Represents a server-side HTTP request.

Instances are created for each request and passed to the user via a handler.

Each instance of this class is associated with a corresponding HttpServerResponse instance via response.

It implements ReadStream so it can be used with Pump to pump data with flow control.

Convenience method for receiving the entire request body in one piece.

This saves the user having to manually setting a data and end handler and append the chunks of the body until the whole body received. Don't use this if your request body is large - you could potentially run out of RAM.

Params:
  • bodyHandler – This handler will be called after all the body has been received

Get a net socket for the underlying connection of this request.

This method must be called before the server response is ended.

With CONNECT requests, a 200 response is sent with no content-length header set before returning the socket.

server.requestHandler(req -> {
  if (req.method() == HttpMethod.CONNECT) {
    // Send a 200 response to accept the connect
    NetSocket socket = req.netSocket();
    socket.handler(buff -> {
      socket.write(buff);
    });
  }
  ...
});

For other HTTP/1 requests once you have called this method, you must handle writing to the connection yourself using the net socket, the server request instance will no longer be usable as normal. USE THIS WITH CAUTION! Writing to the socket directly if you don't know what you're doing can easily break the HTTP protocol.

With HTTP/2, a 200 response is always sent with no content-length header set before returning the socket like in the CONNECT case above.

Throws:
Returns:the net socket
/** * Get a net socket for the underlying connection of this request. * <p/> * This method must be called before the server response is ended. * <p/> * With {@code CONNECT} requests, a {@code 200} response is sent with no {@code content-length} header set * before returning the socket. * <p/> * <pre> * server.requestHandler(req -> { * if (req.method() == HttpMethod.CONNECT) { * // Send a 200 response to accept the connect * NetSocket socket = req.netSocket(); * socket.handler(buff -> { * socket.write(buff); * }); * } * ... * }); * </pre> * <p/> * For other HTTP/1 requests once you have called this method, you must handle writing to the connection yourself using * the net socket, the server request instance will no longer be usable as normal.

Call this with true if you are expecting a multi-part body to be submitted in the request. This must be called before the body of the request has been received
Params:

Set an upload handler. The handler will get notified once a new file upload was received to allow you to deal with the file upload.
Returns:a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

Returns a map of all form attributes in the request.

Be aware that the attributes will only be available after the whole body has been received, i.e. after the request end handler has been called.

setExpectMultipart(boolean) must be called first before trying to get the form attributes.

Returns:the form attributes
/** * Returns a map of all form attributes in the request. * <p> * Be aware that the attributes will only be available after the whole body has been received, i.e. after * the request end handler has been called. * <p> * {@link #setExpectMultipart(boolean)} must be called first before trying to get the form attributes. * * @return the form attributes */

Upgrade the connection to a WebSocket connection.

This is an alternative way of handling WebSockets and can only be used if no WebSocket handler is set on the HttpServer, and can only be used during the upgrade request during the WebSocket handshake.

Throws:
  • IllegalStateException – if the current request cannot be upgraded, when it happens an appropriate response is sent
Returns:the WebSocket
/** * Upgrade the connection to a WebSocket connection. * <p> * This is an alternative way of handling WebSockets and can only be used if no WebSocket handler is set on the * {@code HttpServer}, and can only be used during the upgrade request during the WebSocket handshake. * * @return the WebSocket * @throws IllegalStateException if the current request cannot be upgraded, when it happens an appropriate response * is sent */

Returns:true if ended
/** * Has the request ended? I.e. has the entire request, including the body been read? * * @return true if ended */

Set a custom frame handler. The handler will get notified when the http stream receives an custom HTTP/2 frame. HTTP/2 permits extension of the protocol.
Returns:a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
/** * Set a custom frame handler. The handler will get notified when the http stream receives an custom HTTP/2 * frame. HTTP/2 permits extension of the protocol. * * @return a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently */
@Fluent HttpServerRequest customFrameHandler(Handler<HttpFrame> handler);
Returns:the HttpConnection associated with this request
/** * @return the {@link HttpConnection} associated with this request */
@CacheReturn HttpConnection connection();
Returns:the priority of the associated HTTP/2 stream for HTTP/2 otherwise null
/** * @return the priority of the associated HTTP/2 stream for HTTP/2 otherwise {@code null} */

Set an handler for stream priority changes

This is not implemented for HTTP/1.x.

Params:
  • handler – the handler to be called when stream priority changes
/** * Set an handler for stream priority changes * <p> * This is not implemented for HTTP/1.x. * * @param handler the handler to be called when stream priority changes */
