# HTTP::Thin(3pm)

A Thin Wrapper around HTTP::Tiny to play nice with HTTP::Message

## NAME

HTTP::Thin - A Thin Wrapper around HTTP::Tiny to play nice with HTTP::Message

## VERSION

version 0.006

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use 5.12.1;
    use HTTP::Request::Common;
    use HTTP::Thin;
    say HTTP::Thin->new()->request(GET 'http://example.com')->as_string;
```

## DESCRIPTION

WARNING: This module is untested beyond the very basics. The implementation is simple enough that it shouldn't do evil things but, yeah it's still not approved for use by small children.

`"HTTP::Thin"` is a thin wrapper around HTTP::Tiny adding the ability to pass in HTTP::Request objects and get back HTTP::Response objects. The maintainers of HTTP::Tiny, justifiably, don't want to have to maintain compatibility but many other projects already consume the HTTP::Message objects. This is just glue code doing what it does best.

## METHODS

### request

In addition to the parameters documented in HTTP::Tiny, `"HTTP::Thin"` takes HTTP::Request objects as well.

The return value is an HTTP::Response object.

## WHY?

A conversation on IRC lead to `"mst"`, `"ether"`, and I agreeing that this would be a useful module but probably not worth the effort. I wrote it anyway to get it out of my head.
