+=head1 NAME
+
+LWP::UserAgent - Web user agent class
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ require LWP::UserAgent;
+
+ my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
+ $ua->timeout(10);
+ $ua->env_proxy;
+
+ my $response = $ua->get('http://search.cpan.org/');
+
+ if ($response->is_success) {
+ print $response->decoded_content; # or whatever
+ }
+ else {
+ die $response->status_line;
+ }
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The C<LWP::UserAgent> is a class implementing a web user agent.
+C<LWP::UserAgent> objects can be used to dispatch web requests.
+
+In normal use the application creates an 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
+request method the UserAgent, 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(). When using these methods then the creation of the
+request object is hidden as shown in the synopsis above.
+
+The basic approach of the library is to use HTTP style communication
+for all protocol schemes. This means that you will construct
+C<HTTP::Request> objects and receive C<HTTP::Response> objects even
+for non-HTTP resources like I<gopher> and I<ftp>. In order to achieve
+even more similarity to HTTP style communications, gopher menus and
+file directories are converted to HTML documents.
+
+=head1 CONSTRUCTOR METHODS
+
+The following constructor methods are available:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new( %options )
+
+This method constructs a new C<LWP::UserAgent> object and returns it.
+Key/value pair arguments may be provided to set up the initial state.
+The following options correspond to attribute methods described below:
+
+ KEY DEFAULT
+ ----------- --------------------
+ agent "libwww-perl/#.###"
+ from undef
+ conn_cache undef
+ cookie_jar undef
+ default_headers HTTP::Headers->new
+ local_address undef
+ max_size undef
+ max_redirect 7
+ parse_head 1
+ protocols_allowed undef
+ protocols_forbidden undef
+ requests_redirectable ['GET', 'HEAD']
+ timeout 180
+
+The following additional options are also accepted: If the
+C<env_proxy> option is passed in with a TRUE value, then proxy
+settings are read from environment variables (see env_proxy() method
+below). If the C<keep_alive> option is passed in, then a
+C<LWP::ConnCache> is set up (see conn_cache() method below). The
+C<keep_alive> value is passed on as the C<total_capacity> for the
+connection cache.
+
+=item $ua->clone
+
+Returns a copy of the LWP::UserAgent object.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 ATTRIBUTES
+
+The settings of the configuration attributes modify the behaviour of the
+C<LWP::UserAgent> when it dispatches requests. Most of these can also
+be initialized by options passed to the constructor method.
+
+The following attribute methods are provided. The attribute value is
+left unchanged if no argument is given. The return value from each
+method is the old attribute value.
+
+=over
+
+=item $ua->agent
+
+=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 _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
+
+Returns the default agent identifier. This is a string of the form
+"libwww-perl/#.###", where "#.###" is substituted with the version number
+of this library.
+
+=item $ua->from
+
+=item $ua->from( $email_address )
+
+Get/set the 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 C<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. See the default_headers()
+method for the more general interface that allow any header to be defaulted.
+
+=item $ua->cookie_jar
+
+=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 initialized 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->default_headers
+
+=item $ua->default_headers( $headers_obj )
+
+Get/set the headers object that will provide default header values for
+any requests sent. By default this will be an empty C<HTTP::Headers>
+object.
+
+=item $ua->default_header( $field )
+
+=item $ua->default_header( $field => $value )
+
+This is just a short-cut for $ua->default_headers->header( $field =>
+$value ). Example:
+
+ $ua->default_header('Accept-Encoding' => scalar HTTP::Message::decodable());
+ $ua->default_header('Accept-Language' => "no, en");
+
+=item $ua->conn_cache
+
+=item $ua->conn_cache( $cache_obj )
+
+Get/set the C<LWP::ConnCache> object to use. See L<LWP::ConnCache>
+for details.
+
+=item $ua->credentials( $netloc, $realm )
+
+=item $ua->credentials( $netloc, $realm, $uname, $pass )
+
+Get/set the user name and password to be used for a realm.
