NAME

HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::complete - A filter that passes on a complete body or nothing

SYNOPSIS

    use HTTP::Proxy;
    use HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::simple;
    use HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::complete;

    my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new;

    # pass the complete response body to our filter (in one pass)
    $proxy->push_filter(
        mime => 'text/html',
        response => HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::complete->new,
        response => HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::simple->new(
            sub {
                # some complex processing that needs
                # the whole response body
            }
        );
    );

    $proxy->start;

DESCRIPTION

The HTTP::Proxy::BodyFilter::complete filter will ensure that the next filter in the filter chain will only receive complete messages body (either request or response).

It will store the chunks of data as they arrive, only to pass the entire message body after the whole message has been received by the proxy.

Subsequent filters is the chain will receive the whole body as a big piece of data.

CAVEAT EMPTOR

This consumes memory and time.

Use with caution, otherwise your client will timeout, or your proxy will run out of memory.

METHOD

This filter has only one method, called automatically:

filter()

Stores the incoming data in memory until the last moment. The data is then released to the subsequent filters in the chain.
