🦋 POE::Component::Client::HTTP::RequestFactory — the vibe

okay bestie, welcome to POE::Component::Client::HTTP::RequestFactory, aka an HTTP request factory object. That's the whole name, we're not shortening it, it's iconic 💅

This page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, filed under manual page 3pm (we're folding that in so it doesn't just sit there awkwardly at the top).

Version: 0.949 ✨ — yes, girl, we know the version, it's right there.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

# Used internally by POE::Component::Client::HTTP

That's it. That's the synopsis. She's a private girlie, she's for internal use, no cap. 🎀

---

💖 CONSTRUCTOR 💖

new

Creates a brand-new request factory object, slay. She wants her parameters handed to her in a hashref, like the main character she is. 🫶

The following parameters get accepted — and if you want the full tea on any of them, they're explained in detail in POE::Component::Client::HTTP:

• Agent
• MaxSize
• Streaming
• Protocol
• From
• CookieJar
• NoProxy
• Proxy
• FollowRedirects
• Timeout

All ten. Counted them twice. No skips, no skimming, periodt. 👑

---

🌈 METHODS 🌈

timeout [$timeout]

The method that lets you query and/or change the timeout value for requests created by this factory. She's flexible like that. 💜

is_streaming

Accessor for the Streaming parameter. Just vibes, just reading. ✨

agent

Accessor to the Agent parameter. Say hi to her. 🌸

from

Getter/setter for the From parameter. Read it, write it, whatever you need, bestie. 🎀

create_request

Creates a new POE::Component::Client::HTTP::Request. She's making babies (objects). 🦋

max_response_size

Method to retrieve the maximum size of a response, as set by the "MaxSize" parameter to Client::HTTP's "spawn()" method. Big fan of boundaries honestly. 💅

block_size

Accessor for the Streaming parameter. (Yes, same parameter as is_streaming — she contains multitudes. 🙈)

frob_cookies $response

Stores the cookies from the HTTP::Response parameter passed in, straight into our cookie jar. Cookie jar stays stocked, as she should. 🍓

max_redirect_count [$count]

Function to get/set the maximum number of redirects to follow automatically. This lets you retrieve or modify the value you passed with the FollowRedirects parameter to Client::HTTP's "spawn" method. 🔥

parse_proxy $proxy

This one is a static method, used for parsing proxies. The $proxy can be:

• an array reference like [host, port], or
• a comma separated string like "http://1.2.3.4:80/,http://2.3.4.5:80/"

parse_proxy() returns an array reference of two-element tuples (which are also array references), each one holding a host and a port:

[ [ host1, port1 ],
  [ host2, port2 ],
  ...
]

Nested arrays, nested energy. 🧚

Heads up bestie: this whole thing is documented as used internally by POE::Component::Client::HTTP, so if you're poking at it directly, know what you're doing. 💀

okay that's the page!! every single parameter, every method, every return shape, all of it, preserved like a pressed flower 🌸
