Version: 3.34.0

The Request() constructor creates a newRequest object.

Syntax​

new Request(input)
new Request(input, options)

Parameters​

• input

  • : Defines the resource that you wish to fetch. This can either be:
    * A string containing the direct URL of the resource you want to fetch.
    * A Request object, effectively creating a copy.

• options optional

  • : An object containing any custom settings that you want to apply to the request. The possible options are:
    * method
    * : The request method, e.g., GET, POST. The default is GET.
    * headers
    * : Any headers you want to add to your request, contained within a Headers object or an object literal with String values.
    * body
    * : Any body that you want to add to your request: this can be an ArrayBuffer, a TypedArray, a DataView, a URLSearchParams, string object or literal, a ReadableStream object, a Blob object, or a FormData object.
    * backend Fastly-specific
    * cacheOverride Fastly-specific, see CacheOverride.
    * cacheKey Fastly-specific
    * manualFramingHeaders: boolean optional Fastly-specific
    * : The default value is false, which means that the framing headers are automatically created based on the message body. In "automatic" mode, a Content-Length is used when the size of the body can be determined before it is sent. Requests sent in streaming mode, where headers are sent immediately but the content of the body is streamed later, will receive a Transfer-Encoding: chunked to accommodate the dynamic generation of the body. In "manual" mode, any Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding headers will be honored. You must ensure that those headers have correct values permitted by the HTTP/1.1 specification. If the provided headers are not permitted by the specification, the headers will revert to "automatic" mode and a diagnostic message will be logged about what was wrong. If a Content-Length is permitted by the specification, but the value does not match the size of the actual body, the body will either be truncated (if it is too long), or the connection will be hung up early (if it is too short).
    * fastly Fastly-specific
    * decompressGzip: boolean optional
    * Whether to automatically gzip decompress the Response or not.
