# # $Id: Response.pm,v 1.36 2001/11/15 06:42:40 gisle Exp $ package HTTP::Response; =head1 NAME HTTP::Response - Class encapsulating HTTP Responses =head1 SYNOPSIS require HTTP::Response; =head1 DESCRIPTION The C class encapsulates HTTP style responses. A response consists of a response line, some headers, and (potentially empty) content. Note that the LWP library also uses HTTP style responses for non-HTTP protocol schemes. Instances of this class are usually created and returned by the C method of an C object: #... $response = $ua->request($request) if ($response->is_success) { print $response->content; } else { print $response->error_as_HTML; } C is a subclass of C and therefore inherits its methods. The inherited methods most often used are header(), push_header(), remove_header(), and content(). The header convenience methods are also available. See L for details. The following additional methods are available: =over 4 =cut require HTTP::Message; @ISA = qw(HTTP::Message); $VERSION = sprintf("%d.%02d", q$Revision: 1.36 $ =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/); use HTTP::Status (); use strict; =item $r = HTTP::Response->new($rc, [$msg, [$header, [$content]]]) Constructs a new C object describing a response with response code C<$rc> and optional message C<$msg>. The message is a short human readable single line string that explains the response code. =cut sub new { my($class, $rc, $msg, $header, $content) = @_; my $self = $class->SUPER::new($header, $content); $self->code($rc); $self->message($msg); $self; } sub clone { my $self = shift; my $clone = bless $self->SUPER::clone, ref($self); $clone->code($self->code); $clone->message($self->message); $clone->request($self->request->clone) if $self->request; # we don't clone previous $clone; } =item $r->code([$code]) =item $r->message([$message]) =item $r->request([$request]) =item $r->previous([$previousResponse]) These methods provide public access to the object attributes. The first two contain respectively the response code and the message of the response. The request attribute is a reference the request that caused this response. It does not have to be the same request as passed to the $ua->request() method, because there might have been redirects and authorization retries in between. The previous attribute is used to link together chains of responses. You get chains of responses if the first response is redirect or unauthorized. =cut sub code { shift->_elem('_rc', @_); } sub message { shift->_elem('_msg', @_); } sub previous { shift->_elem('_previous',@_); } sub request { shift->_elem('_request', @_); } =item $r->status_line Returns the string "Ecode> Emessage>". If the message attribute is not set then the official name of Ecode> (see L) is substituted. =cut sub status_line { my $self = shift; my $code = $self->{'_rc'} || "000"; my $mess = $self->{'_msg'} || HTTP::Status::status_message($code) || "?"; return "$code $mess"; } =item $r->base Returns the base URI for this response. The return value will be a reference to a URI object. The base URI is obtained from one the following sources (in priority order): =over 4 =item 1. Embedded in the document content, for instance in HTML documents. =item 2. A "Content-Base:" or a "Content-Location:" header in the response. For backwards compatability with older HTTP implementations we will also look for the "Base:" header. =item 3. The URI used to request this response. This might not be the original URI that was passed to $ua->request() method, because we might have received some redirect responses first. =back When the LWP protocol modules produce the HTTP::Response object, then any base URI embedded in the document (step 1) will already have initialized the "Content-Base:" header. This means that this method only performs the last 2 steps (the content is not always available either). =cut sub base { my $self = shift; my $base = $self->header('Content-Base') || # used to be HTTP/1.1 $self->header('Content-Location') || # HTTP/1.1 $self->header('Base'); # HTTP/1.0 return $HTTP::URI_CLASS->new_abs($base, $self->request->uri); # So yes, if $base is undef, the return value is effectively # just a copy of $self->request->uri. } =item $r->as_string Returns a textual representation of the response. Mainly useful for debugging purposes. It takes no arguments. =cut sub as_string { require HTTP::Status; my $self = shift; my @result; #push(@result, "---- $self ----"); my $code = $self->code; my $status_message = HTTP::Status::status_message($code) || "Unknown code"; my $message = $self->message || ""; my $status_line = "$code"; my $proto = $self->protocol; $status_line = "$proto $status_line" if $proto; $status_line .