p0: way too much work in the long run, you clearly want
to become friends with
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request;
p1: we've all tried variations on this mine just used Sockets....
http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/perlTrick/subStuff/SimpleLib/WebAccess.txt
my $msg = "GET $dtk_url HTTP/1.1\nHost: $dtk_host:$dtk_port\n\n";
print $dtk_sock $msg;
what you technically missed in the HTTP spect is
the second line that is required
p2: I have been playing around with some simple demonstrations of
how to bollock up the mess -
http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/perlTrick/CBO/jobBot/p1b.txt
sub get_web_page {
my ($the_url , $parser, $method, $msg) = @_;
$method ||= 'GET'; # so that we have a default here
my $return_string = "Your Request Failed\n";
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $req = HTTP::Request->new($method => $the_url );
if ($msg && $method eq 'POST') {
$req->header('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$req->content($msg);
}
my $res = $ua->request($req);
if ($res->is_success) {
#
# since we know that we want to have parsers passed in
# as a rule of thumb - why not just, well, have this fixed
#
$return_string = ($parser)? $parser->($res): $res->content;
} else {
$return_string .= $res->error_as_HTML if ($res->is_error);
}
return($return_string);
} # end of get_web_page
HTH....
ciao
