NAME

6       HTTP::Request::Params - Retrieve GET/POST Parameters from HTTP Requests
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use HTTP::Request::Params;
10
11         my $http_request = read_request();
12         my $parse_params = HTTP::Request::Params->new({
13                              req => $http_request,
14                            });
15         my $params       = $parse_params->params;

DESCRIPTION

18       This software does all the dirty work of parsing HTTP Requests to find
19       incoming query parameters.
20
21   new
22         my $parser = HTTP::Request::Params->new({
23                         req => $http_request,
24                      });
25
26       "req" - This required argument is either an "HTTP::Request" object or a
27       string containing an entier HTTP Request.
28
29       Incoming query parameters come from two places. The first place is the
30       "query" portion of the URL. Second is the content portion of an HTTP
31       request as is the case when parsing a POST request, for example.
32
33   params
34         my $params = $parser->params;
35
36       Returns a hash reference containing all the parameters. The keys in
37       this hash are the names of the parameters. Values are the values
38       associated with those parameters in the incoming query. For parameters
39       with multiple values, the value in this hash will be a list reference.
40       This is the same behaviour as the "CGI" module's "Vars()" function.
41
42   req
43         my $req_object = $parser->req;
44
45       Returns the "HTTP::Request" object.
46
47   mime
48         my $mime_object = $parser->mime;
49
50       Returns the "Email::MIME" object.
51
52       Now, you may be wondering why we're dealing with an "Email::MIME"
53       object.  The answer is simple. It's an amazing parser for MIME
54       compliant messages, and RFC 822 compliant messages. When parsing
55       incoming POST data, especially file uploads, "Email::MIME" is the
56       perfect fit. It's fast and light.
