httpfs depends on FUSE. It uses HTTP/1.1 extensions to read arbitrary bytes from a file on a web-server. This is particular interesting for an iso, since it can be investigated (loop device) without actually downloading the whole iso.

HTTP::Lite is a stand-alone lightweight HTTP/1.1 implementation for perl. It is not intended as a replacement for the fully-features LWP module. Instead, it is intended for use in situations where it is desirable to install the minimal number of modules to achieve HTTP support, or where LWP is not a good candidate due to CPU overhead, such as slower processors. HTTP::Lite is also significantly faster than LWP. HTTP::Lite is ideal for CGI (or mod_perl) programs or for bundling for redistribution with larger packages where only HTTP GET and POST functionality are necessary. If you require more functionality, such as FTP or HTTPS, please see libwwwperl (LWP). LWP is a significantly better and more comprehensive package than HTTP::Lite, and should be used instead of HTTP::Lite whenever possible.

thttpd is a simple, small, portable, fast, and secure HTTP server. - Simple: It handles only the minimum necessary to implement HTTP/1.1. - Small: It also has a very small run-time size, since it does not fork and is very careful about memory allocation. - Portable: It compiles cleanly on SunOS 4.1.x, Solaris 2.x, BSD/OS 2.x, Linux 1.2.x, and OSF/1 (on a 64-bit Alpha). - Fast: In typical use it's about as fast as the best full-featured servers (Apache, NCSA, Netscape). Under extreme load it's much faster. - Secure: It goes to great lengths to protect the web server machine against attacks and breakins from other sites. It also has one extremely useful feature (URL-traffic-based throttling) that no other server currently has.

HTTP::MHTTP - this library provides reasonably low level access to the HTTP protocol, for perl. This does not replace LWP (what possibly could :-) but is a cut for speed. It also supports all of HTTP 1.0, so you have GET, POST, PUT, HEAD, and DELETE. Some support of HTTP 1.1 is available - specifically Transfer-Encoding = chunked and the Keep-Alive extensions. Additionally - rudimentary SSL support compiled in. This effectively enables negotiation of TLS, but does not validate the certificates. A way faster http access library that uses C extension based on mhttp to do the calls.

Courier is a modular multiprotocol mail server that's designed to strike a balance between reasonable performance, flexibility and features: * Can be configured to function as an intermediate mail relay, or as a mail server that receives mail for one or more domains, or anything in between. * Web-based administration and configuration tool. * Uses an efficient maildir format as its native mail storage format. Some support is provided for legacy mbox mailboxes. * STARTTLS ESMTP extension (as well as IMAP/POP3/Webmail over SSL) in both the client and the server (requires OpenSSL). The ESMTP client can optionally require that the remote server's X.509 certificate is signed by a trusted root CA (a default set of root CAs is provided). * Mailboxes can be accessed via POP3, IMAP, SMAP, and HTTP. * A faxmail gateway that forwards E-mail messages via fax. * Courier includes a mailing list manager. * PAM, LDAP, PostgreSQL, or MySQL authentication. * Authenticated SMTP. * Integrated mail filtering.

HTTP::Negotiate provides a complete implementation of the HTTP content negotiation algorithm. Content negotiation allows for the selection of a preferred content representation based upon attributes of the negotiable variants and the value of the various Accept* header fields in the request.

This is a port of The Internet Junkbuster Proxy(TM). An excelent way to enhance your privacy while browsing the web. And it also happens to do a great job of filtering out all those annoying banner ads! This modified version allows one to specify appearance of blocked GIFs. It can automatically compress text/html and text/plain documents for clients which support Accept-Encoding: gzip (e.g. Netscape 4.7, Internet Explorer 5, Lynx 2.8.3) to save downstream modem/network bandwidth. It uses the zlib compression library to perform on-the-fly compression of HTML documents. Please note that this software does not support IPv6. See www/privoxy for a worth followup of this software.

Provides an interface to easily send hidden files or any arbitrary data to HTTP clients. HTTP_Download can gain its data from variables, files or stream resources. It features: - Basic caching capabilities - Basic throttling mechanism - On-the-fly gzip-compression - Ranges (partial downloads and resuming) - Delivery of on-the-fly generated archives through Archive_Tar and Archive_Zip - Sending of PgSQL LOBs without the need to read all data in prior to sending

Every HTTP::Exception is a Exception::Class - Class. So the same mechanisms apply as with Exception::Class-classes. In fact have a look at Exception::Class' docs for more general information on exceptions and Exception::Class::Base for information on what methods a caught exception also has. HTTP::Exception is only a factory for HTTP::Exception::XXX (where X is a number) subclasses. That means that HTTP::Exception->new(404) returns a HTTP::Exception::404 object, which in turn is a HTTP::Exception::Base - Object.

HTTP::Cookie is a Ruby library to handle HTTP Cookies based on RFC 6265. It has with security, standards compliance and compatibility in mind, to behave just the same as today's major web browsers. It has builtin support for the legacy cookies.txt and the latest cookies.sqlite formats of Mozilla Firefox, and its modular API makes it easy to add support for a new backend store.
