www::mechanize::gzip
WWW::Mechanize::GZip(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation WWW::Mechanize::GZip(3pm)
NAME
WWW::Mechanize::GZip - tries to fetch webpages with gzip-compression
VERSION
Version 0.10
SYNOPSIS
use WWW::Mechanize::GZip;
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize::GZip->new();
my $response = $mech->get( $url );
print "x-content-length (before unzip) = ", $response->header('x-content-length');
print "content-length (after unzip) = ", $response->header('content-length');
DESCRIPTION
The WWW::Mechanize::GZip module tries to fetch a URL by requesting gzip-compression from the webserver.
If the response contains a header with 'Content-Encoding: gzip', it decompresses the response in order to get the original (uncompressed)
content.
This module will help to reduce bandwith fetching webpages, if supported by the webeserver. If the webserver does not support gzip-
compression, no decompression will be made.
This modules is a direct subclass of WWW::Mechanize and will therefore support any methods provided by WWW::Mechanize.
The decompression is handled by Compress::Zlib::memGunzip.
There is a small webform, you can instantly test, whether a webserver supports gzip-compression on a particular URL:
<http://www.computerhandlung.de/www-mechanize-gzip.htm>
METHODS
prepare_request
Adds 'Accept-Encoding' => 'gzip' to outgoing HTTP-headers before sending.
send_request
Unzips response-body if 'content-encoding' is 'gzip' and corrects 'content-length' to unzipped content-length.
