It subclasses \f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR, so that you have access to all if its methods, but also exports a number of useful functions likely useful for majority of your test requests. Users of the old \f(CW\*(C`Apache::test\*(C'\fR (or \f(CW\*(C`Apache::testold\*(C'\fR) module, take note! Herein lie most of the functions you'll need to use to replace \f(CW\*(C`Apache::test\*(C'\fR in your test suites. .PP Each of the functions exported by \f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestRequest\*(C'\fR uses an \&\f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR object to submit the request and retrieve its results. The return value for many of these functions is an HTTP::Response object. See HTTP::Response for documentation of its methods, which you can use in your tests. For example, use the \f(CW\*(C`code()\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`content()\*(C'\fR methods to test the response code and content of your request. Using \f(CW\*(C`GET\*(C'\fR, you can perform a couple of tests using these methods like this: .PP .Vb 3 \& use Apache::Test qw(ok have_lwp); \& use Apache::TestRequest qw(GET POST); \& use Apache::Constants qw(HTTP_OK); \& \& plan tests => 2, have_lwp; \& \& my $uri = "/test.html?foo=1&bar=2"; \& my $res = GET $uri; \& ok $res\->code == HTTP_OK, "Check that the request was OK"; \& ok $res\->content eq "foo => 1, bar => 2", "Check its content"; .Ve .PP Note that you can also use \f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestRequest\*(C'\fR with \&\f(CW\*(C`Test::Builder\*(C'\fR and its derivatives, including \f(CW\*(C`Test::More\*(C'\fR: .PP .Vb 4 \& use Test::More; \& # ... \& is $res\->code, HTTP_OK, "Check that the request was OK"; \& is $res\->content, "foo => 1, bar => 2", "Check its content"; .Ve .SH "CONFIGURATION FUNCTION" .IX Header "CONFIGURATION FUNCTION" You can tell \f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestRequest\*(C'\fR what kind of \f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR object to use for its convenience functions with \f(CW\*(C`user_agent()\*(C'\fR. This function uses its arguments to construct an internal global \&\f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR object that will be used for all subsequent requests made by the convenience functions. The arguments it takes are the same as for the \f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR constructor. See the \&\f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR documentation for a complete list. .PP The \f(CW\*(C`user_agent()\*(C'\fR function only creates the internal \&\f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR object the first time it is called. Since this function is called internally by \f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestRequest\*(C'\fR, you should always use the \f(CW\*(C`reset\*(C'\fR parameter to force it to create a new global \&\f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR Object: .PP .Vb 1 \& Apache::TestRequest::user_agent(reset => 1, %params); .Ve .PP \&\f(CW\*(C`user_agent()\*(C'\fR differs from \f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\->new\*(C'\fR in two additional ways. First, it supports an additional parameter, \&\f(CW\*(C`keep_alive\*(C'\fR, which enables connection persistence, where the same connection is used to process multiple requests (and, according to the \&\f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR documentation, has the effect of loading and enabling the new experimental \s-1HTTP/1\s0.1 protocol module). .PP And finally, the semantics of the \f(CW\*(C`requests_redirectable\*(C'\fR parameter is different than for \f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR in that you can pass it a boolean value as well as an array for \f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR. To force \&\f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestRequest\*(C'\fR not to follow redirects in any of its convenience functions, pass a false value to \f(CW\*(C`requests_redirectable\*(C'\fR: .PP .Vb 2 \& Apache::TestRequest::user_agent(reset => 1, \& requests_redirectable => 0); .Ve .PP If \s-1LWP\s0 is not installed, then you can still pass in an