HTTP::Webdav - Perl interface to Neon HTTP and WebDAV client library

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use HTTP::Webdav ;

  $sess = HTTP::Webdav -> new ;
  $sess -> server ("www.ecos.de", 80) ;
  $sess -> get ("/", STDOUT) ;

  $sess -> put ("/dav/foo.htm", STDIN) ;

  # remove property 'test3'
  # set value of property 'test' to 'bar'
  @props = (
    { name => {nspace => 'DAV:', name => 'test3'}, type => 1},

=head1 DESCRIPTION


This is the Perl interface to the neon HTTP and WebDAV client library.
Most of the documentation is automaticly generated from the C header
files of neon. So it looks a little bit C-ish, but is better than
nothing. See also the examples in the B<eg> directory. 
If you not sure how it works consult the neon include files.

This document describes the function that are availabe. HTTP::Webdav::Constants
includes the constants defined by neon.

The neon API is encapsultated in a number of Perl classes. Everything that 
doesn't fit in a class has gone to HTTP::Webdav::Util. (Maybe some of these
function will move to other classes in the future)

The clases are

=over 4

=item HTTP::Webdav

Main class which holds a http session

=item HTTP::Webdav::MultiStatus

Class to handle 207 responses

=item HTTP::Webdav::Hip

Interface to XML parser for properties

=item HTTP::Webdav::Lock

Holds a lock

=item HTTP::Webdav::LockSession

Holds a lock session

=item HTTP::Webdav::Propfind

Class to access the result of a PROPFIND

=item HTTP::Webdav::Propset

Class to acess properties of one resource

=item HTTP::Webdav::Request

Low level interface to http request

=item HTTP::Webdav::MD5

MD5 checksum

=item HTTP::Webdav::SSL

SSL support

=item HTTP::Webdav::Socket

Low level socket access

=back


WARNING: This wrapper is alpha code, while neon is around for some time and
stable to use, not all of the interface functions provided by this Perl module
has been tested extensivly, but most of them should work without problems (At least
they do it for me :-).


See in the eg directory for some examples.


=head1 CALLBACKS

Neon uses a lot off callbacks. Basicly there is no difference between using callbacks
in Perl and C. The only thing that is different, is that the functions that sets the
callbacks doesn't take the C<userdata> argument, which is used in C to pass a pointer
to the callback. Instead, the callback get the reference to the object that sets
the callback, pass as the userdata argument. This object is a hashreference and you
are free to store data in that hash. The only restriction is, that key starting
with two underscores ('__') are reserved for HTTP::Webdav internal use. Example:


  sub datehdr

    {
    my ($userdata, $value) = @_ ;
    $userdata -> {date} = $value ;
    } 

  $sess = HTTP::Webdav -> new ;
  $sess -> server ("www.ecos.de", 80) ;
  $request = $sess -> request_create ("HEAD", "/") ;
  # install callback which gets only Date header
  $request -> add_response_header_handler ('Date', \&datehdr) ;
  $request -> begin_request ;
  $request -> end_request ;
  
  print "Date: $request->{date}\n" ;

=head1 C-DATASTRUCTURS

The C-structures that neon uses are always mapped 1:1 into a Perl hash. The members
of the Perl hash are shown in the argument list of the function between { and }
The function argument lists, also list the C datatype to which it map, so you can
checkout the neon docs and include files for more informations.

'confirm' callback is called: if this returns zero, the redirect
is ignored.

'confirm' may be passed as NULL: in this case, only automatic
redirects are followed.  'notify' may also be passed as NULL,
automatic redirects are still followed.

secure_context: When set, specifies the settings to use for secure

the context object must be >= to the lifetime of the session

secure: When set, use a secure (SSL/TLS) connection to the origin
server. This will tunnel (using CONNECT) through the proxy server
if one is being used.

NB: ne_set_scure will return -1 if SSL is not supported by the
library (i.e., it was not built against OpenSSL), or 0 if it is.

note that the callback is called as the response is read off the

any functions which use this session).

Note that if 'depth' is NE_DEPTH_INFINITY, some servers may refuse
the request.

ne_props_create_complex

A "complex property" has a value which is structured XML. To handle
complex properties, you must set up and register an XML handler
which will understand the elements which make up such properties.
The handler must be registered with the parser returned by
'ne_propfind_get_parser'.

To store the parsed value of the property, a 'private' structure is
allocated in each propset (i.e. one per resource). When parsing the
property value elements, for each new resource encountered in the
response, the 'creator' callback is called to retrieve a 'private'
structure for this resource.

Whilst in XML element callbacks you will have registered to handle
complex properties, you can use the 'ne_propfind_current_private'
call to retrieve the pointer to this private structure.

To retrieve this 'private' structure from the propset in the
results callback, simply call 'ne_propset_private'.

Returns non-zero if the parse was valid, zero if it failed (e.g.,
any of the callbacks return non-zero, the XML was not well-formed,
etc).  Use ne_xml_get_error to retrieve the error message if it
failed.
