Protocol::HTTP - very fast HTTP protocol incremental parser and serializer
use Protocol::HTTP; # client api - make request my $request = Protocol::HTTP::Request->new({ uri => "http://crazypanda.ru/hello/world", headers => {MyHeader => "my value"}, cookies => {coo1 => "val1", coo2 => "val2"}, body => "my body", }); my $req_str = $request->to_string; # => like qr|GET /hello/world HTTP/1.1| # server api - parse request my ($state, $position, $error); my $req_parser = Protocol::HTTP::RequestParser->new; ($request, $state, $position, $error) = $req_parser->parse($req_str); if ($state == Protocol::HTTP::Message::STATE_DONE) { say $request->uri; say $request->method; say $request->body; } # server api - make response my $response = Protocol::HTTP::Response->new({ code => 200, headers => {Lang => 'Perl'}, body => "Lorem ipsum dolor", }); my $res_str = $response->to_string($request); # client api - parse response my $res_parser = Protocol::HTTP::ResponseParser->new; $res_parser->set_context_request($request); ($response, $state, $position, $error) = $res_parser->parse($res_str); say $response->code; say $response->status; say $response->body; # compression with chunks use Protocol::HTTP::Request 'METHOD_POST'; $request = Protocol::HTTP::Request->new({ method => METHOD_POST, uri => "https://images.example.com/upload", chunked => 1, compress => Protocol::HTTP::Compression::gzip, }); say $request->to_string; # only http headers say $request->make_chunk('hello-world'); # outputs first chunk say $request->final_chunk(); # outputs final chunk
The Protocol::HTTP is a port of panda::protocol::http library, an RFC-compiant very fast HTTP protocol implementation, written in C++ with XS-adapters in perl. The module has dual Perl/C++ interface (see XS::Manifesto) so futher XS-bindings can be written on the top of Protocol::HTTP.
Protocol::HTTP
panda::protocol::http
The following features are supported in the Protocol::HTTP: cookies, transparent (un)compression with Gzip or Brotli, transparent chunked transfer encoding for body streaming, respecting request's preferences when making response.
Gzip
Brotli
The module is a protocol implementation, by itself it does not perform any I/O activity.
Currenly supported HTTP versions are 1.0 and 1.1
Protocol::HTTP::Request
Protocol::HTTP::Response
Protocol::HTTP::Message
Protocol::HTTP::RequestParser
Protocol::HTTP::ResponseParser
Protocol::HTTP::Compression
Protocol::HTTP::errc
The error category that all of Protocol::HTTP::errc errors have.
Protocol::HTTP::Compression::Brotli
URI::XS
Protocol::WebSocket::XS
rfc2616 (http 1.1)
