# Net::HTTP::NB - phpMan

## NAME
    [Net::HTTP::NB] - Non-blocking HTTP client

## VERSION
    version 6.22

## SYNOPSIS
     use [Net::HTTP::NB];
     my $s = [Net::HTTP::NB]->new(Host => "www.perl.com") || die $@;
     $s->write_request(GET => "/");

     use [IO::Select];
     my $sel = [IO::Select]->new($s);

     READ_HEADER: {
        die "Header timeout" unless $sel->[can_read(10)];
        my($code, $mess, %h) = $s->read_response_headers;
        redo READ_HEADER unless $code;
     }

     while (1) {
        die "Body timeout" unless $sel->[can_read(10)];
        my $buf;
        my $n = $s->read_entity_body($buf, 1024);
        last unless $n;
        print $buf;
     }

## DESCRIPTION
    Same interface as "[Net::HTTP]" but it will never try multiple reads when
    the read_response_headers() or read_entity_body() methods are invoked.
    This make it possible to multiplex multiple [Net::HTTP::NB] using select
    without risk blocking.

    If read_response_headers() did not see enough data to complete the
    headers an empty list is returned.

    If read_entity_body() did not see new entity data in its read the value
    -1 is returned.
