13 =head1 DESCRIPTION
14
15 This module is an L<AnyEvent> user, you need to make sure that you use and
16 run a supported event loop.
17
18 This module implements a simple, stateless and non-blocking HTTP
19 client. It supports GET, POST and other request methods, cookies and more,
20 all on a very low level. It can follow redirects supports proxies and
21 automatically limits the number of connections to the values specified in
22 the RFC.
23
24 It should generally be a "good client" that is enough for most HTTP
25 tasks. Simple tasks should be simple, but complex tasks should still be
26 possible as the user retains control over request and response headers.
27
28 The caller is responsible for authentication management, cookies (if
29 the simplistic implementation in this module doesn't suffice), referer
30 and other high-level protocol details for which this module offers only
31 limited support.

73 =item http_get $url, key => value..., $cb->($data, $headers)
74
75 Executes an HTTP-GET request. See the http_request function for details on
76 additional parameters and the return value.
77
78 =item http_head $url, key => value..., $cb->($data, $headers)
79
80 Executes an HTTP-HEAD request. See the http_request function for details
81 on additional parameters and the return value.
82
83 =item http_post $url, $body, key => value..., $cb->($data, $headers)
84
85 Executes an HTTP-POST request with a request body of C<$body>. See the
86 http_request function for details on additional parameters and the return
87 value.
88
89 =item http_request $method => $url, key => value..., $cb->($data, $headers)
90
91 Executes a HTTP request of type C<$method> (e.g. C<GET>, C<POST>). The URL
92 must be an absolute http or https URL.
93
94 When called in void context, nothing is returned. In other contexts,
95 C<http_request> returns a "cancellation guard" - you have to keep the
96 object at least alive until the callback get called. If the object gets
97 destroyed before the callbakc is called, the request will be cancelled.
98
99 The callback will be called with the response data as first argument
100 (or C<undef> if it wasn't available due to errors), and a hash-ref with
101 response headers as second argument.
102
103 All the headers in that hash are lowercased. In addition to the response
104 headers, the "pseudo-headers" C<HTTPVersion>, C<Status> and C<Reason>
105 contain the three parts of the HTTP Status-Line of the same name. The
106 pseudo-header C<URL> contains the original URL (which can differ from the
107 requested URL when following redirects).
108
109 If the server sends a header multiple lines, then their contents will be
110 joined together with C<\x00>.
111
112 If an internal error occurs, such as not being able to resolve a hostname,
113 then C<$data> will be C<undef>, C<< $headers->{Status} >> will be C<599>
114 and the C<Reason> pseudo-header will contain an error message.
115
116 A typical callback might look like this:
117
118 sub {
119 my ($body, $hdr) = @_;
120
121 if ($hdr->{Status} =~ /^2/) {
122 ... everything should be ok
123 } else {
124 print "error, $hdr->{Status} $hdr->{Reason}\n";
125 }
126 }
127
128 Additional parameters are key-value pairs, and are fully optional. They
129 include:
130
131 =over 4
132
133 =item recurse => $count (default: $MAX_RECURSE)
134
135 Whether to recurse requests or not, e.g. on redirects, authentication
136 retries and so on, and how often to do so.
137
138 =item headers => hashref
139
140 The request headers to use. Currently, C<http_request> may provide its
141 own C<Host:>, C<Content-Length:>, C<Connection:> and C<Cookie:> headers
142 and will provide defaults for C<User-Agent:> and C<Referer:>.
143
144 =item timeout => $seconds
145
146 The time-out to use for various stages - each connect attempt will reset
147 the timeout, as will read or write activity. Default timeout is 5 minutes.
148
149 =item proxy => [$host, $port[, $scheme]] or undef
150
151 Use the given http proxy for all requests. If not specified, then the
152 default proxy (as specified by C<$ENV{http_proxy}>) is used.
153
154 C<$scheme> must be either missing or C<http> for HTTP, or C<https> for
155 HTTPS.
156
157 =item body => $string
158
159 The request body, usually empty. Will be-sent as-is (future versions of
160 this module might offer more options).
161
162 =item cookie_jar => $hash_ref
163
164 Passing this parameter enables (simplified) cookie-processing, loosely
165 based on the original netscape specification.
166
167 The C<$hash_ref> must be an (initially empty) hash reference which will
168 get updated automatically. It is possible to save the cookie_jar to
169 persistent storage with something like JSON or Storable, but this is not
170 recommended, as expire times are currently being ignored.
171
172 Note that this cookie implementation is not of very high quality, nor
173 meant to be complete. If you want complete cookie management you have to
174 do that on your own. C<cookie_jar> is meant as a quick fix to get some
175 cookie-using sites working. Cookies are a privacy disaster, do not use
176 them unless required to.

180 Example: make a simple HTTP GET request for http://www.nethype.de/

188 timeout of 30 seconds.

544 The default value for the C<User-Agent> header (the default is
