+This demonstrates how the Request object works, and tests it.
+
+To test for absense of PendingDeprecationWarning's we should reset
+default warning filters
+
+ >>> import warnings
+ >>> warnings.resetwarnings()
+
+
+You can instantiate a request using ``Request.blank()``, to create a
+fresh environment dictionary with all the basic keys such a dictionary
+should have.

+ >>> req.environ['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'] = 'XMLHttpRequest'
+ >>> req.is_xhr
+ True
+ >>> req.host
+ 'localhost:80'
+
+There are also variables to access the variables and body:
+
+ >>> from cStringIO import StringIO
+ >>> body = 'var1=value1&var2=value2&rep=1&rep=2'
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/')
+ >>> req.method = 'POST'
+ >>> req.body_file = StringIO(body)
+ >>> req.environ['CONTENT_LENGTH'] = str(len(body))
+ >>> vars = req.str_POST
+ >>> vars
+ MultiDict([('var1', 'value1'), ('var2', 'value2'), ('rep', '1'), ('rep', '2')])
+ >>> vars is req.POST
+ False
+ >>> req.POST
+ UnicodeMultiDict([('var1', u'value1'), ('var2', u'value2'), ('rep', u'1'), ('rep', u'2')])
+ >>> req.decode_param_names
+ False
+
+Note that the variables are there for GET requests and non-form requests,
+but they are empty and read-only:
+
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/')
+ >>> req.str_POST
+ <NoVars: Not a form request>
+ >>> req.str_POST.items()
+ []
+ >>> req.str_POST['x'] = 'y'
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ KeyError: 'Cannot add variables: Not a form request'
+ >>> req.method = 'POST'
+ >>> req.str_POST
+ MultiDict([])
+ >>> req.content_type = 'text/xml'
+ >>> req.body_file = StringIO('<xml></xml>')
+ >>> req.str_POST
+ <NoVars: Not an HTML form submission (Content-Type: text/xml)>
+ >>> req.body
+ '<xml></xml>'
+
+You can also get access to the query string variables, of course:
+
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/?a=b&d=e&d=f')
+ >>> req.str_GET
+ GET([('a', 'b'), ('d', 'e'), ('d', 'f')])
+ >>> req.GET['d']
+ u'f'
+ >>> req.GET.getall('d')
+ [u'e', u'f']
+ >>> req.method = 'POST'
+ >>> req.body = 'x=y&d=g'
+ >>> req.environ['CONTENT_LENGTH']
+ '7'
+ >>> req.params
+ UnicodeMultiDict([('a', u'b'), ('d', u'e'), ('d', u'f'), ('x', u'y'), ('d', u'g')])
+ >>> req.params['d']
+ u'f'
+ >>> req.params.getall('d')
+ [u'e', u'f', u'g']
+
+Cookies are viewed as a dictionary (*view only*):
+
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/')
+ >>> req.environ['HTTP_COOKIE'] = 'var1=value1; var2=value2'
+ >>> sorted(req.str_cookies.items())
+ [('var1', 'value1'), ('var2', 'value2')]
+ >>> sorted(req.cookies.items())
+ [('var1', u'value1'), ('var2', u'value2')]
+ >>> req.charset = 'utf8'
+ >>> sorted(req.cookies.items())
+ [('var1', u'value1'), ('var2', u'value2')]
+
+Sometimes conditional headers are problematic. You can remove them:
+
+ >>> from datetime import datetime
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/')
+ >>> req.if_none_match = 'some-etag'
+ >>> req.if_modified_since = datetime(2005, 1, 1, 12, 0)
+ >>> req.environ['HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'] = 'gzip'
+ >>> print sorted(req.headers.items())
