LWP::UserAgent Description

LWP::UserAgent is a web user agent class. LWP::UserAgent is a web user agent class.SYNOPSIS require LWP::UserAgent; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; $ua->timeout(10); $ua->env_proxy; my $response = $ua->get('http://search.cpan.org/'); if ($response->is_success) { print $response->content; # or whatever } else { die $response->status_line; }The LWP::UserAgent is a class implementing a web user agent. LWP::UserAgent objects can be used to dispatch web requests.In normal use the application creates an LWP::UserAgent object, and then configures it with values for timeouts, proxies, name, etc. It then creates an instance of HTTP::Request for the request that needs to be performed. This request is then passed to one of the request method the UserAgent, which dispatches it using the relevant protocol, and returns a HTTP::Response object. There are convenience methods for sending the most common request types: get(), head() and post(). When using these methods then the creation of the request object is hidden as shown in the synopsis above.The basic approach of the library is to use HTTP style communication for all protocol schemes. This means that you will construct HTTP::Request objects and receive HTTP::Response objects even for non-HTTP resources like gopher and ftp. In order to achieve even more similarity to HTTP style communications, gopher menus and file directories are converted to HTML documents. Requirements: · Perl
