- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### DelegatingRequest

          public DelegatingRequest()

      No-arg constructor. It should only be used for testing purposes.

    - #### DelegatingRequest

          public DelegatingRequest​(Request request)

      Constructor that receives a Request.
      Parameters:
        `request` - a `Request`. It cannot be null.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setRequest

          public void setRequest​(Request request)

      Sets the delegate request.
      Parameters:
        `request` - a `Request`. It cannot be null.

    - #### getAttribute

          public Object getAttribute​(String name)

      Description copied from interface: `Request`
      Returns the value of the named attribute as an `Object`, or `null` if no attribute of the given name exists. Because this method is a wrapper around `ServletRequest.getAttribute(String)`, it is case sensitive (unlike most of Tapestry).
      Specified by:
        `getAttribute` in interface `Request`
      Parameters:
        `name` - a `String` specifying the name of the attribute
      Returns:
        an `Object` containing the value of the attribute, or `null` if the attribute does not exist

    - #### getAttributeNames

          public List<String> getAttributeNames()

      Description copied from interface: `Request`
      Returns a sorted list of attribute names.
      Specified by:
        `getAttributeNames` in interface `Request`

    - #### getContextPath

          public String getContextPath()

      Description copied from interface: `Request`
      Returns the context path. This always starts with a "/" character and does not end with one, with the exception of servlets in the root context, which return the empty string.
      Specified by:
        `getContextPath` in interface `Request`

    - #### getDateHeader

          public long getDateHeader​(String name)

      Description copied from interface: `Request`
      Returns the value of the specified request header as a `long` value that represents a `Date` object. Use this method with headers that contain dates, such as `If-Modified-Since` . The date is returned as the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 GMT. The header name is case insensitive. If the request did not have a header of the specified name, this method returns -1. If the header can't be converted to a date, the method throws an `IllegalArgumentException`.
      Specified by:
        `getDateHeader` in interface `Request`
      Parameters:
        `name` - a `String` specifying the name of the header
      Returns:
        a `long` value representing the date specified in the header expressed as the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 GMT, or -1 if the named header was not included with the reqest

          public String getPath()

      Description copied from interface: `Request`
      Returns the path portion of the request, which starts with a "/" and contains everything up to the start of the query parameters. It doesn't include the context path.

    - #### getServerName

          public String getServerName()

      Description copied from interface: `Request`

      Parameters:
        `create` - true to force the creation of the session

        true if the request included a session id that is still active, false if the included session id has expired

    - #### isSecure

          public boolean isSecure()

      Description copied from interface: `Request`
      Returns a boolean indicating whether this request was made using a secure channel, such as HTTPS.

    - #### isXHR

          public boolean isXHR()

      Description copied from interface: `Request`
      Returns true if the request originated on the client using XmlHttpRequest (the core of any Ajax behavior). Ajax action requests may behave quite differently than ordinary, page-based requests. This implementation currently depends on the client side setting a header: X-Requested-With=XMLHttpRequest (this is what Prototype does).
      Specified by:
        `isXHR` in interface `Request`
      Returns:
        true if the request has an XmlHttpRequest origin

    - #### setAttribute

      Description copied from interface: `Request`
      Stores an attribute in this request. Attributes are reset between requests (and remember that in Tapestry, there is usually two requests per operation: the action request that redirects to a render request).
      Specified by:
        `setAttribute` in interface `Request`
      Parameters:
        `name` - a `String` specifying the name of the attribute
        `value` - the `Object` to be stored, or null to remove the attribute

    - #### getLocalPort

          public int getLocalPort()

      Description copied from interface: `Request`
      Returns the Internet Protocol (IP) port number of the interface on which the request was received.
      Specified by:
        `getLocalPort` in interface `Request`
      Returns:
        an integer specifying the port number

    - #### getServerPort

          public int getServerPort()

      Description copied from interface: `Request`
      Returns the port number to which the request was sent. It is the value of the part after ":" in the `Host` header, if any, or the server port where the client connection was accepted on.
      Specified by:
        `getServerPort` in interface `Request`
      Returns:
        an integer specifying the port number

    - #### getRemoteHost

          public String getRemoteHost()

      Description copied from interface: `Request`
      Returns the fully qualified name of the client or the last proxy that sent the request. If the engine cannot or chooses not to resolve the hostname (to improve performance), this method returns the dotted-string form of the IP address.
      Specified by:
        `getRemoteHost` in interface `Request`
      Returns:
        a `String` containing the fully qualified name of the client

    - #### isSessionInvalidated

          public boolean isSessionInvalidated()
