getting javax.servlet.HttpServletRequest out of cocoon request

[Pratik Das]

Is there any way to get hold of an HttpServletRequest object out of org.apache.cocoon.environment.Request.
I am using a third party api to fetch browser information and the bean method takes HttpServletRequest object as input parameter. Although I have access to all HttpServletRequest  properties through org.apache.cocoon.environment.Request. in my action, the absence of HttpServletRequest is making the bean ineffective.
