LWP::Protocol::GHTTP - (DEPRECATED) Provide GHTTP support for LWP::UserAgent via HTTP::GHTTP.
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;
# create a new object
LWP::Protocol::implementor('http', 'LWP::Protocol::GHTTP');
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $res = $ua->get('http://www.example.com');
# note that we can only support the GET HEAD and POST verbs.
This module depends on the GNOME libghttp http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libghttp project. That project is no longer in development. If you are trying to use this module, you'd likely do better to just use LWP::Protocol::http or LWP::Protocol::https.
LWP::Protocol::GHTTP is only capable of dispatching requests using the GET,
POST, or HEAD verbs.
You have been warned.
The LWP::Protocol::GHTTP module provides support for using HTTP schemed URLs
with LWP. This module is a plug-in to the LWP protocol handling, but since it
takes over the HTTP scheme, you have to tell LWP we want to use this plug-in by
calling LWP::Protocol's implementor function.
This module used to be bundled with libwww-perl, but it was unbundled in v6.16 in order to be able to declare its dependencies properly for the CPAN tool-chain. Applications that need GHTTP support can just declare their dependency on LWP::Protocol::GHTTP and will no longer need to know what underlying modules to install.
WARNING!
This module depends on the GNOME libghttp http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libghttp project. That project is no longer in development. If you are trying to use this module, you'd likely do better to just use LWP::Protocol::http or LWP::Protocol::https.
Also, LWP::Protocol::GHTTP is only capable of dispatching requests using the GET,
POST, or HEAD verbs.
LWP::Protocol::GHTTP inherits all functions from LWP::Protocol and provides the following overriding functions.
my $response = $ua->request($request, $proxy, undef);
my $response = $ua->request($request, $proxy, '/tmp/sss');
my $response = $ua->request($request, $proxy, \&callback, 1024);
Dispatches a request over the HTTP protocol and returns a response object. Refer to LWP::UserAgent for description of the arguments.
