=head1 NAME

Win32::Internet - Access to WININET.DLL functions

=head1 INTRODUCTION

This extension to Perl implements the Win32 Internet APIs (found in
F<WININET.DLL>). They give a complete support for HTTP, FTP and GOPHER
connections.

See the L<"Version History"> and the L<"Functions Table"> for a list
of the currently supported features. You should also get a copy of the
L<"Microsoft Win32 Internet Functions"> documentation.

=head1 REFERENCE

To use this module, first add the following line at the beginning of
your script:

    use Win32::Internet;

Then you have to open an Internet connection with this command:

    $Connection = new Win32::Internet();

This is required to use any of the function of this module.  It will
create an Internet object in Perl on which you can act upon with the
L<"General Internet Functions"> explained later.

The objects available are:

=over

=item *

Internet connections (the main object, see C<new>)

=item *

URLs (see C<OpenURL>)

=item *

FTP sessions (see C<FTP>)

=item *

HTTP sessions (see C<HTTP>)

=item *

HTTP requests (see C<OpenRequest>)

=back

As in the good Perl tradition, there are in this extension different
ways to do the same thing; there are, in fact, different levels of
implementation of the Win32 Internet Functions.  Some routines use
several Win32 API functions to perform a complex task in a single
call; they are simpler to use, but of course less powerful.

There are then other functions that implement nothing more and nothing
less than the corresponding API function, so you can use all of their
power, but with some additional programming steps.

To make an example, there is a function called C<FetchURL> that you
can use to fetch the content of any HTTP, FTP or GOPHER URL with this
simple commands:

    $INET = new Win32::Internet();
    $file = $INET->FetchURL("http://www.yahoo.com");

You can have the same result (and this is actually what is done by
C<FetchURL>) this way:

    $INET = new Win32::Internet();
    $URL = $INET->OpenURL("http://www.yahoo.com");
    $file = $URL->ReadFile();
    $URL->Close();

Or, you can open a complete HTTP session:

    $INET = new Win32::Internet();
    $HTTP = $INET->HTTP("www.yahoo.com", "anonymous", "dada@divinf.it");
    ($statuscode, $headers, $file) = $HTTP->Request("/");
    $HTTP->Close();

Finally, you can choose to manage even the HTTP request:

    $INET = new Win32::Internet();
    $HTTP = $INET->HTTP("www.yahoo.com", "anonymous", "dada@divinf.it");
    $HTTP->OpenRequest($REQ, "/");
    $REQ->AddHeader("If-Modified-Since: Saturday, 16-Nov-96 15:58:50 GMT");
    $REQ->SendRequest();
    $statuscode = $REQ->QueryInfo("",HTTP_QUERY_STATUS_CODE);
    $lastmodified = $REQ->QueryInfo("Last-Modified");
    $file = $REQ->ReadEntireFile();
    $REQ->Close();
    $HTTP->Close();

To open and control a complete FTP session, type:

    $Connection->FTP($Session, "ftp://ftp.activeware.com", "anonymous", "dada\@divinf.it");

This will create an FTP object in Perl to which you can apply the L<"FTP
functions"> provided by the package:

    $Session->Cd("/ntperl/perl5.001m/CurrentBuild");
    $Session->Ascii();
    $Session->Get("110-i86.zip");
    $Session->Close();

For a more complete example, see the TEST.PL file that comes with the
package.

=head2 General Internet Functions

B<General Note>

All methods assume that you have the line:

    use Win32::Internet;

somewhere before the method calls, and that you have an Internet
object called $INET which was created using this call:

    $INET = new Win32::Internet();

See C<new> for more information.

B<Methods>

=over

=item CanonicalizeURL URL, [flags]

Converts a URL to a canonical format, which includes converting unsafe
characters to escape sequences.  Returns the canonicalized URL or
C<undef> on errors.  For the possible values of I<flags>, refer to the
L<"Microsoft Win32 Internet Functions"> document.  See also
C<CombineURL> and C<OpenURL>.

Example:

    $cURL = $INET->CanonicalizeURL($URL);
    $URL = $INET->CanonicalizeURL($cURL, ICU_DECODE);

=item Close

=item Close object

Closes an Internet connection.  This can be applied to any
Win32::Internet object (Internet connections, URLs, FTP sessions,
etc.).  Note that it is not "strictly" required to close the
connections you create, since the Win32::Internet objects are
automatically closed when the program ends (or when you elsehow
destroy such an object).

