HTTP::Body(3)	      User Contributed Perl Documentation	 HTTP::Body(3)

NAME
       HTTP::Body - HTTP Body Parser

SYNOPSIS
	   use HTTP::Body;

	   sub handler : method {
	       my ( $class, $r ) = @_;

	       my $content_type	  = $r->headers_in->get('Content-Type');
	       my $content_length = $r->headers_in->get('Content-Length');

	       my $body	  = HTTP::Body->new( $content_type, $content_length );
	       my $length = $content_length;

	       while ( $length ) {

		   $r->read( my $buffer, ( $length < 8192 ) ? $length : 8192 );

		   $length -= length($buffer);

		   $body->add($buffer);
	       }

	       my $uploads     = $body->upload;	    # hashref
	       my $params      = $body->param;	    # hashref
	       my $param_order = $body->param_order # arrayref
	       my $body	       = $body->body;	    # IO::Handle
	   }

DESCRIPTION
       HTTP::Body parses chunks of HTTP POST data and supports
       application/octet-stream, application/json,
       application/x-www-form-urlencoded, and multipart/form-data.

       Chunked bodies are supported by not passing a length value to new().

       It is currently used by Catalyst to parse POST bodies.

NOTES
       When parsing multipart bodies, temporary files are created to store any
       uploaded files.	You must delete these temporary files yourself after
       processing them, or set $body->cleanup(1) to automatically delete them
       at DESTROY-time.

METHODS
       new Constructor. Takes content type and content length as parameters,
	   returns a HTTP::Body object.

       add Add string to internal buffer. Will call spin unless done. returns
	   length before adding self.

       body
	   accessor for the body.

       chunked
	   Returns 1 if the request is chunked.

       cleanup
	   Set to 1 to enable automatic deletion of temporary files at
	   DESTROY-time.

       content_length
	   Returns the content-length for the body data if known.  Returns -1
	   if the request is chunked.

       content_type
	   Returns the content-type of the body data.

       init
	   return self.

       length
	   Returns the total length of data we expect to read if known.	 In
	   the case of a chunked request, returns the amount of data read so
	   far.

       trailing_headers
	   If a chunked request body had trailing headers, trailing_headers
	   will return an HTTP::Headers object populated with those headers.

       spin
	   Abstract method to spin the io handle.

       state
	   Returns the current state of the parser.

       param
	   Get/set body parameters.

       upload
	   Get/set file uploads.

       tmpdir
	   Specify a different path for temporary files.  Defaults to the
	   system temporary path.

       param_order
	   Returns the array ref of the param keys in the order how they
	   appeared on the body
