Fixed #8092, #3828 -- Removed dictionary access for request objects so that GET and POST data doesn't "overwrite" request attributes when used in templates (since dictionary lookup is performed before attribute lookup). This is backwards-incompatible if you were using the request object for dictionary access to the combined GET and POST data, but you should use `request.REQUEST` for that instead.

 Methods
 -------
 
-``__getitem__(key)``
-   Returns the GET/POST value for the given key, checking POST first, then
-   GET. Raises ``KeyError`` if the key doesn't exist.
-
-   This lets you use dictionary-accessing syntax on an ``HttpRequest``
-   instance. Example: ``request["foo"]`` would return ``True`` if either
-   ``request.POST`` or ``request.GET`` had a ``"foo"`` key.
-
-``has_key()``
-   Returns ``True`` or ``False``, designating whether ``request.GET`` or
-   ``request.POST`` has the given key.
