# Module `Ocsigen_request`

```ocaml
type t
```
```ocaml
type content_type = (string * string) * (string * string) list
```
```ocaml
type file_info = Ocsigen_multipart.file_info = {
  tmp_filename : string;
  filesize : int64;

```
```ocaml
type client_conn = [ 
  | `Inet of Ipaddr.t * int
  | `Unix of string
  | `Forwarded_for of string
  | `Unknown
 ]
```
Type of connection used by the client. ``Inet` means the client connected through the Internet. ``Forwarded_for` means that the client connected through a proxy and carries the IP address reported in the HTTP headers.
