NAME

Net::DAVTalk - Interface to talk to DAV servers

VERSION

Version 0.14

SYNOPSIS

Net::DAVTalk is was originally designed as a service module for Net::CalDAVTalk and Net::DAVTalk, abstracting the process of connecting to a DAV server and parsing the XML responses.

Example:

    use Net::DAVTalk;
    use XML::Spice;

    my $davtalk = Net::DAVTalk->new(
        url => "https://dav.example.com/",
        user => "foo\@example.com",
        password => "letmein",
    );

    $davtalk->Request(
        'MKCALENDAR',
        "$calendarId/",
        x('C:mkcalendar', $Self->NS(),
            x('D:set',
                 x('D:prop', @Properties),
            ),
        ),
    );

    $davtalk->Request(
        'DELETE',
        "$calendarId/",
    );

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

$class->new(%Options)

Options:

    url: either full https?:// url, or relative base path on the
    server to the DAV endpoint

    host, scheme and port: alternative to using full URL.
    If URL doesn't start with https?:// then these will be used to
    construct the endpoint URI.

    expandurl and wellknown: if these are set, then the wellknown
    name (caldav and carddav are both defined) will be used to
    resolve /.well-known/$wellknown to find the current-user-principal
    URI, and then THAT will be resovlved to find the $wellknown-home-set
    URI, which will be used as the URL for all further actions on
    this object.

    user and password: if these are set, perform basic authentication.
    user and access_token: if these are set, perform Bearer (OAUTH2)
    authentication.

$Self->SetURL($url)

Change the endpoint URL for an existing connection.

$Self->SetPrincipalURL($url)

Set the URL to the DAV Principal

$Self->fullpath($shortpath)

Convert from a relative path to a full path:

e.g my $path = $Dav->fullpath('Default'); ## /dav/calendars/user/foo/Default

NOTE: a you can pass a non-relative full path (leading /) to this function and it will be returned unchanged.

$Self->shortpath($fullpath)

Convert from a full path to a relative path

e.g my $path = $Dav->fullpath('/dav/calendars/user/foo/Default'); ## Default

NOTE: if the full path is outside the basepath of the object, it will be unchanged.

    my $path = $Dav->fullpath('/dav/calendars/user/bar/Default');
    ## /dav/calendars/user/bar/Default

$Self->Request($method, $path, $content, %headers)

The whole point of the module! Perform a DAV request against the endpoint, returning the response as a parsed hash.

   method: http method, i.e. GET, PROPFIND, MKCOL, DELETE, etc

   path: relative to base url.  With a leading slash, relative to
         server root, i.e. "Default/", "/dav/calendars/user/foo/Default".

   content: if the method takes a body, raw bytes to send

   headers: additional headers to add to request, i.e (Depth => 1)

$Self->GetProps($Path, @Props)

perform a propfind on a particular path and get the properties back

$Self->GetCurrentUserPrincipal() =head2 $class->GetCurrentUserPrincipal(%Args)

Can be called with the same args as new() as a class method, or on an existing object. Either way it will use the .well-known URI to find the path to the current-user-principal.

Returns a string with the path.

$Self->GetHomeSet =head2 $class->GetHomeSet(%Args)

Can be called with the same args as new() as a class method, or on an existing object. Either way it assumes that the created object has a 'url' parameter pointing at the current user principal URL (see GetCurrentUserPrincipal above)

Returns a string with the path to the home set.

$Self->genuuid()

Helper to generate a uuid string. Returns a UUID, e.g.

    my $uuid = $DAVTalk->genuuid(); # 9b9d68af-ad13-46b8-b7ab-30ab70da14ac

$Self->auth_header()

Generate the authentication header to use on requests:

e.g:

    $Headers{'Authorization'} = $Self->auth_header();

$Self->request_url()

Generate the authentication header to use on requests:

e.g:

    $Headers{'Authorization'} = $Self->auth_header();

$Self->NS()

Returns a hashref of the 'xmlns:shortname' => 'full namespace' items for use in XML::Spice body generation, e.g.

    $DAVTalk->Request(
        'MKCALENDAR',
        "$calendarId/",
        x('C:mkcalendar', $Self->NS(),
            x('D:set',
                 x('D:prop', @Properties),
            ),
        ),
    );

    # { 'xmlns:C' => 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav', 'xmlns:D' => 'DAV:' }

$Self->ns($key, $value)

Get or set namespace aliases, e.g

  $Self->ns(C => 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav');
  my $NS_C = $Self->ns('C'); # urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav
