lwpcook(3)                           User Contributed Perl Documentation                          lwpcook(3)



NAME
       lwpcook - The libwww-perl cookbook

DESCRIPTION
       This document contain some examples that show typical usage of the libwww-perl library.  You should
       consult the documentation for the individual modules for more detail.

       All examples should be runnable programs. You can, in most cases, test the code sections by piping
       the program text directly to perl.

GET
       It is very easy to use this library to just fetch documents from the net.  The LWP::Simple module
       provides the get() function that return the document specified by its URL argument:

         use LWP::Simple;
         $doc = get 'http://search.cpan.org/dist/libwww-perl/';

       or, as a perl one-liner using the getprint() function:

         perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getprint "http://search.cpan.org/dist/libwww-perl/"'

       or, how about fetching the latest perl by running this command:

         perl -MLWP::Simple -e '
           getstore "ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/lang/perl/CPAN/src/latest.tar.gz",
                    "perl.tar.gz"'

       You will probably first want to find a CPAN site closer to you by running something like the
       following command:

         perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getprint "http://www.cpan.org/SITES.html"'

       Enough of this simple stuff!  The LWP object oriented interface gives you more control over the
       request sent to the server.  Using this interface you have full control over headers sent and how you
       want to handle the response returned.

         use LWP::UserAgent;
         $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
         $ua->agent("$0/0.1 " . $ua->agent);
         # $ua->agent("Mozilla/8.0") # pretend we are very capable browser

         $req = HTTP::Request->new(
            GET => 'http://search.cpan.org/dist/libwww-perl/');
         $req->header('Accept' => 'text/html');

         # send request
         $res = $ua->request($req);

         # check the outcome
         if ($res->is_success) {
            print $res->decoded_content;
         }
         else {
            print "Error: " . $res->status_line . "\n";
         }

       The lwp-request program (alias GET) that is distributed with the library can also be used to fetch
       documents from WWW servers.

HEAD
       If you just want to check if a document is present (i.e. the URL is valid) try to run code that looks
       like this:

         use LWP::Simple;

         if (head($url)) {
            # ok document exists
         }

       The head() function really returns a list of meta-information about the document.  The first three
       values of the list returned are the document type, the size of the document, and the age of the
       document.

       More control over the request or access to all header values returned require that you use the object
       oriented interface described for GET above.  Just s/GET/HEAD/g.

POST
       There is no simple procedural interface for posting data to a WWW server.  You must use the object
       oriented interface for this. The most common POST operation is to access a WWW form application:

         use LWP::UserAgent;
         $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

         my $req = HTTP::Request->new(
             POST => 'http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html');
         $req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
         $req->content('Status=Active&Name=libwww-perl');

         my $res = $ua->request($req);
         print $res->as_string;

       Lazy people use the HTTP::Request::Common module to set up a suitable POST request message (it
       handles all the escaping issues) and has a suitable default for the content_type:

         use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);
         use LWP::UserAgent;
         $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

         my $req = POST 'http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html',
                       [ Status => 'Active', Name => 'libwww-perl' ];

         print $ua->request($req)->as_string;

       The lwp-request program (alias POST) that is distributed with the library can also be used for
       posting data.

PROXIES
       Some sites use proxies to go through fire wall machines, or just as cache in order to improve
       performance.  Proxies can also be used for accessing resources through protocols not supported
       directly (or supported badly :-) by the libwww-perl library.

       You should initialize your proxy setting before you start sending requests:

         use LWP::UserAgent;
         $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
         $ua->env_proxy; # initialize from environment variables
         # or
         $ua->proxy(ftp  => 'http://proxy.myorg.com');
         $ua->proxy(wais => 'http://proxy.myorg.com');
         $ua->no_proxy(qw(no se fi));

         my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'wais://xxx.com/');
         print $ua->request($req)->as_string;

       The LWP::Simple interface will call env_proxy() for you automatically.  Applications that use the
       $ua->env_proxy() method will normally not use the $ua->proxy() and $ua->no_proxy() methods.

