NAME
HTTP::Status - HTTP Status code processing
VERSION
version 6.36
SYNOPSIS
use HTTP::Status qw(:constants :is status_message);
if ($rc != HTTP_OK) {
print status_message($rc), "\n";
}
if (is_success($rc)) { ... }
if (is_error($rc)) { ... }
if (is_redirect($rc)) { ... }
DESCRIPTION
HTTP::Status is a library of routines for defining and classifying HTTP status codes for
libwww-perl. Status codes are used to encode the overall outcome of an HTTP response
message. Codes correspond to those defined in RFC 2616 and RFC 2518.
CONSTANTS
The following constant functions can be used as mnemonic status code names. None of these
are exported by default. Use the ":constants" tag to import them all.

FUNCTIONS
The following additional functions are provided. Most of them are exported by default.
The ":is" import tag can be used to import all the classification functions.
status_message( $code )
The status_message() function will translate status codes to human readable strings.
The string is the same as found in the constant names above. If the $code is not
registered in the list of IANA HTTP Status Codes
<https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes/http-status-codes.xhtml> then
"undef" is returned.
is_info( $code )
Return TRUE if $code is an Informational status code (1xx). This class of status code
indicates a provisional response which can't have any content.
is_success( $code )
Return TRUE if $code is a Successful status code (2xx).
is_redirect( $code )
Return TRUE if $code is a Redirection status code (3xx). This class of status code
indicates that further action needs to be taken by the user agent in order to fulfill
the request.
is_error( $code )
Return TRUE if $code is an Error status code (4xx or 5xx). The function returns TRUE
for both client and server error status codes.
is_client_error( $code )
Return TRUE if $code is a Client Error status code (4xx). This class of status code is
intended for cases in which the client seems to have erred.
This function is not exported by default.
is_server_error( $code )
Return TRUE if $code is a Server Error status code (5xx). This class of status codes
is intended for cases in which the server is aware that it has erred or is incapable
of performing the request.
This function is not exported by default.
is_cacheable_by_default( $code )
Return TRUE if $code indicates that a response is cacheable by default, and it can be
reused by a cache with heuristic expiration. All other status codes are not cacheable
by default. See RFC 7231 - HTTP/1.1 Semantics and Content, Section 6.1. Overview of
Status Codes <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.1>.
This function is not exported by default.

codes.xhtml>
BUGS
For legacy reasons all the "HTTP_" constants are exported by default with the prefix
"RC_". It's recommended to use explicit imports and the ":constants" tag instead of
relying on this.
