HTTP::Request
is a class encapsulating
HTTP style requests, consisting of a request line, a
MIME header, and optional content. Note that the
LWP library also uses this
HTTP style requests for non-HTTP protocols.
Instances of this class are usually passed to the request()
method of an LWP::UserAgent
object:
$ua = new LWP::UserAgent; $request = new HTTP::Request 'http://www.oslonett.no/'; $response = $ua->request($request);
HTTP::Request
is a subclass of HTTP::Message
and therefore inherits its methods. The inherited methods are
header(),
push_header(),
remove_header(),
headers_as_string()
and
content().
See Message for details.
HTTP::Request
object describing a request on the object $url
using method $method
. The $url
argument can be either a string, or a reference to a URI::URL
object. The $header
argument should be a reference to a
HTTP::Headers object.
$request = new HTTP::Request 'GET', 'http://www.oslonett.no/';
If an argument is given the member variable is given that as its new value. If no argument is given the value is not touched. In either case the previous value is returned.
The url()
method accept both a reference to a
URI::URL object and a string as its argument. If a string is given, then it should be parseable as an absolute
URL.
