NAME

HTTP::Request::CurlParameters - container for a Curl-like HTTP request

SYNOPSIS

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $params = HTTP::Request::CurlParameters->new(argv => \@ARGV);
my $response = $ua->request($params->as_request);

DESCRIPTION

Objects of this class are mostly created from HTTP::Request::FromCurl. Most likely you want to use that module instead:

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $params = HTTP::Request::FromCurl->new(command_curl => $cmd);
my $response = $ua->request($params->as_request);

->as_request

$ua->request( $r->as_request );

Returns an equivalent HTTP::Request object

my $r = $curl->as_request;

Returns a HTTP::Request object that represents the Curl options.

$r->as_snippet( %options )

print $r->as_snippet( type => 'LWP' );

Returns a code snippet that returns code to create an equivalent HTTP::Request object and to perform the request using WWW::Mechanize.

This is mostly intended as a convenience function for creating Perl demo snippets from curl examples.

$r->as_wget

print $r->as_wget;

Returns a curl command line representing the request

This is convenient if you started out from something else or want a canonical representation of a curl command line.
