NAME
   HTTP::Response::Encoding - Adds encoding() to HTTP::Response

VERSION
   Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS
     use LWP::UserAgent;
     use HTTP::Response::Encoding;

     my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
     my $res = $ua->get("http://www.example.com/");
     warn $res->encoding;
     print $res->decoded_content;

EXPORT
   Nothing.

METHODS
   This module adds the following methods to HTTP::Response objects.

   "$res->encoding"
     Tells the content encoding in the canonical name in Encode. Returns
     undef if it can't.

     For most cases, you are more likely to successfully find encoding
     after GET than HEAD. HTTP::Response is smart enough to parse

       <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=whatever"/>

     But you need the content to let HTTP::Response parse it. If you don't
     want to retrieve the whole content but interested in its encoding, try
     something like below;

       my $req =  HTTP::Request->new(GET => $uri);
       $req->headers->header(Range => "bytes=0-4095"); # just 1st 4k
       my $res = $ua->request($req);
       warn $res->encoding;

   "$res->decoded_content"
     Returns "$res->content" but decoded to Perl utf8 string.

     Roughly equivalent to the code below.

       Encode::decode($res->encoding, $res->content)

     Note it croaks when $res->encoding is false. So you should check
     "$res->encoding" before using this method.

       # i.e.
       $content = $res->decoded_content if $res->encoding.

     Also note that the meta tag remains intact.
