=head1 NAME
HTML::HeadParser - Parse <HEAD> section of a HTML document
=head1 SYNOPSIS
require HTML::HeadParser;
$p = HTML::HeadParser->new;
$p->parse($text) and print "not finished";
$p->header('Title') # to access <title>....</title>
$p->header('Content-Base') # to access <base href="http://...">
$p->header('Foo') # to access <meta http-equiv="Foo" content="...">
$p->header('X-Meta-Author') # to access <meta name="author" content="...">
$p->header('X-Meta-Charset') # to access <meta charset="...">
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<HTML::HeadParser> is a specialized (and lightweight)
C<HTML::Parser> that will only parse the E<lt>HEAD>...E<lt>/HEAD>
section of an HTML document. The parse() method
will return a FALSE value as soon as some E<lt>BODY> element or body
text are found, and should not be called again after this.
Note that the C<HTML::HeadParser> might get confused if raw undecoded
UTF-8 is passed to the parse() method. Make sure the strings are
properly decoded before passing them on.
The C<HTML::HeadParser> keeps a reference to a header object, and the
parser will update this header object as the various elements of the
E<lt>HEAD> section of the HTML document are recognized. The following
header fields are affected:
=over 4
=item Content-Base:
The I<Content-Base> header is initialized from the E<lt>base
href="..."> element.
=item Title:
The I<Title> header is initialized from the E<lt>title>...E<lt>/title>
element.
=item Isindex:
The I<Isindex> header will be added if there is a E<lt>isindex>
element in the E<lt>head>. The header value is initialized from the
I<prompt> attribute if it is present. If no I<prompt> attribute is
given it will have '?' as the value.
=item X-Meta-Foo:
All E<lt>meta> elements containing a C<name> attribute will result in
headers using the prefix C<X-Meta-> appended with the value of the
C<name> attribute as the name of the header, and the value of the
C<content> attribute as the pushed header value.
E<lt>meta> elements containing a C<http-equiv> attribute will result
in headers as in above, but without the C<X-Meta-> prefix in the
header name.
E<lt>meta> elements containing a C<charset> attribute will result in
an C<X-Meta-Charset> header, using the value of the C<charset>
attribute as the pushed header value.
The ':' character can't be represented in header field names, so
if the meta element contains this char it's substituted with '-'
before forming the field name.

=head1 METHODS
The following methods (in addition to those provided by the
superclass) are available:

use vars qw($VERSION $DEBUG);
#$DEBUG = 1;
$VERSION = "3.71";
=item $hp = HTML::HeadParser->new
=item $hp = HTML::HeadParser->new( $header )
The object constructor. The optional $header argument should be a
reference to an object that implement the header() and push_header()
methods as defined by the C<HTTP::Headers> class. Normally it will be
of some class that is a or delegates to the C<HTTP::Headers> class.
If no $header is given C<HTML::HeadParser> will create an
C<HTTP::Headers> object by itself (initially empty).

$self->{'tag'} = ''; # name of active element that takes textual content
$self->{'text'} = ''; # the accumulated text associated with the element
$self;
}
=item $hp->header;
Returns a reference to the header object.
=item $hp->header( $key )
Returns a header value. It is just a shorter way to write
C<$hp-E<gt>header-E<gt>header($key)>.

The C<HTTP::Headers> class is distributed as part of the
I<libwww-perl> package. If you don't have that distribution installed
you need to provide the $header argument to the C<HTML::HeadParser>
constructor with your own object that implements the documented
protocol.
