HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple(3pm)NAME
HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple - A class for creating simple filters
SYNOPSIS
use HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple;
# a simple User-Agent filter
my $filter = HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple->new(
sub { $_[1]->header( User_Agent => 'foobar/1.0' ); }
);
$proxy->push_filter( request => $filter );
DESCRIPTION
HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple can create BodyFilter without going through the hassle of creating a full-fledged class. Simply pass a
code reference to the filter() method of your filter to the constructor, and you'll get the adequate filter.
Constructor calling convention
The constructor is called with a single code reference. The code reference must conform to the standard filter() signature for header
filters:
sub filter { my ( $self, $headers, $message) = @_; ... }
This code reference is used for the filter() method.
METHODS
This filter "factory" defines the standard HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter methods, but those are only, erm, "proxies" to the actual CODE
references passed to the constructor. These "proxy" methods are:
filter()
begin()
end()
Two other methods are actually HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple methods, and are called automatically:
init()
Initalise the filter instance with the code references passed to the constructor.
can()
Return the actual code reference that will be run, and not the "proxy" methods. If called with any other name than "begin" and
"filter", it calls UNIVERSAL::can() instead.
