=head1 NAME
Apache::*::Table - Table classes for Apache::Request, Apache::Upload, and Apache::Cookie.
=for testing
use Apache2;
use Apache::Upload;
use Apache::Cookie;
use APR::Pool;
use APR::Table;
$r = APR::Pool->new; # environment object
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=for example begin
my $table = Apache::Request::Table->new($r);
$table->{test} = 1;
$table->{foo} = "bar1";
$table->add(foo => "bar2");
{
my $do_data = "";
$table->do( sub { $do_data .= "@_,"; 1 } );
ok $do_data eq "test 1,foo bar1,foo bar2,";
}
=for example end
=for example_testing
#run the above tests, don't just compile them
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This manpage documents the Apache::*::Table classes provided by the
Apache::Request, Apache::Upload, and Apache::Cookie modules. Table
classes are all derived from APR::Table, however since the underlying
values they contain are not simple character arrays, the C<merge>, C<compress>,
and C<overlap> methods from APR::Table are not implemented.
=head1 Apache::Request::Table
These tables arise as parameter tables generated by the C<args>, C<body>, and
C<param> methods of Apache::Request. Their values are representable
by orinary perl scalars, but unlike APR::Table, the '\0' character may
be safely embedded in a value without truncating it.
=for example begin
my $table = Apache::Request::Table->new($r);
my $value = "bar\0quux";
$table->{foo} = $value;
=for example end
=for example_testing
is $table->{foo}, $value;
=head1 Apache::Upload::Table
These tables arise from the C<Apache::Request::upload> method (which is
provided by Apache::Upload). Their values are Apache::Upload objects.
=for example begin
my $upload = Apache::Upload->new($r, name => "foo", file => __FILE__);
my $table = Apache::Upload::Table->new($r);
$table->add($upload);
$upload = $table->{foo};
=for example end
=for example_testing
ok $upload->isa("Apache::Upload");
=head1 Apache::Cookie::Table
These tables arise from the C<cookies> method of Apache::Cookie::Jar, and
their values are Apache::Cookie objects (or Apache::Cookie derived objects-
see the discussion of C<VALUE_CLASS> in L<Apache::Cookie>).
=for example begin
my $cookie = Apache::Cookie->new($r, name =>"foo", value => "bar");
my $table = Apache::Cookie::Table->new($r);
$table->{foo} = $cookie;
$cookie = $table->{foo};
=for example end
ok $cookie->isa("Apache::Cookie");
