HttpServerRequest (Vert.x Core 4.4.6 API)

All Superinterfaces:

ReadStream<Buffer>, StreamBase
```
public interface HttpServerRequest
extends ReadStream<Buffer>
```
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 Pipe to pipe data with flow control.

  - bodyHandler
```
default HttpServerRequest bodyHandler(Handler<Buffer> bodyHandler)
```
    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.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bodyHandler - This handler will be called after all the body has been received
  - body
```
default HttpServerRequest body(Handler<AsyncResult<Buffer>> handler)
```
    Same as body() but with an handler called when the operation completes
  - body
```
Future<Buffer> body()
```
    Convenience method for receiving the entire request body in one piece.
    This saves you having to manually set a dataHandler and an endHandler 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.
    
    Returns:
    
    a future completed with the body result
  - end
```
default void end(Handler<AsyncResult<Void>> handler)
```
    Same as end() but with an handler called when the operation completes
  - end
```
Future<Void> end()
```
    Returns a future signaling when the request has been fully received successfully or failed.
    
    Returns:
    
    a future completed with the body result
  - toNetSocket
```
default void toNetSocket(Handler<AsyncResult<NetSocket>> handler)
```
    Establish a TCP tunnel
    with the client.
    This must be called only for CONNECT HTTP method or for HTTP connection upgrade, before any response is sent.
    Calling this sends a 200 response for a CONNECT or a 101 for a connection upgrade wit no content-length header set and then provides the NetSocket for handling the created tunnel. Any HTTP header set on the response before calling this method will be sent.
    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); }); } ... });
    Parameters:
    
    handler - the completion handler
  - toNetSocket
```
Future<NetSocket> toNetSocket()
```
    Like toNetSocket(Handler) but returns a Future of the asynchronous result
  - setExpectMultipart
```
HttpServerRequest setExpectMultipart(boolean expect)
```
    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
    
    Parameters:
    
    expect - true - if you are expecting a multi-part body
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - isExpectMultipart
```
boolean isExpectMultipart()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if we are expecting a multi-part body for this request. See setExpectMultipart(boolean).
  - uploadHandler
```
HttpServerRequest uploadHandler(Handler<HttpServerFileUpload> uploadHandler)
```
    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
  - formAttributes
```
MultiMap formAttributes()
```
    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
  - getFormAttribute
```
String getFormAttribute(String attributeName)
```
    Return the first form attribute value with the specified name

    Returns:
    
    the attribute value
  - streamId
```
default int streamId()
```
    Returns:
    
    the id of the stream of this request, -1 when it is not yet determined, i.e the request has not been yet sent or it is not supported HTTP/1.x
  - toWebSocket
```
default void toWebSocket(Handler<AsyncResult<ServerWebSocket>> handler)
```
    Upgrade the connection of the current request to a WebSocket.
    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.
    Both handler(Handler) and endHandler(Handler) will be set to get the full body of the request that is necessary to perform the WebSocket handshake.
    If you need to do an asynchronous upgrade, i.e not performed immediately in your request handler, you need to pause() the request in order to not lose HTTP events necessary to upgrade the request.
    
    Parameters:
    
    handler - the completion handler
  - toWebSocket
```
Future<ServerWebSocket> toWebSocket()
```
    Like toWebSocket(Handler) but returns a Future of the asynchronous result

    Has the request ended? I.e. has the entire request, including the body been read?
    
    Returns:
    
    true if ended
  - customFrameHandler
```
HttpServerRequest customFrameHandler(Handler<HttpFrame> handler)
```
    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
  - connection
```
HttpConnection connection()
```
    Returns:
    
    the HttpConnection associated with this request

    Set an handler for stream priority changes
    This is not implemented for HTTP/1.x.
    
    Parameters:
    
    handler - the handler to be called when stream priority changes
  - decoderResult
```
io.netty.handler.codec.DecoderResult decoderResult()
```
    Returns:
    
    Netty's decoder result useful for handling invalid requests with HttpServer.invalidRequestHandler(io.vertx.core.Handler<io.vertx.core.http.HttpServerRequest>)
  - getCookie
```
Cookie getCookie(String name)
```
    Get the cookie with the specified name. NOTE: this will return just the 1st Cookie that matches the given name, to get all cookies for this name see: cookies(String)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the cookie name
    
    Returns:
    
    the cookie or null if not found.
  - getCookie
```
Cookie getCookie(String name,
                 String domain,
                 String path)
```
    Get the cookie with the specified <name, domain, path>.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the cookie name
    
    domain - the cookie domain
    
    path - the cookie path
    
    Returns:
    
    the cookie or null if not found.
  - cookieCount
```
default int cookieCount()
```
    Returns:
    
    the number of cookies in the cookie jar.
  - cookieMap
```
@Deprecated
default Map<String,Cookie> cookieMap()
```
    Deprecated. the implementation made a wrong assumption that cookies could be identified only by their name. The RFC states that the tuple of <name, domain, path> is the unique identifier. When more than one cookie has the same name, the map will hold that lost one to be parsed and any previously parsed value will be silently overwritten.
    
    Returns:
    
    a map of all the cookies.
  - cookies
```
Set<Cookie> cookies(String name)
```
    Returns a read only set of parsed cookies that match the given name, or an empty set. Several cookies may share the same name but have different keys. A cookie is unique by its <name, domain, path> tuple. The set entries are references to the request original set. This means that performing property changes in the cookie objects will affect the original object too. NOTE: the returned Set is read-only. This means any attempt to modify (add or remove to the set), will throw UnsupportedOperationException.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name to be matches
    
    Returns:
    
    the matching cookies or empty set
  - cookies
```
Set<Cookie> cookies()
```
    Returns a modifiable set of parsed cookies from the COOKIE header. Several cookies may share the same name but have different keys. A cookie is unique by its <name, domain, path> tuple. Request cookies are directly linked to response cookies. Any modification to a cookie object in the returned set will mark the cookie to be included in the HTTP response. Removing a cookie from the set, will also mean that it will be removed from the response, regardless if it was modified or not.
    
    Returns:
    
    a set with all cookies in the cookie jar.
  - routed
```
default HttpServerRequest routed(String route)
```
    Marks this request as being routed to the given route. This is purely informational and is being provided to metrics.
    
    Parameters:
    
    route - The route this request has been routed to.
