package AnyEvent::HTTPD::Request; use common::sense; =head1 NAME AnyEvent::HTTPD::Request - A web application request handle for L =head1 DESCRIPTION This is the request object as generated by L and given in the request callbacks. =head1 METHODS =over 4 =cut sub new { my $this = shift; my $class = ref($this) || $this; my $self = { @_ }; bless $self, $class } =item B This method returns the URL of the current request. =cut sub url { my ($self) = @_; my $url = $self->{url}; my $u = URI->new ($url); $u->query (undef); $u } =item B C<$res> can be: =over 4 =item * an array reference Then the array reference has these elements: my ($code, $message, $header_hash, $content) = [200, 'ok', { 'Content-Type' => 'text/html' }, '

' }] =item * a hash reference If it was a hash reference the hash is first searched for the C key and if that key does not exist for the C key. The value for the C key should contain the URL that you want to redirect the request to. The value for the C key should contain an array reference with the first value being the content type and the second the content. =back Here is an example: $httpd->reg_cb ( '/image/elmex' => sub { my ($httpd, $req) = @_; open IMG, "$ENV{HOME}/media/images/elmex.png" or $req->respond ( [404, 'not found', { 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain' }, 'not found'] ); $req->respond ({ content => ['image/png', do { local $/; }] }); } ); B For longer responses you can give a callback instead of a string to the response function for the value of the C<$content>. $req->response ({ content => ['video/x-ms-asf', sub { my ($data_cb) = @_; # start some async retrieve operation, for example use # IO::AIO (with AnyEvent::AIO). Or retrieve chunks of data # to send somehow else. } }); The given callback will receive as first argument either another callback (C<$data_cb> in the above example) or an undefined value, which means that there is no more data required and the transfer has been completed (either by you sending no more data, or by a disconnect of the client). The callback given to C will be called whenever the send queue of the HTTP connection becomes empty (meaning that the data is written out to the kernel). If it is called you have to start delivering the next chunk of data. That doesn't have to be immediately, before the callback returns. This means that you can initiate for instance an L request (see also L) and send the data later. That is what the C<$data_cb> callback is for. You have to call it once you got the next chunk of data. Once you sent a chunk of data via C<$data_cb> you can just wait until your callback is called again to deliver the next chunk. If you are done transferring all data call the C<$data_cb> with an empty string or with no argument at all. Please consult the example script C from the C directory of the L distribution for an example of how to use this mechanism. B You should supply a 'Content-Length' header if you are going to send a larger file. If you don't do that the client will have no chance to know if the transfer was complete. To supply additional header fields the hash argument format will not work. You should use the array argument format for this case. =cut sub respond { my ($self, $res) = @_; return unless $self->{resp}; my $rescb = delete $self->{resp}; if (ref $res eq 'HASH') { my $h = $res; if ($h->{redirect}) { $res = [ 301, 'redirected', { Location => $h->{redirect} }, "Redirected to {redirect}\">here" ]; } elsif ($h->{content}) { $res = [ 200, 'ok', { 'Content-Type' => $h->{content}->[0] }, $h->{content}->[1] ]; } } $self->{responded} = 1; if (not defined $res) { $rescb->(404, "ok", { 'Content-Type' => 'text/html' }, "

"); } else { $rescb->(@$res); } } =item B Returns true if this request already has been responded to. =cut sub responded { $_[0]->{responded} } =item B Returns the first value of the form parameter C<$key> or undef. =cut sub parm { my ($self, $key) = @_; if (exists $self->{parm}->{$key}) { return $self->{parm}->{$key}->[0]->[0] } return undef; } =item B Returns list of parameter names. =cut sub params { keys %{$_[0]->{parm} || {}} } =item B Returns a hash of form parameters. The value is either the value of the parameter, and in case there are multiple values present it will contain an array reference of values. =cut sub vars { my ($self) = @_; my $p = $self->{parm}; my %v = map { my $k = $_; $k => @{$p->{$k}} > 1 ? [ map { $_->[0] } @{$p->{$k}} ] : $p->{$k}->[0]->[0] } keys %$p; %v } =item B This method returns the method of the current request. =cut sub method { $_[0]{method} } =item B Returns the request content or undef if only parameters for a form were transmitted. =cut sub content { $_[0]->{content} } =item B This method will return a hash reference containing the HTTP headers for this HTTP request. =cut sub headers { $_[0]->{hdr} } =item B This method returns the host/IP of the HTTP client this request was received from. =cut sub client_host { $_[0]->{host} } =item B This method returns the TCP port number of the HTTP client this request was received from. =cut sub client_port { $_[0]->{port} } =back =head1 COPYRIGHT & LICENSE Copyright 2008-2009 Robin Redeker, all rights reserved.
