DESCRIPTION

77       Mojo::UserAgent is a full featured non-blocking I/O HTTP and WebSocket
78       user agent, with IPv6, TLS, SNI, IDNA, HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy, UNIX domain
79       socket, Comet (long polling), Promises/A+, keep-alive, connection
80       pooling, timeout, cookie, multipart, gzip compression and multiple
81       event loop support.
82
83       All connections will be reset automatically if a new process has been
84       forked, this allows multiple processes to share the same
85       Mojo::UserAgent object safely.
86
87       For better scalability (epoll, kqueue) and to provide non-blocking name
88       resolution, SOCKS5 as well as TLS support, the optional modules EV
89       (4.32+), Net::DNS::Native (0.15+), IO::Socket::Socks (0.64+) and
90       IO::Socket::SSL (2.009+) will be used automatically if possible.
91       Individual features can also be disabled with the "MOJO_NO_NNR",
92       "MOJO_NO_SOCKS" and "MOJO_NO_TLS" environment variables.
93
94       See "USER AGENT" in Mojolicious::Guides::Cookbook for more.

EVENTS

97       Mojo::UserAgent inherits all events from Mojo::EventEmitter and can
98       emit the following new ones.
99
100   prepare
101         $ua->on(prepare => sub ($ua, $tx) {...});
102
103       Emitted whenever a new transaction is being prepared, before relative
104       URLs are rewritten and cookies added. This includes automatically
105       prepared proxy "CONNECT" requests and followed redirects.
106
107         $ua->on(prepare => sub ($ua, $tx) {
108           $tx->req->url(Mojo::URL->new('/mock-mojolicious')) if $tx->req->url->host eq 'mojolicious.org';
109         });
110
111   start
112         $ua->on(start => sub ($ua, $tx) {...});
113
114       Emitted whenever a new transaction is about to start. This includes
115       automatically prepared proxy "CONNECT" requests and followed redirects.
116
117         $ua->on(start => sub ($ua, $tx) {
118           $tx->req->headers->header('X-Bender' => 'Bite my shiny metal ass!');
119         });

125         my $ca = $ua->ca;
126         $ua    = $ua->ca('/etc/tls/ca.crt');

153
154       Cookie jar to use for requests performed by this user agent, defaults
155       to a Mojo::UserAgent::CookieJar object.
156
157         # Ignore all cookies
158         $ua->cookie_jar->ignore(sub { 1 });
159
160         # Ignore cookies for public suffixes
161         my $ps = IO::Socket::SSL::PublicSuffix->default;
162         $ua->cookie_jar->ignore(sub ($cookie) {
163           return undef unless my $domain = $cookie->domain;
164           return ($ps->public_suffix($domain))[0] eq '';
165         });
166
167         # Add custom cookie to the jar
168         $ua->cookie_jar->add(
169           Mojo::Cookie::Response->new(
170             name   => 'foo',
171             value  => 'bar',
172             domain => 'docs.mojolicious.org',
173             path   => '/Mojolicious'
174           )
175         );
176
177   inactivity_timeout
178         my $timeout = $ua->inactivity_timeout;
179         $ua         = $ua->inactivity_timeout(15);
180
181       Maximum amount of time in seconds a connection can be inactive before
182       getting closed, defaults to the value of the "MOJO_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT"
183       environment variable or 40. Setting the value to 0 will allow
184       connections to be inactive indefinitely.
185
186   insecure
187         my $bool = $ua->insecure;
188         $ua      = $ua->insecure($bool);
189
190       Do not require a valid TLS certificate to access HTTPS/WSS sites,
191       defaults to the value of the "MOJO_INSECURE" environment variable.
192
193         # Disable TLS certificate verification for testing
194         say $ua->insecure(1)->get('https://127.0.0.1:3000')->result->code;
195
196   ioloop
197         my $loop = $ua->ioloop;
198         $ua      = $ua->ioloop(Mojo::IOLoop->new);
199
200       Event loop object to use for blocking I/O operations, defaults to a
201       Mojo::IOLoop object.
202
203   key
204         my $key = $ua->key;
205         $ua     = $ua->key('/etc/tls/client.crt');
206
207       Path to TLS key file, defaults to the value of the "MOJO_KEY_FILE"
208       environment variable.
209
210   max_connections
211         my $max = $ua->max_connections;
212         $ua     = $ua->max_connections(5);
213
214       Maximum number of keep-alive connections that the user agent will
215       retain before it starts closing the oldest ones, defaults to 5. Setting
216       the value to 0 will prevent any connections from being kept alive.
217
218   max_redirects
219         my $max = $ua->max_redirects;
220         $ua     = $ua->max_redirects(3);