= " ($status_message)" if $status_message ne $message; $status_line .= " $message"; push(@result, $status_line); push(@result, $self->headers_as_string); my $content = $self->content; if (defined $content) { push(@result, $content); } #push(@result, ("-" x 40)); join("\n", @result, ""); } =item $r->is_info =item $r->is_success =item $r->is_redirect =item $r->is_error These methods indicate if the response was informational, sucessful, a redirection, or an error. =cut sub is_info { HTTP::Status::is_info (shift->{'_rc'}); } sub is_success { HTTP::Status::is_success (shift->{'_rc'}); } sub is_redirect { HTTP::Status::is_redirect (shift->{'_rc'}); } sub is_error { HTTP::Status::is_error (shift->{'_rc'}); } =item $r->error_as_HTML() Returns a string containing a complete HTML document indicating what error occurred. This method should only be called when $r->is_error is TRUE. =cut sub error_as_HTML { my $self = shift; my $title = 'An Error Occurred'; my $body = $self->status_line; return < $title

$title

$body EOM } =item $r->current_age Calculates the "current age" of the response as specified by Edraft-ietf-http-v11-spec-07> section 13.2.3. The age of a response is the time since it was sent by the origin server. The returned value is a number representing the age in seconds. =cut sub current_age { my $self = shift; # Implementation of section 13.2.3 # (age calculations) my $response_time = $self->client_date; my $date = $self->date; my $age = 0; if ($response_time && $date) { $age = $response_time - $date; # apparent_age $age = 0 if $age < 0; } my $age_v = $self->header('Age'); if ($age_v && $age_v > $age) { $age = $age_v; # corrected_received_age } my $request = $self->request; if ($request) { my $request_time = $request->date; if ($request_time) { # Add response_delay to age to get 'corrected_initial_age' $age += $response_time - $request_time; } } if ($response_time) { $age += time - $response_time; } return $age; } =item $r->freshness_lifetime Calculates the "freshness lifetime" of the response as specified by Edraft-ietf-http-v11-spec-07> section 13.2.4. The "freshness lifetime" is the length of time between the generation of a response and its expiration time. The returned value is a number representing the freshness lifetime in seconds. If the response does not contain an "Expires" or a "Cache-Control" header, then this function will apply some simple heuristic based on 'Last-Modified' to determine a suitable lifetime. =cut sub freshness_lifetime { my $self = shift; # First look for the Cache-Control: max-age=n header my @cc = $self->header('Cache-Control'); if (@cc) { my $cc; for $cc (@cc) { my $cc_dir; for $cc_dir (split(/\s*,\s*/, $cc)) { if ($cc_dir =~ /max-age\s*=\s*(\d+)/i) { return $1; } } } } # Next possibility is to look at the "Expires" header my $date = $self->date || $self->client_date || time; my $expires = $self->expires; unless ($expires) { # Must apply heuristic expiration my $last_modified = $self->last_modified; if ($last_modified) { my $h_exp = ($date - $last_modified) * 0.10; # 10% since last-mod if ($h_exp < 60) { return 60; # minimum } elsif ($h_exp > 24 * 3600) { # Should give a warning if more than 24 hours according to # section 13.2.4, but I don't # know how to do it from this function interface, so I just # make this the maximum value. return 24 * 3600; } return $h_exp; } else { return 3600; # 1 hour is fallback when all else fails } } return $expires - $date; } =item $r->is_fresh Returns TRUE if the response is fresh, based on the values of freshness_lifetime() and current_age(). If the response is no longer fresh, then it has to be refetched or revalidated by the origin server. =cut sub is_fresh { my $self = shift; $self->freshness_lifetime > $self->current_age; } =item $r->fresh_until Returns the time when this entiy is no longer fresh. =cut sub fresh_until { my $self = shift; return $self->freshness_lifetime - $self->current_age + time; } 1; =back =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 1995-2001 Gisle Aas.
