It brings together the HTTP::Request, HTTP::Response and the LWP::Protocol classes that form the rest of the core of libwww-perl library. For simple uses this class can be used directly to dispatch WWW requests, alternatively it can be subclassed for application-specific behaviour. In normal use the application creates a C object, and then configures it with values for timeouts, proxies, name, etc. It then creates an instance of C for the request that needs to be performed. This request is then passed to one of the UserAgent's request() methods, which dispatches it using the relevant protocol, and returns a C object. There are convenience methods for sending the most common request types; get(), head() and post(). The basic approach of the library is to use HTTP style communication for all protocol schemes, i.e. you even receive an C object for gopher or ftp requests. In order to achieve even more similarity to HTTP style communications, gopher menus and file directories are converted to HTML documents. The send_request(), simple_request() and request() methods can process the content of the response in one of three ways: in core, into a file, or into repeated calls to a subroutine. You choose which one by the kind of value passed as the second argument. The in core variant simply stores the content in a scalar 'content' attribute of the response object and is suitable for small HTML replies that might need further parsing. This variant is used if the second argument is missing (or is undef). The filename variant requires a scalar containing a filename as the second argument to the request method and is suitable for large WWW objects which need to be written directly to the file without requiring large amounts of memory. In this case the response object returned from the request method will have an empty content attribute. If the request fails, then the content might not be empty, and the file will be untouched. The subroutine variant requires a reference to callback routine as the second argument to the request method and it can also take an optional chuck size as the third argument. This variant can be used to construct "pipe-lined" processing, where processing of received chuncks can begin before the complete data has arrived. The callback function is called with 3 arguments: the data received this time, a reference to the response object and a reference to the protocol object. The response object returned from the request method will have empty content. If the request fails, then the the callback routine is not called, and the response->content might not be empty. The request can be aborted by calling die() in the callback routine. The die message will be available as the "X-Died" special response header field. The library also allows you to use a subroutine reference as content in the request object. This subroutine should return the content (possibly in pieces) when called. It should return an empty string when there is no more content. =head1 METHODS The following methods are available: =over 4 =cut use vars qw(@ISA $VERSION); require LWP::MemberMixin; @ISA = qw(LWP::MemberMixin); $VERSION = sprintf("%d.%03d", q$Revision: 2.1 $ =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/); use HTTP::Request (); use HTTP::Response (); use HTTP::Date (); use LWP (); use LWP::Debug (); use LWP::Protocol (); use Carp (); if ($ENV{PERL_LWP_USE_HTTP_10}) { require LWP::Protocol::http10; LWP::Protocol::implementor('http', 'LWP::Protocol::http10'); eval { require LWP::Protocol::https10; LWP::Protocol::implementor('https', 'LWP::Protocol::https10'); }; } =item $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new( %options ); This class method constructs a new C object and returns a reference to it. Key/value pair arguments may be provided to set up the initial state of the user agent. The following options correspond to attribute methods described below: KEY DEFAULT ----------- -------------------- agent "libwww-perl/#.##" from undef timeout 180 use_eval 1 parse_head 1 max_size undef cookie_jar undef conn_cache undef protocols_allowed undef protocols_forbidden undef requests_redirectable ['GET', 'HEAD'] The followings option are also accepted: If the C option is passed in an has a TRUE value, then proxy settings are read from environment variables. If the C option is passed in, then a C is set up (see conn_cache() method below). The keep_alive value is a number and is passed on as the total_capacity for the connection cache. The C option also has the effect of loading and enabling the new experimental HTTP/1.1 protocol module. =cut sub new { my($class, %cnf) = @_; LWP::Debug::trace('()'); my $agent = delete $cnf{agent}; $agent = $class->_agent unless defined $agent; my $from = delete $cnf{from}; my $timeout = delete $cnf{timeout}; $timeout = 3*60 unless defined $timeout; my $use_eval = delete $cnf{use_eval}; $use_eval = 1 unless defined $use_eval; my $parse_head = delete $cnf{parse_head}; $parse_head = 1 unless defined $parse_head; my $max_size = delete $cnf{max_size}; my $env_proxy = delete $cnf{env_proxy}; my $cookie_jar = delete $cnf{cookie_jar}; my $conn_cache = delete $cnf{conn_cache}; my $keep_alive = delete $cnf{keep_alive}; Carp::croak("Can't mix conn_cache and keep_alive") if $conn_cache && $keep_alive; my $protocols_allowed = delete $cnf{protocols_allowed}; my $protocols_forbidden = delete $cnf{protocols_forbidden}; my $requests_redirectable = delete $cnf{requests_redirectable}; $requests_redirectable = ['GET', 'HEAD'] unless defined $requests_redirectable; # Actually ""s are just as good as 0's, but for concision we'll just say: Carp::croak("protocols_allowed has to be an arrayref or 0, not \"$protocols_allowed\"!") if $protocols_allowed and ref($protocols_allowed) ne 'ARRAY'; Carp::croak("protocols_forbidden has to be an arrayref or 0, not \"$protocols_forbidden\"!") if $protocols_forbidden and ref($protocols_forbidden) ne 'ARRAY'; Carp::croak("requests_redirectable has to be an arrayref or 0, not \"$requests_redirectable\"!") if $requests_redirectable and ref($requests_redirectable) ne 'ARRAY'; if (%cnf && $^W) { Carp::carp("Unrecognized LWP::UserAgent options: @{[sort keys %cnf]}"); } my $self = bless { from => $from, timeout => $timeout, use_eval => $use_eval, parse_head => $parse_head, max_size => $max_size, proxy => undef, no_proxy => [], protocols_allowed => $protocols_allowed, protocols_forbidden => $protocols_forbidden, requests_redirectable => $requests_redirectable, }, $class; $self->agent($agent) if $agent; $self->cookie_jar($cookie_jar) if $cookie_jar; $self->env_proxy if $env_proxy; $self->protocols_allowed( $protocols_allowed ) if $protocols_allowed; $self->protocols_forbidden($protocols_forbidden) if $protocols_forbidden; if ($keep_alive) { $conn_cache ||= { total_capacity => $keep_alive }; } $self->conn_cache($conn_cache) if $conn_cache; return $self; } # private method. check sanity of given $request sub _request_sanity_check { my($self, $request) = @_; # some sanity checking if (defined $request) { if (ref $request) { Carp::croak("You need a request object, not a " . ref($request) .

