# Using the Request Directly

Up to now, you have been declaring the parts of the request that you need with their types.

Taking data from:

* The path as parameters.
* Headers.
* Cookies.
* etc.

And by doing so, **FastAPI** is validating that data, converting it and generating documentation for your API automatically.

But there are situations where you might need to access the `Request` object directly.

        val generatedTopLevelClassifiers = declarationGenerators
            .asSequence()
            .flatMap {
                // FIXME this function should be called only once during plugin's lifetime, so this usage is not really correct (2)
                it.getTopLevelClassIds()
            }
            .filter { it.packageFqName == packageFqName }
            .map { it.shortClassName }

Warning: the helm charts here default to using port 80 and 443, while the old charts used 8080 and 8443.
If you have AuthorizationPolicies that reference port these ports, you should update them during this process,
or customize the ports to match the old defaults.

### Installing the Chart (toy-setup)

Minimal toy setup for testing purposes can be deployed using:

```bash

* **Modify some DNS records**.
    * For this, the renewal program needs to support the APIs of the DNS provider, so, depending on the DNS provider you are using, this might or might not be an option.
* **Run as a server** (at least during the certificate acquisition process) on the public IP address associated with the domain.
    * As we said above, only one process can be listening on a specific IP and port.

    write/flush after response handler has returned.
