IO::Lambda::HTTP(3)

💖 IO::Lambda::HTTP(3) — http requests, lambda style 💅

okay so bestie, this is the IO::Lambda::HTTP(3) page — a Perl module that makes HTTP requests the lambda way ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

IO::Lambda::HTTP — http requests lambda style, no cap 🦋

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

The module exports a single condition called http_request that accepts a HTTP::Request object plus a set of options as parameters. The way that it works: the condition returns either an HTTP::Response on success, or an error string otherwise. That's the whole vibe. Simple, iconic, periodt 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use HTTP::Request;
use IO::Lambda qw(:all);
use IO::Lambda::HTTP qw(http_request);

lambda {
   context shift;
   http_request {
      my $result = shift;
      if ( ref($result)) {
         print "good: ", length($result-> content), " bytes\n";
      } else {
         print "bad: $result\n";
      }
   }
}-> wait(
    HTTP::Request-> new( GET => "http://www.perl.com/")
);

literally the whole flow right there 🫶

💜 API 💜

⭐ http_request $HTTP::Request -> $HTTP::Response

http_request is a lambda condition that accepts a HTTP::Request object in the context. It returns either a HTTP::Response object on success, or an error string otherwise. That's the deal — ref check it and you'll know which one you got 😭

🦋 new $HTTP::Request :: () -> $HTTP::Response

See "new" in IO::Lambda::HTTP::Client 👀

💀 BUGS 💀

Non-blocking connects — and honestly, the whole module because of that — don't work on win32 on perl5.8.X, thanks to an under-implementation in ext/IO.xs. They do work on 5.10 however. so like... upgrade, bestie 🙈
