NAME Nginx::HTTP - asynchronous http client for nginx-perl SYNOPSIS use Nginx; use Nginx::HTTP; ngx_http "1.2.3.4:80", "GET / HTTP/1.1" . "\x0d\x0a" . "Host: localhost" . "\x0d\x0a" . "" . "\x0d\x0a" , sub { my ($headers, $buf_ref) = @_; unless ($headers) { ngx_log_error $!, "error"; return; } ngx_log_notice 0, "got $headers->{'_status'}"; ... }; DESCRIPTION Fast and simple asynchronous http client for nginx-perl. Supports keepalive. EXPORT ngx_http ngx_http_client FUNCTIONS "ngx_http "$ip:$port:key=value;key=value...", $request, sub { }" Establishes new connection with "$ip:$port" and sends raw HTTP request. $request should be either scalar or scalar reference. Additionally there are two options available: "timeout" and "ssl". E.g.: ngx_http "1.2.3.4:443:ssl=1;timeout=15", ... ngx_http "1.2.3.4:80:timeout=15", ... ngx_http "1.2.3.4:80", ... Calls back with parsed response header in $_[0] and scalar reference to the body in $_[1]. $headers = { _status => 503, content-type => ['text/html'], content-length => [1234], ... }; $body = \"foobar"; $body is cleared right after the callback, so you have to copy its content if you want to use it later. On error calls back without any arguments. Tries to reconnect on the next request. For now every connection is cached forever. But you can use "ngx_http_client" to create desired caching behaviour. ngx_http "1.2.3.4:80", "GET / HTTP/1.1" . "\x0d\x0a" . "Host: localhost" . "\x0d\x0a" . "" . "\x0d\x0a" , sub { my ($headers, $body_ref) = @_; unless ($headers) { ngx_log_error $!, "error"; return; } ngx_log_notice 0, "got $headers->{'_status'}"; ... }; SEE ALSO Nginx, HTTP::Parser2::XS AUTHOR Alexandr Gomoliako LICENSE Copyright 2012 Alexandr Gomoliako.
