Research direction

Start by tracing unmarshal_request and related functions, comparing how existing requests and Flask request objects are handled. Add equivalent support for azure.functions.HttpRequest so OpenAPI request payloads can be validated locally when deployed as an Azure Function, and verify the existing request handling remains supported.

Description

kind/enhancement
Suggested Behavior

Can unmarshal_request and related functions be extended to support azure.functions.HttpRequest objects, the same way requests or flask request objects are supported?

Why is this needed?

When deploying an OpenAPI-compliant app as an Azure function, it is convenient to be able to validate request payloads locally.
