=head1 NAME

Net::SIP::Request - handling of SIP request packets

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $req = Net::SIP::Request->new( 'INVITE',... );
  my $ack = $req->create_ack();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Subclass of L<Net::SIP::Packet> for handling request packets.
Has methods to create responses to requests and to authorize requests.

=head1 EXAMPLES

  # create INVITE request
  my $invite = Net::SIP::Request->new(
	'INVITE', 'sip:you@example.com',
	{ from => ..., to => ... },
	Net::SIP::SDP->new( ... )
  );

  # somehow send request and retrieve response $resp
  ...
  if ( $resp->code eq '401' or $resp->code eq '407' ) {
	# need to authorize request
	$invite->authorize( $resp, [ username, password ] );

	# somehow send again and retrieve response $resp
	...
  }

  if ( $resp->code ~m{^[2345]\d\d} ) {
	# got final response, send ACK
	my $ack = $invite->create_ack( $resp );

	# somehow send $ack
	...
  }

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

Inherited from L<Net::SIP::Packet>. See there.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item method

Get method of request.

=item uri

Get URI part of request.

=item set_uri ( STRING )

Set URI of request to STRING

=item set_cseq ( NUMBER )

Set sequence number if C<CSeq> header to NUMBER.

=item create_ack ( RESPONSE )

Returns Net::SIP::Request object for ACK request for the case
when L<Net::SIP::Response> RESPONSE was received in reply for packet C<$self>.

=item create_cancel

Returns Net::SIP::Request object to cancel request in C<$self>.

=item create_response ( CODE, [MSG,] [ \%HEADER, BODY ] )

Returns Net::SIP::Response packet for the received request C<$self> with
numerical code CODE and text message MSG. Header for the response will
be based on the request, but can be added or overridden using \%HEADER.
If MSG is not given (e.g. argument is missing, second argument is \%HEADER
already) a builtin message for the code will be used.

For details to \%HEADER and BODY see B<new_from_parts> in L<Net::SIP::Packet>.

=item authorize ( RESPONSE, AUTH )

Tries to authorize request C<$self> based on the information in RESPONSE
(a 401 or 407 "Authorization required" response) and AUTH. AUTH is either
C<< [ user,pass ] >> if a global authorization info exists for all realms or
C<< { realm1 => [ user1,pass1 ], realm2 => [ user2,pass2 ],... } >> if
different credentials are provided for different realms or a callback
C<< callback(realm)->[user,pass] >>.
The realms, for which authorization is needed, are read from RESPONSE.

The request C<$self> is modified in-place. If a modification occurred, e.g.
if (parts of) the authorization requests could be resolved it will return
TRUE, else FALSE.

Supports only RFC2617 with md5 and empty qop or qop 'auth', not md5-sess
or qop's like 'auth-int'.
