The request handler instance can access the request data using its request
property. This is initialized to a populated WebOb Request object by the application.
The request object provides a get() method that returns values for arguments parsed from the query and from POST data. The method takes the argument name as its first parameter. For example:
class MyHandler(webapp.RequestHandler): def post(self): name = self.request.get("name")
By default, get() returns the empty string (''
) if the requested argument is not in the request. If the parameter default_value
is specified, get() returns the value of that parameter instead of the empty string if the argument is not present.
If the argument appears more than once in a request, by default get() returns the first occurrence. To get all occurrences of an argument that might appear more than once as a list (possibly empty), give get() the argument allow_multiple=True
.
# <input name="name" type="text" /> name = self.request.get("name") # <input name="subscribe" type="checkbox" value="yes" /> subscribe_to_newsletter = self.request.get("subscribe", default_value="no") # <select name="favorite_foods" multiple="true">...</select> favorite_foods = self.request.get("favorite_foods", allow_multiple=True) for food in favorite_foods: # ...
For requests with body content that is not a set of CGI parameters, such as the body of an HTTP PUT request, the request object provides the attributes body
and body_file
. body
is the body content as a byte string. body_file
provides a file-like interface to the same data.
uploaded_file = self.request.body
