=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The C<Net::HTTP> class is a low-level HTTP client. An instance of the
|
|
C<Net::HTTP> class represents a connection to an HTTP server. The
|
|
HTTP protocol is described in RFC 2616. The C<Net::HTTP> class
|
|
support C<HTTP/1.0> and C<HTTP/1.1>.
|
|
|
|
C<Net::HTTP> is a sub-class of C<IO::Socket::INET>. You can mix the
|
|
methods described below with reading and writing from the socket
|
|
directly. This is not necessary a good idea, unless you know what you
|
|
are doing.
|
|
|
|
The following methods are provided (in addition to those of
|
|
C<IO::Socket::INET>):
|
|
|
|
=over
|
|
|
|
=item $s = Net::HTTP->new( %options )
|
|
|
|
The C<Net::HTTP> constructor method takes the same options as
|
|
C<IO::Socket::INET>'s as well as these:
|
|
|
|
Host: Initial host attribute value
|
|
KeepAlive: Initial keep_alive attribute value
|
|
SendTE: Initial send_te attribute_value
|
|
HTTPVersion: Initial http_version attribute value
|
|
PeerHTTPVersion: Initial peer_http_version attribute value
|
|
MaxLineLength: Initial max_line_length attribute value
|
|
MaxHeaderLines: Initial max_header_lines attribute value
|
|
|
|
The C<Host> option is also the default for C<IO::Socket::INET>'s
|
|
C<PeerAddr>. The C<PeerPort> defaults to 80 if not provided.
|
|
|
|
The C<Listen> option provided by C<IO::Socket::INET>'s constructor
|
|
method is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
If unable to connect to the given HTTP server then the constructor
|
|
returns C<undef> and $@ contains the reason. After a successful
|
|
connect, a C<Net:HTTP> object is returned.
|
|
|
|
=item $s->host
|
|
|
|
Get/set the default value of the C<Host> header to send. The $host
|
|
should not be set to an empty string (or C<undef>).
|
|
|
|
=item $s->keep_alive
|
|
|
|
Get/set the I<keep-alive> value. If this value is TRUE then the
|
|
request will be sent with headers indicating that the server should try
|
|
to keep the connection open so that multiple requests can be sent.
|
|
|
|
The actual headers set will depend on the value of the C<http_version>
|
|
and C<peer_http_version> attributes.
|
|
|
|
=item $s->send_te
|
|
|
|
Get/set the a value indicating if the request will be sent with a "TE"
|
|
header to indicate the transfer encodings that the server can chose to
|
|
use. If the C<Compress::Zlib> module is installed then this will
|
|
annouce that this client accept both the I<deflate> and I<gzip>
|
|
encodings.
|
|
|
|
=item $s->http_version
|
|
|
|
Get/set the HTTP version number that this client should announce.
|
|
This value can only be set to "1.0" or "1.1". The default is "1.1".
|
|
|
|
=item $s->peer_http_version
|
|
|
|
Get/set the protocol version number of our peer. This value will
|
|
initially be "1.0", but will be updated by a successful
|
|
read_response_headers() method call.
|
|
|
|
=item $s->max_line_length
|
|
|
|
Get/set a limit on the length of response line and response header
|
|
lines. The default is 4096. A value of 0 means no limit.
|
|
|
|
=item $s->max_header_length
|
|
|
|
Get/set a limit on the number of headers lines that a response can
|
|
have. The default is 128. A value of 0 means no limit.
|
|
|
|
=item $s->format_request($method, $uri, %headers, [$content])
|
|
|
|
Format a request message and return it as a string. If the headers do
|
|
not include a C<Host> header, then a header is inserted with the value
|
|
of the C<host> attribute. Headers like C<Connection> and
|
|
C<Keep-Alive> might also be added depending on the status of the
|
|
C<keep_alive> attribute.
|
|
|
|
If $content is given (and it is non-empty), then a C<Content-Length>
|
|
header is automatically added unless it was already present.
|
|
|
|
=item $s->write_request($method, $uri, %headers, [$content])
|
|
|
|
Format and send a request message. Arguments are the same as for
|
|
format_request(). Returns true if successful.
|
|
|
|
=item $s->format_chunk( $data )
|
|
|
|
Returns the string to be written for the given chunk of data.