+
+The $netloc is a string of the form "<host>:<port>". The username and
+password will only be passed to this server. Example:
+
+ $ua->credentials("www.example.com:80", "Some Realm", "foo", "secret");
+
+=item $ua->local_address
+
+=item $ua->local_address( $address )
+
+Get/set the local interface to bind to for network connections. The interface
+can be specified as a hostname or an IP address. This value is passed as the
+C<LocalAddr> argument to L<IO::Socket::INET>.
+
+=item $ua->max_size
+
+=item $ua->max_size( $bytes )
+
+Get/set the size limit for response content. The default is C<undef>,
+which means that there is no limit. If the returned response content
+is only partial, because the size limit was exceeded, then a
+"Client-Aborted" header will be added to the response. The content
+might end up longer than C<max_size> as we abort once appending a
+chunk of data makes the length exceed the limit. The "Content-Length"
+header, if present, will indicate the length of the full content and
+will normally not be the same as C<< length($res->content) >>.
+
+=item $ua->max_redirect
+
+=item $ua->max_redirect( $n )
+
+This reads or sets the object's limit of how many times it will obey
+redirection responses in a given request cycle.
+
+By default, the value is 7. This means that if you call request()
+method and the response is a redirect elsewhere which is in turn a
+redirect, and so on seven times, then LWP gives up after that seventh
+request.
+
+=item $ua->parse_head
+
+=item $ua->parse_head( $boolean )
+
+Get/set a value indicating whether 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->protocols_allowed
+
+=item $ua->protocols_allowed( \@protocols )
+
+This reads (or sets) this user agent's list of protocols that the
+request methods will exclusively allow. The protocol names are case
+insensitive.
+
+For example: C<$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 C<protocols_allowed> list, nor a
+C<protocols_forbidden> list.
+
+Note that having a C<protocols_allowed> list causes any
+C<protocols_forbidden> list to be ignored.
+
+=item $ua->protocols_forbidden
+
+=item $ua->protocols_forbidden( \@protocols )
+
+This reads (or sets) this user agent's list of protocols that the
+request method will I<not> allow. The protocol names are case
+insensitive.
+
+For example: C<$ua-E<gt>protocols_forbidden( [ 'file', 'mailto'] );>
+means that this user agent will I<not> allow those protocols, and
+attempts to use this user agent to access URLs with those schemes
+will result in a 500 error.
+
+To delete the list, call: C<$ua-E<gt>protocols_forbidden(undef)>
+
+=item $ua->requests_redirectable
+
+=item $ua->requests_redirectable( \@requests )
+
+This reads or sets the object's list of request names that
+C<$ua-E<gt>redirect_ok(...)> will allow redirection for. By
+default, this is C<['GET', 'HEAD']>, as per RFC 2616. To
+change to include 'POST', consider:
+
+ push @{ $ua->requests_redirectable }, 'POST';
+
+=item $ua->show_progress
+
+=item $ua->show_progress( $boolean )
+
+Get/set a value indicating whether a progress bar should be displayed
+on on the terminal as requests are processed. The default is FALSE.
+
+=item $ua->timeout
+
+=item $ua->timeout( $secs )
+
+Get/set the timeout value in seconds. The default timeout() value is
+180 seconds, i.e. 3 minutes.
+
+The requests is aborted if no activity on the connection to the server
+is observed for C<timeout> seconds. This means that the time it takes
+for the complete transaction and the request() method to actually
+return might be longer.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Proxy attributes
+
+The following methods set up when requests should be passed via a
+proxy server.
+
+=over
+
+=item $ua->proxy(\@schemes, $proxy_url)
+
+=item $ua->proxy($scheme, $proxy_url)
+
+Set/retrieve proxy URL for a scheme:
+
+ $ua->proxy(['http', 'ftp'], 'http://proxy.sn.no:8001/');
+ $ua->proxy('gopher', 'http://proxy.sn.no:8001/');
+
+The first form specifies that the URL is to be used for proxying of
+access methods listed in the list in the first method argument,
+i.e. 'http' and 'ftp'.
+
+The second form shows a shorthand form for specifying
+proxy URL for a single access scheme.
