=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->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::Controller::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.

Arguments get automatically URI-unescaped for you.

=head2 $req->args

Shortcut for L</arguments>.

=head2 $req->base

Contains the URI base. This will always have a trailing slash. Note that the
URI scheme (e.g., http vs. https) must be determined through heuristics;
depending on your server configuration, it may be incorrect. See $req->secure
for more info.

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, as returned by L<HTTP::Body>: a string,
unless Content-Type is C<application/x-www-form-urlencoded>, C<text/xml>, or
C<multipart/form-data>, in which case a L<File::Temp> object is returned.

=head2 $req->body_data

Returns a Perl representation of POST/PUT body data that is not classic HTML
form data, such as JSON, XML, etc.  By default, Catalyst will parse incoming
data of the type 'application/json' and return access to that data via this
method.  You may define addition data_handlers via a global configuration
setting.  See L<Catalyst\DATA HANDLERS> for more information.

If the POST is malformed in some way (such as undefined or not content that
matches the content-type) we raise a L<Catalyst::Exception> with the error
text as the message.

If the POSTed content type does not match an available data handler, this
will also raise an exception.

=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.

B<NOTE> If your POST is multipart, but contains non file upload parts (such
as an line part with an alternative encoding or content type) we do our best to
try and figure out how the value should be presented.  If there's a specified character
set we will use that to decode rather than the default encoding set by the application.
However if there are complex headers and we cannot determine
the correct way to extra a meaningful value from the upload, in this case any
part like this will be represented as an instance of L<Catalyst::Request::PartData>.

Patches and review of this part of the code welcomed.

=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

    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::Simple::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. Use C<< $req->uri->host >> to get the hostname of the server.

=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>.

B<NOTE> this is considered a legacy interface and care should be taken when
using it. C<< scalar $c->req->param( 'foo' ) >> will return only the first
C<foo> param even if multiple are present; C<< $c->req->param( 'foo' ) >> will
return a list of as many are present, which can have unexpected consequences
when writing code of the form:

    $foo->bar(
        a => 'b',
        baz => $c->req->param( 'baz' ),
    );

If multiple C<baz> parameters are provided this code might corrupt data or
cause a hash initialization error. For a more straightforward interface see
C<< $c->req->parameters >>.

B<NOTE> Interfaces like this, which are based on L<CGI> and the C<param> method
are known to cause demonstrated exploits. It is highly recommended that you
avoid using this method, and migrate existing code away from it.  Here's a
whitepaper of the exploit:

L<http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/>

B<NOTE> Further discussion on IRC indicate that the L<Catalyst> core team from 'back then'
were well aware of this hack and this is the main reason we added the new approach to
getting parameters in the first place.

Basically this is an exploit that takes advantage of how L<\param> will do one thing
in scalar context and another thing in list context.  This is combined with how Perl
chooses to deal with duplicate keys in a hash definition by overwriting the value of
existing keys with a new value if the same key shows up again.  Generally you will be
vulnerable to this exploit if you are using this method in a direct assignment in a
hash, such as with a L<DBIx::Class> create statement.  For example, if you have
parameters like:

    user?user=123&foo=a&foo=user&foo=456

You could end up with extra parameters injected into your method calls:

    $c->model('User')->create({
      user => $c->req->param('user'),
      foo => $c->req->param('foo'),
    });

Which would look like:

    $c->model('User')->create({
      user => 123,
      foo => qw(a user 456),
    });

(or to be absolutely clear if you are not seeing it):

    $c->model('User')->create({
      user => 456,
      foo => 'a',
    });

Possible remediations include scrubbing your parameters with a form validator like
L<HTML::FormHandler> or being careful to force scalar context using the scalar
keyword:

    $c->model('User')->create({
      user => scalar($c->req->param('user')),
      foo => scalar($c->req->param('foo')),
    });

Upcoming versions of L<Catalyst> will disable this interface by default and require
you to positively enable it should you require it for backwards compatibility reasons.

=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.

    http://localhost/path/foo

    $c->request->path will contain 'path/foo'

=head2 $req->path_info

Alias for path, added for compatibility with L<CGI>.