(The C might be a string (like 'http' or 'ftp') or it might be an URI object reference.) Whether a scheme is supported, is determined by $ua's protocols_allowed or protocols_forbidden lists (if any), and by the capabilities of LWP.

This should return a true value if this redirection is permissible. The default implementation will return FALSE unless the method is in the object's C list, FALSE if the proposed redirection is to a "file://..." URL, and TRUE otherwise. Subclasses might want to override this. (This method's behavior in previous versions was simply to return TRUE for anything except POST requests). =cut sub redirect_ok { # RFC 2068, section 10.3.2 and 10.3.3 say: # If the 30[12] status code is received in response to a request other # than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the # request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might # change the conditions under which the request was issued. # Note that this routine used to be just: # return 0 if $_[1]->method eq "POST"; return 1; my($self, $request) = @_; my $method = $request->method; return 0 unless grep $_ eq $method, @{ $self->requests_redirectable || [] }; if($request->url->scheme eq 'file') { LWP::Debug::trace("Can't redirect to a file:// URL!"); return 0; } # Otherwise it's apparently okay... return 1; } =item $ua->credentials($netloc, $realm, $uname, $pass) Set the user name and password to be used for a realm. It is often more useful to specialize the get_basic_credentials() method instead. =cut sub credentials { my($self, $netloc, $realm, $uid, $pass) = @_; @{ $self->{'basic_authentication'}{$netloc}{$realm} } = ($uid, $pass); } =item $ua->get_basic_credentials($realm, $uri, [$proxy]) This is called by request() to retrieve credentials for a Realm protected by Basic Authentication or Digest Authentication. Should return username and password in a list. Return undef to abort the authentication resolution atempts. This implementation simply checks a set of pre-stored member variables. Subclasses can override this method to e.g. ask the user for a username/password. An example of this can be found in C program distributed with this library. =cut sub get_basic_credentials { my($self, $realm, $uri, $proxy) = @_; return if $proxy; my $host_port = $uri->host_port; if (exists $self->{'basic_authentication'}{$host_port}{$realm}) { return @{ $self->{'basic_authentication'}{$host_port}{$realm} }; } return (undef, undef); } =item $ua->agent([$product_id]) Get/set the product token that is used to identify the user agent on the network. The agent value is sent as the "User-Agent" header in the requests. The default is the string returned by the _agent() method (see below). If the $product_id ends with space then the C<_agent> string is appended to it. The user agent string should be one or more simple product identifiers with an optional version number separated by the "/" character. Examples are: $ua->agent('Checkbot/0.4 ' . $ua->_agent); $ua->agent('Checkbot/0.4 '); # same as above $ua->agent('Mozilla/5.0'); $ua->agent(""); # don't identify =item $ua->_agent Returns the default agent identifier.

The address should be machine-usable, as defined in RFC 822. The from value is send as the "From" header in the requests. Example: $ua->from('gaas@cpan.org'); The default is to not send a "From" header. =item $ua->timeout([$secs]) Get/set the timeout value in seconds. The default timeout() value is 180 seconds, i.e. 3 minutes. =item $ua->cookie_jar([$cookie_jar_obj]) Get/set the cookie jar object to use. The only requirement is that the cookie jar object must implement the extract_cookies($request) and add_cookie_header($response) methods. These methods will then be invoked by the user agent as requests are sent and responses are received. Normally this will be a C object or some subclass. The default is to have no cookie_jar, i.e. never automatically add "Cookie" headers to the requests. Shortcut: If a reference to a plain hash is passed in as the $cookie_jar_object, then it is replaced with an instance of C that is initalized based on the hash. This form also automatically loads the C module. It means that: $ua->cookie_jar({ file => "$ENV{HOME}/.cookies.txt" }); is really just a shortcut for: require HTTP::Cookies; $ua->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file => "$ENV{HOME}/.cookies.txt")); =item $ua->conn_cache([$cache_obj]) Get/set the I object to use. =item $ua->parse_head([$boolean]) Get/set a value indicating wether we should initialize response headers from the Ehead> section of HTML documents. The default is TRUE. Do not turn this off, unless you know what you are doing. =item $ua->max_size([$bytes]) Get/set the size limit for response content. The default is C, which means that there is no limit. If the returned response content is only partial, because the size limit was exceeded, then a "Client-Aborted" header will be added to the response. =cut sub timeout { shift->_elem('timeout', @_); } sub from { shift->_elem('from', @_); } sub parse_head { shift->_elem('parse_head',@_); } sub max_size { shift->_elem('max_size', @_); } sub cookie_jar { my $self = shift; my $old = $self->{cookie_jar}; if (@_) { my $jar = shift; if (ref($jar) eq "HASH") { require HTTP::Cookies; $jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(%$jar); } $self->{cookie_jar} = $jar; } $old; } sub conn_cache { my $self = shift; my $old = $self->{conn_cache}; if (@_) { my $cache = shift; if (ref($cache) eq "HASH") { require LWP::ConnCache; $cache = LWP::ConnCache->new(%$cache); } $self->{conn_cache} = $cache; } $old; } # depreciated sub use_eval { shift->_elem('use_eval', @_); } sub use_alarm { Carp::carp("LWP::UserAgent->use_alarm(BOOL) is a no-op") if @_ > 1 && $^W; ""; } =item $ua->clone; Returns a copy of the LWP::UserAgent object =cut sub clone { my $self = shift; my $copy = bless { %$self }, ref $self; # copy most fields # elements that are references must be handled in a special way $copy->{'proxy'} = { %{$self->{'proxy'}} }; $copy->{'no_proxy'} = [ @{$self->{'no_proxy'}} ]; # copy array # remove reference to objects for now delete $copy->{cookie_jar}; delete $copy->{conn_cache}; $copy; } =item $ua->mirror($url, $file) Get and store a document identified by a URL, using If-Modified-Since, and checking of the Content-Length.

Set/retrieve proxy URL for a scheme: $ua->proxy(['http', 'ftp'], 'http://proxy.sn.no:8001/'); $ua->proxy('gopher', 'http://proxy.sn.no:8001/'); The first form specifies that the URL is to be used for proxying of access methods listed in the list in the first method argument, i.e. 'http' and 'ftp'.

On systems with case-insensitive environment variables there exists a name clash between the CGI environment variables and the C environment variable normally picked up by env_proxy(). Because of this C is not honored for CGI scripts. The C environment variable can be used instead. =cut sub env_proxy { my ($self) = @_; my($k,$v); while(($k, $v) = each %ENV) { if ($ENV{REQUEST_METHOD}) { # Need to be careful when called in the CGI environment, as # the HTTP_PROXY variable is under control of that other guy. next if $k =~ /^HTTP_/; $k = "HTTP_PROXY" if $k eq "CGI_HTTP_PROXY"; } $k = lc($k); next unless $k =~ /^(.*)_proxy$/; $k = $1; if ($k eq 'no') { $self->no_proxy(split(/\s*,\s*/, $v)); } else { $self->proxy($k, $v); } } } =item $ua->no_proxy($domain,...) Do not proxy requests to the given domains. Calling no_proxy without any domains clears the list of domains. Eg: $ua->no_proxy('localhost', 'no', ...); =cut sub no_proxy { my($self, @no) = @_; if (@no) { push(@{ $self->{'no_proxy'} }, @no); } else { $self->{'no_proxy'} = []; } } # Private method which returns the URL of the Proxy configured for this # URL, or undefined if none is configured. sub _need_proxy { my($self, $url) = @_; $url = $HTTP::URI_CLASS->new($url) unless ref $url; my $scheme = $url->scheme || return; if (my $proxy = $self->{'proxy'}{$scheme}) { if (@{ $self->{'no_proxy'} }) { if (my $host = eval { $url->host }) { for my $domain (@{ $self->{'no_proxy'} }) { if ($host =~ /\Q$domain\E$/) { LWP::Debug::trace("no_proxy configured"); return; } } } } LWP::Debug::debug("Proxied to $proxy"); return $HTTP::URI_CLASS->new($proxy); } LWP::Debug::debug('Not proxied'); undef; } sub _new_response { my($request, $code, $message) = @_; my $response = HTTP::Response->new($code, $message); $response->request($request); $response->header("Client-Date" => HTTP::Date::time2str(time)); return $response; } 1; =back =head1 SEE ALSO See L for a complete overview of libwww-perl5.