Example:

    $INET->Close();
    $FTP->Close();
    $INET->Close($FTP); # same as above...

=item CombineURL baseURL, relativeURL, [flags]

Combines a base and relative URL into a single URL.  Returns the
(canonicalized) combined URL or C<undef> on errors.  For the possible
values of I<flags>, refer to the L<"Microsoft Win32 Internet
Functions"> document.  See also C<CombineURL> and C<OpenURL>.

Example:

    $URL = $INET->CombineURL("http://www.divinf.it/dada/perl/internet", "..");

=item ConnectBackoff [value]

Reads or sets the delay value, in milliseconds, to wait between
connection retries.  If no I<value> parameter is specified, the
current value is returned; otherwise, the delay between retries is set
to I<value>.  See also C<ConnectTimeout>, C<ConnectRetries>,
C<QueryOption> and C<SetOption>.

Example:

    $HTTP->ConnectBackoff(2000);
    $backoff = $HTTP->ConnectBackoff();

=item ConnectRetries [value]

Reads or sets the number of times a connection is retried before
considering it failed.  If no I<value> parameter is specified, the
current value is returned; otherwise, the number of retries is set to
I<value>.  The default value for C<ConnectRetries> is 5.  See also
C<ConnectBackoff>, C<ConnectTimeout>, C<QueryOption> and C<SetOption>.

Example:

    $HTTP->ConnectRetries(20);
    $retries = $HTTP->ConnectRetries();

=item ConnectTimeout [value]

Reads or sets the timeout value (in milliseconds) before a connection
is considered failed.  If no I<value> parameter is specified, the
current value is returned; otherwise, the timeout is set to I<value>.
The default value for C<ConnectTimeout> is infinite.  See also
C<ConnectBackoff>, C<ConnectRetries>, C<QueryOption> and C<SetOption>.

Example:

    $HTTP->ConnectTimeout(10000);
    $timeout = $HTTP->ConnectTimeout();

=item ControlReceiveTimeout [value]

Reads or sets the timeout value (in milliseconds) to use for non-data
(control) receive requests before they are canceled.  Currently, this
value has meaning only for C<FTP> sessions.  If no I<value> parameter
is specified, the current value is returned; otherwise, the timeout is
set to I<value>.  The default value for C<ControlReceiveTimeout> is
infinite.  See also C<ControlSendTimeout>, C<QueryOption> and
C<SetOption>.

Example:

    $HTTP->ControlReceiveTimeout(10000);
    $timeout = $HTTP->ControlReceiveTimeout();

=item ControlSendTimeout [value]

Reads or sets the timeout value (in milliseconds) to use for non-data
(control) send requests before they are canceled.  Currently, this
value has meaning only for C<FTP> sessions.  If no I<value> parameter
is specified, the current value is returned; otherwise, the timeout is
set to I<value>.  The default value for C<ControlSendTimeout> is
infinite.  See also C<ControlReceiveTimeout>, C<QueryOption> and
C<SetOption>.

Example:

    $HTTP->ControlSendTimeout(10000);
    $timeout = $HTTP->ControlSendTimeout();

=item CrackURL URL, [flags]

Splits an URL into its component parts and returns them in an array.
Returns C<undef> on errors, otherwise the array will contain the
following values: I<scheme, host, port, username, password, path,
extrainfo>.

For example, the URL "http://www.divinf.it/index.html#top" can be
splitted in:

    http, www.divinf.it, 80, anonymous, dada@divinf.it, /index.html, #top

If you don't specify a I<flags> parameter, ICU_ESCAPE will be used by
default; for the possible values of I<flags> refer to the L<"Microsoft
Win32 Internet Functions"> documentation.  See also C<CreateURL>.

Example:

    @parts=$INET->CrackURL("http://www.activeware.com");
    ($scheme, $host, $port, $user, $pass, $path, $extra) =
         $INET->CrackURL("http://www.divinf.it:80/perl-win32/index.sht#feedback");

=item CreateURL scheme, hostname, port, username, password, path, extrainfo, [flags]

=item CreateURL hashref, [flags]

Creates a URL from its component parts.  Returns C<undef> on errors,
otherwise the created URL.

