=head1 NAME
LWP::UserAgent - A WWW UserAgent class
=head1 SYNOPSIS
require LWP::UserAgent;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(env_proxy => 1,
keep_alive => 1,
timeout => 30,
);
$response = $ua->get('http://search.cpan.org/');
# or:
$request = HTTP::Request->new('GET', 'http://search.cpan.org/');
# and then one of these:
$response = $ua->request($request); # or
$response = $ua->request($request, '/tmp/sss'); # or
$response = $ua->request($request, \&callback, 4096);
sub callback { my($data, $response, $protocol) = @_; .... }
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<LWP::UserAgent> is a class implementing a World-Wide Web
user agent in Perl. 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<LWP::UserAgent> object, and then
configures it with values for timeouts, proxies, name, etc. It then
creates an instance of C<HTTP::Request> 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<HTTP::Response> 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<HTTP::Response>
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.

=item $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new( %options );
This class method constructs a new C<LWP::UserAgent> 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<env_proxy> option is
passed in an has a TRUE value, then proxy settings are read from
environment variables. If the C<keep_alive> option is passed in, then
a C<LWP::ConnCache> 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<keep_alive> option also has the
effect of loading and enabling the new experimental HTTP/1.1 protocol
module.

This method dispatches a single WWW request on behalf of a user, and
returns the response received. The request is sent off unmodified,
without passing it through C<prepare_request()>.
The C<$request> should be a reference to a C<HTTP::Request> object
with values defined for at least the method() and uri() attributes.
If C<$arg> is a scalar it is taken as a filename where the content of
the response is stored.
If C<$arg> is a reference to a subroutine, then this routine is called
as chunks of the content is received. An optional C<$size> argument
is taken as a hint for an appropriate chunk size.
If C<$arg> is omitted, then the content is stored in the response
object itself.

This reads (or sets) this user-agent's list of procotols that
C<$ua-E<gt>request> and C<$ua-E<gt>simple_request> will exclusively
allow.
For example: C<$ua-E<gt>protocols_allowed( [ 'http', 'https'] );>
means that this user agent will I<allow only> those protocols,
and attempts to use this user-agent to access URLs with any other
schemes (like "ftp://...") will result in a 500 error.
To delete the list, call:
C<$ua-E<gt>protocols_allowed(undef)>
By default, an object has neither a protocols_allowed list, nor
a protocols_forbidden list.
Note that having a protocols_allowed
list causes any protocols_forbidden list to be ignored.

This reads (or sets) this user-agent's list of procotols that

For example: C<$ua-E<gt>protocols_forbidden( [ 'file', 'mailto'] );>
means that this user-agent will I<not> allow those protocols, and

will result in a 500 error.
To delete the list, call:

You can use this method to test whether this user-agent object supports the
specified C<scheme>. (The C<scheme> 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. I.e., this will return TRUE only if LWP supports this protocol
I<and> it's permitted for this particular object.

=item $ua->redirect_ok($prospective_request)
This method is called by request() before it tries to follow a
redirection to the request in $prospective_request. 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<requests_redirectable> 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).

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<lwp-request> program distributed with this library.

}
=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

"libwww-perl/#.##", where "#.##" is substitued with the version numer
of this library.

=item $ua->from([$email_address])
Get/set the Internet e-mail address for the human user who controls
the requesting user agent. 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<HTTP::Cookies> 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<HTTP::Cookies> that is initalized based on the hash. This form also
automatically loads the C<HTTP::Cookies> 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<LWP::ConnCache> object to use.
=item $ua->parse_head([$boolean])
Get/set a value indicating wether we should initialize response
headers from the E<lt>head> 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<undef>,
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.
