---++ ClassMethod *new* <tt>([$initializer])</tt>

Constructs a TWiki::Request object.
   * =$initializer= - may be a filehandle or hashref.
      * If it's a filehandle, it'll be used to reload the TWiki::Request
        object. See =save= method. Note: Restore only parameters
      * It can be a hashref whose keys are parameter names. Values may be 
        arrayref's to multivalued parameters. Same note as above.



---++ ObjectMethod *action* <tt>() -> $action</tt>

Gets/Sets action requested (view, edit, save, ...)



---++ ObjectMethod *method* <tt>([$method]) -> $method</tt>

DEPRECATED. Sets/Gets request method (GET, HEAD, POST). Same as request_method() method.



---++ ObjectMethod *request_method* <tt>([$method]) -> $method</tt>

Sets/Gets request method (GET, HEAD, POST).



---++ ObjectMethod *pathInfo* <tt>([$path]) -> $path</tt>

Sets/Gets request path info.

Called without parameters returns current pathInfo.

There is a =path_info()= alias for compatibility with CGI.



---++ ObjectMethod *protocol* <tt>() -> $protocol</tt>

Returns 'https' if secure connection. 'http' otherwise.



---++ ObjectMethod *uri* <tt>([$uri]) -> $uri</tt>

Gets/Sets request uri.



---++ ObjectMethod *queryString* <tt>() -> $query_string</tt>

Returns query_string part of request uri, if any.

=query_string()= alias provided for compatibility with CGI.



---++ ObjectMethod *url* <tt>([-full=>1,</tt>
                         -base     => 1,
                         -absolute => 1,
                         -relative => 1, 
                         -path     => 1, 
                         -query    => 1] ) -> $url

Returns many url info. 
   * If called without parameters or with -full => 1 returns full url, e.g. 
     http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view
   * If called with -base => 1 returns base url, e.g. http://twiki.org
   * -absolute => 1 returns absolute action path, e.g. /cgi-bin/view
   * -relative => 1 returns relative action path, e.g. view
   * -path => 1, -query => 1 also includes path info and query string
     respectively

Reasonably compatible with CGI corresponding method. Doesn't support
-rewrite. See Item5914.



---++ ObjectMethod *secure* <tt>([$secure]) -> $secure</tt>

Gets/Sets connection's secure flag.



---++ ObjectMethod *remoteAddress* <tt>([$ip]) -> $ip</tt>

Gets/Sets client IP address.

=remote_addr()= alias for compatibility with CGI.



---++ ObjectMethod *remoteUser* <tt>([$userName]) -> $userName</tt>

Gets/Sets remote user's name.

=remote_user()= alias for compatibility with CGI.



---++ ObjectMethod *serverPort* <tt>([$userName]) -> $userName</tt>

Gets/Sets server user's name.

=server_port()= alias for compatibility with CGI.



---++ ObjectMethod *queryParam* <tt>([-name=>$name,-value=>$value|</tt>
                                -name => $name, -values => [ $v1, $v2, ... ] |
                                $name, $v1, $v2, ...                         |
                                name, [ $v1, $v2, ... ]                     
                               ] ) -> @paramNames | @values | $firstValue

This methos is used by engines, during its prepare phase. Should not be used
anywhere else. Since bodyParam must exist and it has different semantics from
param method, this one exists for symmetry, and could be modified in the 
future, so it could be possible to get query and body parameters independently.



---++ ObjectMethod *bodyParam* <tt>([-name=>$name,-value=>$value|</tt>
                               -name => $name, -values => [ $v1, $v2, ... ] |
                               $name, $v1, $v2, ...                         |
                               name, [ $v1, $v2, ... ]                     
                              ] ) -> @paramNames | @values | $firstValue

Adds parameters passed within request body. It keeps previous values,
but places new ones first. Should be called only by engines. Otherwise
use param() method.



---++ ObjectMethod *param* <tt>([-name=>$name,-value=>$value|</tt>
                           -name => $name, -values => [ $v1, $v2, ... ] |
                           $name, $v1, $v2, ...                         |
                           name, [ $v1, $v2, ... ]                     
                           ] ) -> @paramNames | @values | $firstValue

   * Called without parameters returns all parameter names
   * Called only with parameter name or with -name => 'name'
      * In list context returns all associated values (maybe empty list)
      * In scalar context returns first value (maybe undef)
   * Called with name and list of values or with 
     -name => 'name', -value => 'value' or -name => 'name', -values => [ ... ]
     sets parameter value

Resonably compatible with CGI.



