HTTP request/response objects HTTP request/response objects
----------------------------- -----------------------------
Dictionary access to ``HttpRequest``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``HttpRequest`` objects no longer directly support dictionary-style
access; previously, both ``GET`` and ``POST`` data were directly
available on the ``HttpRequest`` object (e.g., you could check for a
piece of form data by using ``if 'some_form_key' in request`` or by
reading ``request['some_form_key']``. This is no longer supported; if
you need access to the combined ``GET`` and ``POST`` data, use
``request.REQUEST`` instead.
It is strongly suggested, however, that you always explicitly look in
the appropriate dictionary for the type of request you expect to
receive (``request.GET`` or ``request.POST``); relying on the combined
``request.REQUEST`` dictionary can mask the origin of incoming data.