+
+=item $ua->no_proxy( $domain, ... )
+
+Do not proxy requests to the given domains. Calling no_proxy without
+any domains clears the list of domains. Eg:
+
+ $ua->no_proxy('localhost', 'example.com');
+
+=item $ua->env_proxy
+
+Load proxy settings from *_proxy environment variables. You might
+specify proxies like this (sh-syntax):
+
+ gopher_proxy=http://proxy.my.place/
+ wais_proxy=http://proxy.my.place/
+ no_proxy="localhost,example.com"
+ export gopher_proxy wais_proxy no_proxy
+
+csh or tcsh users should use the C<setenv> command to define these
+environment variables.
+
+On systems with case insensitive environment variables there exists a
+name clash between the CGI environment variables and the C<HTTP_PROXY>
+environment variable normally picked up by env_proxy(). Because of
+this C<HTTP_PROXY> is not honored for CGI scripts. The
+C<CGI_HTTP_PROXY> environment variable can be used instead.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Handlers
+
+Handlers are code that injected at various phases during the
+processing of requests. The following methods are provided to manage
+the active handlers:
+
+=over
+
+=item $ua->add_handler( $phase => \&cb, %matchspec )
+
+Add handler to be invoked in the given processing phase. For how to
+specify %matchspec see L<HTTP::Config/"Matching">.
+
+The possible values $phase and the corresponding callback signatures are:
+
+=over
+
+=item request_preprepare => sub { my($request, $ua, $h) = @_; ... }
+
+The handler is called before the C<request_prepare> and other standard
+initialization of of the request. This can be used to set up headers
+and attributes that the C<request_prepare> handler depends on. Proxy
+initialization should take place here; but in general don't register
+handlers for this phase.
+
+=item request_prepare => sub { my($request, $ua, $h) = @_; ... }
+
+The handler is called before the request is sent and can modify the
+request any way it see fit. This can for instance be used to add
+certain headers to specific requests.
+
+The method can assign a new request object to $_[0] to replace the
+request that is sent fully.
+
+The return value from the callback is ignored. If an exceptions is
+raised it will abort the request and make the request method return a
+"400 Bad request" response.
+
+=item request_send => sub { my($request, $ua, $h) = @_; ... }
+
+This handler get a chance of handling requests before it's sent to the
+protocol handlers. It should return an HTTP::Response object if it
+wishes to terminate the processing; otherwise it should return nothing.
+
+The C<response_header> and C<response_data> handlers will not be
+invoked for this response, but the C<response_done> will be.
+
+=item response_header => sub { my($response, $ua, $h) = @_; ... }
+
+This handler is called right after the response headers have been
+received, but before any content data. The handler might set up
+handlers for data and might croak to abort the request.
+
+The handler might set the $response->{default_add_content} value to
+control if any received data should be added to the response object
+directly. This will initially be false if the $ua->request() method
+was called with a ':content_filename' or ':content_callbak' argument;
+otherwise true.
+
+=item response_data => sub { my($response, $ua, $h, $data) = @_; ... }
+
+This handlers is called for each chunk of data received for the
+response. The handler might croak to abort the request.
+
+This handler need to return a TRUE value to be called again for
+subsequent chunks for the same request.
+
+=item response_done => sub { my($response, $ua, $h) = @_; ... }
+
+The handler is called after the response has been fully received, but
+before any redirect handling is attempted. The handler can be used to
+extract information or modify the response.
+
+=item response_redirect => sub { my($response, $ua, $h) = @_; ... }
+
+The handler is called in $ua->request after C<response_done>. If the
+handler return an HTTP::Request object we'll start over with processing
+this request instead.
+
+=back
+
+=item $ua->remove_handler( undef, %matchspec )
+
+=item $ua->remove_handler( $phase, %matchspec )
+
+Remove handlers that match the given %matchspec. If $phase is not
+provided remove handlers from all phases.
+
+Be careful as calling this function with %matchspec that is not not
+specific enough can remove handlers not owned by you. It's probably
+better to use the set_my_handler() method instead.
