$req->getCookie('sessid'); // get the "sessid" cookie value
$req->getPost('pass'); // get the "pass" POST parameter value
$req->getPrefferedResponseLanguage(); // get the preffered response language
// if a parameter is missing a default you pass in can be returned
$req->getQuery('missing', 'default'); // now $a contains "default"
// return values can also be filtered (all filters are listed in the docs)
$req->getPost('user_id', null, 'int');
// you can also get the whole array of parameters
