Makes HTTP request headers and body available to CFML pages. Useful for capturing SOAP request data, which can be delivered in an HTTP header.
A ColdFusion structure.
GetHttpRequestData()
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
content |
Raw content from form submitted by client, in string or binary format. For content to be considered string data, the FORM request header "CONTENT_TYPE" must start with "text/" or be special case "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". Other types are stored as a binary object. |
headers |
Structure that contains HTTP request headers as value pairs. Includes custom headers, such as SOAP requests. |
method |
String that contains the CGI variable Request_Method. |
protocol |
String that contains the Server_Protocol CGI variable. |
The structure returned by this function contains the following entries:
Note: To determine whether data is binary, use IsBinary(x.content).To convert data to a string value, if it can be displayed as a string, use toString(x.content).
The following example shows how this function can return HTTP header information.
<cfset x = GetHttpRequestData()>
