"""
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
