NAME

       LWP::Debug - deprecated

DESCRIPTION

       LWP::Debug is used to provide tracing facilities, but these are not used by LWP any more.  The code in
       this module is kept around (undocumented) so that 3rd party code that happens to use the old interfaces
       continue to run.

       One useful feature that LWP::Debug provided (in an imprecise and troublesome way) was network traffic
       monitoring.  The following section provides some hints about recommended replacements.

   Network traffic monitoring
       The best way to monitor the network traffic that LWP generates is to use an external TCP monitoring
       program.  The WireShark <http://www.wireshark.org/> program is highly recommended for this.

       Another approach it to use a debugging HTTP proxy server and make LWP direct all its traffic via this
       one.  Call "$ua->proxy" to set it up and then just use LWP as before.

       For less precise monitoring needs just setting up a few simple handlers might do.  The following example
       sets up handlers to dump the request and response objects that pass through LWP:

         use LWP::UserAgent;
         $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
         $ua->default_header('Accept-Encoding' => scalar HTTP::Message::decodable());

         $ua->add_handler("request_send",  sub { shift->dump; return });
         $ua->add_handler("response_done", sub { shift->dump; return });

         $ua->get("http://www.example.com");
