NAME

LWPx::UserAgent::Cached - Subclass of LWP::UserAgent that caches HTTP GET requests

VERSION

version 0.004

SYNOPSIS

use LWPx::UserAgent::Cached;
use CHI;

my $ua = LWPx::UserAgent::Cached->new(
    cache => CHI->new(
        driver => 'File', root_dir => '/tmp/cache', expires_in => '1d',
    ),
);
$ua->get('http://www.perl.org/');

DESCRIPTION

This module borrows the caching logic from WWW::Mechanize::Cached but without inheriting from WWW::Mechanize; instead it is just a direct subclass of LWP::UserAgent.

ATTRIBUTES

cache

Settable at construction, defaults to using CHI::Driver::RawMemory with an instance-specific hash datastore and a namespace with the current package name. You can use your own caching object here as long as it has get and set methods.

is_cached

Read-only accessor that indicates if the current request is cached or not.

cache_undef_content_length

Settable at construction or anytime thereafter, indicates whether we should cache content even if the HTTP Content-Length header is missing or undefined. Defaults to false.

cache_zero_content_length

Settable at construction or anytime thereafter, indicates whether we should cache content even if the HTTP Content-Length header is zero. Defaults to false.

cache_mismatch_content_length

Settable at construction or anytime thereafter, indicates whether we should cache content even if the length of the data does not match the HTTP Content-Length header. Defaults to true.

ref_in_cache_key

Settable at construction or anytime thereafter, indicates whether we should store the HTTP referrer in the cache key. Defaults to false.

positive_cache

Settable at construction or anytime thereafter, indicates whether we should only cache positive responses (HTTP response codes from 200 to 300 inclusive) or cache everything. Defaults to true.

HANDLERS
