server. For example, the following will not block when Content-Length is 0 or the header is missing altogether:: data = req.bounded_stream.read() This is also safe:: doc = json.load(req.bounded_stream) media (object): Property that acts as an alias for :meth:`~.get_media`. This alias provides backwards-compatibility for apps that were built for versions of the framework prior to 3.0:: # Equivalent to: deserialized_media = req.get_media() deserialized_media = req.media expect (str): Value of the Expect header, or ``None`` if the header is missing. range (tuple of int): A 2-member ``tuple`` parsed from the value of the Range header, or ``None`` if the header is missing. The two members correspond to the first and last byte positions of the requested resource, inclusive. Negative indices indicate offset from the end of the resource, where -1 is the last byte, -2 is the second-to-last byte, and so forth. Only continuous ranges are supported (e.g., "bytes=0-0,-1" would result in an HTTPBadRequest exception when the attribute is accessed.) range_unit (str): Unit of the range parsed from the value of the Range header, or ``None`` if the header is missing if_match (list): Value of the If-Match header, as a parsed list of :class:`falcon.ETag` objects or ``None`` if the header is missing or its value is blank. This property provides a list of all ``entity-tags`` in the header, both strong and weak, in the same order as listed in the header. (See also: RFC 7232, Section 3.1) if_none_match (list): Value of the If-None-Match header, as a parsed list of :class:`falcon.ETag` objects or ``None`` if the header is missing or its value is blank. This property provides a list of all ``entity-tags`` in the header, both strong and weak, in the same order as listed in the header. (See also: RFC 7232, Section 3.2) if_modified_since (datetime): Value of the If-Modified-Since header, or ``None`` if the header is missing. if_unmodified_since (datetime): Value of the If-Unmodified-Since header, or ``None`` if the header is missing. if_range (str): Value of the If-Range header, or ``None`` if the header is missing. headers (dict): Raw HTTP headers from the request with canonical dash-separated names. Parsing all the headers to create this dict is done the first time this attribute is accessed, and the returned object should be treated as read-only. Note that this parsing can be costly, so unless you need all the headers in this format, you should instead use the ``get_header()`` method or one of the convenience attributes to get a value for a specific header. params (dict): The mapping of request query parameter names to their values. Where the parameter appears multiple times in the query string, the value mapped to that parameter key will be a list of all the values in the order seen. options (dict): Set of global options passed from the App handler.

An instance of this class is exposed via :attr:`falcon.App.req_options` and :attr:`falcon.asgi.App.req_options` for configuring certain :class:`~.Request` and :class:`falcon.asgi.Request` behaviors, respectively. Attributes: keep_blank_qs_values (bool): Set to ``False`` to ignore query string params that have missing or blank values (default ``True``). For comma-separated values, this option also determines whether or not empty elements in the parsed list are retained. auto_parse_form_urlencoded: Set to ``True`` in order to automatically consume the request stream and merge the results into the request's query string params when the request's content type is *application/x-www-form-urlencoded* (default ``False``). Enabling this option for WSGI apps makes the form parameters accessible via :attr:`~falcon.Request.params`, :meth:`~falcon.Request.get_param`, etc. Warning: The `auto_parse_form_urlencoded` option is not supported for ASGI apps, and is considered deprecated for WSGI apps as of Falcon 3.0, in favor of accessing URL-encoded forms through :attr:`~Request.media`. See also: :ref:`access_urlencoded_form` Warning: When this option is enabled, the request's body stream will be left at EOF. The original data is not retained by the framework. Note: The character encoding for fields, before percent-encoding non-ASCII bytes, is assumed to be UTF-8. The special `_charset_` field is ignored if present.

When ``False``, values containing commas are left as-is. In this mode, list items are taken only from multiples of the same parameter name within the query string (i.e. ``t=1,2,3&t=4`` becomes ``['1,2,3', '4']``). When `auto_parse_qs_csv` is set to ``True``, the query string value is also split on non-percent-encoded commas and these items are added to the final list (i.e. ``t=1,2,3&t=4,5`` becomes ``['1', '2', '3', '4', '5']``). Warning: Enabling this option will cause the framework to misinterpret any JSON values that include literal (non-percent-encoded) commas. If the query string may include JSON, you can use JSON array syntax in lieu of CSV as a workaround. strip_url_path_trailing_slash: Set to ``True`` in order to strip the trailing slash, if present, at the end of the URL path (default ``False``). When this option is enabled, the URL path is normalized by stripping the trailing slash character. This lets the application define a single route to a resource for a path that may or may not end in a forward slash. However, this behavior can be problematic in certain cases, such as when working with authentication schemes that employ URL-based signatures. default_media_type (str): The default media-type used to deserialize a request body, when the Content-Type header is missing or ambiguous. This value is normally set to the media type provided to the :class:`falcon.App` or :class:`falcon.asgi.App` initializer; however, if created independently, this will default to :attr:`falcon.DEFAULT_MEDIA_TYPE`. media_handlers (Handlers): A dict-like object for configuring the media-types to handle. By default, handlers are provided for the ``application/json``, ``application/x-www-form-urlencoded`` and ``multipart/form-data`` media types.
