=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is the Catalyst Request class, which provides an interface to data for the
current client request. The request object is prepared by L<Catalyst::Engine>,
thus hiding the details of the particular engine implementation.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 $req->action
[DEPRECATED] Returns the name of the requested action.
Use C<< $c->action >> instead (which returns a
L<Catalyst::Action|Catalyst::Action> object).
=head2 $req->address
Returns the IP address of the client.
=head2 $req->arguments
Returns a reference to an array containing the arguments.
print $c->request->arguments->[0];
For example, if your action was
package MyApp::C::Foo;
sub moose : Local {
...
}
and the URI for the request was C<http://.../foo/moose/bah>, the string C<bah>
would be the first and only argument.
=head2 $req->args
Shortcut for arguments.
=head2 $req->base
Contains the URI base. This will always have a trailing slash.
If your application was queried with the URI
C<http://localhost:3000/some/path> then C<base> is C<http://localhost:3000/>.
=head2 $req->body
Returns the message body of the request, unless Content-Type is
C<application/x-www-form-urlencoded> or C<multipart/form-data>.
=head2 $req->body_parameters
Returns a reference to a hash containing body (POST) parameters. Values can
be either a scalar or an arrayref containing scalars.
print $c->request->body_parameters->{field};
print $c->request->body_parameters->{field}->[0];
These are the parameters from the POST part of the request, if any.
=head2 $req->body_params
Shortcut for body_parameters.
=head2 $req->content_encoding
Shortcut for $req->headers->content_encoding.
=head2 $req->content_length
Shortcut for $req->headers->content_length.
=head2 $req->content_type
Shortcut for $req->headers->content_type.
=head2 $req->cookie
A convenient method to access $req->cookies.
$cookie = $c->request->cookie('name');
@cookies = $c->request->cookie;
=cut
sub cookie {
my $self = shift;
if ( @_ == 0 ) {
return keys %{ $self->cookies };
}
if ( @_ == 1 ) {
my $name = shift;
unless ( exists $self->cookies->{$name} ) {
return undef;
}
return $self->cookies->{$name};
}
}
=head2 $req->cookies
Returns a reference to a hash containing the cookies.
print $c->request->cookies->{mycookie}->value;
The cookies in the hash are indexed by name, and the values are L<CGI::Cookie>
objects.
=head2 $req->header
Shortcut for $req->headers->header.
=head2 $req->headers
Returns an L<HTTP::Headers> object containing the headers for the current request.
print $c->request->headers->header('X-Catalyst');
=head2 $req->hostname
Returns the hostname of the client.
=head2 $req->input
Alias for $req->body.
=head2 $req->query_keywords
Contains the keywords portion of a query string, when no '=' signs are
present.
http://localhost/path?some+keywords
$c->request->query_keywords will contain 'some keywords'
=head2 $req->match
This contains the matching part of a Regex action. Otherwise
it returns the same as 'action', except for default actions,
which return an empty string.
=head2 $req->method
Contains the request method (C<GET>, C<POST>, C<HEAD>, etc).
=head2 $req->param
Returns GET and POST parameters with a CGI.pm-compatible param method. This
is an alternative method for accessing parameters in $c->req->parameters.
$value = $c->request->param( 'foo' );
@values = $c->request->param( 'foo' );
@params = $c->request->param;
Like L<CGI>, and B<unlike> earlier versions of Catalyst, passing multiple
arguments to this method, like this:
$c->request->param( 'foo', 'bar', 'gorch', 'quxx' );
will set the parameter C<foo> to the multiple values C<bar>, C<gorch> and
C<quxx>. Previously this would have added C<bar> as another value to C<foo>
(creating it if it didn't exist before), and C<quxx> as another value for
C<gorch>.
=cut
sub param {
my $self = shift;
if ( @_ == 0 ) {
return keys %{ $self->parameters };
}
if ( @_ == 1 ) {
my $param = shift;
unless ( exists $self->parameters->{$param} ) {
return wantarray ? () : undef;
}
if ( ref $self->parameters->{$param} eq 'ARRAY' ) {
return (wantarray)
? @{ $self->parameters->{$param} }
: $self->parameters->{$param}->[0];
}
else {
return (wantarray)
? ( $self->parameters->{$param} )
: $self->parameters->{$param};
}
}
elsif ( @_ > 1 ) {
my $field = shift;
$self->parameters->{$field} = [@_];
}
}
=head2 $req->parameters
Returns a reference to a hash containing GET and POST parameters. Values can
be either a scalar or an arrayref containing scalars.
print $c->request->parameters->{field};
print $c->request->parameters->{field}->[0];
This is the combination of C<query_parameters> and C<body_parameters>.
