NAME

HTTP::Tiny::Patch::Cache - Cache HTTP::Tiny responses

VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of HTTP::Tiny::Patch::Cache (from Perl distribution HTTP-Tiny-Patch-Cache), released on 2018-09-20.

SYNOPSIS

From Perl:

use HTTP::Tiny::Patch::Cache;

my $res  = HTTP::Tiny->new->get("http://www.example.com/");
my $res2 = HTTP::Tiny->request(GET => "http://www.example.com/"); # cached response

From command-line (one-liner):

% perl -MHTTP::Tiny::Patch::Cache -E'my $res = HTTP::Tiny->new->get("..."); ...'

To customize cache period (default is one day, the example below sets it to 2 hours):

% CACHE_MAX_AGE=7200 perl -MHTTP::Tiny::Patch::Cache ...

To clear cache, you can temporarily set cache period to 0:

% CACHE_MAX_AGE=0 perl -MHTTP::Tiny::Patch::Cache ...

Or you can delete $tempdir/http_tiny_patch_cache/, where $tempdir is retrieved from File::Util::Tempdir's get_user_tempdir().

DESCRIPTION

This module patches HTTP::Tiny to cache responses. Currently only GET requests are cached. Cache are keyed by SHA256-hex(URL). Error responses are also cached. Currently no cache-related HTTP request or response headers (e.g. Cache-Control) are respected. This patch is mostly useful when testing (e.g. saving bandwidth when repeatedly getting huge HTTP pages).
