💖 IO::All::HTTPS 💖

okay bestie so this is IO::All::HTTPS, a lil extension of IO::All that makes HTTPS URLs behave like, actual files you can just open and read from. it's giving glow-up for the web. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use IO::All;

$content < io('https://example.org');   # GET webpage

# two ways of getting a page with a password:
$content < io('https://me:secret@example.org');
$content < io('https://example.org')->user('me')->password('secret');

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this module extends IO::All so it can handle HTTPS URLs, no cap. and here's the slay part: you don't even have to use it yourself. IO::All autoloads it the second it spots something that looks like an HTTPS URL. it just knows. iykyk. 💅

the SYNOPSIS up there shows some cute simple examples, but honestly there are SO many other fun combos with other IO::All features. like, you can grab an HTTPS URL and write the content to a socket?? or to an FTP URL?? or to a DBM file?? the crossover episodes are real. 🔥

👑 METHODS 👑

this is a subclass of IO::All::LWP, periodt. the only new method is https, and it does two things:

  • it can create a blank IO::All::HTTPS object for you
  • or it can take an HTTPS URL as a parameter

but ngl, most of the time it's just simpler to call io('https://example.com') — that calls the https method automatically for you. main character convenience energy. ✨

💀 OPERATOR OVERLOADING 💀

same operators as IO::All, no new ones to learn:

  • < GETs an HTTPS URL
  • > PUTs to an HTTPS URL
