NAME

       Plack::Request::WithEncoding - Subclass of Plack::Request which supports encoding.

SYNOPSIS

           use Plack::Request::WithEncoding;

           my $app_or_middleware = sub {
               my $env = shift; # PSGI env

               # Example of $env
               #
               # $env = {
               #     QUERY_STRING   => 'query=%82%d9%82%b0', # <= encoded by 'cp932'
               #     REQUEST_METHOD => 'GET',
               #     HTTP_HOST      => 'example.com',
               #     PATH_INFO      => '/foo/bar',
               # };

               my $req = Plack::Request::WithEncoding->new($env);

               $req->env->{'plack.request.withencoding.encoding'} = 'cp932'; # <= specify the encoding method.

               my $query = $req->param('query'); # <= get parameters of 'query' that is decoded by 'cp932'.

               my $res = $req->new_response(200); # new Plack::Response
               $res->finalize;
           };

DESCRIPTION

       Plack::Request::WithEncoding is the subclass of Plack::Request.  This module supports the
       encoding for requests, the following attributes will return decoded request values.

       Please refer also "SPECIFICATION OF THE ENCODING METHOD".

ATTRIBUTES

       •   encoding

           Returns a encoding method to use to decode parameters.

       •   query_parameters

           Returns a reference to a hash containing decoded query string (GET) parameters. This
           hash reference is Hash::MultiValue object.

       •   body_parameters

           Returns a reference to a hash containing decoded posted parameters in the request body
           (POST). As with "query_parameters", the hash reference is a Hash::MultiValue object.

       •   parameters

           Returns a Hash::MultiValue hash reference containing decoded (and merged) GET and POST
           parameters.

       •   param

           Returns decoded GET and POST parameters with a CGI.pm-compatible param method. This is
           an alternative method for accessing parameters in "$req->parameters". Unlike CGI.pm,
           it does not allow setting or modifying query parameters.

               $value  = $req->param( 'foo' );
               @values = $req->param( 'foo' );
               @params = $req->param;

       •   raw_query_parameters

           This attribute is the same as "query_parameters" of Plack::Request.

       •   raw_body_parameters

           This attribute is the same as "body_parameters" of Plack::Request.

       •   raw_parameters

           This attribute is the same as "parameters" of Plack::Request.

       •   raw_param

           This attribute is the same as "param" of Plack::Request.

SPECIFICATION OF THE ENCODING METHOD

       You can specify the encoding method, like so;

           $req->env->{'plack.request.withencoding.encoding'} = 'utf-7'; # <= set utf-7

       And this encoding method will be used to decode.

       When not once substituted for "$req->env->{'plack.request.withencoding.encoding'}", this
       module will use "utf-8" as encoding method.  However the behavior of a program will become
       unclear if this function is used. Therefore YOU SHOULD NOT USE THIS.  You should specify
       the encoding method explicitly.

       In case of false value (e.g. `undef`, 0, '') is explicitly substituted for
       "$req->env->{'plack.request.withencoding.encoding'}", then this module will return raw
       value (with no encoding).

       The example of a code is shown below.

           print exists $req->env->{'plack.request.withencoding.encoding'} ? 'EXISTS'
                                                                           : 'NOT EXISTS'; # <= NOT EXISTS
           $query = $req->param('query'); # <= get parameters of 'query' that is decoded by 'utf-8' (*** YOU SHOULD NOT USE LIKE THIS ***)

           $req->env->{'plack.request.withencoding.encoding'} = undef; # <= explicitly specify the `undef`
           $query = $req->param('query'); # <= get parameters of 'query' that is not decoded (raw value)

           $req->env->{'plack.request.withencoding.encoding'} = 'cp932'; # <= specify the 'cp932' as encoding method
           $query = $req->param('query'); # <= get parameters of 'query' that is decoded by 'cp932'