If you pass I<hashref> (a reference to an hash array), the following
values are taken from the array:

    %hash=(
      "scheme"    => "scheme",
      "hostname"  => "hostname",
      "port"      => port,
      "username"  => "username",
      "password"  => "password",
      "path"      => "path",
      "extrainfo" => "extrainfo",
    );

If you don't specify a I<flags> parameter, ICU_ESCAPE will be used by
default; for the other possible values of I<flags> refer to the
L<"Microsoft Win32 Internet Functions"> documentation.  See also
C<CrackURL>.

Example:

    $URL=$I->CreateURL("http", "www.divinf.it", 80, "", "", "/perl-win32/index.sht", "#feedback");
    $URL=$I->CreateURL(\%params);

=item DataReceiveTimeout [value]

Reads or sets the timeout value (in milliseconds) to use for data
receive requests before they are canceled.  If no I<value> parameter
is specified, the current value is returned; otherwise, the timeout is
set to I<value>.  The default value for DataReceiveTimeout is
infinite.  See also C<DataSendTimeout>, C<QueryOption> and
C<SetOption>.

Example:

    $HTTP->DataReceiveTimeout(10000);
    $timeout = $HTTP->DataReceiveTimeout();

=item DataSendTimeout [value]

Reads or sets the timeout value (in milliseconds) to use for data send
requests before they are canceled.  If no I<value> parameter is
specified, the current value is returned; otherwise, the timeout is
set to I<value>.  The default value for DataSendTimeout is infinite.
See also C<DataReceiveTimeout>, C<QueryOption> and C<SetOption>.

Example:

    $HTTP->DataSendTimeout(10000);
    $timeout = $HTTP->DataSendTimeout();

=item Error

Returns the last recorded error in the form of an array or string
(depending upon the context) containing the error number and an error
description.  Can be applied on any Win32::Internet object (FTP
sessions, etc.).  There are 3 types of error you can encounter; they
are recognizable by the error number returned:

=over

=item * -1

A "trivial" error has occurred in the package.  For example, you tried
to use a method on the wrong type of object.

=item * 1 .. 11999

A generic error has occurred and the Win32::GetLastError error message
is returned.

=item * 12000 and higher

An Internet error has occurred; the extended Win32 Internet API error
message is returned.

=back

See also C<GetResponse>.

Example:

    die $INET->Error(), qq(\n);
    ($ErrNum, $ErrText) = $INET->Error();

=item FetchURL URL

Fetch the content of an HTTP, FTP or GOPHER URL.  Returns the content
of the file read (or C<undef> if there was an error and nothing was
read).  See also C<OpenURL> and C<ReadFile>.

Example:

    $file = $INET->FetchURL("http://www.yahoo.com/");
    $file = $INET->FetchURL("ftp://www.activeware.com/contrib/internet.zip");

=item FTP ftpobject, server, username, password, [port, pasv, context]

=item FTP ftpobject, hashref

Opens an FTP connection to server logging in with the given
I<username> and I<password>.

The parameters and their values are:

=over

=item * server

The server to connect to.  Default: I<none>.

=item * username

The username used to login to the server.  Default: anonymous.

=item * password

The password used to login to the server.  Default: I<none>.

=item * port

The port of the FTP service on the server.  Default: 21.

=item * pasv

If it is a value other than 0, use passive transfer mode.  Default is
taken from the parent Internet connection object; you can set this
value with the C<Pasv> method.

=item * context

A number to identify this operation if it is asynchronous.  See
C<SetStatusCallback> and C<GetStatusCallback> for more info on
asynchronous operations.  Default: I<none>.

=back

If you pass I<hashref> (a reference to an hash array), the following
values are taken from the array:

    %hash=(
      "server"   => "server",
      "username" => "username",
      "password" => "password",
      "port"     => port,
      "pasv"     => pasv,
      "context"  => context,
    );

This method returns C<undef> if the connection failed, a number
otherwise.  You can then call any of the L<"FTP functions"> as methods
of the newly created I<ftpobject>.

