RequestConnectionPoint

interface RequestConnectionPoint

Represents request address information is used to make a call. There are at least two possible instances: “local” is how we see request at the server application and “actual” is what we can recover from proxy provided headers.

Properties

host	`abstract val host: String` Request host, useful for virtual hosts routing
method	`abstract val method: HttpMethod` Request HTTP method
port	`abstract val port: Int` Request port, for example 80 or 443
remoteHost	`abstract val remoteHost: String` Client address or host name (generally not resolved to name for performance reasons). For io.ktor.application.ApplicationRequest.local instance could point to a proxy our application running behind. NEVER use it for user authentication as it can be easily falsified (user can simply set some HTTP headers such as X-Forwarded-Host so you should NEVER rely on it in any security checks. If you are going to use it to create a back-connection please do it with care as an offender can easily use it to force you to connect to some host that is not intended to be connected to so that may cause serious consequences.
scheme	`abstract val scheme: String` Request scheme, for example “http” or “https”
uri	`abstract val uri: String` URI path with no host, port and no schema specification, but possibly with query
version	`abstract val version: String` Protocol version string
