Returns an enumeration of the Accept: content types in the request. The enumeration returns String objects that contain the acceptable media content type for the response. To get the q values for a particular content type, use the getAcceptTypeQValues() method.

 public static InputStream getInputStream()

Gets an InputStream from which you can read the raw content supplied with the request. Each call creates a new InputStream on the HTTP content (if any).