       Some proxies also require that you send it a username/password in order to let requests through.  You
       should be able to add the required header, with something like this:

        use LWP::UserAgent;

        $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
        $ua->proxy(['http', 'ftp'] => 'http://username:password@proxy.myorg.com');

        $req = HTTP::Request->new('GET',"http://www.perl.com");

        $res = $ua->request($req);
        print $res->decoded_content if $res->is_success;

       Replace "proxy.myorg.com", "username" and "password" with something suitable for your site.

ACCESS TO PROTECTED DOCUMENTS
       Documents protected by basic authorization can easily be accessed like this:

         use LWP::UserAgent;
         $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
         $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://www.linpro.no/secret/');
         $req->authorization_basic('aas', 'mypassword');
         print $ua->request($req)->as_string;

       The other alternative is to provide a subclass of LWP::UserAgent that overrides the
       get_basic_credentials() method. Study the lwp-request program for an example of this.

COOKIES
       Some sites like to play games with cookies.  By default LWP ignores cookies provided by the servers
       it visits.  LWP will collect cookies and respond to cookie requests if you set up a cookie jar.

         use LWP::UserAgent;
         use HTTP::Cookies;

         $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
         $ua->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file => "lwpcookies.txt",
                                            autosave => 1));

         # and then send requests just as you used to do
         $res = $ua->request(HTTP::Request->new(GET => "http://no.yahoo.com/"));
         print $res->status_line, "\n";

       As you visit sites that send you cookies to keep, then the file lwpcookies.txt" will grow.

HTTPS
       URLs with https scheme are accessed in exactly the same way as with http scheme, provided that an SSL
       interface module for LWP has been properly installed (see the README.SSL file found in the libwww-perl libwwwperl
       perl distribution for more details).  If no SSL interface is installed for LWP to use, then you will
       get "501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported" errors when accessing such URLs.

       Here's an example of fetching and printing a WWW page using SSL:

         use LWP::UserAgent;

         my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
         my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'https://www.helsinki.fi/');
         my $res = $ua->request($req);
         if ($res->is_success) {
             print $res->as_string;
         }
         else {
             print "Failed: ", $res->status_line, "\n";
         }

MIRRORING
       If you want to mirror documents from a WWW server, then try to run code similar to this at regular
       intervals:

         use LWP::Simple;

         %mirrors = (
            'http://www.sn.no/'                       => 'sn.html',
            'http://www.perl.com/'                    => 'perl.html',
            'http://search.cpan.org/distlibwww-perl/' => 'lwp.html',
            'gopher://gopher.sn.no/'                  => 'gopher.html',
         );

         while (($url, $localfile) = each(%mirrors)) {
            mirror($url, $localfile);
         }

       Or, as a perl one-liner:

         perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'mirror("http://www.perl.com/", "perl.html")';

       The document will not be transferred unless it has been updated.

LARGE DOCUMENTS
       If the document you want to fetch is too large to be kept in memory, then you have two alternatives.
       You can instruct the library to write the document content to a file (second $ua->request() argument
       is a file name):

         use LWP::UserAgent;
         $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

         my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET =>
            'http://www.cpan.org/authors/Gisle_Aas/libwww-perl-6.02.tar.gz');
         $res = $ua->request($req, "libwww-perl.tar.gz");
         if ($res->is_success) {
            print "ok\n";
         }
         else {
            print $res->status_line, "\n";
         }

       Or you can process the document as it arrives (second $ua->request() argument is a code reference):

         use LWP::UserAgent;
         $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
         $URL = 'ftp://ftp.unit.no/pub/rfc/rfc-index.txt';

         my $expected_length;
         my $bytes_received = 0;
         my $res =
            $ua->request(HTTP::Request->new(GET => $URL),
                      sub {
                          my($chunk, $res) = @_;
                          $bytes_received += length($chunk);
                          unless (defined $expected_length) {
                             $expected_length = $res->content_length || 0;
                          }
                          if ($expected_length) {
                               printf STDERR "%d%% - ",
                                         100 * $bytes_received / $expected_length;
                          }
                          print STDERR "$bytes_received bytes received\n";

                          # XXX Should really do something with the chunk itself
                          # print $chunk;
                      });
          print $res->status_line, "\n";
