NAME

HTTP: :Request − Class encapsulating HTTP Requests

SYNOPSIS

 require HTTP::Request;
 $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => ’http://www.oslonett.no/’);

DESCRIPTION

"HTTP::Request" is a class encapsulating HTTP style requests, consisting of a request line, some headers, and some (potentially empty) 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 = LWP::UserAgent->new;
 $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => ’http://www.oslonett.no/’);
 $response = $ua->request($request);

"HTTP::Request" is a subclass of "HTTP::Message" and therefore inherits its methods. The inherited methods most often used are header(), push_header(), remove_header(), headers_as_string() and content(). See the HTTP::Message manpage for details.

The following additional methods are available:
$r =
HTTP: :Request->new($method, $uri, [$header, [$content]])

Constructs a new "HTTP::Request" object describing a request on the object "$uri" using method "$method". The "$uri" argument can be either a string, or a reference to a "URI" object. The $header argument should be a reference to an "HTTP::Headers" object.

$r->method([$val])
$r->uri([$val])

These methods provide public access to the attributes containing respectively the method of the request and the URI object of the request.

If an argument is given the attribute 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 uri() method accept both a reference to a URI object and a string as its argument. If a string is given, then it should be parseable as an absolute URI .

$r->as_string()

Method returning a textual representation of the request. Mainly useful for debugging purposes. It takes no arguments.
