I just wanted to add that if you use headers it will not show custom headers. For example, I set up a custom header named X-CSRF-Token which I send on every AJAX request, and this one won't show up in that hash. If you need to access custom headers, you will find them through request.env like:

post '/' do
  header_token = request.env["HTTP_X_CSRF_TOKEN"]
end

(Notice how rack changes X-CSRF-Token to HTTP_X_CSRF_TOKEN)
