NAME

LWP::UserAgent::Patch::FilterMirrorMaxSize - Dont' mirror() files larger than a certain size

VERSION

This document describes version 0.05 of LWP::UserAgent::Patch::FilterMirrorMaxSize (from Perl distribution LWP-UserAgent-Patch-FilterMirror), released on 2015-07-27.

SYNOPSIS

use LWP::UserAgent::Patch::FilterMirrorMaxSize -size => 10*1024*1024;
# use LWP::UserAgent's mirror() as usual

To use with CPAN::Mini command-line script:

% PERL5OPT="-MLWP::UserAgent::Patch::FilterMirrorMaxSize=-size,10485760,-verbose,1" minicpan -l /cpan -r http://mirrors.kernel.org/cpan/

DESCRIPTION

If size is larger than the limit, the patch's wrapper method will return a dummy 304 (not modified) response object. This trick should work on at least some applications (like with CPAN::Mini, which I originally wrote this patch module for), but it might not :-)
