NAME HTTP::Tiny::UA - Higher-level UA features for HTTP::Tiny VERSION version 0.002 SYNOPSIS use HTTP::Tiny::UA; my $ua = HTTP::Tiny::UA->new( ... ); DESCRIPTION This module extends HTTP::Tiny with higher-level convenience features. METHODS new $http = HTTP::Tiny::UA->new( %attributes ); This is inherited from HTTP::Tiny. The only difference so far is that "agent" will be "HTTP-Tiny-UA/$VERSION". * "agent" A user-agent string (defaults to 'HTTP-Tiny-UA/$VERSION'). If "agent" ends in a space character, the default user-agent string is appended. * "cookie_jar" An instance of HTTP::CookieJar or equivalent class that supports the "add" and "cookie_header" methods * "default_headers" A hashref of default headers to apply to requests * "local_address" The local IP address to bind to * "max_redirect" Maximum number of redirects allowed (defaults to 5) * "max_size" Maximum response size (only when not using a data callback). If defined, responses larger than this will return an exception. * "proxy" URL of a proxy server to use (default is $ENV{http_proxy} if set) * "no_proxy" List of domain suffixes that should not be proxied. Must be a comma-separated string or an array reference. (default is $ENV{no_proxy}) * "timeout" Request timeout in seconds (default is 60) * "verify_SSL" A boolean that indicates whether to validate the SSL certificate of an "https" connection (default is false) * "SSL_options" A hashref of "SSL_*" options to pass through to IO::Socket::SSL See SSL SUPPORT in HTTP::Tiny for more on the "verify_SSL" and "SSL_options" attributes. get|head|put|post|post_form|mirror|delete These methods are inherited from HTTP::Tiny and work the same, except they invoke the HTTP::Tiny::UA request method and return a HTTP::Tiny::UA::Response object. request my $res = HTTP::Tiny->new->get( $url ); Just like HTTP::Tiny::request, but returns a HTTP::Tiny::UA::Reponse object. All other "get", "post", etc. methods eventually invoke this one so all such methods return response objects now. EXCEPTIONS Exceptions from "max_size", "timeout" or other error conditions will result in a pseudo-HTTP status code of 599 and a reason of "Internal Exception". The content field in the response will contain the text of the exception. CONTRIBUTING Unlike HTTP::Tiny, this module is open to additional features. Please discuss new ideas on the bug tracker for feedback before implementing. While this module is not strictly "Tiny", here are some general guidelines: * The goal for this module is not feature/API equivalence with LWP::UserAgent * Core module dependencies and "Tiny"-ish module dependencies are OK * Other CPAN modules should be used sparingly and only for good reasons * Any XS dependencies must be optional SEE ALSO * HTTP::Tiny — the underlying client * HTTP::Thin — another HTTP::Tiny extension that uses HTTP::Message objects * LWP::UserAgent — when you outgrow HTTP::Tiny, use this SUPPORT Bugs / Feature Requests Please report any bugs or feature requests through the issue tracker at .
