60 | <P> | |
61 | The following methods describe all of <tt class="class">Request</tt>'s public interface, | |
62 | and so all must be overridden in subclasses. | |

64 | <P> | |
65 | <dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline"> | |

67 | <td><var>data</var>)</td></tr></table></dt> | |
68 | <dd> | |
69 | Set the <tt class="class">Request</tt> data to <var>data</var>. This is ignored by all | |
70 | handlers except HTTP handlers -- and there it should be a byte | |
71 | string, and will change the request to be <code>POST</code> rather than | |
72 | <code>GET</code>. | |
73 | </dl> | |
74 | ||
75 | <P> | |
76 | <dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline"> | |

78 | <td><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt> | |
79 | <dd> | |
80 | Return a string indicating the HTTP request method. This is only | |
81 | meaningful for HTTP requests, and currently always returns | |
82 | <code>'GET'</code> or <code>'POST'</code>. | |
83 | </dl> | |

106 | Add another header to the request. Headers are currently ignored by | |
107 | all handlers except HTTP handlers, where they are added to the list | |
108 | of headers sent to the server. Note that there cannot be more than | |
109 | one header with the same name, and later calls will overwrite | |
110 | previous calls in case the <var>key</var> collides. Currently, this is | |
111 | no loss of HTTP functionality, since all headers which have meaning | |
112 | when used more than once have a (header-specific) way of gaining the | |
113 | same functionality using only one header. | |
