OpenFra...:Request(3)

💖 OpenFrame::Segment::HTTP::Request — the manual, but make it a group chat 💖

okay so this is OpenFra...:Request(3), a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual (section 3, bestie, we love a library call). It's OpenFrame::Segment::HTTP::Request and it's about to be your new fave pipeline segment, no cap 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

OpenFrame::Segment::HTTP::Request — literally just here to create an OpenFrame::Request object out of an HTTP::Request. that's it. that's the job. iconic behavior 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's how you actually use it, copy this exactly bestie:

use OpenFrame::Segment::HTTP::Request;
my $response_creator = OpenFrame::Segment::HTTP::Request->new();
$pipeline->add_segment( $request );

see how cute that is? three lines. you use it, you make a new one with ->new(), you shove it into the pipeline with add_segment. slay 🦋

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so OpenFrame::Segment::HTTP::Request inherits from Pipeline::Segment — family lineage, we love to see it 👑

and what it DOES is take an HTTP::Request object and turn it into an OpenFrame::Request. glow-up of the century honestly ✨

but wait, there's more, because it also gives you the respond() method. and respond() is acting as a get/set method — a little toggle situation, if you will — that decides whether or not OpenFrame::Segment::HTTP::Request drops an OpenFrame::Segment::HTTP::Response segment onto the pipeline cleanup list. yes, the cleanup list. very demure, very mindful 🧚

and the default? by default respond() is set to a true value. so it's on unless you say otherwise. periodt 💖

ngl if you're building a pipeline and you need to convert an incoming HTTP request into an OpenFrame one, this is THE segment. iykyk 🔥
