Rails: env is deprecated and will be removed from Rails 5.1

[ianks]

It seems env is finally being deprecated in 5.1

What is the best way to access fields that I would have previously needed from env? For example, an Authorization header that does not exist on the headers hash?

To those wondering, using request.env seems to be the way to go.