array reference as \f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR expects. \f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestRequest\*(C'\fR will examine the array and allow redirects if the array contains more than one value or if there is only one value and that value is not \*(L"\s-1POST\s0\*(R": .PP .Vb 4 \& # Always allow redirection. \& my $redir = have_lwp() ? [qw(GET HEAD POST)] : 1; \& Apache::TestRequest::user_agent(reset => 1, \& requests_redirectable => $redir); .Ve .PP But note that redirection will \fBnot\fR work with \f(CW\*(C`POST\*(C'\fR unless \s-1LWP\s0 is installed. It's best, therefore, to check \f(CW\*(C`have_lwp\*(C'\fR before running tests that rely on a redirection from \f(CW\*(C`POST\*(C'\fR. .PP Sometimes it is desireable to have \f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestRequest\*(C'\fR remember cookies sent by the pages you are testing and send them back to the server on subsequent requests. This is especially necessary when testing pages whose functionality relies on sessions or the presence of preferences stored in cookies. .PP By default, \f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR does \fBnot\fR remember cookies between requests. You can tell it to remember cookies between request by adding: .PP .Vb 1 \& Apache::TestRequest::user_agent(cookie_jar => {}); .Ve .PP before issuing the requests. .SH "FUNCTIONS" .IX Header "FUNCTIONS" \&\f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestRequest\*(C'\fR exports a number of functions that will likely prove convenient for use in the majority of your request tests. .SS "Optional Parameters" .IX Subsection "Optional Parameters" Each function also takes a number of optional arguments. .IP "redirect_ok" 4 .IX Item "redirect_ok" By default a request will follow redirects retrieved from the server. To prevent this behavior, pass a false value to a \f(CW\*(C`redirect_ok\*(C'\fR parameter: .Sp .Vb 1 \& my $res = GET $uri, redirect_ok => 0; .Ve .Sp Alternately, if all of your tests need to disable redirects, tell \&\f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestRequest\*(C'\fR to use an \f(CW\*(C`LWP::UserAgent\*(C'\fR object that disables redirects: .Sp .Vb 2 \& Apache::TestRequest::user_agent( reset => 1, \& requests_redirectable => 0 ); .Ve .IP "cert" 4 .IX Item "cert" If you need to force an \s-1SSL\s0 request to use a particular \s-1SSL\s0 certificate, pass the name of the certificate via the \f(CW\*(C`cert\*(C'\fR parameter: .Sp .Vb 1 \& my $res = GET $uri, cert => \*(Aqmy_cert\*(Aq; .Ve .IP "content" 4 .IX Item "content" If you need to add content to your request, use the \f(CW\*(C`content\*(C'\fR parameter: .Sp .Vb 1 \& my $res = GET $uri, content => \*(Aqhello world!\*(Aq; .Ve .IP "filename" 4 .IX Item "filename" The name of a local file on the file system to be sent to the Apache test server via \f(CW\*(C`UPLOAD()\*(C'\fR and its friends. .SS "The Functions" .IX Subsection "The Functions" \fI\s-1GET\s0\fR .IX Subsection "GET" .PP .Vb 1 \& my $res = GET $uri; .Ve .PP Sends a simple \s-1GET\s0 request to the Apache test server. Returns an \&\f(CW\*(C`HTTP::Response\*(C'\fR object. .PP You can also supply additional headers to be sent with the request by adding their name/value pairs after the \f(CW\*(C`url\*(C'\fR parameter, for example: .PP .Vb 1 \& my $res = GET $url, \*(AqAccept\-Language\*(Aq => \*(Aqde,en\-us,en;q=0.5\*(Aq; .Ve .PP \fI\s-1GET_STR\s0\fR .IX Subsection "GET_STR" .PP A shortcut function for \f(CW\*(C`GET($uri)\->as_string\*(C'\fR. .PP \fI\s-1GET_BODY\s0\fR .IX Subsection "GET_BODY" .PP A shortcut function for \f(CW\*(C`GET($uri)\->content\*(C'\fR. .PP \fI\s-1GET_BODY_ASSERT\s0\fR .IX Subsection "GET_BODY_ASSERT" .PP Use this function when your test is outputting content that you need to check, and you want to make sure that the request was successful before comparing the contents of the request.

Use it to set up your tests, create a plan, and to ensure that you have the Apache version and modules you need. .PP Use Apache::TestMM in your \fIMakefile.PL\fR to set up your distribution for testing. .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" Doug MacEachern with contributions from Geoffrey Young, Philippe M.
