How do you access the request/response from an app router page?

In the pages router, you could create a getStaticProps function, which would then feed props into your component function. getStaticProps in turn got an argument of the request and response objects, so you could pass any information you wanted from them to your page.

In the app router, there is no longer a getStaticProps function: you're just supposed to fetch your data from the component function. However, the component function doesn't get passed the request/response, so it seems impossible to access them now.

Is there some other mechanism to access the request/response objects in the latest version of Next.js?

Based on jonrsharpe's comment, it looks like there no longer is a way to access the request from a page.

You can use an API route instead (which does get the full request), or you can use the headers and cookies functions (from the next/headers package) to access just those parts of the request ... but it seems it's impossible to get any other information from the request, or to get the request object itself.
