void getCookies(
NameValueCollection & cookies
) const;

Fills cookies with the cookies extracted from the Cookie headers in the request.

getCredentials

void getCredentials(
std::string & scheme,
std::string & authInfo
) const;

Returns the authentication scheme and additional authentication information contained in this request.

Throws a NotAuthenticatedException if no authentication information is contained in the request.

getExpectContinue

bool getExpectContinue() const;
