##pending
- Syntax
ReadOnly *Boolean* Request::pending- Prototype property of
- Request
- Type
- Boolean

Indicates whether the request is not destroyed.
If it's `false`, the request can't be changed.
> [`Source`](/Neft-io/neft/blob/e79ebc2b61607e795a53c22d1577605addf00689/src/networking/request.litcoffee#readonly-boolean-requestpending)
##method
- Syntax
*String* Request::method- Prototype property of
- Request
- Type
- String
This property refers to one of the `Request.METHODS` values.
Holds a method with which the request has been called.

##uri
- Syntax
*Networking.Uri* Request::uri- Prototype property of
- Request
- Type
- Networking.Uri
Refers to the request URI path.
It can holds local and absolute paths.
```javascript
// for request sent to the server ...
"http://server.domain/auth/user"
// for got request on the server ...
"http://server.domain/auth/user"
// for local requests ...

##type
- Syntax
*String* Request::type- Prototype property of
- Request
- Type
- String
Describes the expected response type.
It's used in the server-client communication.
In most cases, a server returns a HTML document for a crawler, but client
(which renders documents on his own side) expects a clean JSON response.
That's why, these two requests have the same uri, but different expected types.
It refers to one of the *Request.TYPES* values.