=head2 $req->params
Shortcut for $req->parameters.
=head2 $req->path
Returns the path, i.e. the part of the URI after $req->base, for the current request.
=head2 $req->path_info
Alias for path, added for compability with L<CGI>.
=cut
sub path {
my ( $self, @params ) = @_;
if (@params) {
$self->uri->path(@params);
undef $self->{path};
}
elsif ( defined( my $path = $self->{path} ) ) {
return $path;
}
else {
my $path = $self->uri->path;
my $location = $self->base->path;
$path =~ s/^(\Q$location\E)?//;
$path =~ s/^\///;
$self->{path} = $path;
return $path;
}
}
=head2 $req->protocol
Returns the protocol (HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1) used for the current request.
=head2 $req->query_parameters
=head2 $req->query_params
Returns a reference to a hash containing query string (GET) parameters. Values can
be either a scalar or an arrayref containing scalars.
print $c->request->query_parameters->{field};
print $c->request->query_parameters->{field}->[0];
=head2 $req->read( [$maxlength] )
Reads a chunk of data from the request body. This method is intended to be
used in a while loop, reading $maxlength bytes on every call. $maxlength
defaults to the size of the request if not specified.
You have to set MyApp->config->{parse_on_demand} to use this directly.
=head2 $req->referer
Shortcut for $req->headers->referer. Returns the referring page.
=head2 $req->secure
Returns true or false, indicating whether the connection is secure (https).
=head2 $req->captures
Returns a reference to an array containing regex captures.
my @captures = @{ $c->request->captures };
=head2 $req->snippets
C<captures> used to be called snippets. This is still available for backwoards
compatibility, but is considered deprecated.
=head2 $req->upload
A convenient method to access $req->uploads.
$upload = $c->request->upload('field');
@uploads = $c->request->upload('field');
@fields = $c->request->upload;
for my $upload ( $c->request->upload('field') ) {
print $upload->filename;
}
=cut
sub upload {
my $self = shift;
if ( @_ == 0 ) {
return keys %{ $self->uploads };
}
if ( @_ == 1 ) {
my $upload = shift;
unless ( exists $self->uploads->{$upload} ) {
return wantarray ? () : undef;
}
if ( ref $self->uploads->{$upload} eq 'ARRAY' ) {
return (wantarray)
? @{ $self->uploads->{$upload} }
: $self->uploads->{$upload}->[0];
}
else {
return (wantarray)
? ( $self->uploads->{$upload} )
: $self->uploads->{$upload};
}
}
if ( @_ > 1 ) {
while ( my ( $field, $upload ) = splice( @_, 0, 2 ) ) {
if ( exists $self->uploads->{$field} ) {
for ( $self->uploads->{$field} ) {
$_ = [$_] unless ref($_) eq "ARRAY";
push( @$_, $upload );
}
}
else {
$self->uploads->{$field} = $upload;
}
}
}
}
=head2 $req->uploads
Returns a reference to a hash containing uploads. Values can be either a
L<Catalyst::Request::Upload> object, or an arrayref of
L<Catalyst::Request::Upload> objects.
my $upload = $c->request->uploads->{field};
my $upload = $c->request->uploads->{field}->[0];
=head2 $req->uri
Returns a URI object for the current request. Stringifies to the URI text.
=head2 $req->uri_with( { key => 'value' } );
Returns a rewritten URI object for the current request. Key/value pairs
passed in will override existing parameters. You can remove an existing
parameter by passing in an undef value. Unmodified pairs will be
preserved.
=cut
sub uri_with {
my( $self, $args ) = @_;
carp( 'No arguments passed to uri_with()' ) unless $args;
foreach my $value ( values %$args ) {
next unless defined $value;
for ( ref $value eq 'ARRAY' ? @$value : $value ) {
$_ = "$_";
utf8::encode( $_ ) if utf8::is_utf8($_);
}
};
my $uri = $self->uri->clone;
my %query = ( %{ $uri->query_form_hash }, %$args );
$uri->query_form( {
# remove undef values
map { defined $query{ $_ } ? ( $_ => $query{ $_ } ) : () } keys %query
} );
return $uri;
}
=head2 $req->user
Returns the currently logged in user. Deprecated. The method recommended for
newer plugins is $c->user.
=head2 $req->user_agent
Shortcut to $req->headers->user_agent. Returns the user agent (browser)
version string.