+ [('Accept-Encoding', 'gzip'), ('Host', 'localhost:80'), ('If-Modified-Since', 'Sat, 01 Jan 2005 12:00:00 GMT'), ('If-None-Match', 'some-etag')]
+ >>> req.remove_conditional_headers()
+ >>> print req.headers
+ {'Host': 'localhost:80'}
+
+Some headers are handled specifically (more should be added):
+
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/')
+ >>> req.if_none_match = 'xxx'
+ >>> 'xxx' in req.if_none_match
+ True
+ >>> 'yyy' in req.if_none_match
+ False
+ >>> req.if_modified_since = datetime(2005, 1, 1, 12, 0)
+ >>> req.if_modified_since < datetime(2006, 1, 1, 12, 0, tzinfo=UTC)
+ True
+ >>> req.user_agent is None
+ True
+ >>> req.user_agent = 'MSIE-Win'
+ >>> req.user_agent
+ 'MSIE-Win'
+
+ >>> req.cache_control
+ <CacheControl ''>
+ >>> req.cache_control.no_cache = True
+ >>> req.cache_control.max_age = 0
+ >>> req.cache_control
+ <CacheControl 'max-age=0, no-cache'>
+
+.cache_control is a view:
+
+ >>> 'cache-control' in req.headers
+ True
+ >>> req.headers['cache-control']
+ 'max-age=0, no-cache'
+ >>> req.cache_control = {'no-transform': None, 'max-age': 100}
+ >>> req.headers['cache-control']
+ 'max-age=100, no-transform'
+
+
+
+Accept-* headers are parsed into read-only objects that support
+containment tests, and some useful methods. Note that parameters on
+mime types are not supported.
+
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/')
+ >>> req.environ['HTTP_ACCEPT'] = "text/*;q=0.3, text/html;q=0.7, text/html;level=1, text/html;level=2;q=0.4, */*;q=0.5"
+ >>> req.accept # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
+ <MIMEAccept at ... Accept: text/*;q=0.3, text/html;q=0.7, text/html, text/html;q=0.4, */*;q=0.5>
+ >>> for item, quality in req.accept._parsed:
+ ... print '%s: %0.1f' % (item, quality)
+ text/*: 0.3
+ text/html: 0.7
+ text/html: 1.0
+ text/html: 0.4
+ */*: 0.5
+ >>> '%0.1f' % req.accept.quality('text/html')
+ '0.3'
+ >>> req.accept.first_match(['text/plain', 'text/html', 'image/png'])
+ 'text/plain'
+ >>> 'image/png' in req.accept
+ True
+ >>> req.environ['HTTP_ACCEPT'] = "text/html, application/xml; q=0.7, text/*; q=0.5, */*; q=0.1"
+ >>> req.accept # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
+ <MIMEAccept at ... Accept: text/html, application/xml;q=0.7, text/*;q=0.5, */*;q=0.1>
+ >>> req.accept.best_match(['text/plain', 'application/xml'])
+ 'application/xml'
+ >>> req.accept.first_match(['application/xml', 'text/html'])
+ 'application/xml'
+ >>> req.accept = "text/html, application/xml, text/*; q=0.5"
+ >>> 'image/png' in req.accept
+ False
+ >>> 'text/plain' in req.accept
+ True
+ >>> req.accept_charset = 'utf8'
+ >>> 'UTF8' in req.accept_charset
+ True
+ >>> 'gzip' in req.accept_encoding
+ False
+ >>> req.accept_encoding = 'gzip'
+ >>> 'GZIP' in req.accept_encoding
+ True
+ >>> req.accept_language = {'en-US': 0.5, 'es': 0.7}
+ >>> str(req.accept_language)
+ 'es;q=0.7, en-US;q=0.5'
+ >>> req.headers['Accept-Language']
+ 'es;q=0.7, en-US;q=0.5'
+ >>> req.accept_language.best_matches('en-GB')
+ ['es', 'en-US', 'en-GB']
+ >>> req.accept_language.best_matches('es')
+ ['es']
+ >>> req.accept_language.best_matches('ES')
+ ['ES']
