[Boston.pm] Lightweight module for web service calls?

2011-02-16 Thread Peter Wood
Hi all, I'm working on a project that involves making web service requests from a Perl application. I've been using LWP to make the requests, which works fine, but I'm wondering if there isn't a more lightweight module I could use. The web service requests need to go over an HTTPS channel, so

Hi Uri, https is just http over an ssl socket with a different port than http. you can use IO::Socket::SSL for that. but the problems you will run into are wide and varied which is why LWP is so large. if you know your http transactions will be very basic and not need help, it is easy to

I'm also with Site5, and have been with them for over two years now. I've been very happy with them. Their support is excellent, and they will install pretty much any software or perl module that you ask for, if you don't want to just install a local copy of it. They also allow cron jobs and all

# Already did statement outside this function. my $picture = $query-upload($file); Perhaps something got cut out here - where did you get the $file variable from? Did you use a CGI::filefield form to get the file name? I'm assuming you have already read this, but just in case,
