HTTP::Tiny::Mech(3)

💅 HTTP::Tiny::Mech

ok so bestie, listen — this is the HTTP::Tiny::Mech page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally a whole vibe. Let me tell you everything ✨

🌸 NAME

HTTP::Tiny::Mech — it wraps a WWW::Mechanize instance up in an HTTP::Tiny-compatible interface. That's it, that's the whole thing 🫶

🎀 VERSION

version 1.001002 — periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS

ok so here's the moment where you actually call it. First up: you got something that expects an HTTP::Tiny instance, and you want HTTP::Mechanize doing the work under the hood:

# Get something that expects an HTTP::Tiny instance
# to work with HTTP::Mechanize under the hood.
#
my $thing => ThingThatExpectsHTTPTiny->new(
  ua => HTTP::Tiny::Mech->new()
);

and then 🦋 the second one — this is the one where you're like "ok but what if it went through WWW::Mechanize::Cached instead":

# Get something that expects HTTP::Tiny
# to work via WWW::Mechanize::Cached
#
my $thing => ThingThatExpectsHTTPTiny->new(
  ua => HTTP::Tiny::Mech->new(
    mechua => WWW::Mechanize::Cached->new( )
  );
);

no cap, that's your whole entry point 💖

💀 DESCRIPTION

ok so real talk: this code is somewhat poorly documented, and highly experimental. Like, the author literally says so. Not me being shady, that's canon 🙈

It's the result of a quick bit of hacking to get MetaCPAN::API working faster via the WWW::Mechanize::Cached module (and gaining cache persistence via CHI) 👑

It works so far for this purpose. That's the bar. It cleared it. slay 🔥

At present, only get and request are implemented, and all other calls fall through to a native HTTP::Tiny. So like, everything else is just gonna be regular HTTP::Tiny behaviour, iykyk.

⚠️ heads up bestie: "somewhat poorly documented" and "highly experimental" are the author's own words — treat this thing like it's still in its experimental era.

🧚 ATTRIBUTES

💜 mechua

This class provides one non-standard parameter not in HTTP::Tiny, called mechua, which is normally an autovivified WWW::Mechanize instance. (autovivified!! it just... appears. main character energy.)

You may override this parameter if you want to provide a custom instance of a WWW::Mechanize class 🌈

⭐ WRAPPED METHODS

🍓 get

Interface should be the same as it is with get in HTTP::Tiny. literally same vibes, no surprises.

🌸 request

Interface should be the same as it is with request in HTTP::Tiny. again — same interface, go off 💅
