DESCRIPTION

POE::Component::Metabase::Client::Submit provides a POE mechanism for submitting facts to a Metabase web server.

CONSTRUCTOR

submit

  POE::Component::Metabase::Client::Submit->spawn( %args );

Constructs a POE session that will manage submitting a Metabase fact to a Metabase web server.

Takes a number of mandatory arguments:

 'profile', a Metabase::User::Profile object
 'secret', a Metabase::User::Secret object
 'fact', a Metabase::Fact object
 'event', an event handler in the calling session to invoke on completion
 'uri', the uri of a Metabase server to submit to.

And some optional arguments:

 'session', a session alias, reference or ID to send 'event' to instead of the calling session
 'http_alias', the alias or ID of an existing POE::Component::Client::HTTP session to use.
 'context', anything that can be stored in a scalar that is meaningful to you.
 'resolver', a reference to a POE::Component::Resolver object to use (ignored if http_alias is used).

OUTPUT EVENT

An event will be sent to either the calling session or the session specified with session during submit.

ARG0 of the event will be a hashref with the following keys:

success

Indicates that the submission was successful.

error

If there was an error this will contain a string indicating the error that occurred.

context

If you specified context in submit, whatever you passed will be here.

<content>

This will contain the content of any HTTP responses whether success or failure.
