LWP-Protocol-AnyEvent-http

LWP performs a number of blocking calls when trying to process requests. This makes it unfriendly to event-driven systems and cooperative multitasking system such as Coro.

This module makes LWP more friendly to these systems by plugging in an HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS protocol implementor powered by AnyEvent and AnyEvent::HTTP.

In short, it allows AnyEvent callbacks and Coro threads to execute when LWP is blocked. (Please let me know at ikegami@adaelis.com what other system this helps so I can add tests and add a mention.)

All LWP features and configuration options should still be available when using this module.
