p5-HTTP-MHTTP

Low level access to the HTTP protocol

HTTP::MHTTP - this library provides reasonably low level access to the HTTP protocol, for perl. This does not replace LWP (what possibly could :-) but is a cut for speed. It also supports all of HTTP 1.0, so you have GET, POST, PUT, HEAD, and DELETE. Some support of HTTP 1.1 is available - specifically Transfer-Encoding = chunked and the Keep-Alive extensions. Additionally - rudimentary SSL support compiled in. This effectively enables negotiation of TLS, but does not validate the certificates. A way faster http access library that uses C extension based on mhttp to do the calls.
