SYNOPSIS use HTTP::Tiny::CLI; my $response = HTTP::Tiny::CLI->new->get('http://example.com/'); die "Failed!\n" unless $response->{success}; print "$response->{status} $response->{reason}\n"; while (my ($k, $v) = each %{$response->{headers}}) { for (ref $v eq 'ARRAY' ? @$v : $v) { print "$k: $_\n"; } } print $response->{content} if length $response->{content}; DESCRIPTION THIS MODULE IS DEPRECATED. MIYAGAWA has started its HTTP::Tinyish project which also include curl and wget backend. I'm sure he will do a better and more thorough job than this experiment. NOTE: EARLY RELEASE. Many features like wget support, redirects, post data, cookies are not yet implemented. This class lets you use CLI network clients (currently curl and wget are supported) with an HTTP::Tiny interface. It is an alternative you can try when you must connect to https but IO::Socket::SSL is not available (and you cannot build it because there is no C compiler on the system). Note that this is not a subclass of HTTP::Tiny, but a look-alike object. Some features of HTTP::Tiny are not supported or are implemented differently: XXX. METHODS new(%attributes) => obj Aside from attributes known by HTTP::Tiny, there are additional attributes: * cli_search_order => str A comma-separated list of CLI program names to search, in order. Currently only wget and curl are supported. Either 'curl', 'wget', 'curl,wget' or 'wget,curl'. The default is 'curl,wget'. * curl_path => str Set path to curl. The default is to search for "curl" in PATH. * wget_path => str Set path to wget. The default is to search for "wget" in PATH. CAVEATS This module is currently not exactly "tiny": it depends on a couple of non-core modules. Some information (like "user:password" stanza in URL) might leak because it is specified in command line which might be visible from ps or other process-table tools. SEE ALSO HTTP::Tiny