222       Maximum number of redirects the user agent will follow before it fails,
223       defaults to the value of the "MOJO_MAX_REDIRECTS" environment variable
224       or 0.
225
226   max_response_size
227         my $max = $ua->max_response_size;
228         $ua     = $ua->max_response_size(16777216);
229
230       Maximum response size in bytes, defaults to the value of
231       "max_message_size" in Mojo::Message::Response. Setting the value to 0
232       will allow responses of indefinite size. Note that increasing this
233       value can also drastically increase memory usage, should you for
234       example attempt to parse an excessively large response body with the
235       methods "dom" in Mojo::Message or "json" in Mojo::Message.
236
237   proxy
238         my $proxy = $ua->proxy;

255   request_timeout
256         my $timeout = $ua->request_timeout;
257         $ua         = $ua->request_timeout(5);
258
259       Maximum amount of time in seconds establishing a connection, sending
260       the request and receiving a whole response may take before getting
261       canceled, defaults to the value of the "MOJO_REQUEST_TIMEOUT"
262       environment variable or 0.  Setting the value to 0 will allow the user
263       agent to wait indefinitely. The timeout will reset for every followed
264       redirect.

273       Application server relative URLs will be processed with, defaults to a
274       Mojo::UserAgent::Server object.

METHODS

311       Mojo::UserAgent inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and
312       implements the following new ones.
313
314   build_tx
315         my $tx = $ua->build_tx(GET => 'example.com');

319
320       Generate Mojo::Transaction::HTTP object with "tx" in
321       Mojo::UserAgent::Transactor.

325         $tx->req->cookies({name => 'user', value => 'sri'});
326         $tx = $ua->start($tx);
327
328         # Deactivate gzip compression
329         my $tx = $ua->build_tx(GET => 'example.com');
330         $tx->req->headers->remove('Accept-Encoding');
331         $tx = $ua->start($tx);
332
333         # Interrupt response by raising an error
334         my $tx = $ua->build_tx(GET => 'http://example.com');
335         $tx->res->on(progress => sub ($res) {
336           return unless my $server = $res->headers->server;
337           $res->error({message => 'Oh noes, it is IIS!'}) if $server =~ /IIS/;
338         });
339         $tx = $ua->start($tx);
340
341   build_websocket_tx
342         my $tx = $ua->build_websocket_tx('ws://example.com');

346       Mojo::UserAgent::Transactor.
347
348         # Custom WebSocket handshake with cookie

365         my $tx = $ua->delete('http://example.com' => {Accept => '*/*'} => json => {a => 'b'});
366
367       Perform blocking "DELETE" request and return resulting
368       Mojo::Transaction::HTTP object, takes the same arguments as "tx" in
369       Mojo::UserAgent::Transactor (except for the "DELETE" method, which is
370       implied). You can also append a callback to perform requests non-
371       blocking.
372
373         $ua->delete('http://example.com' => json => {a => 'b'} => sub ($ua, $tx) { say $tx->result->body });

378
379       Same as "delete", but performs all requests non-blocking and returns a
380       Mojo::Promise object instead of accepting a callback.
381
382         $ua->delete_p('http://example.com' => json => {a => 'b'})->then(sub ($tx) {
383           say $tx->result->body;

DEBUGGING

625       You can set the "MOJO_CLIENT_DEBUG" environment variable to get some
626       advanced diagnostics information printed to "STDERR".
