💖 LWP::P...ketUnix(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the manual name is literally LWP::P...ketUnix(3pm) (yes the title is truncated like that, don't come for me, that's just how it's filed 🫶). Buckle up, because this one is short and iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

LWP::Protocol::http::SocketUnix — speak HTTP through UNIX sockets 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use LWP::Protocol::http::SocketUnix;
LWP::Protocol::implementor( http => 'LWP::Protocol::http::SocketUnix' );
...

that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so LWP::Protocol::http::UnixSocket (yes, the description calls it that, we're keeping it fr fr) enables you to speak HTTP through UNIX sockets. it's giving "who needs ports when you have filesystem paths" 😌

to use it, you need to overwrite the implementor class of the LWP 'http' scheme. after that, ALL 'http' URIs will now be interpreted as local sockets by LWP. like, every single one. no cap. so be normal about it 🙈

the interface of LWP::Protocol::http::SocketUnix is similar to LWP::Protocol::http, which LWP::Protocol::http::SocketUnix inherits from. so if you already know that one, you already know this one. periodt. 💅
