class HTTP::Request

Overview

An HTTP request.

It serves both to perform requests by an HTTP::Client and to represent requests received by an HTTP::Server.

A request always holds an IO as a body. When creating a request with a String or Bytes its body will be a IO::Memory wrapping these, and the Content-Length header will be set appropriately.

Defined in:

http/request.cr