Example:

    $result = $INET->FTP($FTP, "ftp.activeware.com", "anonymous", "dada\@divinf.it");
    # and then for example...
    $FTP->Cd("/ntperl/perl5.001m/CurrentBuild");

    $params{"server"} = "ftp.activeware.com";
    $params{"password"} = "dada\@divinf.it";
    $params{"pasv"} = 0;
    $result = $INET->FTP($FTP,\%params);

=item GetResponse

Returns the text sent by a remote server in response to the last
function executed.  It applies on any Win32::Internet object,
particularly of course on L<FTP sessions|"FTP functions">.  See also
the C<Error> function.

Example:

    print $INET->GetResponse();
    $INET->FTP($FTP, "ftp.activeware.com", "anonymous", "dada\@divinf.it");
    print $FTP->GetResponse();

=item GetStatusCallback context

Returns information about the progress of the asynchronous operation
identified by I<context>; those informations consist of two values: a
status code (one of the INTERNET_STATUS_* L<"Constants">) and an
additional value depending on the status code; for example, if the
status code returned is INTERNET_STATUS_HANDLE_CREATED, the second
value will hold the handle just created.  For more informations on
those values, please refer to the L<"Microsoft Win32 Internet
Functions"> documentation.  See also C<SetStatusCallback>.

Example:

    ($status, $info) = $INET->GetStatusCallback(1);

=item HTTP httpobject, server, username, password, [port, flags, context]

=item HTTP httpobject, hashref

Opens an HTTP connection to I<server> logging in with the given
I<username> and I<password>.

The parameters and their values are:

=over

=item * server

The server to connect to.  Default: I<none>.

=item * username

The username used to login to the server.  Default: anonymous.

=item * password

The password used to login to the server.  Default: I<none>.

=item * port

The port of the HTTP service on the server.  Default: 80.

=item * flags

Additional flags affecting the behavior of the function.  Default:
I<none>.

=item * context

A number to identify this operation if it is asynchronous.  See
C<SetStatusCallback> and C<GetStatusCallback> for more info on
asynchronous operations.  Default: I<none>.

=back

Refer to the L<"Microsoft Win32 Internet Functions"> documentation for
more details on those parameters.

If you pass I<hashref> (a reference to an hash array), the following
values are taken from the array:

    %hash=(
      "server"   => "server",
      "username" => "username",
      "password" => "password",
      "port"     => port,
      "flags"    => flags,
      "context"  => context,
    );

This method returns C<undef> if the connection failed, a number
otherwise.  You can then call any of the L<"HTTP functions"> as
methods of the newly created I<httpobject>.

Example:

    $result = $INET->HTTP($HTTP,"www.activeware.com","anonymous","dada\@divinf.it");
    # and then for example...
    ($statuscode, $headers, $file) = $HTTP->Request("/gifs/camel.gif");

    $params{"server"} = "www.activeware.com";
    $params{"password"} = "dada\@divinf.it";
    $params{"flags"} = INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD;
    $result = $INET->HTTP($HTTP,\%params);

=item new Win32::Internet [useragent, opentype, proxy, proxybypass, flags]

=item new Win32::Internet [hashref]

Creates a new Internet object and initializes the use of the Internet
functions; this is required before any of the functions of this
package can be used.  Returns C<undef> if the connection fails, a number
otherwise.  The parameters and their values are:

=over

=item * useragent

The user agent passed to HTTP requests.  See C<OpenRequest>.  Default:
Perl-Win32::Internet/I<version>.

=item * opentype

How to access to the Internet (eg. directly or using a proxy).
Default: INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT.

=item * proxy

Name of the proxy server (or servers) to use.  Default: I<none>.

=item * proxybypass

Optional list of host names or IP addresses, or both, that are known
locally.  Default: I<none>.

=item * flags

Additional flags affecting the behavior of the function.  Default:
I<none>.

=back

Refer to the L<"Microsoft Win32 Internet Functions"> documentation for
more details on those parameters.  If you pass I<hashref> (a reference to
an hash array), the following values are taken from the array:

    %hash=(
      "useragent"   => "useragent",
      "opentype"    => "opentype",
      "proxy"       => "proxy",
      "proxybypass" => "proxybypass",
      "flags"       => flags,
    );

Example:

    $INET = new Win32::Internet();
    die qq(Cannot connect to Internet...\n) if ! $INET;

    $INET = new Win32::Internet("Mozilla/3.0", INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PROXY, "www.microsoft.com", "");

    $params{"flags"} = INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC;
    $INET = new Win32::Internet(\%params);

=item OpenURL urlobject, URL

Opens a connection to an HTTP, FTP or GOPHER Uniform Resource Location
(URL).  Returns C<undef> on errors or a number if the connection was
succesful.  You can then retrieve the URL content by applying the
methods C<QueryDataAvailable> and C<ReadFile> on the newly created
I<urlobject>.  See also C<FetchURL>.

