man HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines () - A filter that outputs only complete lines
NAME
HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines - A filter that outputs only complete lines
SYNOPSIS
use HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines; use MyFilter; # this filter only works on complete lines
my $filter = MyFilter->new();
# stack both filters so that they'll handle text/* responses $proxy->push_filter( mime => 'text/*', response => HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines->new, response => $filter );
# I want my lines to end with '!' # This is equivalent to $/ = '!' in a normal Perl program my $lines = HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines->new('!');
DESCRIPTION
The HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines filter makes sure that the next filter in the filter chain will only receive complete lines. The chunks of data received by the following filters with either end with CW\n or will be the last piece of data for the current HTTP message body.
You can change the idea the filter has of what is a line by passing to its constructor the string it should understand as line ending. CW\n is the default value.
my $filter = HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::lines->new( $sep );
This is similar to modifying $/ in a Perl program. In fact, this filter has a behaviour so similar to modifying $/ that it also knows about paragraph mode and record mode.
Note that the slurp mode is not supported. Please use HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::complete to enable the generic store and forward filter mechanism.
METHODS
This filter defines the following methods, which are automatically called:
- init()
- Initialise the filter with the EOL information.
- filter()
- Keeps unfinished lines for later.
