=head1 NAME
HTTP::Request - HTTP style request message
=head1 SYNOPSIS
require HTTP::Request;
$request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://www.example.com/');
and usually used like this:
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$response = $ua->request($request);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<HTTP::Request> is a class encapsulating HTTP style requests,
consisting of a request line, some headers, and a content body. Note
that the LWP library uses HTTP style requests even for non-HTTP
protocols. Instances of this class are usually passed to the
request() method of an C<LWP::UserAgent> object.
C<HTTP::Request> is a subclass of C<HTTP::Message> and therefore
inherits its methods. The following additional methods are available:
=over 4
=item $r = HTTP::Request->new( $method, $uri )
=item $r = HTTP::Request->new( $method, $uri, $header )
=item $r = HTTP::Request->new( $method, $uri, $header, $content )
Constructs a new C<HTTP::Request> object describing a request on the
object $uri using method $method. The $method argument must be a
string. The $uri argument can be either a string, or a reference to a
C<URI> object. The optional $header argument should be a reference to
an C<HTTP::Headers> object or a plain array reference of key/value
pairs. The optional $content argument should be a string of bytes.
=item $r = HTTP::Request->parse( $str )
This constructs a new request object by parsing the given string.
=item $r->method
=item $r->method( $val )
This is used to get/set the method attribute. The method should be a
short string like "GET", "HEAD", "PUT" or "POST".
=item $r->uri
=item $r->uri( $val )
This is used to get/set the uri attribute. The $val can be a
reference to a URI object or a plain string. If a string is given,
then it should be parseable as an absolute URI.
=item $r->header( $field )
=item $r->header( $field => $value )
This is used to get/set header values and it is inherited from
C<HTTP::Headers> via C<HTTP::Message>. See L<HTTP::Headers> for
details and other similar methods that can be used to access the
headers.
=item $r->accept_decodable
This will set the C<Accept-Encoding> header to the list of encodings
that decoded_content() can decode.
=item $r->content
=item $r->content( $bytes )
This is used to get/set the content and it is inherited from the
C<HTTP::Message> base class. See L<HTTP::Message> for details and
other methods that can be used to access the content.
Note that the content should be a string of bytes. Strings in perl
can contain characters outside the range of a byte. The C<Encode>
module can be used to turn such strings into a string of bytes.
=item $r->as_string
=item $r->as_string( $eol )
Method returning a textual representation of the request.
