HTTP::Easy(3)

🌸 HTTP::Easy 💅

okay bestie, so this is HTTP::Easy, a Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual. It's literally a "Useful set for work with HTTP" — that's the whole NAME line, no cap. Think of it as a little toolkit for juggling HTTP headers and cookies without wanting to scream. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the vibe in code form, copy it exactly bestie:

    use HTTP::Easy::Headers;
    my $h = "Connection: close\015\012".
        "Expect: continue-100\015\012".
        "Content-Type: text/html";

    my $hash = HTTP::Easy::Headers->decode($h);

    $hash->{connection};     # 'close'
    $hash->{expect};         # 'continue-100'
    $hash->{'content-type'}; # 'text/html'

    my $hdr = HTTP::Easy::Headers->encode($hash);

    use HTTP::Easy::Cookie;

    my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Easy::Cookie->decode($hdr->{cookie});

    $hdr->{cookie} = HTTP::Easy::Cookie->encode($cookie_jar, host => 'example.net', path => '/path' );

so you decode a raw header string into a hash, encode it back out, and the cookie submodule does the same glow-up for cookies — decode gives you a cookie jar, encode turns it back into a header string. slay ✨
