Poe::filter::http::parser is a filter for the perl object environment (poe) system based on http::parser. it can be used to easily create poe-based http servers or clients.

with the type set to client, which is the default behaviour, 'get' will parse http::response objects from http streams and 'put' will accept http::request objects and convert them to http streams.

for servers, the reverse will happen; 'get' will parse http::request objects from http streams and 'put' will accept http::response objects and convert them to http streams. if there is an error parsing the request, this filter will generate a http::response object instead, encapsulating an error message suitable for simply sending back to the requesting client.
