.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module is meant for people who want a simplified view of the
libwww-perl library.  It should also be suitable for one-liners.  If
you need more control or access to the header fields in the requests
sent and responses received, then you should use the full object-oriented
interface provided by the LWP::UserAgent module.
.PP
The module will also export the LWP::UserAgent object as \f(CW$ua\fR if you
ask for it explicitly.
.PP
The user agent created by this module will identify itself as
\&\f(CW\*(C`LWP::Simple/#.##\*(C'\fR
and will initialize its proxy defaults from the environment (by
calling \f(CW\*(C`$ua\->env_proxy\*(C'\fR).
.SH "FUNCTIONS"
.IX Header "FUNCTIONS"
The following functions are provided (and exported) by this module:
.SS "get"
.IX Subsection "get"
.Vb 1
\&    my $res = get($url);
.Ve
.PP
The \fIget()\fR function will fetch the document identified by the given \s-1URL\s0
and return it.  It returns \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR if it fails.  The \f(CW$url\fR argument can
be either a string or a reference to a \s-1URI\s0 object.
.PP
You will not be able to examine the response code or response headers
(like \f(CW\*(C`Content\-Type\*(C'\fR) when you are accessing the web using this
function.  If you need that information you should use the full \s-1OO\s0
interface (see LWP::UserAgent).
.SS "head"
.IX Subsection "head"
.Vb 1
\&    my $res = head($url);
.Ve
.PP
Get document headers. Returns the following 5 values if successful:
($content_type, \f(CW$document_length\fR, \f(CW$modified_time\fR, \f(CW$expires\fR, \f(CW$server\fR)
.PP
Returns an empty list if it fails.  In scalar context returns \s-1TRUE\s0 if
successful.
.SS "getprint"
.IX Subsection "getprint"
.Vb 1
\&    my $code = getprint($url);
.Ve
.PP
Get and print a document identified by a \s-1URL.\s0 The document is printed
to the selected default filehandle for output (normally \s-1STDOUT\s0) as
data is received from the network.  If the request fails, then the
status code and message are printed on \s-1STDERR. \s0 The return value is
the \s-1HTTP\s0 response code.
.SS "getstore"
.IX Subsection "getstore"
.Vb 1
\&    my $code = getstore($url, $file)
.Ve
.PP
Gets a document identified by a \s-1URL\s0 and stores it in the file. The
return value is the \s-1HTTP\s0 response code.
.SS "mirror"
.IX Subsection "mirror"
.Vb 1
\&    my $code = mirror($url, $file);
.Ve
.PP
Get and store a document identified by a \s-1URL,\s0 using
\&\fIIf-modified-since\fR, and checking the \fIContent-Length\fR.  Returns
the \s-1HTTP\s0 response code.
.SH "STATUS CONSTANTS"
.IX Header "STATUS CONSTANTS"
This module also exports the HTTP::Status constants and procedures.
You can use them when you check the response code from \*(L"getprint\*(R" in LWP::Simple,
\&\*(L"getstore\*(R" in LWP::Simple or \*(L"mirror\*(R" in LWP::Simple.  The constants are:
.PP
.Vb 10
\&   RC_CONTINUE
\&   RC_SWITCHING_PROTOCOLS
\&   RC_OK
\&   RC_CREATED
\&   RC_ACCEPTED
\&   RC_NON_AUTHORITATIVE_INFORMATION
\&   RC_NO_CONTENT
\&   RC_RESET_CONTENT
\&   RC_PARTIAL_CONTENT
\&   RC_MULTIPLE_CHOICES
\&   RC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY
\&   RC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY

\&   RC_NOT_ACCEPTABLE
\&   RC_PROXY_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED
\&   RC_REQUEST_TIMEOUT
\&   RC_CONFLICT

\&   RC_PRECONDITION_FAILED
\&   RC_REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE
\&   RC_REQUEST_URI_TOO_LARGE
\&   RC_UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPE
\&   RC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR
\&   RC_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
\&   RC_BAD_GATEWAY
\&   RC_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE
\&   RC_GATEWAY_TIMEOUT
\&   RC_HTTP_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED
.Ve
.SH "CLASSIFICATION FUNCTIONS"
.IX Header "CLASSIFICATION FUNCTIONS"
The HTTP::Status classification functions are:
.SS "is_success"
.IX Subsection "is_success"
.Vb 1
\&    my $bool = is_success($rc);
.Ve
.PP
True if response code indicated a successful request.
.SS "is_error"
.IX Subsection "is_error"
.Vb 1
\&    my $bool = is_error($rc)
.Ve
.PP
True if response code indicated that an error occurred.
.SH "CAVEAT"
.IX Header "CAVEAT"
Note that if you are using both LWP::Simple and the very popular \s-1CGI\s0
module, you may be importing a \f(CW\*(C`head\*(C'\fR function from each module,
producing a warning like \f(CW\*(C`Prototype mismatch: sub main::head ($) vs none\*(C'\fR.
Get around this problem by just not importing LWP::Simple's
\&\f(CW\*(C`head\*(C'\fR function, like so:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&        use LWP::Simple qw(!head);
\&        use CGI qw(:standard);  # then only CGI.pm defines a head()
.Ve
.PP
Then if you do need LWP::Simple's \f(CW\*(C`head\*(C'\fR function, you can just call
it as \f(CW\*(C`LWP::Simple::head($url)\*(C'\fR.
