HTTP::Request::Params(User Contributed Perl DocumentatHTTP::Request::Params(3)NAMEHTTP::Request::Params - Retrieve GET/POST Parameters from HTTP Requests
SYNOPSIS
use HTTP::Request::Params;
my $http_request = read_request();
my $parse_params = HTTP::Request::Params->new({
req => $http_request,
});
my $params = $parse_params->params;
DESCRIPTION
This software does all the dirty work of parsing HTTP Requests to find
incoming query parameters.
new
my $parser = HTTP::Request::Params->new({
req => $http_request,
});
"req" - This required argument is either an "HTTP::Request" object or a
string containing an entier HTTP Request.
Incoming query parameters come from two places. The first place is the
"query" portion of the URL. Second is the content portion of an HTTP
request as is the case when parsing a POST request, for example.
params
my $params = $parser->params;
Returns a hash reference containing all the parameters. The keys in
this hash are the names of the parameters. Values are the values
associated with those parameters in the incoming query. For parameters
with multiple values, the value in this hash will be a list reference.
This is the same behaviour as the "CGI" module's "Vars()" function.
req
my $req_object = $parser->req;
Returns the "HTTP::Request" object.
mime
my $mime_object = $parser->mime;
Returns the "Email::MIME" object.
Now, you may be wondering why we're dealing with an "Email::MIME"
object. The answer is simple. It's an amazing parser for MIME
compliant messages, and RFC 822 compliant messages. When parsing
incoming POST data, especially file uploads, "Email::MIME" is the
perfect fit. It's fast and light.
