Remember, the ServletRequest is what was just transmitted across the wire
from your user's browser, and the ServletResponse is what you're about to
send to that same user's browser. It doesn't make sense to ask the
ServletResponse what the user sent you. If you need to change things when
you chain to another servlet, create your own implementation of
ServletRequest, copy the pertinent items from the user's ServletRequest and
chain to the other servlet. Of course, all this changes with JSDK 2.1
anyway.
