A pipe or FH equivalent of LWP::UserAgent ? Peter Billam 02-25-2005

Greetings. Our front-line web server mostly does Apache Rewrites,
but we also have a little cgi script running there which does some
authentication and then uses LWP::UserAgent to

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
....
$req = HTTP::Request->new("GET" =>"$URL");
....
my $res = $ua->request($req);

and then gives the whole result to the browser. The trouble is, it's
now being used on some large pages, which is running our front-line
server out of memory and causes browser-timeouts and user-retries :-(

What I think I need is some way of reading the data from the Request
a few Kb at a time, and feeding it to the browser in real time,
as it comes in :-)

Dear LWP and HTTP folks, what's the way to do this ?

All help gratefully received, Regards, Peter
