I just wondered if there is a very easy way (best: a simple $this->container->isGet() I can call) to determine whether the request is a $_POST or a $_GET request.

According to the docs,

A Request object holds information about the client request. This information can be accessed via several public properties:

• request: equivalent of $_POST;
• query: equivalent of $_GET ($request->query->get('name'));

But I won't be able to use if($request->request) or if($request->query) to check, because both are existing attributes in the Request class.

So I was wondering of Symfony offers something like the

$this->container->isGet();
// or isQuery() or isPost() or isRequest();

mentioned above?
