I notice Filter::HTTPD uses the exported function, url(), from URI::URL.
Well, the version of HTTP::Request isn't happy with it anymore, probably
because I upgraded my libwww-perl.
This fix seems to work, at least with full URLs. I haven't tested anything
weird with it yet (line 124 latest POE CVS of Filter::HTTPD.pm):
use URI();
my $r = HTTP::Request->new($1, URI->new($2));
$r->protocol($proto);
Before, it would barf with this (from HTTP:::Request):
"Carp::croak("Can't use a " . ref($uri) . " object as a URI")
unless $uri->can('scheme');"
I guess URI::URL doesn't support 'scheme'. The docs don't mention anything
about the source has no reference to it. URI() has 'scheme', though.
Actually, the docs for URI::URL seem to indicate indirectly that usage of it
is becoming depreciated in favor of URI():
"This module is provided for backwards compatibility with
modules that depend on the interface provided by the
"URI::URL" class that used to be distributed with the lib-
www-perl library."
