HTTP::MHTTP - this library provides reasonably low level access to the
HTTP protocol, for perl. This does not replace LWP (what possibly could
:-) but is a cut for speed. It also supports all of HTTP 1.0, so you
have GET, POST, PUT, HEAD, and DELETE. Some support of HTTP 1.1 is
available - specifically Transfer-Encoding = chunked and the Keep-Alive
extensions.
Additionally - rudimentary SSL support compiled in. This effectively
enables negotiation of TLS, but does not validate the certificates.
A way faster http access library that uses C extension based on mhttp to
do the calls.
