Question

If I write a view as
def view(request):

What is type of the request (Django Object)? What are it’s expected contents (is it a HTTP stream???)? What does the request look like esp after it has been dispatched by URLDispacther

Answer 1

Next time be more specific about what you need, iandotkelly is right.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/request-response/

From the docs:

When a page is requested, Django creates an HttpRequest object that
contains metadata about the request. Then Django loads the appropriate
view, passing the HttpRequest as the first argument to the view
function. Each view is responsible for returning an HttpResponse
object.
