/**
 * The <code>SlingHttpServletRequest</code> defines the interface to provide
 * client request information to a servlet.
 * <p>
 * <b>Request Parameters</b> Generally request parameters are transmitted as
 * part of the URL string such as <code>GET /some/path?<b>param=value</b></code>
 * or as request data of content type <i>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</i>
 * or <i>multipart/form-data</i>. The Sling Framework must decode parameters
 * transferred as request data and make them available through the various
 * parameter accessor methods. Generally parameters transferred as
 * <i>multipart/form-data</i> will be accessed by one of the methods returning
 * {@link RequestParameter} instances.
 * <p>
 * In any case, the {@link #getReader()} and {@link #getInputStream()} methods
 * will throw an <code>IllegalStateException</code> if called after any methods
 * returning request parameters if the request content type is either
 * <i>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</i> or <i>multipart/form-data</i>
 * because the request data has already been processed.
 * <p>
 * Starting with Sling API 2.0.6, this interface als extends the
 * {@link Adaptable} interface.
