"""An IVLE request object. This is presented to the IVLE apps as a way of
43
interacting with the web server and the dispatcher.
45
Request object attributes:
47
String. The request method (eg. 'GET', 'POST', etc)
49
String. The path portion of the URI.
51
String. Name of the application specified in the URL, or None.
53
String. The path specified in the URL *not including* the
54
application or the IVLE location prefix. eg. a URL of
55
"/ivle/files/joe/myfiles" has a path of "joe/myfiles".
57
User object. Details of the user who is currently logged in, or
60
storm.store.Store instance. Holds a database transaction open,
61
which is available for the entire lifetime of the request.
63
String. Hostname the server is running on.
65
Table object representing headers sent by the client.
66
headers_out (read, can be written to)
67
Table object representing headers to be sent to the client.
69
Bool. True if the request came for the "public host" as
70
configured in conf.py. Note that public mode requests do not
71
have an app (app is set to None).
74
Int. Response status number. Use one of the status codes defined
77
String. The Content-Type (mime type) header value.
79
String. Response "Location" header value. Used with HTTP redirect
82
List of strings. Write a list of URLs to CSS files here, and they
83
will be incorporated as <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
84
elements in the head, if write_html_head_foot is True.
85
URLs should be relative to the IVLE root; they will be fixed up
88
List of strings. Write a list of URLs to JS files here, and they
89
will be incorporated as <script type="text/javascript"> elements
90
in the head, if write_html_head_foot is True.
91
URLs should be relative to the IVLE root; they will be fixed up
94
List of strings. Write a list of JS function names, and they
95
will be added as window.addListener('load', ..., false); calls
96
in the head, if write_html_head_foot is True.
