Re: Creating A Request

Have you tried HTTP::Headers?

use HTTP::Headers;

my $h = HTTP::Headers->new();

$h->header('Content-Length' => 61 );
$h->header('Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencod
ed');

my $request = HTTP::Request->new( 'POST', 'http://www.perl.org/survey.
+cgi', $h );

my $response = $ua->request( $request );

I think this is the correct usage, but it's untried. Check out the man pages for HTTP::Request and HTTP::Headers for more detail.

This won't work, because I need to use explicitly the form of: `POST http://www.perl.org/survey.cgi Content-Length: 61 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded name=Gisle&email=gisle40aas.no&gender=m&born=1964&trust=3%25` [download] As that's what my users will be inputting. In addition, can't some of this code not concern the headers? (The input will be a HTTP request, persuant to the appropriate RFCs.)	[reply] [d/l]
