cherrypy.wsgiserver.HTTPRequest

Class HTTPRequest

object --+ | HTTPRequest

An HTTP Request (and response). A single HTTP connection may consist of multiple request/response pairs. connection: the HTTP Connection object which spawned this request. rfile: the 'read' fileobject from the connection's socket ready: when True, the request has been parsed and is ready to begin generating the response. When False, signals the calling Connection that the response should not be generated and the connection should close. close_connection: signals the calling Connection that the request should close. This does not imply an error! The client and/or server may each request that the connection be closed. chunked_write: if True, output will be encoded with the "chunked" transfer-coding. This value is set automatically inside send_headers.
