Http2ServerRequest - http2 - Node documentation
class Http2ServerRequest
extends stream.Readable

Usage in Deno

import { Http2ServerRequest } from "node:http2";

A Http2ServerRequest object is created by Server or SecureServer and passed as the first argument to the 'request' event. It may be used to access a request status, headers, and data.

Constructors

new
Http2ServerRequest(
options: stream.ReadableOptions,
rawHeaders: readonly string[],
)

Properties

readonly
aborted: boolean

The request.aborted property will be true if the request has been aborted.

readonly
authority: string

The request authority pseudo header field. Because HTTP/2 allows requests to set either :authority or host, this value is derived from req.headers[':authority'] if present. Otherwise, it is derived from req.headers['host'].

readonly
complete: boolean

The request.complete property will be true if the request has been completed, aborted, or destroyed.

deprecated
readonly
connection: net.Socket | tls.TLSSocket

See request.socket.

The request/response headers object.

Key-value pairs of header names and values. Header names are lower-cased.

// Prints something like:
//
// { 'user-agent': 'curl/7.22.0',
//   host: '127.0.0.1:8000',
//   accept: '*' }
console.log(request.headers);

See HTTP/2 Headers Object.

In HTTP/2, the request path, host name, protocol, and method are represented as special headers prefixed with the : character (e.g. ':path'). These special headers will be included in the request.headers object. Care must be taken not to inadvertently modify these special headers or errors may occur. For instance, removing all headers from the request will cause errors to occur:

removeAllHeaders(request.headers);
assert(request.url);   // Fails because the :path header has been removed
readonly
httpVersion: string

In case of server request, the HTTP version sent by the client. In the case of client response, the HTTP version of the connected-to server. Returns '2.0'.

Also message.httpVersionMajor is the first integer and message.httpVersionMinor is the second.

readonly
httpVersionMajor: number
readonly
httpVersionMinor: number
readonly
method: string

The request method as a string. Read-only. Examples: 'GET', 'DELETE'.

readonly
rawHeaders: string[]

The raw request/response headers list exactly as they were received.

The keys and values are in the same list. It is not a list of tuples. So, the even-numbered offsets are key values, and the odd-numbered offsets are the associated values.

Header names are not lowercased, and duplicates are not merged.

// Prints something like:
//
// [ 'user-agent',
//   'this is invalid because there can be only one',
//   'User-Agent',
//   'curl/7.22.0',
//   'Host',
//   '127.0.0.1:8000',
//   'ACCEPT',
//   '*' ]
console.log(request.rawHeaders);
readonly
rawTrailers: string[]

The raw request/response trailer keys and values exactly as they were received. Only populated at the 'end' event.

readonly
scheme: string

The request scheme pseudo header field indicating the scheme portion of the target URL.

readonly
socket: net.Socket | tls.TLSSocket

Returns a Proxy object that acts as a net.Socket (or tls.TLSSocket) but applies getters, setters, and methods based on HTTP/2 logic.

destroyed, readable, and writable properties will be retrieved from and set on request.stream.

destroy, emit, end, on and once methods will be called on request.stream.

setTimeout method will be called on request.stream.session.

pause, read, resume, and write will throw an error with code ERR_HTTP2_NO_SOCKET_MANIPULATION. See Http2Session and Sockets for more information.

All other interactions will be routed directly to the socket. With TLS support, use request.socket.getPeerCertificate() to obtain the client's authentication details.

The Http2Stream object backing the request.

The request/response trailers object. Only populated at the 'end' event.

url: string

Request URL string. This contains only the URL that is present in the actual HTTP request. If the request is:

GET /status?name=ryan HTTP/1.1
Accept: text/plain

Then request.url will be:

'/status?name=ryan'

To parse the url into its parts, new URL() can be used:

$ node
> new URL('/status?name=ryan', 'http://example.com')
URL {
  href: 'http://example.com/status?name=ryan',
  origin: 'http://example.com',
  protocol: 'http:',
  username: '',
  password: '',
  host: 'example.com',
  hostname: 'example.com',
  port: '',
  pathname: '/status',
  search: '?name=ryan',
  searchParams: URLSearchParams { 'name' => 'ryan' },
  hash: ''
}

setTimeout(
msecs: number,
callback?: () => void,
): void

Sets the Http2Stream's timeout value to msecs. If a callback is provided, then it is added as a listener on the 'timeout' event on the response object.

If no 'timeout' listener is added to the request, the response, or the server, then Http2Streams are destroyed when they time out. If a handler is assigned to the request, the response, or the server's 'timeout'events, timed out sockets must be handled explicitly.
