Hello again Monks,

I want to thank everyone that responds to my questions. I sincerely appreciate the help.

In the past I have received answers for using HTTP::Proxy, and I have learned how to use it and like it a lot. Very fast. My question, now, is about how to use stored header files to recreate the headers for a stored file (URI). I can successfully send the content of the file back to the client via:

my $res = HTTP::Response->new($status_code);
$res->content_type('text/html');
#The following $content contains data within saved file pulled from we
+b
$res->content($content);
    
#Let's push response back to client                       
$self->proxy()->response($res);

I have the raw headers stored in a file, too, and that is what I really want to use rather than only using a
$res->content_type('text/html');

I want to read in the entire file and use it to replicate what was originally received by the server the file was pulled from. Here is a sample of one of the files:

Connection: close
Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2009 02:55:24 GMT
Accept-Ranges: bytes
ETag: "580d7-3e3e-45861df8"
Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) PHP/4.3.4
Content-Length: 15934
Content-Type: image/gif
Last-Modified: Mon, 18 Dec 2006 17:12:40 GMT
Client-Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2009 03:48:49 GMT
Client-Response-Num: 1

Something worth noting is that the header file may contain mulitple lines with the same 'xyz:' field on the left, such as 'Links:'.

I want to read the file into a variable and just use something like the following to set up for returning to client.

# $header_file_content contains information from raw header dump file
$res->headers($header_file_content);

Thank you in advance for your help
