I'm a new perl programmer trying to convert a curl request into a Perl script get using LWP:UserAgent.
The curl request example is:
curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -H "Postman-Token: eb3955f1-a7b5-65d7-f5c0-808c7aba6cef" "https://10.51.10.26/10/download?startTime=1461698250&endTime=1461698252&cNat=True&cNatShowDst=True&tuplesFile=True&summarizeTuples=False"
And my PERL equivalent:
use LWP::UserAgent;
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $url = 'https://10.51.10.26/10/download';
my @headers = (
"startTime" => $queryStart,
"endTime" => $queryEnd,
"cNat" => "True",
"cNatShowDst" => "False",
"tuplesFile" => "False",
"summarizeTuples" => "False",
"Authorization" => "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4",
"Cache-Control" => "no-cache",
"Postman-Token" => "eb3955f1-a7b5-65d7-f5c0-808c7aba6cef",
);
Results in - HTTP::Response=HASH(0x27884bc)
Is this the correct way of adding headers?
Your Perl code doesn't result in the HTTP::Response object that you show. It can't possibly do that as your code doesn't actually make a request.
Putting new headers in an array called @headers
isn't going to achieve anything useful either. You need to attach those headers to the request in some way.
LWP includes a useful tutorial . It would be a good idea to read that before trying to do too much with the tools. In particular, it includes a section entitled Adding Other HTTP Request Headers which says:
The most commonly used syntax for requests is
$response = $browser->get($url)
, but in truth, you can add extra HTTP header lines to the request by adding a list of key-value pairs after the URL, like so:$response = $browser->get( $url, $key1, $value1, $key2, $value2, ... );
For example, here's how to send some more Netscape-like headers, in case you're dealing with a site that would otherwise reject your request:
my @ns_headers = ( 'User-Agent' => 'Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Win98; U)', 'Accept' => 'image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg,image/png, */*', 'Accept-Charset' => 'iso-8859-1,*,utf-8', 'Accept-Language' => 'en-US', ); ... $response = $browser->get($url, @ns_headers);
If you weren't reusing that array, you could just go ahead and do this:
$response = $browser->get($url, 'User-Agent' => 'Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Win98; U)', 'Accept' => 'image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, image/png, */*', 'Accept-Charset' => 'iso-8859-1,*,utf-8', 'Accept-Language' => 'en-US', );
If you were only ever changing the 'User-Agent' line, you could just change the
$browser
object's default line from "libwww-perl/5.65" (or the like) to whatever you like, using the LWP::UserAgent agent method:$browser->agent('Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Win98; U)');
It's worth pointing out that LWP::UserAgent also has a default_headers()
method which allows you to define headers which are added to every request made by that useragent.
People have put a lot of effort into creating a lot of useful documentation for Perl tools. That effort is rather wasted if people don't read it.
If you want to do a GET request with custom headers with LWP::UserAgent, you can put them into the $ua->get()
call in the way the documentation describes .
This method will dispatch a GET request on the given $url. Further arguments can be given to initialize the headers of the request. These are given as separate name/value pairs. The return value is a response object. See HTTP::Response for a description of the interface it provides.
Your example is missing the part where you are sending the request, so it's hard to tell what you are doing.
Your @headers
array contains both headers and URL params. That's not going to do what you expect. If you want to construct the URL and the headers like this, you need a different approach.
Use the URI module to create the URI programmatically, then use LWP::UA's get
to send it including the headers.
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use URI;
my $uri = URI->new('https://10.51.10.26/10/download');
$uri->query_form(
"startTime" => $queryStart, # these two need
"endTime" => $queryEnd, # to be set above
"cNat" => "True",
"cNatShowDst" => "False",
"tuplesFile" => "False",
"summarizeTuples" => "False",
);
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $res = $ua->get(
$uri,
"Authorization" => "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4",
"Cache-Control" => "no-cache",
"Postman-Token" => "eb3955f1-a7b5-65d7-f5c0-808c7aba6cef",
);
if ($res->is_success) {
# do stuff with content
} else {
# request failed
}
To output the full HTTP::Response object, use Data::Dumper .
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper $res;
