NAME

       POE::Component::Client::HTTP::Request - an HTTP request class

VERSION

       version 0.947

SYNOPSIS

	 # Used internally by POE::Component::Client::HTTP

DESCRIPTION

       POE::Component::Client::HTTP::Request encapsulates the state of requests POE::Component::Client::HTTP requests throughout their life
       cycles.	There turns out to be a lot of state to manage.

CONSTRUCTOR

   new NAMED_PARAMETERS
       Create a POE::Component::Client::HTTP object to manage a request.  The constructor takes several named parameters:

       Request => HTTP_REQUEST
	 A POE::Component::Client::HTTP::Request object encapsulates a plain HTTP::Request.  Required.

       Factory => POE_COMPONENT_CLIENT_HTTP_REQUESTFACTORY
	 The request may create additional requests during its lifetime, for example when following redirects.	The Factory parameter specifies
	 the POE::Component::Client::HTTP::RequestFactory that may be used to create them.  Required.

       Postback => RESPONSE_POSTBACK
	 POE::Component::Client::HTTP creates a postback that will be used to send responses to the requesting session.  Required.

       Progress => PROGRESS_POSTBACK
	 Sets the progress notification if the user has requested progress events.  Optional.

       Proxy
	 Sets the proxy used for this request, if requested by the user.  Optional.

METHODS

   ID
       Return the request's unique ID.

   return_response
       Sends a response back to the user's session.  Called by POE::Component::Client::HTTP when a complete response has arrived.

   add_eof
       Called by POE::Component::Client::HTTP to indicate EOF has arrived.

   add_content PARSED_DATA
       Called by POE::Component::Client::HTTP to add content data to an incrementally built response.  If PARSED_DATA is an object, it is treated
       like an HTTP::Headers object and its headers are assimilated into the response being built by the request.  Otherwise the PARSED_DATA is
       appended to the response's content.

   timer TIMER
       Accessor to manipulate the request's timeout timer.  Sets the request's timer if TIMER is specified, otherwise merely fetches the one
       currently associated with the request.

   create_timer TIMEOUT
       Creates and sets a timer for this request.  TIMEOUT is the number of seconds this request may live.

   remove_timeout
       Turn off the timer associated with this request, and discard it.

   postback POSTBACK
       Accessor to manipulate the postback associated with this request.  Sets the postback if POSTBACK is defined, otherwise merely fetches it.

   does_redirect SOMETHING
       FIXME - Not sure what this accessor does.

   check_redirect
       Check whether the last response is a redirect, the request is permitted to follow redirects, and the maximum number of redirects has not
       been met.  Initiate a redirect if all conditions are favorable.

   send_to_wheel
       Transmit the request to the socket associated with this request.

   wheel
       An accessor to return the wheel associated with this request.

   error ERROR_CODE, ERROR_MESSAGE
       Generate an error response, and post it back to the user's session.

   connect_error CONNECT_FAILURE_MESSAGE
       Generate a connection error response, and post it back to the user's session.

   host
       Return the host this request is attempting to work with.

   port
       Return the port this request is attempting to work with.

   scheme
