NAME
       HTTP::Request - Class encapsulating HTTP Requests

SYNOPSIS
	require HTTP::Request;
	$request = new HTTP::Request 'GET', 'http://www.oslonett.no/';

DESCRIPTION
       HTTP::Request is a class encapsulating HTTP style
       requests, consisting of a request line, a MIME header, and
       optional content. Note that the LWP library also uses this
       HTTP style requests for non-HTTP protocols.

       Instances of this class are usually passed to the
       request() method of an LWP::UserAgent object:

	$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
	$request = new HTTP::Request 'http://www.oslonett.no/';
	$response = $ua->request($request);

METHODS
       HTTP::Request is a subclass of HTTP::Message and therefore
       inherits its methods.  The inherited methods are header(),
       push_header(), remove_header(), headers_as_string() and
       content().  See the HTTP::Message manpage for details.

       $r = new HTTP::Request $method, $url, [$header,
       [$content]]

       Constructs a new HTTP::Request object describing a request
       on the object $url using method $method.	 The $url
       argument can be either a string, or a reference to a
       URI::URL object.	 The $header argument should be a
       reference to a HTTP::Headers object.

	$request = new HTTP::Request 'GET', 'http://www.oslonett.no/';

       $r->method([$val])

       $r->url([$val])

       These methods provide public access to the member
       variables containing respectively the method of the
       request and the URL object of the request.

       If an argument is given the member variable is given that
       as its new value. If no argument is given the value is not
       touched. In either case the previous value is returned.

       The url() method accept both a reference to a URI::URL

       object and a string as its argument.  If a string is
       given, then it should be parseable as an absolute URL.

       $r->as_string()

       Method returning a textual representation of the request.
       Mainly useful for debugging purposes. It takes no
       arguments.
