NAME¶

Padre::Task::LWP - Generic HTTP client background processing task

SYNOPSIS¶

  # Fire and forget HTTP request
  Padre::Task::LWP->new(
      request => HTTP::Request->new(
          GET => 'http://perlide.org',
      ),
  )->schedule;

DESCRIPTION¶

Sending and receiving data via HTTP.

METHODS¶

new¶

  my $task = Padre::Task::LWP->new(
      method => 'GET',
      url    => 'http://perlide.org',
  );

The "new" constructor creates a Padre::Task for a background HTTP request. It takes a single addition parameter "request" which is a fully-prepared HTTP::Request object for the request. Returns a new Padre::Task::LWP object, or throws an exception on error.

request¶

The "request" method returns the HTTP::Request object that was provided to the constructor.

response¶

Before the "run" method has been fired the "response" method returns "undef". After the "run" method has been fired the "response" method returns the HTTP::Response object for the LWP::UserAgent request. Typically, you would use this in the "finish" method for the task, if you wish to take any further actions in Padre based on the result of the HTTP call.

SEE ALSO¶

This class inherits from "Padre::Task" and its instances can be scheduled using "Padre::TaskManager". The transfer of the objects to and from the worker threads is implemented with Storable.
