interface should be easy to extend and customize for your
needs.
- The main features of the library are:
-
- o Contains various reuseable components (modules) that
- can be used separately or together.
-
- o Provides an object oriented model of HTTP-style
- communication. Within this framework we currently
- support access to http, gopher, ftp, news, file, and
- mailto resources.
-
- o The library be used through the full object oriented
- interface or through a very simple procedural
- interface.
-
- o Support the basic and digest authorization schemes.
-
- o Transparent redirect handling.
-
- o Supports access through proxy servers.
-
- o URL handling (both absolute and relative URLs are
- supported).
-
- o A parser for robots.txt files and a framework for
- constructing robots.
-
- o An experimental HTML parser and formatters (for
- PostScript and plain text).
-
- o The library can cooperate with Tk. A simple Tk-based
- GUI browser called 'tkweb' is distributed with the Tk
- extention for perl.
-
- o An implementation of the HTTP content negotiation
- algorithm that can be used both in protocol modules and
- in server scripts (like CGI scripts).
-
- o A simple command line client application called lwp-
- request.
