43 Catalyst::Request::REST - A REST-y subclass of Catalyst::Request
47 if ( $c->request->accepts('application/json') ) {
51 my $types = $c->request->accepted_content_types();
55 This is a subclass of C<Catalyst::Request> that applies the
56 L<Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST> which adds a few methods to
57 the request object to faciliate writing REST-y code.
59 This class is only here for backwards compatibility with applications
60 already subclassing this class.
62 L<Catalyst::Action::REST> and L<Catalyst::Controller::REST> will arrange
63 for the request trait to be applied if needed.
67 L<Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST>.
71 See L<Catalyst::Action::REST> for authors.
