NAME

Coro::PatchSet::LWP - fix Coro::LWP as much as possible

SYNOPSIS

    # load Coro::PatchSet::LWP before Coro::LWP or instead of Coro::LWP!
    use Coro::PatchSet::LWP;
    # or
    # use Coro::PatchSet 'lwp';
    use Coro;
    use LWP;
    
    async { warn LWP::UserAgent->new->get('http://example.org')->status_line }

PATCHES

support for IO::Socket::INET6 and IO::Socket::IP

Nowadays LWP may use IO::Socket::INET6 or IO::Socket::IP as socket class instead of IO::Socket::INET. But Coro::LWP substitutes only IO::Socket::INET. So your LWP may become blocking because will still use blocking IO::Socket::INET6 or IO::Socket::IP. This patch fixes this. But note, it will not add IPv6 support for LWP, because Coro::Socket is still IPv4 only. See t/09_lwp_socket_class.t

coro compatible support for https

Coro::LWP doesn't do any special hacks about https, so https connections still blocks coro threads. This patch fixes this problem, but don't forget to load it before IO::Socket::SSL, so use it as early as possible.

loading other necessary patches

This patch will also load other necessary patches: Coro::PatchSet::Handle and Coro::PatchSet::Socket
