IO::Lambda::HTTP(3p)

NAME
IO::Lambda::HTTP - http requests lambda style

DESCRIPTION
The module exports a single condition "http_request" that accepts a "HTTP::Request" object and set of options as parameters. The condition returns either a "HTTP::Response" on success, or an error string otherwise.

SYNOPSIS
   use HTTP::Request;
   use IO::Lambda qw(:all);
   use IO::Lambda::HTTP qw(http_request);

   lambda {
      context shift;
      http_request {
         my $result = shift;
         if ( ref($result)) {
            print "good: ", length($result-> content), " bytes\n";
         } else {
            print "bad: $result\n";
         }
      }
   }-> wait(
       HTTP::Request-> new( GET => "http://www.perl.com/")
   );

BUGS
Non-blocking connects, and hence the module, don't work on win32 on perl5.8.X due to under-implementation in ext/IO.xs. They do work on 5.10 however.
