NAME

Maypole::Headers - Convenience wrapper around HTTP::Headers

SYNOPSIS

    use Maypole::Headers;

    $r->headers_out(Maypole::Headers->new); # Note, automatic in Maypole
    $r->headers_out->set('Content-Base' => 'http://localhost/maypole');
    $r->headers_out->push('Set-Cookie' => $cookie->as_string);
    $r->headers_out->push('Set-Cookie' => $cookie2->as_string);

    print $r->headers_out->as_string;

DESCRIPTION

A convenience wrapper around HTTP::Headers. Additional methods are provided to make the mutators less repetitive and wordy. For example:

    $r->headers_out->header(Content_Base => $r->config->uri_base);

can be written as:

    $r->headers_out->set(Content_Base => $r->config->uri_base);
