    public class Request

extends Object
implements HttpServletRequest

Jetty Request.

Implements `HttpServletRequest` from the `javax.servlet` package.

The standard interface of mostly getters, is extended with setters so that the request is mutable by the handlers that it is passed to. This allows the request object to be as lightweight as possible and not actually implement any significant behaviour. For example

- The `getContextPath` method will return null, until the requeset has been passed to a `ContextHandler` which matches the `getPathInfo` with a context path and calls `setContextPath` as a result.
- the HTTP session methods will all return null sessions until such time as a request has been passed to a `SessionHandler` which checks for session cookies and enables the ability to create new sessions.
- The `getServletPath` method will return null until the request has been passed to a `ServletHandler` and the pathInfo matched against the servlet URL patterns and `setServletPath` called as a result.

A request instance is created for each `HttpConnection` accepted by the server and recycled for each HTTP request received via that connection. An effort is made to avoid reparsing headers and cookies that are likely to be the same for requests from the same connection.

### getAttribute

    public Object getAttribute(String name)

  Description copied from interface: `ServletRequest`
  Returns the value of the named attribute as an `Object`, or `null` if no attribute of the given name exists.

  Attributes can be set two ways. The servlet container may set attributes to make available custom information about a request. For example, for requests made using HTTPS, the attribute `javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate` can be used to retrieve information on the certificate of the client. Attributes can also be set programatically using `ServletRequest.setAttribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object)`. This allows information to be embedded into a request before a `RequestDispatcher` call.

  Attribute names should follow the same conventions as package names. This specification reserves names matching `java.*`, `javax.*`, and `sun.*`.

  Specified by:
    `getAttribute` in interface `ServletRequest`
  Parameters:
    `name` - a `String` specifying the name of the attribute
  Returns:
    an `Object` containing the value of the attribute, or `null` if the attribute does not exist

### getAttributeNames

    public Enumeration getAttributeNames()

  Description copied from interface: `ServletRequest`
  Returns an `Enumeration` containing the names of the attributes available to this request. This method returns an empty `Enumeration` if the request has no attributes available to it.

  Specified by:
    `getAttributeNames` in interface `ServletRequest`
  Returns:
    an `Enumeration` of strings containing the names of the request's attributes

### getAuthType

    public String getAuthType()

  Description copied from interface: `HttpServletRequest`
  Returns the name of the authentication scheme used to protect the servlet. All servlet containers support basic, form and client certificate authentication, and may additionally support digest authentication. If the servlet is not authenticated `null` is returned.

  Same as the value of the CGI variable AUTH_TYPE.

  Specified by:
    `getAuthType` in interface `HttpServletRequest`
  Returns:
    one of the static members BASIC_AUTH, FORM_AUTH, CLIENT_CERT_AUTH, DIGEST_AUTH (suitable for == comparison) or the container-specific string indicating the authentication scheme, or `null` if the request was not authenticated.

### getCharacterEncoding

    public String getCharacterEncoding()

  Description copied from interface: `ServletRequest`

    a `String` containing the name of the character encoding, or `null` if the request does not specify a character encoding

### getContentLength

    public int getContentLength()

  Description copied from interface: `ServletRequest`
  Returns the length, in bytes, of the request body and made available by the input stream, or -1 if the length is not known. For HTTP servlets, same as the value of the CGI variable CONTENT_LENGTH.

  Specified by:

  Returns:
    a `String` containing the name of the MIME type of the request, or null if the type is not known

### setContentType

    public void setContentType(String contentType)

### getContextPath

    public String getContextPath()

  Description copied from interface: `HttpServletRequest`
  Returns the portion of the request URI that indicates the context of the request. The context path always comes first in a request URI. The path starts with a "/" character but does not end with a "/" character. For servlets in the default (root) context, this method returns "". The container does not decode this string.

  It is possible that a servlet container may match a context by more than one context path. In such cases this method will return the actual context path used by the request and it may differ from the path returned by the `ServletContext.getContextPath()` method. The context path returned by `ServletContext.getContextPath()` should be considered as the prime or preferred context path of the application.

  Specified by:
    `getContextPath` in interface `HttpServletRequest`
  Returns:
    a `String` specifying the portion of the request URI that indicates the context of the request
  See Also:
    `ServletContext.getContextPath()`

  Specified by:
    `getCookies` in interface `HttpServletRequest`
  Returns:
    an array of all the `Cookies` included with this request, or `null` if the request has no cookies

### getDateHeader

    public long getDateHeader(String name)

  Description copied from interface: `HttpServletRequest`
  Returns the value of the specified request header as a `long` value that represents a `Date` object. Use this method with headers that contain dates, such as `If-Modified-Since`.

  The date is returned as the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 GMT. The header name is case insensitive.

  If the request did not have a header of the specified name, this method returns -1. If the header can't be converted to a date, the method throws an `IllegalArgumentException`.

  Returns:
    an enumeration of all the header names sent with this request; if the request has no headers, an empty enumeration; if the servlet container does not allow servlets to use this method, `null`

### getHeaders

    public Enumeration getHeaders(String name)

  Description copied from interface: `HttpServletRequest`
  Returns all the values of the specified request header as an `Enumeration` of `String` objects.

  Some headers, such as `Accept-Language` can be sent by clients as several headers each with a different value rather than sending the header as a comma separated list.

  If the request did not include any headers of the specified name, this method returns an empty `Enumeration`. The header name is case insensitive. You can use this method with any request header.

