NAME

Future::HTTP::Tiny - synchronous HTTP client with a Future interface

DESCRIPTION

This is the default backend. It is chosen if no supported event loop could be detected. It will execute the requests synchronously as they are made in ->http_request .

METHODS

Future::HTTP::Tiny->new()


            

              
              
my $ua = Future::HTTP::Tiny->new();

Creates a new instance of the HTTP client.

$ua->is_async()

Returns false, because this backend is synchronous.

$ua->http_get($url, %options)


            

              
              
$ua->http_get('http://example.com/',
    headers => {
        'Accept' => 'text/json',
    },
)->then(sub {
    my( $body, $headers ) = @_;
    ...
});

Retrieves the URL and returns the body and headers, like the function in AnyEvent::HTTP.

$ua->http_head($url, %options)


            

              
              
$ua->http_head('http://example.com/',
    headers => {
        'Accept' => 'text/json',
    },
)->then(sub {
    my( $body, $headers ) = @_;
    ...
});

Retrieves the header of the URL and returns the headers, like the function in AnyEvent::HTTP.

$ua->http_post($url, $body, %options)


            

              
              
$ua->http_post('http://example.com/api',
    '{token:"my_json_token"}',
    headers => {
        'Accept' => 'text/json',
    },
)->then(sub {
    my( $body, $headers ) = @_;
    ...
});

Posts the content to the URL and returns the body and headers, like the function in AnyEvent::HTTP.

$ua->http_request($method, $url, %options)


            

              
              
$ua->http_request('PUT' => 'http://example.com/api',
    headers => {
        'Accept' => 'text/json',
    },
    body    => '{token:"my_json_token"}',
)->then(sub {
    my( $body, $headers ) = @_;
    ...
});

Posts the content to the URL and returns the body and headers, like the function in AnyEvent::HTTP.

COMPATIBILITY

HTTP::Tiny is a good backend because it is distributed with many versions of Perl. The drawback is that not all versions of HTTP::Tiny support all features. The following features are unsupported on older versions of HTTP::Tiny:

->{URL}

HTTP::Tiny versions before 0.018 didn't tell about 30x redirections.

->{redirects}

HTTP::Tiny versions before 0.058 didn't record the chain of redirects.