=cut

    my ( $self, @params ) = @_;

    if (@params) {
        $self->uri->path(@params);
        $self->_clear_path;

        $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.

=head2 $req->read_chunk(\$buff, $max)

Reads a chunk.

You have to set MyApp->config(parse_on_demand => 1) 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). The reliability of $req->secure may depend on your server
configuration; Catalyst relies on PSGI to determine whether or not a
request is secure (Catalyst looks at psgi.url_scheme), and different
PSGI servers may make this determination in different ways (as by
directly passing along information from the server, interpreting any of
several HTTP headers, or using heuristics of their own).

=head2 $req->captures

Returns a reference to an array containing captured args from chained
actions or regex captures.

    my @captures = @{ $c->request->captures };

=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

              : $self->uploads->{$upload};
        }
    }

    if ( @_ > 1 ) {

        while ( my ( $field, $upload ) = splice( @_, 0, 2 ) ) {

                }
            }

                $self->uploads->{$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 L<URI> object for the current request. Stringifies to the URI text.

=head2 $req->mangle_params( { key => 'value' }, $appendmode);

Returns a hashref of parameters stemming from the current request's params,
plus the ones supplied.  Keys for which no current param exists will be
added, keys with undefined values will be removed and keys with existing
params will be replaced.  Note that you can supply a true value as the final
argument to change behavior with regards to existing parameters, appending
values rather than replacing them.

A quick example:

  # URI query params foo=1
  my $hashref = $req->mangle_params({ foo => 2 });
  # Result is query params of foo=2

versus append mode:

  # URI query params foo=1
  my $hashref = $req->mangle_params({ foo => 2 }, 1);
  # Result is query params of foo=1&foo=2

This is the code behind C<uri_with>.

=cut

    carp('No arguments passed to mangle_params()') unless $args;

    foreach my $value ( values %$args ) {

        }
    };

        if(defined($val)) {

            if($append && exists($params{$key})) {

                # an existing one regardless if the existing value is an array
                # or not, and regardless if the new value is an array or not
                $params{$key} = [

        }
    }


    return \%params;
}

=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.

You may also pass an optional second parameter that puts C<uri_with> into
append mode:

  $req->uri_with( { key => 'value' }, { mode => 'append' } );

See C<mangle_params> for an explanation of this behavior.

=cut

    my( $self, $args, $behavior) = @_;

    carp( 'No arguments passed to uri_with()' ) unless $args;

    my $append = 0;
    if((ref($behavior) eq 'HASH') && defined($behavior->{mode}) && ($behavior->{mode} eq 'append')) {
        $append = 1;
    }

    my $params = $self->mangle_params($args, $append);

    my $uri = $self->uri->clone;
    $uri->query_form($params);

    return $uri;
}

=head2 $req->remote_user

Returns the value of the C<REMOTE_USER> environment variable.

=head2 $req->user_agent

Shortcut to $req->headers->user_agent. Returns the user agent (browser)
version string.

=head2 $req->io_fh

Returns a psgix.io bidirectional socket, if your server supports one.  Used for
when you want to jailbreak out of PSGI and handle bidirectional client server
communication manually, such as when you are using cometd or websockets.

=head1 SETUP METHODS

You should never need to call these yourself in application code,
however they are useful if extending Catalyst by applying a request role.

=head2 $self->prepare_headers()

Sets up the C<< $res->headers >> accessor.

=head2 $self->prepare_body()

Sets up the body using L<HTTP::Body>

=head2 $self->prepare_body_chunk()

Add a chunk to the request body.

=head2 $self->prepare_body_parameters()

Sets up parameters from body.

=head2 $self->prepare_cookies()

Parse cookies from header. Sets up a L<CGI::Simple::Cookie> object.

=head2 $self->prepare_connection()

Sets up various fields in the request like the local and remote addresses,
request method, hostname requested etc.

=head2 $self->prepare_parameters()

Ensures that the body has been parsed, then builds the parameters, which are
combined from those in the request and those in the body.

If parameters have already been set will clear the parameters and build them again.

=head2 $self->env

Access to the raw PSGI env.