  Specified by:
    `getHeaders` in interface `HttpServletRequest`
  Parameters:
    `name` - a `String` specifying the header name

  Specified by:
    `getRequestDispatcher` in interface `ServletRequest`
  Parameters:
    `path` - a `String` specifying the pathname to the resource. If it is relative, it must be relative against the current servlet.
  Returns:
    a `RequestDispatcher` object that acts as a wrapper for the resource at the specified path, or `null` if the servlet container cannot return a `RequestDispatcher`

  Returns the session ID specified by the client. This may not be the same as the ID of the current valid session for this request. If the client did not specify a session ID, this method returns `null`.

  Specified by:
    `getRequestedSessionId` in interface `HttpServletRequest`
  Returns:
    a `String` specifying the session ID, or `null` if the request did not specify a session ID
  See Also:
    `HttpServletRequest.isRequestedSessionIdValid()`

### getRequestURI

    public String getRequestURI()

  Description copied from interface: `HttpServletRequest`
  Returns the part of this request's URL from the protocol name up to the query string in the first line of the HTTP request. The web container does not decode this String. For example:

  First line of HTTP request | Returned Value
  --- | ---
  POST /some/path.html HTTP/1.1 |  | /some/path.html
  GET http://foo.bar/a.html HTTP/1.0 |  | /a.html
  HEAD /xyz?a=b HTTP/1.1 |  | /xyz

  To reconstruct an URL with a scheme and host, use `HttpUtils.getRequestURL(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)`.

  Specified by:
    `getRequestURI` in interface `HttpServletRequest`
  Returns:
    a `String` containing the part of the URL from the protocol name up to the query string
  See Also:
    `HttpUtils.getRequestURL(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)`

### getRequestURL

    public StringBuffer getRequestURL()

  Description copied from interface: `HttpServletRequest`
  Reconstructs the URL the client used to make the request. The returned URL contains a protocol, server name, port number, and server path, but it does not include query string parameters.

  If this request has been forwarded using `RequestDispatcher.forward(javax.servlet.ServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse)`, the server path in the reconstructed URL must reflect the path used to obtain the RequestDispatcher, and not the server path specified by the client.

  Because this method returns a `StringBuffer`, not a string, you can modify the URL easily, for example, to append query parameters.

  This method is useful for creating redirect messages and for reporting errors.

  Specified by:
    `getRequestURL` in interface `HttpServletRequest`
  Returns:
    a `StringBuffer` object containing the reconstructed URL

### getScheme

    public String getScheme()

  Description copied from interface: `ServletRequest`
  Returns the name of the scheme used to make this request, for example, `http`, `https`, or `ftp`. Different schemes have different rules for constructing URLs, as noted in RFC 1738.

  Specified by:
    `getScheme` in interface `ServletRequest`
  Returns:
    a `String` containing the name of the scheme used to make this request

### getServerName

    public String getServerName()

  Description copied from interface: `ServletRequest`
  Returns the host name of the server to which the request was sent. It is the value of the part before ":" in the `Host` header value, if any, or the resolved server name, or the server IP address.

  Specified by:
    `getServerName` in interface `ServletRequest`
  Returns:
    a `String` containing the name of the server

### getServerPort

    public int getServerPort()

  Description copied from interface: `ServletRequest`
  Returns the port number to which the request was sent. It is the value of the part after ":" in the `Host` header value, if any, or the server port where the client connection was accepted on.

  Specified by:
    `getServerPort` in interface `ServletRequest`
  Returns:
    an integer specifying the port number

### getServletPath

    public String getServletPath()

  Description copied from interface: `HttpServletRequest`

  This method will return an empty string ("") if the servlet used to process this request was matched using the "/*" pattern.

  Specified by:
    `getServletPath` in interface `HttpServletRequest`
  Returns:
    a `String` containing the name or path of the servlet being called, as specified in the request URL, decoded, or an empty string if the servlet used to process the request is matched using the "/*" pattern.

    the `HttpSession` associated with this request
  See Also:
    `HttpServletRequest.getSession(boolean)`

### getSession

    public HttpSession getSession(boolean create)

  Description copied from interface: `HttpServletRequest`
  Returns the current `HttpSession` associated with this request or, if there is no current session and `create` is true, returns a new session.

  If `create` is `false` and the request has no valid `HttpSession`, this method returns `null`.

  To make sure the session is properly maintained, you must call this method before the response is committed. If the container is using cookies to maintain session integrity and is asked to create a new session when the response is committed, an IllegalStateException is thrown.

  Specified by:
    `getSession` in interface `HttpServletRequest`
  Parameters:
    `create` - `true` to create a new session for this request if necessary; `false` to return `null` if there's no current session
  Returns:
    the `HttpSession` associated with this request or `null` if `create` is `false` and the request has no valid session
  See Also:
    `HttpServletRequest.getSession()`

### getUserPrincipal

    public Principal getUserPrincipal()

  Description copied from interface: `HttpServletRequest`

### removeAttribute

    public void removeAttribute(String name)

  Description copied from interface: `ServletRequest`

  Description copied from interface: `ServletRequest`
  Stores an attribute in this request. Attributes are reset between requests. This method is most often used in conjunction with `RequestDispatcher`.

  Attribute names should follow the same conventions as package names. Names beginning with `java.*`, `javax.*`, and `com.sun.*`, are reserved for use by Sun Microsystems.
  If the object passed in is null, the effect is the same as calling `ServletRequest.removeAttribute(java.lang.String)`.
  It is warned that when the request is dispatched from the servlet resides in a different web application by `RequestDispatcher`, the object set by this method may not be correctly retrieved in the caller servlet.
