====== HttpServletRequest ======
HttpServletRequest is an interface defined in the Java Servlet specification used to encapsulate an incoming  http request.
See [[http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest.html|J2EE API Documentation: HttpServletRequest ]]

In PHP, rather than being encapsulated in a single object, request handling is distributed over a wide variety of functions, configuration parameters and variables.  See [[Php:HTTP Request Handling]] for information on how PHP handles HTTP responses.