+
+The removed handlers are returned.
+
+=item $ua->set_my_handler( $phase, $cb, %matchspec )
+
+Set handlers private to the executing subroutine. Works by defaulting
+an C<owner> field to the %matchhspec that holds the name of the called
+subroutine. You might pass an explicit C<owner> to override this.
+
+If $cb is passed as C<undef>, remove the handler.
+
+=item $ua->get_my_handler( $phase, %matchspec )
+
+=item $ua->get_my_handler( $phase, %matchspec, $init )
+
+Will retrieve the matching handler as hash ref.
+
+If C<$init> is passed passed as a TRUE value, create and add the
+handler if it's not found. If $init is a subroutine reference, then
+it's called with the created handler hash as argument. This sub might
+populate the hash with extra fields; especially the callback. If
+$init is a hash reference, merge the hashes.
+
+=item $ua->handlers( $phase, $request )
+
+=item $ua->handlers( $phase, $response )
+
+Returns the handlers that apply to the given request or response at
+the given processing phase.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 REQUEST METHODS
+
+The methods described in this section are used to dispatch requests
+via the user agent. The following request methods are provided:
+
+=over
+
+=item $ua->get( $url )
+
+=item $ua->get( $url , $field_name => $value, ... )
+
+This method will dispatch a C<GET> request on the given $url. Further
+arguments can be given to initialize the headers of the request. These
+are given as separate name/value pairs. The return value is a
+response object. See L<HTTP::Response> for a description of the
+interface it provides.
+
+There will still be a response object returned when LWP can't connect to the
+server specified in the URL or when other failures in protocol handlers occur.
+These internal responses use the standard HTTP status codes, so the responses
+can't be differentiated by testing the response status code alone. Error
+responses that LWP generates internally will have the "Client-Warning" header
+set to the value "Internal response". If you need to differentiate these
+internal responses from responses that a remote server actually generates, you
+need to test this header value.
+
+Fields names that start with ":" are special. These will not
+initialize headers of the request but will determine how the response
+content is treated. The following special field names are recognized:
+
+ :content_file => $filename
+ :content_cb => \&callback
+ :read_size_hint => $bytes
+
+If a $filename is provided with the C<:content_file> option, then the
+response content will be saved here instead of in the response
+object. If a callback is provided with the C<:content_cb> option then
+this function will be called for each chunk of the response content as
+it is received from the server. If neither of these options are
+given, then the response content will accumulate in the response
+object itself. This might not be suitable for very large response
+bodies. Only one of C<:content_file> or C<:content_cb> can be
+specified. The content of unsuccessful responses will always
+accumulate in the response object itself, regardless of the
+C<:content_file> or C<:content_cb> options passed in.
+
+The C<:read_size_hint> option is passed to the protocol module which
+will try to read data from the server in chunks of this size. A
+smaller value for the C<:read_size_hint> will result in a higher
+number of callback invocations.
+
+The callback function is called with 3 arguments: a chunk of data, a
+reference to the response object, and a reference to the protocol
+object. The callback can abort the request by invoking die(). The
+exception message will show up as the "X-Died" header field in the
+response returned by the get() function.

+=item $ua->head( $url )
+
+=item $ua->head( $url , $field_name => $value, ... )
+
+This method will dispatch a C<HEAD> request on the given $url.
+Otherwise it works like the get() method described above.
+
+=item $ua->post( $url, \%form )
+
+=item $ua->post( $url, \@form )
+
+=item $ua->post( $url, \%form, $field_name => $value, ... )
+

+
+=item $ua->post( $url, $field_name => $value,... Content => \@form )
+
+=item $ua->post( $url, $field_name => $value,... Content => $content )
+
+This method will dispatch a C<POST> request on the given $url, with
+%form or @form providing the key/value pairs for the fill-in form
+content. Additional headers and content options are the same as for
+the get() method.
+
+This method will use the POST() function from C<HTTP::Request::Common>
+to build the request. See L<HTTP::Request::Common> for a details on
+how to pass form content and other advanced features.
