HTTP::Request::FromCurl - create a HTTP::Request from a curl command line
my $req = HTTP::Request::FromCurl->new(
# Note - curl itself may not appear
argv => ['https://example.com'],
);
my $req = HTTP::Request::FromCurl->new(
command => 'https://example.com',
);
my $req = HTTP::Request::FromCurl->new(
command_curl => 'curl -A mycurl/1.0 https://example.com',
);
my @requests = HTTP::Request::FromCurl->new(
command_curl => 'curl -A mycurl/1.0 https://example.com https://www.example.com',
);
# Send the requests
for my $r (@requests) {
$ua->request( $r->as_request )
}
curl command lines are found everywhere in documentation. The Firefox
developer tools can also copy network requests as curl command lines from
the network panel. This module enables converting these to Perl code.
my $req = HTTP::Request::FromCurl->new(
# Note - curl itself may not appear
argv => ['--user-agent', 'myscript/1.0', 'https://example.com'],
);
my $req = HTTP::Request::FromCurl->new(
# Note - curl itself may not appear
command => '--user-agent myscript/1.0 https://example.com',
);
The constructor returns one or more HTTP::Request::CurlParameters objects
that encapsulate the parameters. If the command generates multiple requests,
they will be returned in list context. In scalar context, only the first request
will be returned. Note that the order of URLs between --url and unadorned URLs will be changed in the sense that all unadorned URLs will be handled first.
my $req = HTTP::Request::FromCurl->new(
command => '--data-binary @/etc/passwd https://example.com',
read_files => 1,
);
-
argv
An arrayref of commands as could be given in
@ARGV. -
command
A scalar in a command line, excluding the
curlcommand -
command_curl
A scalar in a command line, including the
curlcommand -
read_files
Do read in the content of files specified with (for example)
--data=@/etc/passwd. The default is to not read the contents of files specified this way.
Contains the default headers added to every request
Contains the Getopt::Long specification of the recognized command line parameters.
The following curl options are recognized but largely ignored:
-
--disable -
--dump-header -
--include -
--location -
--progress-bar -
--show-error -
--fail -
--silent -
--verbose -
--junk-session-cookiesIf you want to keep session cookies between subsequent requests, you need to provide a cookie jar in your user agent.
-
--nextResetting the UA between requests is something you need to handle yourself
-
--parallel -
--parallel-immediate -
--parallel-maxParallel requests is something you need to handle in the UA
my $uri = HTTP::Request::FromCurl->squash_uri(
URI->new( 'https://example.com/foo/bar/..' )
);
# https://example.com/foo/
Helper method to clean up relative path elements from the URI the same way that curl does.

Until somebody writes a robust Netscape cookie file parser and proper loading and storage for HTTP::CookieJar, this module will not be able to load and save files in the format that Curl uses.
You're expected to instruct your UA to load/save cookie jars:
use Path::Tiny;
use HTTP::CookieJar::LWP;
if( my $cookies = $r->cookie_jar ) {
$ua->cookie_jar( HTTP::CookieJar::LWP->new()->load_cookies(
path($cookies)->lines
));
};
The delimiter is built by HTTP::Message, and curl uses a different
mechanism to come up with a unique data delimiter. This results in differences
in the raw body content and the Content-Length header.
-
File uploads / content from files
While file uploads and reading POST data from files are supported, the content is slurped into memory completely. This can be problematic for large files and little available memory.
-
Mixed data instances
Multiple mixed instances of
--data,--data-ascii,--data-raw,--data-binaryor--data-raware sorted by type first instead of getting concatenated in the order they appear on the command line. If the order is important to you, use one type only. -
Multiple sets of parameters from the command line
Curl supports the
--nextcommand line switch which resets parameters for the next URL.This is not (yet) supported.
HTTP::Request::AsCurl - for the inverse function
The module HTTP::Request::AsCurl likely also implements a much better version
of ->as_curl than this module.
