HTTP::Request - HTTP style request message SYNOPSIS
require HTTP::Request; $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://www.example.com/'); and usually used like this: $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; $response = $ua->request($request); DESCRIPTION
"HTTP::Request" is a class encapsulating HTTP style requests, consisting of a request line, some headers, and a content body. Note that the LWP library uses HTTP style requests even for non-HTTP protocols. Instances of this class are usually passed to the request() method of an "LWP::UserAgent" object. "HTTP::Request" is a subclass of "HTTP::Message" and therefore inherits its methods. The following additional methods are available: $r = HTTP::Request->new( $method, $uri ) $r = HTTP::Request->new( $method, $uri, $header ) $r = HTTP::Request->new( $method, $uri, $header, $content ) Constructs a new "HTTP::Request" object describing a request on the object $uri using method $method. The $method argument must be a string. The $uri argument can be either a string, or a reference to a "URI" object. The optional $header argument should be a reference to an "HTTP::Headers" object or a plain array reference of key/value pairs. The optional $content argument should be a string of bytes. $r = HTTP::Request->parse( $str ) This constructs a new request object by parsing the given string. $r->method $r->method( $val ) This is used to get/set the method attribute. The method should be a short string like "GET", "HEAD", "PUT" or "POST". $r->uri $r->uri( $val ) This is used to get/set the uri attribute. The $val can be a reference to a URI object or a plain string. If a string is given, then it should be parseable as an absolute URI. $r->header( $field ) $r->header( $field => $value ) This is used to get/set header values and it is inherited from "HTTP::Headers" via "HTTP::Message". See HTTP::Headers for details and other similar methods that can be used to access the headers. $r->accept_decodable This will set the "Accept-Encoding" header to the list of encodings that decoded_content() can decode. $r->content $r->content( $bytes ) This is used to get/set the content and it is inherited from the "HTTP::Message" base class. See HTTP::Message for details and other methods that can be used to access the content. Note that the content should be a string of bytes. Strings in perl can contain characters outside the range of a byte. The "Encode" module can be used to turn such strings into a string of bytes. $r->as_string $r->as_string( $eol ) Method returning a textual representation of the request. SEE ALSO
