Interface: GoatRequest

Defined in: net/server/http-compat.ts:320

A cross-platform request wrapper that provides a consistent interface for handling HTTP requests across different runtimes (Deno, Node.js HTTP/1.1, Node.js HTTP/2).

This class normalizes the differences between:

• Deno/web standard Request
• Node.js HTTP/1.1 IncomingMessage
• Node.js HTTP/2 Http2ServerRequest

It provides a web-standard interface with properties like url, method, headers, and body, along with helper methods for common operations.
