A HashRef with user and pass used as credentials to perform a HTTP Basic Authentication.

undef_on_404

By default, the connector will die if a resource is not found. If set to a true value the connector returns undef, note that die_on_undef will be obeyed.

Parameter used with set

file/path

You can append a templated string to the LOCATION by setting file, path or simply pass ARGS. See Connector::Role::LocalPath for details.

A template toolkit string to generate the payload, receives the payload argument as HasRef in DATA.

content_type

The Content-Type header to use, default is no header.

Result Handling

If you need to parse the result returned by get, inherit from the class an implement _parse_result. This method receives the response object from the user agent call and must return a scalar value which is returned to the caller.
