# Net::HTTPServer::Request(3pm)

HTTP request

## 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.
