Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : liblwpx-paranoidagent-perl * URL : http://search.cpan.org/~bradfitz/LWPx-ParanoidAgent/ * License : same as perl Programming Lang: perl Description : subclass of LWP::UserAgent that protects you from harm This would be a useful module to have, it's designed for cases where the url being accessed was provided by a possibly untrusted third party, and avoids tarpits and avoids hitting local (ie, firewalled) internal urls. An example of use of this package is by Net::OpenId::Consumer, which recommends using it instead of LWP::UserAgent, since the user who's logging in with openid provides an url. (I don't yet plan to package it myself because I'm a) lazy b) feel the perl module team would do a better job than I and c) am planning to make my code try to use it and fall back to LWP::UserAgent.) -- see shy jo