---++ ObjectMethod *cookie* <tt>($name[,$value,$path,$secure,$expires]) -> $value</tt>

   * If called  without parameters returns a list of cookie names.
   * If called only with =$name= parameter returns value of cookie 
     with that name or undef if it doesn't exist.
   * If called with defined $value and other  parameters returns a 
     CGI::Cookie  object  created  with those  parameters. Doesn't 
     store this new created cookie within request object. This way 
     for compatibility with CGI.



ObjectMethod cookies( \%cookies ) -> $hashref

Gets/Sets cookies hashref. Keys are cookie names
and values CGI::Cookie objects.


---++ ObjectMethod *delete* <tt>(@paramNames)</tt>

Deletes parameters from request.

=Delete()= alias provided for compatibility with CGI



---++ ObjectMethod *deleteAll* <tt>()</tt>

Deletes all parameter name and value(s).

=delete_all()= alias provided for compatibility with CGI.



---++ ObjectMethod *header* <tt>([-name=>$name,-value=>$value|</tt>
                           -name => $name, -values => [ $v1, $v2, ... ] |
                           $name, $v1, $v2, ...                         |
                           name, [ $v1, $v2, ... ]                     
                           ] ) -> @paramNames | @values | $firstValue

Gets/Sets a header field:
   * Called without parameters returns all header field names
   * Called only with header field name or with -name => 'name'
      * In list context returns all associated values (maybe empty list)
      * In scalar context returns the first value (maybe undef)
   * Called with name and list of values or with 
     -name => 'name', -value => 'value' or -name => 'name', -values => [ ... ]
     sets header field value

*Not compatible with CGI*, since CGI correspondent is a 
response write method. CGI scripts obtain headers from %ENV
or =http= method. %ENV is not available and must be replaced
by calls to this and other methods of this class. =http= is
provided for compatibility, but is deprecated. Use this one
instead.

Calls to CGI =header= method must be replaced by calls to
TWiki::Response =header= method.



---++ ObjectMethod *save* <tt>($fh)</tt>

Saves object state to filehandle. Object may be loaded latter
passing $fh to new constructor or by calling load().



---++ ObjectMethod *load* <tt>($fh)</tt>

Loads object state from filehandle, probably created with
a previous save().



---++ ObjectMethod *upload* <tt>($name) -> $handle</tt>

Called with file name parameter returns an open filehandle
to uploaded file.

   * If called  without parameters returns a list filenames, app trying to upload
    


---++ ObjectMethod *uploadInfo* <tt>($fname) -> $headers</tt>

Returns a hashref to information about uploaded 
files as sent by browser.



---++ ObjectMethod *tmpFileName* <tt>($fname) -> $tmpFileName</tt>

Returns the name of temporarly created file to store uploaded $fname.

$fname may be obtained by calling =param()= with form field name.



---++ ObjectMethod *uploads* <tt>([\%uploads]) -> $hashref</tt>

Gets/Sets request uploads field. Keys are uploaded file names,
as sent by browser, and values are TWiki::Request::Upload objects.



---++ ObjectMethod *http* <tt>([$header]) -> $valueDEPRECATED</tt>

Called without parameters returns a list of all available header filed names.

Given a field name returns value associated.

http('HTTP_USER_AGENT'); http('User-Agent') and http('User_Agent') 
are equivalent.

Please, use =header()= instead. Present only for compatibility with CGI.



---++ ObjectMethod *https* <tt>([$name]) -> $value||$secureDEPRECATED</tt>

Similar to =http()= method above. Called with no parameters returns
secure flag.

Please, use =header()= and =secure()= instead. 
Present only for compatibility with CGI.



---++ ObjectMethod *userAgent* <tt>() -> $userAgent;</tt>

Convenience method to get User-Agent string.

=user_agent()= alias provided for compatibility with CGI.



---++ ObjectMethod *referer* <tt>()</tt>

Convenience method to get Referer uri.
