Intercepting the HTTP::Request

rootcho has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hi,

I'm trying to see what happens with the request. I do something like this :

sub WWW::Mechanize::_make_request {
    my($self) = shift;
    my $req = $self->SUPER::request(@_);
    print Dumper $req;
    return $req
}
[download]

w/o big success. I also tried similar thing with LWP::UserAgent::prepare_request(), again no success.
Any other ideas ?

If you're trying to re-define WWW::Mechanize's _make_request method, maybe `... package WWW::Mechanize; sub _make_request { my($self) = shift; my $req = $self->SUPER::request(@_); print Dumper $req; return $req } ...` [download] is what you want ? Another possible problem might be that you suppose that WWW::Mechanize's STDOUT (where Dumper would write to) is something that comes in handy to you. That isn't really granted ;)	[reply] [d/l]

No, I tried this too, also didn't work.. But I've done what I want this way : http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=615669 Even that I would liked to do it trough, this way it wouldn't involve using external module.	[reply]

what are you trying to achieve? maybe there's another solution for your task. -------------------------------- masses are the opiate for religion.	[reply]
