=head1 NAME

HTTP::Parser - parse HTTP/1.1 request into HTTP::Request/Response object

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 my $parser = HTTP::Parser->new();

 ...

 my $status = $parser->add($text);

 if(0 == $status) {
   print "request: ".$parser->request()->as_string();  # HTTP::Request
 } elsif(-3 == $status) {
   print "no content length header!\n";
 } elsif(-2 == $status) {
   print "need a line of data\n";
 } elsif(-1 == $status) {
   print "need more data\n";
 } else {  # $status > 0
   print "need $status byte(s)\n";
 }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is an HTTP request parser.  It takes chunks of text as received and
returns a 'hint' as to what is required, or returns the HTTP::Request when
a complete request has been read.  HTTP/1.1 chunking is supported.  It dies
if it finds an error.

=head2 new ( named params... )

Create a new HTTP::Parser object.  Takes named parameters, e.g.:

 my $parser = HTTP::Parser->new(request => 1);

=over 4

=item request

Allows or denies parsing an HTTP request and returning an C
object.

=item response

Allows or denies parsing an HTTP response and returning an C
object.

=back

If you pass neither C nor C, only requests are parsed (for
backwards compatibility); if you pass either, the other defaults to false
(disallowing both requests and responses is a fatal error).

=cut
sub new {
  my ($class, %p) = @_;
  $p{request} = 1 unless exists $p{response} or exists $p{request};
  die 'must allow request or response to be parsed'
   unless $p{request} or $p{response};
  @p{qw(state data)} = ('blank', '');
  my $self = bless \%p, ref $class || $class;
  return $self;
}


=head2 add ( string )

Parse request.  Returns:

=over 8

=item  0

if finished (call C to get an HTTP::Request or Response object)

=item -1

if not finished but not sure how many bytes remain

=item -2

if waiting for a line (like 0 with a hint)

=item -3

if there was no content-length header, so we can't tell whether we are
waiting for more data or not.

If you are reading from a TCP stream, you can keep adding data until
the connection closes gracefully (the HTTP RFC allows this).

If you are reading from a file, you should keep adding until you have
all the data.

Once you have added all data, you may call C.  if you are not
sure whether you have all the data, the HTTP::Response object might be
incomplete.

=item count

if waiting for that many bytes

=back

Dies on error.

This method of parsing makes it easier to parse a request from an event-based
system, on the other hand, it's quite alright to pass in the whole request.
Ideally, the first chunk passed in is the header (up to the double newline),
then whatever byte counts are requested.

When a request object is returned, the X-HTTP-Version header has the HTTP
version, the uri() method will always return a URI object, not a string.

Note that a nonzero return is just a hint, and any amount of data can be
passed in to a subsequent add() call.

=head2 data

Returns current data not parsed.  Mainly useful after a request has been
parsed.  The data is not removed from the object's buffer, and will be
seen before the data next passed to add().

Returns the count of extra bytes (length of data()) after a request.

Returns the object request.  Only useful after the parse has completed.
