Description
Libwhisker is a Perl library useful for HTTP testing scripts. It contains a pure-Perl implementation of functionality found in the LWP, URI, Digest::MD5, Digest::MD4, Data::Dumper, Authen::NTLM, HTML::Parser, HTML::FormParser, CGI::Upload, MIME::Base64, and GetOpt::Std modules. Libwhisker is designed to be portable (a single perl file), fast (general benchmarks show libwhisker is faster than LWP), and flexible (great care was taken to ensure the library does exactly what you want to do, even if it means breaking the protocol).
Compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
