Overview

Rack::Request provides a convenient interface to a Rack environment. It is stateless, the environment env passed to the constructor will be directly modified.

req = Rack::Request.new(env)
req.post?
req.params["data"]

The environment hash passed will store a reference to the Request object instantiated so that it will only instantiate if an instance of the Request object doesn’t already exist.
