=head1 NAME

File::Fetch - A generic file fetching mechanism

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use File::Fetch;

    ### build a File::Fetch object ###
    my $ff = File::Fetch->new(uri => 'http://some.where.com/dir/a.txt');

    ### fetch the uri to cwd() ###
    my $where = $ff->fetch() or die $ff->error;

    ### fetch the uri to /tmp ###
    my $where = $ff->fetch( to => '/tmp' );

    ### parsed bits from the uri ###
    $ff->uri;
    $ff->scheme;
    $ff->host;
    $ff->path;
    $ff->file;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

File::Fetch is a generic file fetching mechanism.

It allows you to fetch any file pointed to by a C<ftp>, C<http>,
C<file>, or C<rsync> uri by a number of different means.

See the C<HOW IT WORKS> section further down for details.

=head1 ACCESSORS

A C<File::Fetch> object has the following accessors

=over 4

=item $ff->uri

The uri you passed to the constructor

=item $ff->scheme

The scheme from the uri (like 'file', 'http', etc)

=item $ff->host

The hostname in the uri, will be empty for a 'file' scheme.

=item $ff->path

The path from the uri, will be at least a single '/'.

=item $ff->file

The name of the remote file. For the local file name, the
result of $ff->output_file will be used.

=item $ff->output_file

The name of the output file. This is the same as $ff->file,
but any query parameters are stripped off. For example:

    http://example.com/index.html?x=y

would make the output file be C<index.html> rather than 
C<index.html?x=y>.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 $ff = File::Fetch->new( uri => 'http://some.where.com/dir/file.txt' );

Parses the uri and creates a corresponding File::Fetch::Item object,
that is ready to be C<fetch>ed and returns it.

Returns false on failure.

=head2 $ff->fetch( [to => /my/output/dir/] )

Fetches the file you requested. By default it writes to C<cwd()>,
but you can override that by specifying the C<to> argument.

Returns the full path to the downloaded file on success, and false
on failure.

=head1 HOW IT WORKS

File::Fetch is able to fetch a variety of uris, by using several
external programs and modules.

Below is a mapping of what utilities will be used in what order
for what schemes, if available:

    file    => LWP, file
    http    => LWP, wget, curl, lynx
    ftp     => LWP, Net::FTP, wget, curl, ncftp, ftp
    rsync   => rsync

If you'd like to disable the use of one or more of these utilities
and/or modules, see the C<$BLACKLIST> variable further down.

If a utility or module isn't available, it will be marked in a cache
(see the C<$METHOD_FAIL> variable further down), so it will not be
tried again. The C<fetch> method will only fail when all options are
exhausted, and it was not able to retrieve the file.

A special note about fetching files from an ftp uri:

By default, all ftp connections are done in passive mode. To change
that, see the C<$FTP_PASSIVE> variable further down.

Furthermore, ftp uris only support anonymous connections, so no
named user/password pair can be passed along.

C</bin/ftp> is blacklisted by default; see the C<$BLACKLIST> variable
further down.

=head1 GLOBAL VARIABLES

The behaviour of File::Fetch can be altered by changing the following
global variables:

=head2 $File::Fetch::FROM_EMAIL

This is the email address that will be sent as your anonymous ftp
password.

Default is C<File-Fetch@example.com>.

=head2 $File::Fetch::USER_AGENT

This is the useragent as C<LWP> will report it.

Default is C<File::Fetch/$VERSION>.

=head2 $File::Fetch::FTP_PASSIVE

This variable controls whether the environment variable C<FTP_PASSIVE>
and any passive switches to commandline tools will be set to true.

Default value is 1.

Note: When $FTP_PASSIVE is true, C<ncftp> will not be used to fetch
files, since passive mode can only be set interactively for this binary

=head2 $File::Fetch::TIMEOUT

When set, controls the network timeout (counted in seconds).

Default value is 0.

=head2 $File::Fetch::WARN

This variable controls whether errors encountered internally by
C<File::Fetch> should be C<carp>'d or not.

Set to false to silence warnings. Inspect the output of the C<error()>
method manually to see what went wrong.

Defaults to C<true>.

=head2 $File::Fetch::DEBUG

This enables debugging output when calling commandline utilities to
fetch files.
This also enables C<Carp::longmess> errors, instead of the regular
C<carp> errors.

Good for tracking down why things don't work with your particular
setup.

Default is 0.

=head2 $File::Fetch::BLACKLIST

This is an array ref holding blacklisted modules/utilities for fetching
files with.

To disallow the use of, for example, C<LWP> and C<Net::FTP>, you could
set $File::Fetch::BLACKLIST to:

    $File::Fetch::BLACKLIST = [qw|lwp netftp|]

The default blacklist is [qw|ftp|], as C</bin/ftp> is rather unreliable.

See the note on C<MAPPING> below.

=head2 $File::Fetch::METHOD_FAIL

This is a hashref registering what modules/utilities were known to fail
for fetching files (mostly because they weren't installed).

You can reset this cache by assigning an empty hashref to it, or
individually remove keys.

See the note on C<MAPPING> below.

=head1 MAPPING


Here's a quick mapping for the utilities/modules, and their names for
the $BLACKLIST, $METHOD_FAIL and other internal functions.

    LWP         => lwp
    Net::FTP    => netftp
    wget        => wget
    lynx        => lynx
    ncftp       => ncftp
    ftp         => ftp
    curl        => curl
    rsync       => rsync

=head1 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

=head2 So how do I use a proxy with File::Fetch?

C<File::Fetch> currently only supports proxies with LWP::UserAgent.
You will need to set your environment variables accordingly. For
example, to use an ftp proxy:

    $ENV{ftp_proxy} = 'foo.com';

Refer to the LWP::UserAgent manpage for more details.

=head2 I used 'lynx' to fetch a file, but its contents is all wrong!

C<lynx> can only fetch remote files by dumping its contents to C<STDOUT>,
which we in turn capture. If that content is a 'custom' error file
(like, say, a C<404 handler>), you will get that contents instead.

Sadly, C<lynx> doesn't support any options to return a different exit
code on non-C<200 OK> status, giving us no way to tell the difference
between a 'successfull' fetch and a custom error page.

Therefor, we recommend to only use C<lynx> as a last resort. This is 
why it is at the back of our list of methods to try as well.

=head2 Files I'm trying to fetch have reserved characters or non-ASCII characters in them. What do I do?

C<File::Fetch> is relatively smart about things. When trying to write 
a file to disk, it removes the C<query parameters> (see the 
C<output_file> method for details) from the file name before creating
it. In most cases this suffices.

If you have any other characters you need to escape, please install 
the C<URI::Escape> module from CPAN, and pre-encode your URI before
passing it to C<File::Fetch>. You can read about the details of URIs 
and URI encoding here:
