NAME

       Padre::Task::LWP - Generic HTTP client background processing task

SYNOPSIS

         # Fire and forget HTTP request
         Padre::Task::LWP->new(
             request => HTTP::Request->new(
                 GET => 'http://perlide.org',
             ),
         )->schedule;

DESCRIPTION

       Sending and receiving data via HTTP.

METHODS

   new
         my $task = Padre::Task::LWP->new(
             method => 'GET',
             url    => 'http://perlide.org',
         );

       The "new" constructor creates a Padre::Task for a background HTTP request.

       It takes a single addition parameter "request" which is a fully-prepared HTTP::Request object for the
       request.

       Returns a new Padre::Task::LWP object, or throws an exception on error.

   request
       The "request" method returns the HTTP::Request object that was provided to the constructor.

   response
       Before the "run" method has been fired the "response" method returns "undef".

       After the "run" method has been fired the "response" method returns the HTTP::Response object for the
       LWP::UserAgent request.

       Typically, you would use this in the "finish" method for the task, if you wish to take any further
       actions in Padre based on the result of the HTTP call.

SEE ALSO

       This class inherits from "Padre::Task" and its instances can be scheduled using "Padre::TaskManager".

       The transfer of the objects to and from the worker threads is implemented with Storable.
