NAME

       HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines - A filter that outputs only complete lines

SYNOPSIS

	   use HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines;
	   use MyFilter;    # this filter only works on complete lines

	   my $filter = MyFilter->new();

	   # stack both filters so that they'll handle text/* responses
	   $proxy->push_filter(
	       mime	=> 'text/*',
	       response => HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines->new,
	       response => $filter
	   );

	   # I want my lines to end with '!'
	   # This is equivalent to $/ = '!' in a normal Perl program
	   my $lines = HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines->new('!');

DESCRIPTION

       The HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines filter makes sure that the next filter in the filter chain will only receive complete lines. The
       "chunks" of data received by the following filters with either end with "
" or will be the last piece of data for the current HTTP message
       body.

       You can change the idea the filter has of what is a line by passing to its constructor the string it should understand as line ending. "
"
       is the default value.

	   my $filter = HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines->new( $sep );

       This is similar to modifying $/ in a Perl program. In fact, this filter has a behaviour so similar to modifying $/ that it also knows about
       "paragraph mode" and "record mode".

       Note that the "slurp" mode is not supported. Please use HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::complete to enable the generic store and forward filter
       mechanism.

METHODS

       This filter defines the following methods, which are automatically called:

       init()
	   Initialise the filter with the EOL information.

       filter()
	   Keeps unfinished lines for later.

       will_modify()
	   This method returns a false value, thus indicating to the system that it will not modify data passing through.
