+Accessing Request Information
+-----------------------------
+
+Every request has two main parts, the ``request`` and the ``response``. It's
+probably obvious why you'd want to access the response, but there might also be
+times where accessing the request's data members might prove useful, especially
+when creating a custom authentication implementation. In this case, as in
+others, you may want to access or change a part of the request.
+
+Consider a situation where you create make a request in one method, but use the
+``Requests`` object returned by your request in another.
+
+::
+
+ def mystery_request():
+ return requests.get('http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python')
+
+ def serious_code():
+ r = mystery_request()
+
+Now, we have this object ``r``, but how do we tell what's in it? We can't do
+much until we know what kind of request returned this content, so let's figure
+that out::
+
+ >>> r.request.method
+ 'GET'
+
+Every ``Requests`` object contains the full request object. Now that we know
+it's a ``GET``, we might want to know what headers we sent with it::
+
+ >>> r.request.headers
+ {'Accept-Encoding': 'identity, deflate, compress, gzip',
+ 'Accept': '*/*', 'User-Agent': 'python-requests/0.13.1'}
+
+We can also do this for POSTs, and any other request for that matter::
+
+ >>> r = requests.post('http://api.somedomain.org', data=some_data,
+ headers=some_headers)
+ >>> r.request.data == some_data
+ True
+
+``Request`` objects have the following attributes:
+
+ * allow_redirects
+ * auth
+ * cert
+ * config
+ * data
+ * files
+ * headers
+ * hooks
+ * method
+ * params
+ * prefetch
+ * proxies
+ * redirect
+ * sent
+ * session
+ * timeout
+ * url
+ * verify
+
