The Request Object

The Request object is the one who has been pruned the most from the Cocoon Environment. The sections that were pruned were:

• URI handling
• Session handling

NOTE(SM/RR): Session handling has been removed in favor of the cocoon object and URI handling has been removed because unnecessary. I'm aware this is a big statement, please see below of why this is so.
