NAME
HTTP::Tiny::Patch::Cache - Cache HTTP::Tiny responses
VERSION
This document describes version 0.004 of HTTP::Tiny::Patch::Cache (from
Perl distribution HTTP-Tiny-Patch-Cache), released on 2019-04-14.
SYNOPSIS
From Perl:
use HTTP::Tiny::Patch::Cache
# -max_age => 7200, # optional, sets max age, can also be set via environment variables
;
my $res = HTTP::Tiny->new->get("
http://www.example.com/");
my $res2 = HTTP::Tiny->request(GET => "
http://www.example.com/"); # cached response
From command-line (one-liner):
% perl -MHTTP::Tiny::Patch::Cache -E'my $res = HTTP::Tiny->new->get("..."); ...'
To customize cache period (default is one day, the example below sets it
to 2 hours):
% CACHE_MAX_AGE=7200 perl -MHTTP::Tiny::Patch::Cache ...
To clear cache, you can temporarily set cache period to 0:
% CACHE_MAX_AGE=0 perl -MHTTP::Tiny::Patch::Cache ...
Or you can delete *$tempdir/http_tiny_patch_cache/*, where *$tempdir* is
retrieved from File::Util::Tempdir's "get_user_tempdir()".
DESCRIPTION
This module patches HTTP::Tiny to cache responses.
Currently only GET requests are cached. Cache are keyed by
SHA256-hex(URL). Error responses are also cached. Currently no
cache-related HTTP request or response headers (e.g. "Cache-Control")
are respected. This patch is mostly useful when testing (e.g. saving
bandwidth when repeatedly getting huge HTTP pages).
CONFIGURATION
-max_age
Int. Sets maximum age for cache. If not set, will consult environment
variables (see "ENVIRONMENT"). If all environment variables are not set,
will use the default 86400.
FAQ
ENVIRONMENT
CACHE_MAX_AGE
Int. Will be consulted after "HTTP_TINY_PATCH_CACHE_MAX_AGE".
HTTP_TINY_PATCH_CACHE_MAX_AGE
Int. Will be consulted before "CACHE_MAX_AGE".
