HTTP::Tiny::Mech(3)

NAME
HTTP::Tiny::Mech - Wrap a WWW::Mechanize instance in an HTTP::Tiny compatible interface.

VERSION
version 1.001002

SYNOPSIS
  # Get something that expects an HTTP::Tiny instance
  # to work with HTTP::Mechanize under the hood.
  #
  my $thing => ThingThatExpectsHTTPTiny->new(
    ua => HTTP::Tiny::Mech->new()
  );

  # Get something that expects HTTP::Tiny
  # to work via WWW::Mechanize::Cached
  #
  my $thing => ThingThatExpectsHTTPTiny->new(
    ua => HTTP::Tiny::Mech->new(
      mechua => WWW::Mechanize::Cached->new( )
    );
  );

DESCRIPTION
This code is somewhat poorly documented, and highly experimental.

Its the result of a quick bit of hacking to get "MetaCPAN::API" working faster via the "WWW::Mechanize::Cached" module ( and gaining cache persistence via "CHI" )

It works so far for this purpose.

At present, only "get" and "request" are implemented, and all other calls fall through to a native "HTTP::Tiny".

ATTRIBUTES

  "mechua"
This class provides one non-standard parameter not in HTTP::Tiny, "mechua", which is normally an autovivified "WWW::Mechanize" instance.

You may override this parameter if you want to provide a custom instance of a "WWW::Mechanize" class.

WRAPPED METHODS

  get
Interface should be the same as it is with "get" in HTTP::Tiny.

  request
Interface should be the same as it is with "request" in HTTP::Tiny
