🎀 NAME

request-body — it's giving (request-data) 💅

---

💖 PURPOSE

Bestie, we're grabbing the body of an HTTP request. That's it. That's the whole job. ✨

---

🌸 SYNTAX

request-body <request body>

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION

Okay so request-body takes the body of an HTTP request and tucks it into the string <request body>. Iconic, no notes. 💖

Now here's the tea: if the content type of the request is "multipart/form-data", the request body comes back empty. Not a glitch, not a bug — it's because literally all the data (including any attached files, yes even those) can be snagged using get-param instead (peep file-uploading if you're here for the files 📎). In every other case? The request body is available. Periodt.

Typical use of request-body is when some text or binary info is attached to the request — JSON is the classic example, but honestly it can be anything else, like an image, some text, or a PDF document. The vibes are flexible. 🌈

Usually the request body is present for POST, PUT or PATCH requests, but you can also obtain it for GET or DELETE requests if it's supplied (for instance, identifying a resource may require more information than can fit in a query string, iykyk), or for any custom request method you feel like inventing. Main character energy, truly. 👑

🔥 EXAMPLES

String variable "reqb" will hold request body of a request:

request-body reqb
