"""
The :mod:`request` module provides a :class:`Request` class that can be used
to enhance the standard `request` object received in all the views.
This enhanced request object offers the following :
- content automatically parsed according to `Content-Type` header, and available as :meth:`request.DATA<Request.DATA>`
- full support of PUT method, including support for file uploads
- form overloading of HTTP method, content type and content