+
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/', accept_language='en;q=0.5')
+ >>> req.accept_language.best_match(['en-gb'])
+ 'en-gb'
+
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/', accept_charset='utf-8;q=0.5')
+ >>> req.accept_charset.best_match(['iso-8859-1', 'utf-8'])
+ 'iso-8859-1'
+
+The If-Range header is a combination of a possible conditional date or
+etag match::
+
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/')
+ >>> req.if_range = 'asdf'
+ >>> req.if_range
+ <IfRange etag=asdf, date=*>
+ >>> from webob import Response
+ >>> res = Response()
+ >>> res.etag = 'asdf'
+ >>> req.if_range.match_response(res)
+ True
+ >>> res.etag = None
+ >>> req.if_range.match_response(res)
+ False
+ >>> res.last_modified = datetime(2005, 1, 1, 12, 0, tzinfo=UTC)
+ >>> req.if_range = datetime(2006, 1, 1, 12, 0, tzinfo=UTC)
+ >>> req.if_range
+ <IfRange etag=*, date=Sun, 01 Jan 2006 12:00:00 GMT>
+ >>> req.if_range.match_response(res)
+ True
+ >>> res.last_modified = datetime(2007, 1, 1, 12, 0, tzinfo=UTC)
+ >>> req.if_range.match_response(res)
+ False
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/')
+ >>> req.if_range
+ <Empty If-Range>
+ >>> req.if_range.match_response(res)
+ True
+
+Ranges work like so::
+
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/')
+ >>> req.range = (0, 100)
+ >>> req.range
+ <Range ranges=(0, 100)>
+ >>> str(req.range)
+ 'bytes=0-99'
+
+You can use them with responses::
+
+ >>> res = Response()
+ >>> res.content_range = req.range.content_range(1000)
+ >>> res.content_range
+ <ContentRange bytes 0-99/1000>
+ >>> str(res.content_range)
+ 'bytes 0-99/1000'
+ >>> start, end, length = res.content_range
+ >>> start, end, length
+ (0, 100, 1000)
+
+A quick test of caching the request body:
+
+ >>> from cStringIO import StringIO
+ >>> length = Request.request_body_tempfile_limit+10
+ >>> data = StringIO('x'*length)
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/')
+ >>> req.content_length = length
+ >>> req.body_file = data
+ >>> req.body_file_raw
+ <...IO... object at ...>
+ >>> len(req.body)
+ 10250
+ >>> req.body_file
+ <open file ..., mode 'w+b' at ...>
+ >>> int(req.body_file.tell())
+ 0
+ >>> req.POST
+ UnicodeMultiDict([])
+ >>> int(req.body_file.tell())
+ 0
+
+Some query tests:
+
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/')
+ >>> req.GET.get('unknown')
+ >>> req.GET.get('unknown', '?')
+ '?'
+ >>> req.POST.get('unknown')
+ >>> req.POST.get('unknown', '?')
+ '?'
+ >>> req.params.get('unknown')
+ >>> req.params.get('unknown', '?')
+ '?'
+
+Some updating of the query string:
+
+ >>> req = Request.blank('http://localhost/foo?a=b')
+ >>> req.str_GET
+ GET([('a', 'b')])
+ >>> req.str_GET['c'] = 'd'
+ >>> req.query_string
+ 'a=b&c=d'
+
+And for dealing with file uploads:
+
+ >>> req = Request.blank('/posty')
+ >>> req.method = 'POST'
+ >>> req.content_type = 'multipart/form-data; boundary="foobar"'
+ >>> req.body = '''\
+ ... --foobar
+ ... Content-Disposition: form-data; name="a"
+ ...
+ ... b
+ ... --foobar
+ ... Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload"; filename="test.html"
+ ... Content-Type: text/html
+ ...
