io::all::http

IO::All::HTTP(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					IO::All::HTTP(3pm)

NAME

       IO::All::LWP - Extends IO::All to HTTP URLs

SYNOPSIS

	   use IO::All;

	   $content < io('http://example.org'); 	    # GET webpage into scalar
	   io('http://example.org') > io('index.html');     # GET to file
	   "hello
" > io('http://example.org/index.html'); # PUT webpage

	   # two ways of getting a page with a password:
	   $content < io('http://me:secret@example.org');
	   $content < io('http://example.org')->user('me')->password('secret');

DESCRIPTION

       This module extends IO::All for dealing with HTTP URLs.	Note that you don't need to use it explicitly, as it is autoloaded by IO::All
       whenever it sees something that looks like an HTTP URL.

       The SYNOPSIS shows some simple typical examples, but there are many other interesting combinations with other IO::All features! For
       example, you can get an HTTP URL and write the content to a socket, or to an FTP URL, of to a DBM file.

METHODS

       This is a subclass of IO::All::LWP. The only new method is "http", which can be used to create a blank IO::All::HTTP object; or it can also
       take an HTTP URL as a parameter. Note that in most cases it is simpler just to call io('http://example.com'), which calls the "http" method
       automatically.

OPERATOR OVERLOADING

       The same operators from IO::All may be used. < GETs an HTTP URL; > PUTs to an HTTP URL.

SEE ALSO

       IO::All, IO::All::LWP, LWP.
