=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is a wrapper around AnyEvent::HTTP with cookies and some additional
headers. 

The get() and post() methods behave the same as http_request but $hdr->{'set-cookie'}.
AnyEvent::HTTP::http_request returns $hdr->{'set-cookie'} as string, but this working 
cause problem. (HTTP::Cookies cannot parse stringified Set-Cookie header.) So using 
this module, you would get $hdr->{'set-cookie'} as arrayref.

If you want to login into cookies-required web service, you should use callback. For example,

    $client->post($login_form, [ username => '', passowrd => ''  ], sub {
        my ($body1, $hdr1) = @_;
        $client->get($content_url, sub {
            my ($body2, $hdr2) = @_;
            # $body2
        });
    });

=head2 The reason why this module uses HTTP::Cookies to process cookie

=over 4

=item *

As far as I know, passing hashref style cookie_jar to AE::HTTP::http_request is 
too ridiculous to make time to write cookie parser.

=item *

I think that it would be better off using trusted modules (like HTTP::Cookies) than 
writing a own parser.

=item *

Thinking exsistence of security problem, it's a nightmare.

=head1 METHODS

See also DESCRIPTION. You have to pay attention to use get() or post() method.

=over 4

=item AnyEvent::HTTP::Simple->new

Constructor.

=item $client->timeout

=item $client->timeout($seconds)

You can get/set the timeout.

=item $client->agent

=item $client->agent($user_agent_name)

This is used to get/set an User-Agent header into HTTP request headers.

=item $client->cookie_jar

=item $client->cookie_jar($cookie_jar)

This is used to get/set the HTTP::Cookies object.
Usage is very similar to LWP::UserAgent.

=item $client->get($url, $cb)

This method is a wrapper for HTTP::Request::Common::GET().
The last argument must be a callback.

=item $client->post($url, [], $cb) 

This method is a wrapper for HTTP::Request::Common::POST().
The last argument must be a callback.
If you want post content, see SYNOPSIS. There is an example.
For more details, see also HTTP::Request::Common.

Excellent! How about uploading it to CPAN?

Hi, y.

Thank you for your comment.
I will not upload this module to CPAN.
If you want to use AnyEvent::HTTP::Simple, you should check out https://github.com/punytan/AnyEvent-HTTP-Simple and modify Makefile.PL.

The reason why I will not to do is:

• The repository has no test without checking compilation errors so the implementation is not reliable.
• Tatsumaki::HTTPClient does the same thing without a behavior around cookies.

If you ask me to upload this to CPAN, I would tell you about what you can do. That is, fork it, write many tests and send a pull request to me.
When you have done it, I'll be glad to do what you want :)

regards,
