1. http-tiny

FUNCTIONS

http_tiny

Usage:

http_tiny(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Perform request(s) with HTTP::Tiny.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • attributes => hash

    Pass attributes to HTTP::Tiny constructor.

  • content => str

    (No description)

  • headers => hash

    (No description)

  • ignore_errors => bool

    Ignore errors.

    Normally, when given multiple URLs, the utility will exit after the first non-success response. With ignore_errors set to true, will just log the error and continue. Will return with the last error response.

  • method => str (default: "GET")

    (No description)

  • raw => bool

    (No description)

  • urls* => array[str]

    (No description)

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

http_tiny_cache

Usage:

http_tiny_cache(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Perform request(s) with HTTP::Tiny::Cache.

Like http_tiny, but uses HTTP::Tiny::Cache instead of HTTP::Tiny. See the documentation of HTTP::Tiny::Cache on how to set cache period.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
