description
The
lwp-dump program will get the resource indentified by
the URL and then dump the response object to
STDOUT . This will display the headers
returned and the initial part of the content, escaped so
that it’s safe to display even binary content. The
escapes syntax used is the same as for Perl’s double
quoted strings. If there is no content the string "(no
content)" is shown in its place.
The following
options are recognized:
--agent str
Override the user agent string
passed to the server.
--keep-client-headers
LWP internally
generate various "Client-*" headers
that are stripped by lwp-dump in order to show the
headers exactly as the server provided them. This option
will suppress this.
--max-length
n
How much of the content to
show. The default is 512. Set this to 0 for unlimited.
If the content
is longer then the string is chopped at the limit and the
string "...\n(### more bytes not shown)"
appended.
--method
str
Use the given method for the
request instead of the default " GET
".
--parse-head
By default lwp-dump will
not try to initialize headers by looking at the head section
of HTML documents. This option enables this.
This corresponds to "parse_head" in
LWP::UserAgent.
--request
Also dump the request sent.
