Overview

Rack::Request provides a convenient interface to a Rack environment. It is stateless, the environment env passed to the constructor will be directly modified.

req = Rack::Request.new(env)
req.post?
req.params["data"]

The environment hash passed will store a reference to the Request object instantiated so that it will only instantiate if an instance of the Request object doesn’t already exist.

Returns:

#form_data?Boolean

Determine whether the request body contains form-data by checking the request Content-Type for one of the media-types: “application/x-www-form-urlencoded” or “multipart/form-data”. The list of form-data media types can be modified through the FORM_DATA_MEDIA_TYPES array.

A request body is also assumed to contain form-data when no Content-Type header is provided and the request_method is POST.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

The media type parameters provided in CONTENT_TYPE as a Hash, or an empty Hash if no CONTENT_TYPE or media-type parameters were provided. e.g., when the CONTENT_TYPE is “text/plain;charset=utf-8”, this method responds with the following Hash:

{ 'charset' => 'utf-8' }
