=head1 NAME

HTTP::Request::Common - Construct common HTTP::Request objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use HTTP::Request::Common;
  $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
  $ua->request(GET 'http://www.sn.no/');
  $ua->request(POST 'http://somewhere/foo', [foo => bar, bar => foo]);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provide functions that return newly created HTTP::Request
objects.  These functions are usually more convenient than the
standard HTTP::Request constructor for these common requests.  The
following functions are provided.

=over 4

=item GET $url, [Header => Value,...]

The GET() function returns a HTTP::Request object initialized with the
GET method and the specified URL.  Without additional arguments it
is exactly equivalent to the following call

  HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url)

but is less clutter.  It also reads better when used together with the
LWP::UserAgent->request() method:

  my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
  my $res = $ua->request(GET 'http://www.sn.no')
  if ($res->is_success) { ...

You can also initialize the header values in the request by specifying
some key/value pairs as optional arguments.  For instance:

  $ua->request(GET 'http://www.sn.no',
               If_Match => 'foo',
                   From     => '[e-mail]',
              );

A header key called 'Content' is special and when seen the value will
initialize the content part of the request instead of setting a header.

=item HEAD $url, [Header => Value,...]

Like GET() but the method in the request is HEAD.

=item PUT $url, [Header => Value,...]

Like GET() but the method in the request is PUT.

=item POST $url, [$form_ref], [Header => Value,...]

This works mostly like GET() with POST as method, but this function
also takes a second optional array reference parameter ($form_ref).
This argument can be used to pass key/value pairs for the form
content.  By default we will initialize a request using the
C<application/x-www-form-urlencoded> content type.  This means that
you can emulate a HTML E<lt>form> POSTing like this:

  POST 'http://www.perl.org/survey.cgi',
       [ name  => 'Gisle',
         email => '[e-mail]',
         gender => 'm',
         born   => '1964',
         trust  => '3%',
    ];

This will create a HTTP::Request object that looks like this:

  POST http://www.perl.org/survey.cgi
  Content-Length: 61
  Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

  name=Gisle&email=gisle%40aas.no&gender=m&born=1964&trust=3%25

The POST method also supports the C<multipart/form-data> content used
for I<Form-based File Upload> as specified in RFC 1867.  You trigger
this content format by specifying a content type of C<'form-data'>.
If one of the values in the $form_ref is an array reference, then it
is treated as a file part specification with the following values:

  [ $file, $filename, Header => Value... ]

The first value in the array ($file) is the name of a file to open.
This file will be read an its content placed in the request.  The
routine will croak if the file can't be opened.  Use an undef as $file
value if you want to specify the content directly.  The $filename is
the filename to report in the request.  If this value is undefined,
then the basename of the $file will be used.  You can specify an empty
string as $filename if you don't want any filename in the request.

Sending my F<~/.profile> to the survey used as example above can be
achieved by this:

  POST 'http://www.perl.org/survey.cgi',
       Content_Type => 'form-data',
       Content      => [ name  => 'Gisle Aas',
                         email => '[e-mail]',
                         gender => 'm',
                         born   => '1964',
                         init   => ["$ENV{HOME}/.profile"],
                       ]

This will create a HTTP::Request object that almost looks this (the
boundary and the content of your F<~/.profile> is likely to be
different):

  POST http://www.perl.org/survey.cgi
  Content-Length: 388
  Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary="6G+f"

  --6G+f
  Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name"

  Gisle Aas
  --6G+f
  Content-Disposition: form-data; name="email"

  [e-mail]
  --6G+f
  Content-Disposition: form-data; name="gender"

  m
  --6G+f
  Content-Disposition: form-data; name="born"

  1964
  --6G+f
  Content-Disposition: form-data; name="init"; filename=".profile"
  Content-Type: text/plain

  PATH=/local/perl/bin:$PATH
  export PATH

  --6G+f--
