The same way, you can define logic (code) that should be executed when the application is **shutting down**. In this case, this code will be executed **once**, **after** having handled possibly **many requests**.

    * A Python `datetime.datetime`.
    * In requests and responses will be represented as a `str` in ISO 8601 format, like: `2008-09-15T15:53:00+05:00`.
* `datetime.date`:
    * Python `datetime.date`.
    * In requests and responses will be represented as a `str` in ISO 8601 format, like: `2008-09-15`.
* `datetime.time`:
    * A Python `datetime.time`.

        return bytesReceived.get();
    }

    /**
     * Get number of requests sent
     *
     * @return requests sent
     */
    public long getRequestsSent() {
        return requestsSent.get();
    }

    /**
     * Get number of requests received
     *
     * @return requests received
     */
    public long getRequestsReceived() {
        return requestsReceived.get();

            executor.shutdown();

            // Some requests should be rejected due to backpressure
            assertTrue(rejectedCount.get() > 0, "Some requests should be rejected by backpressure");
            assertTrue(successCount.get() > 0, "Some requests should succeed");
            assertEquals(5, rejectedCount.get() + successCount.get(), "Total should be 5");

You can read more details about the <a href="https://www.starlette.io/requests/" class="external-link" target="_blank">`Request` object in the official Starlette documentation site</a>.

/// note | Technical Details

You could also use `from starlette.requests import Request`.

**FastAPI** provides it directly just as a convenience for you, the developer. But it comes directly from Starlette.

Here we use it to create a `GzipRequest` from the original request.

{* ../../docs_src/custom_request_and_route/tutorial001.py hl[18:26] *}

/// note | Technical Details

A `Request` has a `request.scope` attribute, that's just a Python `dict` containing the metadata related to the request.

### Decrypt the Request { #decrypt-the-request }

The TLS Termination Proxy would use the encryption agreed to **decrypt the request**, and would transmit the **plain (decrypted) HTTP request** to the process running the application (for example a process with Uvicorn running the FastAPI application).

### HTTP Response { #http-response }

Enforces that all incoming requests must either be `https` or `wss`.

Any incoming request to `http` or `ws` will be redirected to the secure scheme instead.

{* ../../docs_src/advanced_middleware/tutorial001.py hl[2,6] *}

## `TrustedHostMiddleware` { #trustedhostmiddleware }

Enforces that all incoming requests have a correctly set `Host` header, in order to guard against HTTP Host Header attacks.

The middleware responds to two particular types of HTTP request...

### CORS preflight requests { #cors-preflight-requests }

These are any `OPTIONS` request with `Origin` and `Access-Control-Request-Method` headers.

In this case the middleware will intercept the incoming request and respond with appropriate CORS headers, and either a `200` or `400` response for informational purposes.

### Simple requests { #simple-requests }

Then we can create an `AsyncClient` with the app, and send async requests to it, using `await`.

{* ../../docs_src/async_tests/test_main.py hl[9:12] *}

This is the equivalent to:

```Python
response = client.get('/')
```

...that we used to make our requests with the `TestClient`.

/// tip

Note that we're using async/await with the new `AsyncClient` - the request is asynchronous.