|
|
|
|
=item $s->write_chunk($data)
|
|
|
|
Will write a new chunk of request entity body data. This method
|
|
should only be used if the C<Transfer-Encoding> header with a value of
|
|
C<chunked> was sent in the request. Note, writing zero-length data is
|
|
a no-op. Use the write_chunk_eof() method to signal end of entity
|
|
body data.
|
|
|
|
Returns true if successful.
|
|
|
|
=item $s->format_chunk_eof( %trailers )
|
|
|
|
Returns the string to be written for signaling EOF when a
|
|
C<Transfer-Encoding> of C<chunked> is used.
|
|
|
|
=item $s->write_chunk_eof( %trailers )
|
|
|
|
Will write eof marker for chunked data and optional trailers. Note
|
|
that trailers should not really be used unless is was signaled
|
|
with a C<Trailer> header.
|
|
|
|
Returns true if successful.
|
|
|
|
=item ($code, $mess, %headers) = $s->read_response_headers( %opts )
|
|
|
|
Read response headers from server and return it. The $code is the 3
|
|
digit HTTP status code (see L<HTTP::Status>) and $mess is the textual
|
|
message that came with it. Headers are then returned as key/value
|
|
pairs. Since key letter casing is not normalized and the same key can
|
|
even occur multiple times, assigning these values directly to a hash
|
|
is not wise. Only the $code is returned if this method is called in
|
|
scalar context.
|
|
|
|
As a side effect this method updates the 'peer_http_version'
|
|
attribute.
|
|
|
|
Options might be passed in as key/value pairs. There are currently
|
|
only two options supported; C<laxed> and C<junk_out>.
|
|
|
|
The C<laxed> option will make read_response_headers() more forgiving
|
|
towards servers that have not learned how to speak HTTP properly. The
|
|
C<laxed> option is a boolean flag, and is enabled by passing in a TRUE
|
|
value. The C<junk_out> option can be used to capture bad header lines
|
|
when C<laxed> is enabled. The value should be an array reference.
|
|
Bad header lines will be pushed onto the array.
|
|
|
|
The C<laxed> option must be specified in order to communicate with
|
|
pre-HTTP/1.0 servers that don't describe the response outcome or the
|
|
data they send back with a header block. For these servers
|
|
peer_http_version is set to "0.9" and this method returns (200,
|
|
"Assumed OK").
|
|
|
|
The method will raise an exception (die) if the server does not speak
|
|
proper HTTP or if the C<max_line_length> or C<max_header_length>
|
|
limits are reached. If the C<laxed> option is turned on and
|
|
C<max_line_length> and C<max_header_length> checks are turned off,
|
|
then no exception will be raised and this method will always
|
|
return a response code.
|
|
|
|
=item $n = $s->read_entity_body($buf, $size);
|
|
|
|
Reads chunks of the entity body content. Basically the same interface
|
|
as for read() and sysread(), but the buffer offset argument is not
|
|
supported yet. This method should only be called after a successful
|
|
read_response_headers() call.
|
|
|
|
The return value will be C<undef> on read errors, 0 on EOF, -1 if no data
|
|
could be returned this time, otherwise the number of bytes assgined
|
|
to $buf. The $buf set to "" when the return value is -1.
|
|
|
|
This method will raise exceptions (die) if the server does not speak
|
|
proper HTTP. This can only happen when reading chunked data.
|
|
|
|
=item %headers = $s->get_trailers
|
|
|
|
After read_entity_body() has returned 0 to indicate end of the entity
|
|
body, you might call this method to pick up any trailers.
|
|
|
|
=item $s->_rbuf
|
|
|
|
Get/set the read buffer content. The read_response_headers() and
|
|
read_entity_body() methods use an internal buffer which they will look
|
|
for data before they actually sysread more from the socket itself. If
|
|
they read too much, the remaining data will be left in this buffer.
|
|
|
|
=item $s->_rbuf_length
|
|
|
|
Returns the number of bytes in the read buffer. This should always be
|
|
the same as:
|
|
|
|
length($s->_rbuf)
|
|
|
|
but might be more efficient.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=head1 SUBCLASSING
|
|
|
|
The read_response_headers() and read_entity_body() will invoke the
|
|
sysread() method when they need more data. Subclasses might want to
|
|
override this method to contol how reading takes place.
|
|
|
|
The object itself is a glob. Subclasses should avoid using hash key
|
|
names prefixed with C<http_> and C<io_>.
