/**
* Fetches and returns a request array.
*
* The default behaviour is fetching variables depending on the
* current request method: GET and HEAD will result in returning
* $_GET, POST and PUT will result in returning $_POST.
*
* You can force the source by setting the $hash parameter:
*
* post $_POST
* get $_GET
* files $_FILES
* cookie $_COOKIE
* env $_ENV
* server $_SERVER
* method via current $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']
* default $_REQUEST
*
* @static
* @param string $hash to get (POST, GET, FILES, METHOD)
* @param int $mask Filter mask for the variable
* @return mixed Request hash
* @since 1.1
