HTTP Request via Schema

Addition of fields to the GraphQL schema to retrieve the current HTTP request data.

List of fields

The following fields are added to the schema:

_httpRequestBody

Body of the HTTP request.

_httpRequestClientHost

Client host.

_httpRequestClientIP

Retrieves the client IP address. If the server is not properly configured (see below), the response is null.

Configuration

The client's IP address is retrieved from under the $_SERVER global variable, normally from under property 'REMOTE_ADDR'. However, different platforms may require to use a different property name to retrieve this information.

For instance:

  • Cloudflare might use 'HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP'
  • AWS might use 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'

The property name to use can be configured in the "Plugin Configuration > Server IP Configuration" tab on the Settings page:

Configuring the $_SERVER property name to retrieve the client IP
Configuring the $_SERVER property name to retrieve the client IP

_httpRequestCookie

Request cookie value.

_httpRequestCookies

Request cookies.

_httpRequestDomain

Domain of the requested URL.

_httpRequestFullURL

Requested URL (including the query params).

_httpRequestHasCookie

Does the request contain a certain cookie?.

_httpRequestHasHeader

Does the request contain a certain header?.

_httpRequestHasParam

Does the request contain a certain parameter?.

_httpRequestHeader

Request header value.

_httpRequestHeaders

Request headers.

_httpRequestHost

Host of the requested URL.

_httpRequestMethod

Request method.

_httpRequestParams

JSON object with all the params (passed via POST or GET).

Param values can be:

  • Strings: ?param=value
  • Arrays: ?someArray[]=1&someArray[]=2
  • Array of arrays: ?someMatrix[0][0]=3&someMatrix[0][1]=4&someMatrix[1][0]=5&someMatrix[1][1]=6
  • Associative arrays (i.e. objects): ?someAssocArray["admins"]=20&someAssocArray["authors"]=30
  • Associative array of arrays: ?someAssocMatrix["admins"][0]=7&someAssocMatrix["admins"][1]=8&someAssocMatrix["authors"][0]=9&someAssocMatrix["authors"][1]=10
  • Other combinations

To get the value of the param, we can use fields _httpRequestStringParam and _httpRequestStringListParam for the first two cases respectively, but there are no fields for the other cases.

For those, use this field _httpRequestParams to obtain the JSON object, and then retrieve the corresponding value from within.

_httpRequestProtocol

Request protocol.

_httpRequestQuery

Query params string.

_httpRequestReferer

Request referer.

_httpRequestRequestTime

Timestamp of the start of the request.

_httpRequestScheme

Scheme of the requested URL.

_httpRequestServerIP

Server IP address.

_httpRequestStringListParam

Value of a param (passed via POST or GET) of type ?param[]=value1&param[]=value2.

_httpRequestStringParam

Value of a param (passed via POST or GET) of type ?param=value.

_httpRequestURL

Requested URL (without query params).

_httpRequestURLPath

Asolute path (starting with "/") of the requested URL.

_httpRequestUserAgent

User agent.
