6 lwp-dump - See what headers and content is returned for a URL
7
9 lwp-dump [ options ] URL
10
12 The lwp-dump program will get the resource indentified by the URL and
13 then dump the response object to STDOUT. This will display the headers
14 returned and the initial part of the content, escaped so that it's safe
15 to display even binary content. The escapes syntax used is the same as
16 for Perl's double quoted strings. If there is no content the string
17 "(no content)" is shown in its place.
18
19 The following options are recognized:
20
21 --agent str
22 Override the user agent string passed to the server.
23
24 --keep-client-headers
25 LWP internally generate various "Client-*" headers that are
26 stripped by lwp-dump in order to show the headers exactly as the
27 server provided them. This option will suppress this.
28
29 --max-length n
30 How much of the content to show. The default is 512. Set this to
31 0 for unlimited.
32
33 If the content is longer then the string is chopped at the limit
34 and the string "...\n(### more bytes not shown)" appended.
35
36 --method str
37 Use the given method for the request instead of the default "GET".
38
39 --parse-head
40 By default lwp-dump will not try to initialize headers by looking
41 at the head section of HTML documents. This option enables this.
42 This corresponds to "parse_head" in LWP::UserAgent.
