NAME

Future::HTTP::NetAsync - asynchronous HTTP client with a Future interface

DESCRIPTION

This is the backend when running with IO::Async. It will execute the requests asynchronously.

METHODS

Future::HTTP::NetAsync->new()

my $ua = Future::HTTP::NetAsync->new();

Creates a new instance of the HTTP client.

$ua->is_async()

Returns true, because this backend is asynchronous.

$ua->http_get($url, %options)

$ua->http_get('http://example.com/',
    headers => {
        'Accept' => 'text/json',
    },
)->then(sub {
    my( $body, $headers ) = @_;
    ...
});

Retrieves the URL and returns the body and headers, like the function in AnyEvent::HTTP.

$ua->http_head($url, %options)

$ua->http_head('http://example.com/',
    headers => {
        'Accept' => 'text/json',
    },
)->then(sub {
    my( $body, $headers ) = @_;
    ...
});

Retrieves the header of the URL and returns the headers, like the function in AnyEvent::HTTP.

$ua->http_post($url, $body, %options)

$ua->http_post('http://example.com/api',
    '{token:"my_json_token"}',
    headers => {
        'Accept' => 'text/json',
    },
)->then(sub {
    my( $body, $headers ) = @_;
    ...
});

Posts the content to the URL and returns the body and headers, like the function in AnyEvent::HTTP.

$ua->http_request($method, $url, %options)

$ua->http_request('PUT' => 'http://example.com/api',
    headers => {
        'Accept' => 'text/json',
    },
    body    => '{token:"my_json_token"}',
)->then(sub {
    my( $body, $headers ) = @_;
    ...
});

Posts the content to the URL and returns the body and headers, like the function in AnyEvent::HTTP.

Note that this subclass will automatically collect cookies. This may or may not be the behaviour you want.
