=head1 SYNOPSIS


=for example begin

  use APR::Request::Param;

  $arg1 = $req->args('alpha');
  $body = $req->body;
  $body->param_class("APR::Request::Param");
  ok $_->isa("APR::Request::Param") for values %$body;

  @uploads = grep {$_->upload} values %$body;
  $param = $body->get('beta');
  $param->upload_slurp(my $content);


=for example end

=for example_testing
  is $arg1, "arg1", 'alpha arg is "arg1"';
  ok @uploads == 1;
  is $content, "second", 'contents of upload_slurp'; 



=head1 DESCRIPTION

The C<< APR::Request::Param >> module provides base methods
for interfacing with libapreq2's param API.  It also provides
a few utility functions and constants.

This manpage documents version 2.10
of the APR::Request::Param, APR::Request::Brigade,
and APR::Request::Brigade::IO packages.


=head1 OVERLOADS

APR::Request::Param




=head2 ""

    "$param"

The double-quote interpolation operator maps to
C<< APR::Request::Param::value() >>.

=for example begin

=for example end

=for example_testing
    is "$param", $param->value, "quotes";




=head1 METHODS

APR::Request::Param




=head2 name

    $param->name()

Returns the param's name.
This attribute cannot be modified.

=for example begin

=for example end

=for example_testing
    is $param->name, "beta", "name";




=head2 value

    $param->value()

Returns the param's value.
This attribute cannot be modified.

=for example begin

=for example end

=for example_testing
    is $param->value, "foo.txt", "value";




=head2 is_tainted

    $param->is_tainted()
    $param->is_tainted($set)


Get/set the param's internal tainted flag.
Note: if the param's charset is APREQ_CHARSET_UTF8 (8),
this also activates the SvUTF8_on flag during calls
to name() and/or value().

=for example begin

    $tainted = $param->is_tainted;
    $param->is_tainted(0);
    ok $param->is_tainted == 0;

=for example end

=for example_testing
    $param->is_tainted($tainted);
    is $param->is_tainted, $tainted, "tainted";




=head2 charset

    $param->charset()
    $param->charset($set)

Get/set the param's internal charset.  The charset
is a number between 0 and 255; the current recognized
values are

=over 4

=item 0 APREQ_CHARSET_ASCII    (7-bit us-ascii)

=item 1 APREQ_CHARSET_LATIN1   (8-bit iso-8859-1)

=item 2 APREQ_CHARSET_CP1252   (8-bit Windows-1252)

=item 8 APREQ_CHARSET_UTF8     (utf8 encoded Unicode)

=back

See L<is_tainted> above for info about how APREQ_CHARSET_UTF8
relates to perl's UTF-8 flag.

=for example begin

    $charset = $param->charset;
    $param->charset(2);
    ok $param->charset == 2;

=for example end

=for example_testing
    $param->charset($charset);
    is $param->charset, $charset, "charset";




=head2 make

    APR::Request::Param->make($pool, $name, $value)

Fast XS param constructor.




=head2 info

    $param->info()
    $param->info($set)

Get/set the APR::Table headers for this param.




=head2 upload

    $param->upload()
    $param->upload($set)

Get/set the APR::Brigade file-upload content for this param.




=head2 upload_filename

    $param->upload_filename()

Returns the client-side filename associated with this param.




=head2 upload_link

    $param->upload_link($path)

Links the file-upload content with the local file named C<< $path >>.
Creates a hard-link if the spoolfile's (see L<upload_tempname>)
temporary directory is on the same device as C<< $path >>;
otherwise this writes a copy.




=head2 upload_slurp

    $param->upload_slurp($data)

Reads the entire file-upload content into C<< $data >>.




=head2 upload_size

    $param->upload_size()

Returns the size of the param's file-upload content.




=head2 upload_type

    $param->upload_type()

Returns the MIME-type of the param's file-upload content.




=head2 upload_tempname

    $param->upload_tempname()

Returns the name of the local spoolfile for this param.




=head2 upload_io

    $param->upload_io()

Returns an L<APR::Request::Brigade::IO> object, which can
be treated as a non-seekable IO stream.




=head2 upload_fh


    $param->upload_fh()

Returns a seekable filehandle representing the file-upload content.




=head1 METHODS

APR::Request::Brigade

This class is derived from APR::Brigade, providing additional
methods for TIEHANDLE, READ and READLINE.  To be memory efficient,
these methods delete buckets from the brigade as soon as their
data is actually read, so you cannot C<seek> on handles tied to
this class.  Such handles have semantics similar to that of a
read-only socket.




=head2 new, TIEHANDLE

    APR::Request::Brigade->TIEHANDLE($bb)

Creates a copy of the bucket brigade represented by $bb, and
blesses that copy into the APR::Request::Brigade class.  This
provides syntactic sugar for using perl's builtin C<read>, C<readline>,
and C<< <> >> operations on handles tied to this package:

=for example begin

    use Symbol;
    $fh = gensym;
    tie *$fh, "APR::Request::Brigade", $bb;
    print while <$fh>;

=for example end



=head2 READ

    $bb->READ($contents)
    $bb->READ($contents, $length)
    $bb->READ($contents, $length, $offset)

Reads data from the brigade $bb into $contents.  When omitted
$length defaults to C<-1>, which reads the first bucket into $contents.
A positive $length will read in $length bytes, or the remainder of the
brigade, whichever is greater. $offset represents the index in $context
to read the new data.




=head2 READLINE

    $bb->READLINE()

Returns the first line of data from the bride. Lines are terminated by
linefeeds (the '\012' character), but we may eventually use C<$/> instead.



=head1 METHODS

APR::Request::Brigade::IO




=head2 read

OO interface to APR::Request::Brigade::READ.




=head2 readline


OO interface to APR::Request::Brigade::READLINE.
