It is +specialized for server push operations, which allow you to create +animated pages whose content changes at regular intervals. + +You provide CGI::Push with a pointer to a subroutine that will draw +one page. Every time your subroutine is called, it generates a new +page. The contents of the page will be transmitted to the browser +in such a way that it will replace what was there beforehand. The +technique will work with HTML pages as well as with graphics files, +allowing you to create animated GIFs. + +Only Netscape Navigator supports server push. Internet Explorer +browsers do not. + +=head1 USING CGI::Push + +CGI::Push adds one new method to the standard CGI suite, do_push(). +When you call this method, you pass it a reference to a subroutine +that is responsible for drawing each new page, an interval delay, and +an optional subroutine for drawing the last page. Other optional +parameters include most of those recognized by the CGI header() +method. + +You may call do_push() in the object oriented manner or not, as you +prefer: + + use CGI::Push; + $q = new CGI::Push; + $q->do_push(-next_page=>\&draw_a_page); + + -or- + + use CGI::Push qw(:standard); + do_push(-next_page=>\&draw_a_page); + +Parameters are as follows: + +=over 4 + +=item -next_page + + do_push(-next_page=>\&my_draw_routine); + +This required parameter points to a reference to a subroutine responsible for +drawing each new page. The subroutine should expect two parameters +consisting of the CGI object and a counter indicating the number +of times the subroutine has been called. It should return the +contents of the page as an B<array> of one or more items to print. +It can return a false value (or an empty array) in order to abort the +redrawing loop and print out the final page (if any) + + sub my_draw_routine { + my($q,$counter) = @_; + return undef if $counter > 100; + return start_html('testing'), + h1('testing'), + "This page called $counter times"; + } + +You are of course free to refer to create and use global variables +within your draw routine in order to achieve special effects. + +=item -last_page + +This optional parameter points to a reference to the subroutine +responsible for drawing the last page of the series. It is called +after the -next_page routine returns a false value. The subroutine +itself should have exactly the same calling conventions as the +-next_page routine. + +=item -type + +This optional parameter indicates the content type of each page. It +defaults to "text/html". Normally the module assumes that each page +is of a homogenous MIME type. However if you provide either of the +magic values "heterogeneous" or "dynamic" (the latter provided for the +convenience of those who hate long parameter names), you can specify +the MIME type -- and other header fields -- on a per-page basis. See +"heterogeneous pages" for more details. + +=item -delay + +This indicates the delay, in seconds, between frames. Smaller delays +refresh the page faster. Fractional values are allowed. + +B<If not specified, -delay will default to 1 second> + +=item -cookie, -target, -expires, -nph + +These have the same meaning as the like-named parameters in +CGI::header(). + +If not specified, -nph will default to 1 (as needed for many servers, see below). + +=back + +=head2 Heterogeneous Pages + +Ordinarily all pages displayed by CGI::Push share a common MIME type. +However by providing a value of "heterogeneous" or "dynamic" in the +do_push() -type parameter, you can specify the MIME type of each page +on a case-by-case basis. + +If you use this option, you will be responsible for producing the +HTTP header for each page. Simply modify your draw routine to +look like this: + + sub my_draw_routine { + my($q,$counter) = @_; + return header('text/html'), # note we're producing the header here + start_html('testing'), + h1('testing'), + "This page called $counter times"; + } + +You can add any header fields that you like, but some (cookies and +status fields included) may not be interpreted by the browser. One +interesting effect is to display a series of pages, then, after the +last page, to redirect the browser to a new URL. Because redirect() +does b<not> work, the easiest way is with a -refresh header field, +as shown below: + + sub my_draw_routine { + my($q,$counter) = @_; + return undef if $counter > 10; + return header('text/html'), # note we're producing the header here + start_html('testing'), + h1('testing'), + "This page called $counter times"; + } + + sub my_last_page { + return header(-refresh=>'5; URL=http://somewhere.else/finished.html', + -type=>'text/html'), + start_html('Moved'), + h1('This is the last page'), + 'Goodbye!' + hr, + end_html; + } + +=head2 Changing the Page Delay on the Fly + +If you would like to control the delay between pages on a page-by-page +basis, call push_delay() from within your draw routine. push_delay() +takes a single numeric argument representing the number of seconds you +wish to delay after the current page is displayed and before +displaying the next one. The delay may be fractional. Without +parameters, push_delay() just returns the current delay. + +=head1 INSTALLING CGI::Push SCRIPTS + +Server push scripts must be installed as no-parsed-header (NPH) +scripts in order to work correctly on many servers. On Unix systems, +this is most often accomplished by prefixing the script's name with "nph-". +Recognition of NPH scripts happens automatically with WebSTAR and +Microsoft IIS. Users of other servers should see their documentation +for help. + +Apache web server from version 1.3b2 on does not need server +push scripts installed as NPH scripts: the -nph parameter to do_push() +may be set to a false value to disable the extra headers needed by an +NPH script. + +=head1 AUTHOR INFORMATION + +Copyright 1995-1998, Lincoln D.
