## About "Form Fields"

The way HTML forms (`<form></form>`) sends the data to the server normally uses a "special" encoding for that data, it's different from JSON.

**FastAPI** will make sure to read that data from the right place instead of JSON.

!!! note "Technical Details"
    Data from forms is normally encoded using the "media type" `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`.

## Security - HTTPS

In the [previous chapter about HTTPS](https.md){.internal-link target=_blank} we learned about how HTTPS provides encryption for your API.

We also saw that HTTPS is normally provided by a component **external** to your application server, a **TLS Termination Proxy**.

		return svc.Name
	}

	return "NA" // Shouldn't normally reach here
}

func serviceWaypointName(svc *ZtunnelService, services map[string]*ZtunnelService) string {
	if svc.Waypoint == nil {
		return "None"
	}

	if svc, ok := services[svc.Waypoint.Destination]; ok {
		return svc.Name
	}

	return "NA" // Shouldn't normally reach here

Although any other parameter declared normally (for example, the body with a Pydantic model) would still be validated, converted, annotated, etc.

But there are specific cases where it's useful to get the `Request` object.

## Use the `Request` object directly

    initializeData(out);

    data = baos.toByteArray();
  }

  private void initializeData(DataOutputStream out) throws IOException {
    /* Write out various test values NORMALLY */
    out.write(new byte[] {-100, 100});
    out.writeBoolean(true);
    out.writeBoolean(false);
    out.writeByte(100);
    out.writeByte(-100);
    out.writeByte((byte) 200);
    out.writeChar('a');

    initializeData(out);

    data = baos.toByteArray();
  }

  private void initializeData(DataOutputStream out) throws IOException {
    /* Write out various test values NORMALLY */
    out.write(new byte[] {-100, 100});
    out.writeBoolean(true);
    out.writeBoolean(false);
    out.writeByte(100);
    out.writeByte(-100);
    out.writeByte((byte) 200);
    out.writeChar('a');

 * @param <N> The most general node type this builder will support. This is normally {@code Object}
 *     unless it is constrained by using a method like {@link #nodeOrder}, or the builder is
 *     constructed based on an existing {@code ValueGraph} using {@link #from(ValueGraph)}.
 * @param <V> The most general value type this builder will support. This is normally {@code Object}

# OpenAPI

There are several utilities to handle OpenAPI.

When referring to the remote machine, it's common to call it **server**, but also **machine**, **VM** (virtual machine), **node**. Those all refer to some type of remote machine, normally running Linux, where you run programs.

## Install the Server Program

When you install FastAPI, it comes with a production server, Uvicorn, and you can start it with the `fastapi run` command.

```Python hl_lines="1  9  12"
{!../../../docs_src/response_change_status_code/tutorial001.py!}
```

And then you can return any object you need, as you normally would (a `dict`, a database model, etc).

And if you declared a `response_model`, it will still be used to filter and convert the object you returned.
