The libwww-perl collection is a set of Perl modules which provides a simple and consistent application programming interface (API) to the World-Wide Web. The main focus of the library is to provide classes and functions that allow you to write WWW cl...

This module provide replacement functions for the LWP::IO functions. Require this module if you use Tk and want non exclusive IO behaviour from LWP. This does not allow LWP to run simultaneous requests though. See also LWP::IO....

The following functions are available: LWP::IO::read($fd, $data, $size, $offset, $timeout) LWP::IO::write($fd, $data, $timeout) These routines provide low level I/O with timeout capability for the LWP library. These routines will only be installed if...

LWP::Curl provides an interface similar to the LWP library, but is built on top of the Curl library. The simple LWP-style interface means you don't have to know anything about the underlying library....

This module is an AnyEvent user, you need to make sure that you use and run a supported event loop. This module tries to make LWP non-blocking with respect to other coroutines as much as possible, and with whatever means it takes. LWP really tries ve...

This module has been deprecated. Please see LWP::ConsoleLogger for your debugging needs. LWP::Debug is used to provide tracing facilities, but these are not used by LWP any more. The code in this module is kept around (undocumented) so that 3rd party...

Beware: New code should not use this module. The IO::Socket::INET module provide the standard Perl interface to OO Internet sockets. Even LWP is now rewritten to use IO::Socket::INET throughout. This class implements TCP/IP sockets. It groups socket ...

This module attempts to answer, as accurately as it can, one of the nastiest technical questions there is. Am I on the internet? The answer is useful in a wide range of decisions. For example... *Should my test scripts run the online portion of the t...

This module is meant for people who want a simplified view of the libwww-perl library. It should also be suitable for one-liners. If you need more control or access to the header fields in the requests sent and responses received, then you should use...

This is a LWP user agent which is almost identical to the normal user agent (LWP::UserAgent) except that if it reaches a situation where it needs an authentication token then it will send a token which it has stored. Storing authentication tokens in ...

This module can be used to log LWP requests as curl commands so you can redo requests the perl script makes, manually, on the command line. Just include a statement "use LWP::CurlLog;" to the top of your perl script and then check the output for curl...

This class implements a user agent that is suitable for robot applications. Robots should be nice to the servers they visit. They should consult the /robots.txt file to ensure that they are welcomed and they should not make requests too frequently. B...

This class is used as the base class for all protocol implementations supported by the LWP library. When creating an instance of this class using "LWP::Protocol::create($url)", and you get an initialized subclass appropriate for that access method. I...

Introduction ParallelUserAgent is an extension to the existing libwww module. It allows you to take a list of URLs (it currently supports HTTP, FTP, and FILE URLs. HTTPS might work, too) and connect to all of them _in parallel_, then wait for the res...

RobotPUA is a simple frontend to the LWP::Parallel::RobotUA module. It is here in order to maintain the compatibility with previous releases. However, in order to prevent the previous need for changing the original LWP sources, all extension files ha...

The "LWP::ConnCache" class is the standard connection cache manager for LWP::UserAgent....

Just like a RobotUA, but you can see how long it will wait for a given link and then try another....

The LWP::UserAgent is a class implementing a web user agent. LWP::UserAgent objects can be used to dispatch web requests. In normal use the application creates an LWP::UserAgent object, and then configures it with values for timeouts, proxies, name, ...

ParallelUA is a simple frontend to the LWP::Parallel::UserAgent module. It is here in order to maintain the compatibility with previous releases. However, in order to prevent the previous need for changing the original LWP sources, all extension file...

This module provides functions for handling media (also known as MIME) types and encodings. The mapping from file extensions to media types is defined by the media.types file. If the ~/.media.types file exists it is used instead. For backwards compat...