Example:

    $INET->OpenURL($URL, "http://www.yahoo.com/");
    $bytes = $URL->QueryDataAvailable();
    $file = $URL->ReadEntireFile();
    $URL->Close();

=item Password [password]

Reads or sets the password used for an C<FTP> or C<HTTP> connection.
If no I<password> parameter is specified, the current value is
returned; otherwise, the password is set to I<password>.  See also
C<Username>, C<QueryOption> and C<SetOption>.

Example:

    $HTTP->Password("splurfgnagbxam");
    $password = $HTTP->Password();

=item QueryDataAvailable

Returns the number of bytes of data that are available to be read
immediately by a subsequent call to C<ReadFile> (or C<undef> on
errors).  Can be applied to URL or HTTP request objects.  See
C<OpenURL> or C<OpenRequest>.

Example:

    $INET->OpenURL($URL, "http://www.yahoo.com/");
    $bytes = $URL->QueryDataAvailable();

=item QueryOption option

Queries an Internet option.  For the possible values of I<option>,
refer to the L<"Microsoft Win32 Internet Functions"> document.  See
also C<SetOption>.

Example:

    $value = $INET->QueryOption(INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT);
    $value = $HTTP->QueryOption(INTERNET_OPTION_USERNAME);

=item ReadEntireFile

Reads all the data available from an opened URL or HTTP request
object.  Returns what have been read or C<undef> on errors.  See also
C<OpenURL>, C<OpenRequest> and C<ReadFile>.

Example:

    $INET->OpenURL($URL, "http://www.yahoo.com/");
    $file = $URL->ReadEntireFile();

=item ReadFile bytes

Reads I<bytes> bytes of data from an opened URL or HTTP request
object.  Returns what have been read or C<undef> on errors.  See also
C<OpenURL>, C<OpenRequest>, C<QueryDataAvailable> and
C<ReadEntireFile>.

B<Note:> be careful to keep I<bytes> to an acceptable value (eg.  don't
tell him to swallow megabytes at once...).  C<ReadEntireFile> in fact
uses C<QueryDataAvailable> and C<ReadFile> in a loop to read no more
than 16k at a time.

Example:

    $INET->OpenURL($URL, "http://www.yahoo.com/");
    $chunk = $URL->ReadFile(16000);

=item SetOption option, value

Sets an Internet option.  For the possible values of I<option>, refer to
the L<"Microsoft Win32 Internet Functions"> document.  See also
C<QueryOption>.

Example:

    $INET->SetOption(INTERNET_OPTION_CONNECT_TIMEOUT,10000);
    $HTTP->SetOption(INTERNET_OPTION_USERNAME,"dada");

=item SetStatusCallback

Initializes the callback routine used to return data about the
progress of an asynchronous operation.

Example:

    $INET->SetStatusCallback();

This is one of the step required to perform asynchronous operations;
the complete procedure is:

    # use the INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC when initializing
    $params{'flags'}=INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC;
    $INET = new Win32::Internet(\%params);

    # initialize the callback routine
    $INET->SetStatusCallback();

    # specify the context parameter (the last 1 in this case)
    $INET->HTTP($HTTP, "www.yahoo.com", "anonymous", "dada\@divinf.it", 80, 0, 1);

At this point, control returns immediately to Perl and $INET->Error()
will return 997, which means an asynchronous I/O operation is
pending.  Now, you can call

    $HTTP->GetStatusCallback(1);

in a loop to verify what's happening; see also C<GetStatusCallback>.

=item TimeConvert time

=item TimeConvert seconds, minute, hours, day, month, year,
                  day_of_week, RFC

The first form takes a HTTP date/time string and returns the date/time
converted in the following array: I<seconds, minute, hours, day,
month, year, day_of_week>.

The second form does the opposite (or at least it should, because
actually seems to be malfunctioning): it takes the values and returns
an HTTP date/time string, in the RFC format specified by the I<RFC>
parameter (OK, I didn't find yet any accepted value in the range
0..2000, let me know if you have more luck with it).

