"""
The :mod:`request` module provides a :class:`Request` class used to wrap the standard `request`
object received in all the views.
The wrapped request then offers a richer API, in particular :
- content automatically parsed according to `Content-Type` header,
and available as :meth:`.DATA<Request.DATA>`
- full support of PUT method, including support for file uploads
- form overloading of HTTP method, content type and content
