P5-http-simple

Simple procedural interface to HTTP::Tiny

HTTPSimple is a wrapper of HTTPTiny that provides simplified functions for performing HTTP requests in a similar manner to LWPSimple, but with slightly more useful error handling. For full control of the request process and response handling, use HTTPTiny directly.

IOSocketSSL is required for HTTPS requests with HTTPTiny.

Request methods that return the body content of the response will return a byte string suitable for directly printing, but that may need to be decoded for text operations.

The HTTPTiny object used by these functions to make requests can be accessed as $HTTPSimpleUA for example, to configure the timeout, or replace it with a compatible object like HTTPTinyish.

The JSON encoder used by the JSON functions defaults to a JSONPP instance, and can be accessed as $HTTPSimpleJSON.
