=head1 NAME
HTTP::Thin - A Thin Wrapper around HTTP::Tiny to play nice with HTTP::Message
=head1 VERSION
version 0.006
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use 5.12.1;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Thin;
say HTTP::Thin->new()->request(GET 'http://example.com')->as_string;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
WARNING: This module is untested beyond the very basics. The implementation is simple enough that it shouldn't do evil things but, yeah it's still not approved for use by small children.
C<HTTP::Thin> is a thin wrapper around L<HTTP::Tiny> adding the ability to pass in L<HTTP::Request> objects and get back L<HTTP::Response> objects. The maintainers of L<HTTP::Tiny>, justifiably, don't want to have to maintain compatibility but many other projects already consume the L<HTTP::Message> objects. This is just glue code doing what it does best.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 request
In addition to the parameters documented in L<HTTP::Tiny>, C<HTTP::Thin> takes L<HTTP::Request> objects as well.
The return value is an L<HTTP::Response> object.
=head1 WHY?
A conversation on IRC lead to C<mst>, C<ether>, and I agreeing that this would be a useful module but probably not worth the effort. I wrote it anyway to get it out of my head.
