!CHAPTER Request objects
TODO
The request object specifies the following properties:
* **baseUrl**: `string`
Root-relative base URL of the service, i.e. the prefix `"/_db/"` followed by the value of *database*.
* **body**: `any`
The processed and validated request body for the current route.
TODO
* **context**: `Context`
The [service context][CONTEXT] in which the router was mounted (rather than the context in which the route was defined).
TODO
* **database**: `string`
The name of the database in which the request is being handled, e.g. `"_system"`.
* **headers**: `object`
The raw headers object.
TODO
* **hostname**: `string`
The hostname (domain name) indicated in the request headers.
Defaults to the hostname portion (i.e. excluding the port) of the `Host` header and falls back to the listening address of the server.
* **method**: `string`
The HTTP verb used to make the request, e.g. `"GET"`.
* **originalUrl**: `string`
Root-relative URL of the request, i.e. *path* followed by the raw query parameters, if any.
* **path**: `string`
Database-relative path of the request URL (not including the query parameters).
* **pathParams**: `object`
TODO
* **port**: `number`
The port indicated in the request headers.
Defaults to the port portion (i.e. excluding the hostname) of the `Host` header and falls back to the listening port or the appropriate default port (`443` for HTTPS or `80` for HTTP, depending on *secure*) if the header only indicates a hostname.
If the service is configured to trust proxy headers,
this is set to the port portion of the `X-Forwarded-Host` header (or approriate default port) if present.
* **protocol**: `string`
The protocol used for the request.
Defaults to `"https"` or `"http"` depending on whether ArangoDB is configured to use SSL or not.
If the service is configured to trust proxy headers,
this is set to the value of the `X-Forwarded-Proto` header if present.
* **queryParams**: `object`
TODO
* **rawBody**: `Buffer`
TODO
* **remoteAddress**: `string`
The IP of the client that made the request.
If the service is configured to trust proxy headers,
this is set to the first IP listed in the `X-Forwarded-For` header if present.
* **remoteAddresses**: `Array<string>`
A list containing the IP addresses used to make the request.
Defaults to the value of *remoteAddress* wrapped in an array.
If the service is configured to trust proxy headers,
this is set to the list of IPs specified in the `X-Forwarded-For` header if present.
* **remotePort**: `number`
The listening port of the client that made the request.
If the service is configured to trust proxy headers,
this is set to the port specified in the `X-Forwarded-Port` header if present.
* **secure**: `boolean`
Whether the request was made over a secure connection (i.e. HTTPS).
This is set to `false` when *protocol* is `"http"` and `true` when *protocol* is `"https"`.
* **suffix**: `string`
TODO
* **url**: `string`
TODO
* **xhr**: `boolean`
Whether the request indicates it was made within a browser using AJAX.
This is set to `true` if the `X-Requested-With` header is present and is a case-insensitive match for the value `"xmlhttprequest"`.
Note that this value does not guarantee whether the request was made from inside a browser or whether AJAX was used and is merely a convention established by JavaScript frameworks like jQuery.
!SECTION accepts
`req.accepts(types): string | false`
`req.accepts(...types): string | false`
`req.acceptsCharsets(charsets): string | false`
`req.acceptsCharsets(...charsets): string | false`
`req.acceptsEncodings(encodings): string | false`
`req.acceptsEncodings(...encodings): string | false`
`req.acceptsLanguages(languages): string | false`
`req.acceptsLanguages(...languages): string | false`
These methods wrap the corresponding content negotiation methods of the [accepts module][ACCEPTS]for the current request.
**Examples**
```js
if (req.accepts(['json', 'html']) === 'html') {
// Client explicitly prefers HTML over JSON
res.write('<h1>Client prefers HTML</h1>');
} else {
// Otherwise just send JSON
res.json({success: true});
}
```
!SECTION cookie
`req.cookie(name, options): any`
TODO
**Arguments**
* **name**: `string`
TODO
* **options**: `object` (optional)
An object with any of the following properties:
* **secret**: `string` (optional)
TODO
* **algorithm**: `string` (Default: `"sha256"`)
TODO
If a string is passed instead of an options object it will be interpreted as the *secret* option.
TODO
!SECTION get / header
`req.get(name): string`
`req.header(name): string`
TODO
**Arguments**
* **name**: `string`
TODO
TODO
!SECTION is
`req.is(types): string`
`req.is(...types): string`
This method wraps the (request body) content type detection method of the [type-is module][TYPEIS] for the current request.
**Arguments**
* **types**: `Array<string>`
TODO
TODO
!SECTION json
`req.json(): any`
TODO
!SECTION makeAbsolute
`req.makeAbsolute(path, [query]): string`
TODO
**Arguments**
* **path**: `string`
TODO
* **query**: `string | object`
TODO
TODO
!SECTION params
`req.param(name): any`
**Arguments**
TODO
* **name**: `string`
TODO
TODO
!SECTION range
`req.range([size]): Ranges | number`
This method wraps the range header parsing method of the [range-parser module][RANGEPARSER] for the current request.
**Arguments**
* **size**: `number` (Default: `Infinity`)
Length of the satisfiable range (e.g. number of bytes in the full response). If present, ranges exceeding the size will be considered unsatisfiable.
Returns `undefined` if the `Range` header is absent, `-2` if the header is present but malformed, `-1` if the range is invalid (e.g. start offset is larger than end offset) or unsatisfiable for the given size.
Otherwise returns an array of objects with the properties *start* and *end* values for each range. The array has an additional property *type* indicating the request range type.
**Examples**
```js
console.log(req.headers.range); // "bytes=40-80"
const ranges = req.range(100);
console.log(ranges); // [{start: 40, end: 80}]
console.log(ranges.type); // "bytes"
```
