Net::Jabber::Protocol(3)

NAME
Net::Jabber::Protocol - Jabber Protocol Library

SYNOPSIS
  Net::Jabber::Protocol is a module that provides a developer easy
  access to the Jabber Instant Messaging protocol.  It provides high
  level functions to the Net::Jabber Client, Component, and Server
  objects.  These functions are automatically indluded in those modules
  through AUTOLOAD and delegates.

DESCRIPTION
  Protocol.pm seeks to provide enough high level APIs and automation of
  the low level APIs that writing a Jabber Client/Transport in Perl is
  trivial.  For those that wish to work with the low level you can do
  that too, but those functions are covered in the documentation for
  each module.

  Net::Jabber::Protocol provides functions to login, send and receive
  messages, set personal information, create a new user account, manage
  the roster, and disconnect.  You can use all or none of the functions,
  there is no requirement.

  For more information on how the details for how Net::Jabber is written
  please see the help for Net::Jabber itself.

  For more information on writing a Client see Net::Jabber::Client.

  For more information on writing a Transport see Net::Jabber::Transport.

  Modes
  Several of the functions take a mode argument that let you specify how
  the function should behave:

    block - send the packet with an ID, and then block until an answer
            comes back.  You can optionally specify a timeout so that
            you do not block forever.

    nonblock - send the packet with an ID, but then return that id and
               control to the master program.  Net::Jabber is still
               tracking this packet, so you must use the CheckID function
               to tell when it comes in.  (This might not be very
               useful...)

    passthru - send the packet with an ID, but do NOT register it with
               Net::Jabber, then return the ID.  This is useful when
               combined with the XPath function because you can register
               a one shot function tied to the id you get back.

  Basic Functions
    use Net::Jabber qw( Client );
    $Con = new Net::Jabber::Client();                # From
    $status = $Con->Connect(hostname=>"jabber.org"); # Net::Jabber::Client

      or

    use Net::Jabber qw( Component );
    $Con = new Net::Jabber::Component();             #
    $status = $Con->Connect(hostname=>"jabber.org",  # From
                            secret=>"bob");          # Net::Jabber::Component

    #
    # For callback setup, see Net::XMPP::Protocol

                                             10);
    $receiveObj = $Con->SendAndReceiveWithID("<tag>XML</tag>");
    $receiveObj = $Con->SendAndReceiveWithID("<tag>XML</tag>",
                                             5);

METHODS

  Basic Functions
    Info(name=>string,    - Set some information so that Net::Jabber
         version=>string)   can auto-reply to some packets for you to
                            reduce the work you have to do.

                            NOTE: This requires that you use the
                            SetIQCallBacks methodology and not the
                            SetCallBacks for <iq/> packets.

    AgentsGet(to=>string, - takes all of the information and
    AgentsGet()             builds a Net::Jabber::IQ::Agents packet.
                            It then sends that packet either to the
                            server, or to the specified transport,
                            with an ID and waits for that ID to return.
                            Then it looks in the resulting packet and
                            builds a hash that contains the values
                            of the agent list.  The hash is layed out
                            like this:  (NOTE: the jid is the key to
                            distinguish the various agents)

                              $hash{<JID>}->{order} = 4
                                          ->{name} = "ICQ Transport"

                                        etc...

                            The order field determines the order that
                            it came from the server in... in case you
                            care.  For more info on the valid fields

                                   which it sends in a Net::Jabber::Query
                                   jabber:iq:register namespace packet.
                                   The first argument is the JID to send
                                   the packet to.  This function returns
                                   an array that looks like this:

                                     [ type , message ]

                                   If type is "ok" then registration was
                                   successful, otherwise message contains
                                   a little more detail about the error.

  RPC Functions
    RPCParse(IQ object) - returns an array.  The first argument tells
                          the status "ok" or "fault".  The second
                          argument is an array if "ok", or a hash if
                          "fault".

    RPCCall(to=>jid|string,     - takes the methodName and params,
            methodName=>string,   builds the RPC calls and sends it
            params=>array,        to the specified address.  Returns
            mode=>string,         the above data from RPCParse.
            timeout=>int)
                                  See MODES above for using the mode
                                  and timeout.

    RPCResponse(to=>jid|string,      - generates a response back to
                params=>array,         the caller.  If any part of
                faultCode=>int,        fault is specified, then it
                faultString=>string)   wins.

    Note: To ensure that you get the correct type for a param sent
          back, you can specify the type by prepending the type to
          the value:

            "i4:5" or "int:5"
            "boolean:0"
            "string:56"
            "double:5.0"
            "datetime:20020415T11:11:11"
            "base64:...."

    RPCSetCallBacks(method=>function, - sets the callback functions
                    method=>function,   for the specified methods.
                    etc...)             The method comes from the
                                        <methodName/> and is case
                                        sensitive.  The single
                                        arguemnt is a ref to an
                                        array that contains the
                                        <params/>.  The function you
                                        write should return one of two
                                        things:

                                          ["ok", [...] ]

                                        The [...] is a list of the
                                        <params/> you want to return.

                                          ["fault", {faultCode=>1,
                                                     faultString=>...} ]

                                        If you set the function to undef,
                                        then the method is removed from
                                        the list.

  Search Functions
    SearchRequest(to=>string,  - send an <iq/> request to the specified
                  mode=>string,  server/transport, if not specified it
                  timeout=>int)  sends to the current active server.
    SearchRequest()              The function returns a hash that
                                 contains the required fields.   Here
                                 is an example of the hash:

                                 $hash{fields}    - The raw fields from
                                                    the iq:register.  To
                                                    be used if there is
                                                    no x:data in the
                                                    packet.
                                 $hash{instructions} - How to fill out
                                                       the form.
                                 $hash{form}   - The new dynamic forms.

                                 In $hash{form}, the fields that are
                                 present are the required fields the
                                 server needs.

                                 See MODES above for using the mode
                                 and timeout.

    SearchSend(to=>string|JID, - takes the contents of the hash and
               hash)             passes it to the SetSearch function
                                 in the Net::Jabber::Query
                                 jabber:iq:search namespace.  And then
                                 sends the packet.

    SearchSendData(string|JID, - takes the contents of the hash and
                   hash)         builds a jabebr:x:data return packet
                                 which it sends in a Net::Jabber::Query
                                 jabber:iq:search namespace packet.
                                 The first argument is the JID to send
                                 the packet to.

  Time Functions
    TimeQuery(to=>string,     - asks the jid specified for its localtime.
              mode=>string,     If the to is blank, then it queries the
              timeout=>int)     server.  Returns a hash with the various
    TimeQuery()                 items set if mode is set to "block":

                                  $time{utc}     - Time in UTC
                                  $time{tz}      - Timezone
                                  $time{display} - Display string

                                See MODES above for using the mode
                                and timeout.

    TimeSend(to=>string) - sends the current UTC time to the specified
                           jid.

  Version Functions
    VersionQuery(to=>string,     - asks the jid specified for its
                 mode=>string,     client version information.  If the
                 timeout=>int)     to is blank, then it queries the
    VersionQuery()                 server.  Returns ahash with the
                                   various items set if mode is set to
                                   "block":

                                     $version{name} - Name
                                     $version{ver}  - Version
                                     $version{os}   - Operating System/
                                                        Platform

                                  See MODES above for using the mode
                                  and timeout.

    VersionSend(to=>string,   - sends the specified version information
                name=>string,   to the jid specified in the to.
                ver=>string,
                os=>string)
