[docs]class Request(object):
"""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.
options (dict): Set of global options passed from the API handler.
Attributes:
protocol (str): Either 'http' or 'https'.
method (str): HTTP method requested (e.g., 'GET', 'POST', etc.)
host (str): Hostname requested by the client
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.
user_agent (str): Value of the User-Agent header, or ``None`` if the
header is missing.
app (str): Name of the WSGI app (if using WSGI's notion of virtual
hosting).
env (dict): Reference to the WSGI environ ``dict`` passed in from the
server. See also PEP-3333.
context (dict): Dictionary to hold any data 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.
context_type (class): Class variable that determines the
factory or type to use for initializing the
`context` attribute. By default, the framework will
instantiate standard
``dict`` objects. However, You may override this behavior
by creating a custom child class of ``falcon.Request``, and
then passing that new class to `falcon.API()` by way of the
latter's `request_type` parameter.
uri (str): The fully-qualified URI for the request.
url (str): alias for `uri`.
relative_uri (str): The path + query string portion of the full URI.
path (str): Path portion of the request URL (not including query
string).
query_string (str): Query string portion of the request URL, without
the preceding '?' character.
accept (str): Value of the Accept header, or '*/*' if the header is
missing.
auth (str): Value of the Authorization header, or ``None`` 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``.
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 object for reading the body of the request, if any.
Note:
If an HTML form is POSTed to the API using the
*application/x-www-form-urlencoded* media type, Falcon
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.
Note also that 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.
Falcon expects form-encoded request bodies to be
encoded according to the standard W3C algorithm (see
also http://goo.gl/6rlcux).
date (datetime): Value of the Date header, converted to a
``datetime`` instance. The header value is assumed to
conform to RFC 1123.
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.
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 continous ranges are supported (e.g., "bytes=0-0,-1" would
result in an HTTPBadRequest exception when the attribute is
accessed.)
if_match (str): Value of the If-Match header, or ``None`` if the
header is missing.
if_none_match (str): Value of the If-None-Match header, or ``None``
if the header is missing.
if_modified_since (str): Value of the If-Modified-Since header, or
``None`` if the header is missing.
if_unmodified_since (str): Value of the If-Unmodified-Sinc 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. This parsing can be costly, so unless you
need all the headers in this format, you should use the
`get_header` method or one of the convenience attributes
instead, 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 API handler.
