|**`request_uri`**|`const char *`| The absolute, relative or URL-encoded URI as it was sent in the request.  Example: "http://mydomain.com:8080/path/to/file.ext" or "/path/to/file.ext", depending on the client. |
|**`local_uri`**|`const char *`| The relative URL-encoded URI as it references the local resource. If the request URI does not reference a resource on the local server, this field is NULL.  Example: "/path/to/file.ext" (even if the client used "http://mydomain.com:8080/path/to/file.ext" in the request) |
|~~`uri`~~|`const char *`| *Deprecated. Use* `local_uri` *instead* |
|**`http_version`**|`const char *`| The HTTP version as mentioned in the client request. This can be "1.0", "1.1", etc. |