Example:

    ($sec, $min, $hour, $day, $mday, $year, $wday) =
       $INET->TimeConvert("Sun, 26 Jan 1997 20:01:52 GMT");

    # the opposite DOESN'T WORK! which value should $RFC have???
    $time = $INET->TimeConvert(52, 1, 20, 26, 1, 1997, 0, $RFC);

=item UserAgent [name]

Reads or sets the user agent used for HTTP requests.  If no I<name>
parameter is specified, the current value is returned; otherwise, the
user agent is set to I<name>.  See also C<QueryOption> and
C<SetOption>.

Example:

    $INET->UserAgent("Mozilla/3.0");
    $useragent = $INET->UserAgent();

=item Username [name]

Reads or sets the username used for an C<FTP> or C<HTTP> connection.
If no I<name> parameter is specified, the current value is returned;
otherwise, the username is set to I<name>.  See also C<Password>,
C<QueryOption> and SetOption.

Example:

    $HTTP->Username("dada");
    $username = $HTTP->Username();

=item Version

Returns the version numbers for the Win32::Internet package and the
WININET.DLL version, as an array or string, depending on the context.
The string returned will contain "package_version/DLL_version", while
the array will contain: "package_version", "DLL_version".

Example:

    $version = $INET->Version(); # should return "0.06/4.70.1215"
    @version = $INET->Version(); # should return ("0.06", "4.70.1215")

=head2 FTP Functions

B<General Note>

All methods assume that you have the following lines:

    use Win32::Internet;
    $INET = new Win32::Internet();
    $INET->FTP($FTP, "hostname", "username", "password");

somewhere before the method calls; in other words, we assume that you
have an Internet object called $INET and an open FTP session called
$FTP.

See C<new> and C<FTP> for more information.


B<Methods>

=over

=item Ascii

=item Asc

Sets the ASCII transfer mode for this FTP session.  It will be applied
to the subsequent C<Get> functions.  See also the C<Binary> and
C<Mode> function.

Example:

    $FTP->Ascii();

=item Binary

=item Bin

Sets the binary transfer mode for this FTP session.  It will be
applied to the subsequent C<Get> functions.  See also the C<Ascii> and
C<Mode> function.

Example:

Example:

    $FTP->Delete("110-i86.zip");

=item Get remote, [local, overwrite, flags, context]

Gets the I<remote> FTP file and saves it locally in I<local>.  If
I<local> is not specified, it will be the same name as I<remote>.
Returns C<undef> on error.  The parameters and their values are:

=over

=item * remote

The name of the remote file on the FTP server.  Default: I<none>.

=item * local

The name of the local file to create.  Default: remote.

=item * overwrite

If 0, overwrites I<local> if it exists; with any other value, the
function fails if the I<local> file already exists.  Default: 0.

=item * flags

Additional flags affecting the behavior of the function.  Default:
I<none>.

=item * context

A number to identify this operation if it is asynchronous.  See
C<SetStatusCallback> and C<GetStatusCallback> for more info on
asynchronous operations.  Default: I<none>.

=back

Refer to the L<"Microsoft Win32 Internet Functions"> documentation for
more details on those parameters.

Example:

    $FTP->Get("110-i86.zip");
    $FTP->Get("/pub/perl/languages/CPAN/00index.html", "CPAN_index.html");

=item List [pattern, listmode]

=item Ls [pattern, listmode]

=item Dir [pattern, listmode]

Returns a list containing the files found in this directory,
eventually matching the given I<pattern> (which, if omitted, is
considered "*.*").  The content of the returned list depends on the
I<listmode> parameter, which can have the following values:

=over

=item * listmode=1 (or omitted)

the list contains the names of the files found.  Example:

    @files = $FTP->List();
    @textfiles = $FTP->List("*.txt");
    foreach $file (@textfiles) {
      print "Name: ", $file, "\n";
    }

=item * listmode=2

the list contains 7 values for each file, which respectively are:

=over

=item * the file name

=item * the DOS short file name, aka 8.3

=item * the size

=item * the attributes

=item * the creation time

=item * the last access time

=item * the last modified time

=back

Example:

