NAME

HTTP::Thin::UserAgent - A Thin UserAgent around some useful modules.

VERSION

version 0.003

SYNOPSIS

    use HTTP::Thin::UserAgent;

    my $data = http(GET http://api.metacpan.org/v0/author/PERIGRIN?join=favorite)->as_json->decode;

DESCRIPTION

WARNING this code is still *alpha* quality. While it will work as advertised on the tin, API breakage will likely be common until things settle down a bit.

HTTP::Thin::UserAgent provides what I hope is a thin layer over HTTP::Thin. It exposes an functional API that hopefully makes writing HTTP clients easier. Right now it's in *very* alpha stage and really only helps for writing JSON clients. The intent is to expand it to be more generally useful but a JSON client was what I needed first.

EXPORTS

http

A function that returns a new HTTP::Thin::UserAgent::Client object, which does the actual work for the request. You pas in an HTTP::Request object.

GET / PUT / POST

Exports from HTTP::Request::Common to make generating HTTP::Request objects easier.
