String. The path portion of the URI.
app (read)
String. Name of the application specified in the URL, or None.
path (read)
String. The path specified in the URL *not including* the
application or the IVLE location prefix. eg. a URL of
"/ivle/files/joe/myfiles" has a path of "joe/myfiles".
user (read)
User object. Details of the user who is currently logged in, or
None.
store (read)
storm.store.Store instance. Holds a database transaction open,
which is available for the entire lifetime of the request.
hostname (read)
String. Hostname the server is running on.

Table object representing headers sent by the client.
headers_out (read, can be written to)
Table object representing headers to be sent to the client.

Bool. True if the request came for the "public host" as
configured in conf.py. Note that public mode requests do not

Int. Response status number. Use one of the status codes defined
in class Request.

String. The Content-Type (mime type) header value.
location (write)
String. Response "Location" header value. Used with HTTP redirect
responses.
