NAME

Future::HTTP - provide the most appropriate HTTP client with a Future API

SYNOPSIS

my $ua = Future::HTTP->new();
my $res = $ua->http_get('http://www.nethype.de/')->then(sub {
    my( $body, $data ) = @_;
    # ... handle the response
    return $body
})->get();

This module is a wrapper combining Future with the API provided by AnyEvent::HTTP. The backend used for the HTTP protocols depends on whether one of the event loops is loaded.

Supported event loops

Currently, the following backends are supported:

Support is planned for LWP::UserAgent and POE but has not materialized yet.

METHODS

`Future::HTTP->new()`

my $ua = Future::HTTP->new();

Creates a new instance of the HTTP client.

`$ua->is_async()`

Returns true if the selected backend is asynchronous, false if it is synchronous.

`$ua->http_get($url, %options)`

my $res = $ua->http_get('http://example.com/',
    headers => {
        'Accept' => 'text/json',
    },
)->then(sub {
    my( $body, $headers ) = @_;
    # ... handle the response
})->get;

Retrieves the URL and returns the body and headers, like the function in AnyEvent::HTTP.

`$ua->http_head($url, %options)`

my $res = $ua->http_head('http://example.com/',

    },
)->then(sub {
    my( $body, $headers ) = @_;
    ...
})->get;

Retrieves the header of the URL and returns the headers, like the function in AnyEvent::HTTP.

`$ua->http_post($url, $body, %options)`

my $res = $ua->http_post('http://example.com/api',
    '{token:"my_json_token"}',
    headers => {
        'Accept' => 'text/json',
    },
)->then(sub {
    my( $body, $headers ) = @_;
    ...

    headers => {
        'Accept' => 'text/json',
