def Library.IO.HTTP.Requests.AnHTTPRequest.__getitem__	(		Self,
			key
	)

Returns the named attribute.

This method is provided for convenience; it allows access to the AnHTTPRequest.query attribute, which is filled using the keys and values provided in AnHTTPRequest.queryString.

Note that this routine disallows retrieving non-existent keys from the query attributes list.

def Library.IO.HTTP.Requests.AnHTTPRequest.get

(

Self

)