    @files = $FTP->List("*.*", 2);
    for($i=0; $i<=$#files; $i+=7) {
      print "Name: ", @files[$i], "\n";
      print "Size: ", @files[$i+2], "\n";
      print "Attr: ", @files[$i+3], "\n";
    }

=item * listmode=3

the list contains a reference to an hash array for each found file;
each hash contains:

=over

=item * name => the file name

=item * altname => the DOS short file name, aka 8.3

=item * size => the size

=item * attr => the attributes

=item * ctime => the creation time

=item * atime => the last access time

=item * mtime => the last modified time

=back

Example:

    @files = $FTP->List("*.*", 3);
    foreach $file (@files) {
      print $file->{'name'}, " ", $file->{'size'}, " ", $file->{'attr'}, "\n";
    }

B<Note:> all times are reported as strings of the following format:
I<second, hour, minute, day, month, year>.

Example:

    $file->{'mtime'} == "0,10,58,9,12,1996" stands for 09 Dec 1996 at 10:58:00

=back

=item Mkdir name

=item Md name

Creates a directory on the FTP remote host.  Returns C<undef> on error.

Example:

    $FTP->Mkdir("NextBuild");

=item Mode [mode]

If called with no arguments, returns the current transfer mode for
this FTP session ("asc" for ASCII or "bin" for binary).  The I<mode>
argument can be "asc" or "bin", in which case the appropriate transfer
mode is selected.  See also the Ascii and Binary functions.  Returns
C<undef> on errors.

Example:

    print "Current mode is: ", $FTP->Mode();
    $FTP->Mode("asc"); # ...  same as $FTP->Ascii();

=item Pasv [mode]

If called with no arguments, returns 1 if the current FTP session has
passive transfer mode enabled, 0 if not.

You can call it with a I<mode> parameter (0/1) only as a method of a
Internet object (see C<new>), in which case it will set the default
value for the next C<FTP> objects you create (read: set it before,
because you can't change this value once you opened the FTP session).

Example:

    print "Pasv is: ", $FTP->Pasv();

    $INET->Pasv(1);
    $INET->FTP($FTP,"ftp.activeware.com", "anonymous", "dada\@divinf.it");
    $FTP->Pasv(0); # this will be ignored...

=item Put local, [remote, context]

Upload the I<local> file to the FTP server saving it under the name
I<remote>, which if if omitted is the same name as I<local>.  Returns
C<undef> on error.

I<context> is a number to identify this operation if it is asynchronous.
See C<SetStatusCallback> and C<GetStatusCallback> for more info on
asynchronous operations.

Example:

    $FTP->Put("internet.zip");
    $FTP->Put("d:/users/dada/temp.zip", "/temp/dada.zip");

=item Pwd

Returns the current directory on the FTP server or C<undef> on errors.

Example:

    $path = $FTP->Pwd();

=item Rename oldfile, newfile

=item Ren oldfile, newfile

Renames a file on the FTP remote host.  Returns C<undef> on error.

Example:

    $FTP->Rename("110-i86.zip", "68i-011.zip");

=item Rmdir name

=item Rd name

Removes a directory on the FTP remote host.  Returns C<undef> on error.

Example:

    $FTP->Rmdir("CurrentBuild");

=back

=head2 HTTP Functions

B<General Note>

All methods assume that you have the following lines:

    use Win32::Internet;
    $INET = new Win32::Internet();
    $INET->HTTP($HTTP, "hostname", "username", "password");

somewhere before the method calls; in other words, we assume that you
have an Internet object called $INET and an open HTTP session called
$HTTP.

See C<new> and C<HTTP> for more information.


B<Methods>

=over

=item AddHeader header, [flags]

Adds HTTP request headers to an HTTP request object created with
C<OpenRequest>.  For the possible values of I<flags> refer to the
L<"Microsoft Win32 Internet Functions"> document.

