DESCRIPTION

USE OF THIS MODULE IS DEPRECATED in favor of Web::Transport::BasicClient module in the perl-web-resource repository <https://github.com/manakai/perl-web-resource/>.

This module provides three functions for HTTP access: http_get, http_post, and http_post_data. They are in fact wrappers for LWP::UserAgent. They accept parameters that describes which resource is how retrieved and return HTTP::Request and HTTP::Response objects of the HTTP access.

It adds following features to the original LWP::UserAgent module:

- Useful functional interfaces

- Avoiding use of SOCKS proxy transparently using LWP::UserAgent::Curl module

- application/x-www-form-urlencoded support

- OAuth 1.0 support

DEPENDENCY

This module requires Perl 5.14.2 or later (as required by its dependencies).

This module requires LWP::UserAgent.
