NAME

       lwp-dump - See what headers and content is returned for a URL

SYNOPSIS

       lwp-dump [ options ] URL

DESCRIPTION

       The lwp-dump program will get the resource identified by the URL and then dump the response object to
       STDOUT.  This will display the headers returned and the initial part of the content, escaped so that it's
       safe to display even binary content.  The escapes syntax used is the same as for Perl's double quoted
       strings.  If there is no content the string "(no content)" is shown in its place.

       The following options are recognized:

       --agent str
           Override the user agent string passed to the server.

       --keep-client-headers
           LWP internally generate various "Client-*" headers that are stripped by lwp-dump in order to show the
           headers exactly as the server provided them.  This option will suppress this.

       --max-length n
           How much of the content to show.  The default is 512.  Set this to 0 for unlimited.

           If the content is longer then the string is chopped at the limit and the string "...\n(### more bytes
           not shown)" appended.

       --method str
           Use the given method for the request instead of the default "GET".

       --parse-head
           By default lwp-dump will not try to initialize headers by looking at the head section of HTML
           documents.  This option enables this.  This corresponds to "parse_head" in LWP::UserAgent.

       --request
           Also dump the request sent.