+
+=item $ua->mirror( $url, $filename )
+
+This method will get the document identified by $url and store it in
+file called $filename. If the file already exists, then the request
+will contain an "If-Modified-Since" header matching the modification
+time of the file. If the document on the server has not changed since
+this time, then nothing happens. If the document has been updated, it
+will be downloaded again. The modification time of the file will be
+forced to match that of the server.
+
+The return value is the the response object.
+
+=item $ua->request( $request )
+
+=item $ua->request( $request, $content_file )
+
+=item $ua->request( $request, $content_cb )
+
+=item $ua->request( $request, $content_cb, $read_size_hint )
+
+This method will dispatch the given $request object. Normally this
+will be an instance of the C<HTTP::Request> class, but any object with
+a similar interface will do. The return value is a response object.
+See L<HTTP::Request> and L<HTTP::Response> for a description of the
+interface provided by these classes.
+
+The request() method will process redirects and authentication
+responses transparently. This means that it may actually send several
+simple requests via the simple_request() method described below.
+
+The request methods described above; get(), head(), post() and
+mirror(), will all dispatch the request they build via this method.
+They are convenience methods that simply hides the creation of the
+request object for you.
+
+The $content_file, $content_cb and $read_size_hint all correspond to
+options described with the get() method above.
+
+You are allowed to use a CODE reference as C<content> in the request
+object passed in. The C<content> function should return the content
+when called. The content can be returned in chunks. The content
+function will be invoked repeatedly until it return an empty string to
+signal that there is no more content.
+
+=item $ua->simple_request( $request )
+
+=item $ua->simple_request( $request, $content_file )
+
+=item $ua->simple_request( $request, $content_cb )
+
+=item $ua->simple_request( $request, $content_cb, $read_size_hint )
+
+This method dispatches a single request and returns the response
+received. Arguments are the same as for request() described above.
+
+The difference from request() is that simple_request() will not try to
+handle redirects or authentication responses. The request() method
+will in fact invoke this method for each simple request it sends.
+
+=item $ua->is_protocol_supported( $scheme )
+
+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 the user agent's
+C<protocols_allowed> or C<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.

+
+=head2 Callback methods
+
+The following methods will be invoked as requests are processed. These
+methods are documented here because subclasses of C<LWP::UserAgent>
+might want to override their behaviour.
+
+=over
+
+=item $ua->prepare_request( $request )
+
+This method is invoked by simple_request(). Its task is to modify the
+given $request object by setting up various headers based on the
+attributes of the user agent. The return value should normally be the
+$request object passed in. If a different request object is returned
+it will be the one actually processed.
+
+The headers affected by the base implementation are; "User-Agent",
+"From", "Range" and "Cookie".
+
+=item $ua->redirect_ok( $prospective_request, $response )
+
+This method is called by request() before it tries to follow a
+redirection to the request in $response. This should return a TRUE
+value if this redirection is permissible. The $prospective_request
+will be the request to be sent if this method returns TRUE.
+
+The base 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.
+
+=item $ua->get_basic_credentials( $realm, $uri, $isproxy )
+
+This is called by request() to retrieve credentials for documents
+protected by Basic or Digest Authentication. The arguments passed in
+is the $realm provided by the server, the $uri requested and a boolean
+flag to indicate if this is authentication against a proxy server.
+
+The method should return a username and password. It should return an
+empty list to abort the authentication resolution attempt. Subclasses
+can override this method to prompt the user for the information. An
+example of this can be found in C<lwp-request> program distributed
+with this library.
+
+The base implementation simply checks a set of pre-stored member
+variables, set up with the credentials() method.
+
+=item $ua->progress( $status, $request_or_response )
+
+This is called frequently as the response is received regardless of
+how the content is processed. The method is called with $status
+"begin" at the start of processing the request and with $state "end"
+before the request method returns. In between these $status will be
+the fraction of the response currently received or the string "tick"
+if the fraction can't be calculated.
+
+When $status is "begin" the second argument is the request object,
+otherwise it is the response object.
