DESCRIPTION

This object will provide access to the request, which is currently processed. Usually you will only retrieve data from the request, but you may also set it.

To set response parameters you should use Konstrukt::Response.

It's similar to HTTP::Request but without some methods, that are not needed here.

                headers => {