Example:

    $HTTP->OpenRequest($REQUEST,"/index.html");
    $REQUEST->AddHeader("If-Modified-Since:  Sunday, 17-Nov-96 11:40:03 GMT");
    $REQUEST->AddHeader("Accept: text/html\r\n", HTTP_ADDREQ_FLAG_REPLACE);

=item OpenRequest requestobject, [path, method, version, referer, accept, flags, context]

=item OpenRequest requestobject, hashref

Opens an HTTP request.  Returns C<undef> on errors or a number if the
connection was succesful.  You can then use one of the C<AddHeader>,
C<SendRequest>, C<QueryInfo>, C<QueryDataAvailable> and C<ReadFile>
methods on the newly created I<requestobject>.  The parameters and
their values are:

=over

=item * path

The object to request.  This is generally a file name, an executable
module, etc.  Default: /

=item * method

The method to use; can actually be GET, POST, HEAD or PUT.  Default:
GET

=item * version

The HTTP version.  Default: HTTP/1.0

=item * referer

The URL of the document from which the URL in the request was
obtained.  Default: I<none>

=item * accept

The content types accepted.  They must be separated by a "\0" (ASCII
zero).  Default: text/* image/gif image/jpeg

=item * flags

Additional flags affecting the behavior of the function.  Default:
I<none>

=item * context

A number to identify this operation if it is asynchronous.  See
C<SetStatusCallback> and C<GetStatusCallback> for more info on
asynchronous operations.  Default: I<none>

=back

Refer to the L<"Microsoft Win32 Internet Functions"> documentation for
more details on those parameters.  If you pass I<hashref> (a reference to
an hash array), the following values are taken from the array:

    %hash=(
      "path"        => "path",
      "method"      => "method",
      "version"     => "version",
      "referer"     => "referer",
      "accept"      => "accept",
      "flags"       => flags,
      "context"     => context,
    );

See also C<Request>.

Example:

    $HTTP->OpenRequest($REQUEST, "/index.html");
    $HTTP->OpenRequest($REQUEST, "/index.html", "GET", "HTTP/0.9");

    $params{"path"} = "/index.html";
    $params{"flags"} = "
    $HTTP->OpenRequest($REQUEST, \%params);

=item QueryInfo header, [flags]

Queries information about an HTTP request object created with
C<OpenRequest>.  You can specify an I<header> (for example,
"Content-type") and/or one or more I<flags>.  If you don't specify
I<flags>, HTTP_QUERY_CUSTOM will be used by default; this means that
I<header> should contain a valid HTTP header name.  For the possible
values of I<flags> refer to the L<"Microsoft Win32 Internet
Functions"> document.

Example:

    $HTTP->OpenRequest($REQUEST,"/index.html");
    $statuscode = $REQUEST->QueryInfo("", HTTP_QUERY_STATUS_CODE);
    $headers = $REQUEST->QueryInfo("", HTTP_QUERY_RAW_HEADERS_CRLF); # will get all the headers
    $length = $REQUEST->QueryInfo("Content-length");

=item Request [path, method, version, referer, accept, flags]

=item Request hashref

Performs an HTTP request and returns an array containing the status
code, the headers and the content of the file.  It is a one-step
procedure that makes an C<OpenRequest>, a C<SendRequest>, some
C<QueryInfo>, C<ReadFile> and finally C<Close>.  For a description of
the parameters, see C<OpenRequest>.

Example:

    ($statuscode, $headers, $file) = $HTTP->Request("/index.html");
    ($s, $h, $f) = $HTTP->Request("/index.html", "GET", "HTTP/1.0");

=item SendRequest [postdata]

Send an HTTP request to the destination server.  I<postdata> are any
optional data to send immediately after the request header; this is
generally used for POST or PUT requests.  See also C<OpenRequest>.

Example:

    $HTTP->OpenRequest($REQUEST, "/index.html");
    $REQUEST->SendRequest();

    # A POST request...
    $HTTP->OpenRequest($REQUEST, "/cgi-bin/somescript.pl", "POST");

    #This line is a must -> (thanks Philip :)
    $REQUEST->AddHeader("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

    $REQUEST->SendRequest("key1=value1&key2=value2&key3=value3");

This table reports the correspondence between the functions offered by
WININET.DLL and their implementation in the Win32::Internet
extension. Functions showing a "---" are not currently
implemented. Functions enclosed in parens ( ) aren't implemented
straightforwardly, but in a higher-level routine, eg. together with
other functions.

Actually, I don't plan to add support for Gopher, Cookie and Cache
functions. I will if there will be consistent requests to do so.

There are a number of higher-level functions in the Win32::Internet
that simplify some usual procedures, calling more that one WININET API
function. This table reports those functions and the relative WININET
functions they use.