+ ... <html>Some text...</html>
+ ... --foobar--
+ ... '''
+ >>> req.str_POST
+ MultiDict([('a', 'b'), ('upload', FieldStorage('upload', 'test.html'))])
+ >>> print req.body.replace('\r', '') # doctest: +REPORT_UDIFF
+ --foobar
+ Content-Disposition: form-data; name="a"
+ <BLANKLINE>
+ b
+ --foobar
+ Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload"; filename="test.html"
+ Content-type: text/html
+ <BLANKLINE>
+ <html>Some text...</html>
+ --foobar--
+ >>> req.POST['c'] = 'd'
+ >>> req.str_POST
+ MultiDict([('a', 'b'), ('upload', FieldStorage('upload', 'test.html')), ('c', 'd')])
+ >>> req.body_file_raw
+ <FakeCGIBody at ... viewing MultiDict([('a'...d')])>
+ >>> sorted(req.str_POST.keys())
+ ['a', 'c', 'upload']
+ >>> print req.body.replace('\r', '') # doctestx: +REPORT_UDIFF
+ --foobar
+ Content-Disposition: form-data; name="a"
+ <BLANKLINE>
+ b
+ --foobar
+ Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload"; filename="test.html"
+ Content-type: text/html
+ <BLANKLINE>
+ <html>Some text...</html>
+ --foobar
+ Content-Disposition: form-data; name="c"
+ <BLANKLINE>
+ d
+ --foobar--
+
+FakeCGIBody have both readline and readlines methods:
+
+ >>> req_ = Request.blank('/posty')
+ >>> req_.method = 'POST'
+ >>> req_.content_type = 'multipart/form-data; boundary="foobar"'
+ >>> req_.body = '''\
+ ... --foobar
+ ... Content-Disposition: form-data; name="a"
+ ...
+ ... b
+ ... --foobar
+ ... Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload"; filename="test.html"
+ ... Content-Type: text/html
+ ...
+ ... <html>Some text...</html>
+ ... --foobar--
+ ... '''
+ >>> req_.str_POST
+ MultiDict([('a', 'b'), ('upload', FieldStorage('upload', 'test.html'))])
+ >>> print req_.body.replace('\r', '') # doctest: +REPORT_UDIFF
+ --foobar
+ Content-Disposition: form-data; name="a"
+ <BLANKLINE>
+ b
+ --foobar
+ Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload"; filename="test.html"
+ Content-type: text/html
+ <BLANKLINE>
+ <html>Some text...</html>
+ --foobar--
+ >>> req_.POST['c'] = 'd'
+ >>> req_.str_POST
+ MultiDict([('a', 'b'), ('upload', FieldStorage('upload', 'test.html')), ('c', 'd')])
+ >>> req_.body_file_raw.readline()
+ '--foobar\r\n'
+ >>> [n.replace('\r', '') for n in req_.body_file.readlines()]
+ ['Content-Disposition: form-data; name="a"\n', '\n', 'b\n', '--foobar\n', 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="upload"; filename="test.html"\n', 'Content-type: text/html\n', '\n', '<html>Some text...</html>\n', '--foobar\n', 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="c"\n', '\n', 'd\n', '--foobar--']
+
+Also reparsing works through the fake body:
+
+ >>> del req.environ['webob._parsed_post_vars']
+ >>> req.str_POST
+ MultiDict([('a', 'b'), ('upload', FieldStorage('upload', 'test.html')), ('c', 'd')])
+
+A ``BaseRequest`` class exists for the purpose of usage by web
+frameworks that want a less featureful ``Request``.
+
+For example, the ``Request`` class mutates the
+``environ['webob.adhoc_attrs']`` attribute when its ``__getattr__``,
+``__setattr__``, and ``__delattr__`` are invoked.
+
+The ``BaseRequest`` class omits the mutation annotation behavior
+provided by the default ``Request`` implementation. Instead, the of
+the ``BaseRequest`` class actually mutates the ``__dict__`` of the
+request instance itself.
+
+ >>> from webob import BaseRequest
+ >>> req = BaseRequest.blank('/')
+ >>> req.foo = 1
+ >>> req.environ['webob.adhoc_attrs']
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ ...
+ KeyError: 'webob.adhoc_attrs'
+ >>> req.foo
+ 1
+ >>> del req.foo
+ >>> req.foo

+str(req) returns the request as HTTP request string
+
+ >>> print req
