General Internet Methods
The methods described in this section are used on Internet
connection objects created with new:
$inet = Win32::Internet->new( );
You can supply new with an
optional list of arguments (or a reference to a hash containing
them) that looks like this:
Win32::Internet->new [useragent,opentype,proxy,proxybypass,flags] Win32::Internet->new [$hashref]
The parameters and their values are:
useragentThe user agent string passed to HTTP requests. Default is
Perl-Win32Internet/version.opentypeHow to access the Internet (e.g., directly or using a proxy). Default is
INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT.proxyName of the proxy server (or servers) to use. Default is none.
proxybypassOptional list of hostnames or IP addresses that are known locally. Default is none.
flagsAdditional flags affecting the behavior of the function. Default is none.
If you pass a hash reference to the function, the following values are taken from the hash:
%hash=( "useragent" => "useragent", "opentype" => "opentype", "proxy" => "proxy", "proxybypass" => "proxybypass", "flags" => flags, );
The following methods can be used on Internet connection objects.
