NAME

Net::XMPP::Protocol - XMPP Protocol Module

SYNOPSIS

   Net::XMPP::Protocol is a module that provides a developer easy
   access to the XMPP Instant Messaging protocol.  It provides high
   level functions to the Net::XMPP Client object.  These functions are
   inherited by that modules.
 
 

DESCRIPTION

   Protocol.pm seeks to provide enough high level APIs and automation of
   the low level APIs that writing a XMPP Client 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::XMPP::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::XMPP is written
   please see the help for Net::XMPP itself.
 
   For more information on writing a Client see Net::XMPP::Client.
 
 

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::XMPP 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::XMPP, 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.

METHODS

Basic Functions

     GetErrorCode() - returns a string that will hopefully contain some
                      useful information about why a function returned
                      an undef to you.
 
     SetErrorCode(string) - set a useful error message before you return
                            an undef to the caller.
 
     SetCallBacks(message=>function,  - sets the callback functions for
                  presence=>function,   the top level tags listed.  The
                  iq=>function,         available tags to look for are
                  send=>function,       <message/>, <presence/>, and
                  receive=>function,    <iq/>.  If a packet is received
                  update=>function)     with an ID which is found in the
                                        registerd ID list (see RegisterID
                                        below) then it is not sent to
                                        these functions, instead it
                                        is inserted into a LIST and can
                                        be retrieved by some functions
                                        we will mention later.
 
                                        send and receive are used to
                                        log what XML is sent and received.
                                        update is used as way to update
                                        your program while waiting for
                                        a packet with an ID to be
                                        returned (useful for GUI apps).
 
                                        A major change that came with
                                        the last release is that the
                                        session id is passed to the
                                        callback as the first argument.
                                        This was done to facilitate
                                        the Server module.
 
                                        The next argument depends on
                                        which callback you are talking
                                        about.  message, presence, and iq
                                        all get passed in Net::XMPP
                                        objects that match those types.
                                        send and receive get passed in
                                        strings.  update gets passed
                                        nothing, not even the session id.
 
                                        If you set the function to undef,
                                        then the callback is removed from
                                        the list.
 
     SetPresenceCallBacks(type=>function - sets the callback functions for
                          etc...)          the specified presence type.
                                           The function takes types as the
                                           main key, and lets you specify
                                           a function for each type of
                                           packet you can get.
                                             "available"
                                             "unavailable"
                                             "subscribe"
                                             "unsubscribe"
                                             "subscribed"
                                             "unsubscribed"
                                             "probe"
                                             "error"
                                           When it gets a <presence/>
                                           packet it checks the type=''
                                           for a defined callback.  If
                                           there is one then it calls the
                                           function with two arguments:
                                             the session ID, and the
                                             Net::XMPP::Presence object.
 
                                           If you set the function to
                                           undef, then the callback is
                                           removed from the list.
 
                         NOTE: If you use this, which is a cleaner method,
                               then you must *NOT* specify a callback for
                               presence in the SetCallBacks function.
 
                                           Net::XMPP defines a few default
                                           callbacks for various types:
 
                                           "subscribe" -
                                             replies with subscribed
 
                                           "unsubscribe" -
                                             replies with unsubscribed
 
                                           "subscribed" -
                                             replies with subscribed
 
                                           "unsubscribed" -
                                             replies with unsubscribed
 
 
     SetMessageCallBacks(type=>function, - sets the callback functions for
                         etc...)           the specified message type. The
                                           function takes types as the
                                           main key, and lets you specify
                                           a function for each type of
                                           packet you can get.
                                            "normal"
                                            "chat"

                                            "error"
                                          When it gets a <message/> packet
                                          it checks the type='' for a
                                          defined callback. If there is
                                          one then it calls the function
                                          with two arguments:
                                            the session ID, and the
                                            Net::XMPP::Message object.
 
                                          If you set the function to
                                          undef, then the callback is
                                          removed from the list.
 
                        NOTE: If you use this, which is a cleaner method,
                              then you must *NOT* specify a callback for
                              message in the SetCallBacks function.
 
 
     SetIQCallBacks(namespace=>{      - sets the callback functions for
                      get=>function,    the specified namespace. The
                      set=>function,    function takes namespaces as the
                      result=>function  main key, and lets you specify a
                    },                  function for each type of packet
                    etc...)             you can get.

                                          "result"
                                        When it gets an <iq/> packet it
                                        checks the type='' and the
                                        xmlns='' for a defined callback.
                                        If there is one then it calls
                                        the function with two arguments:
                                        the session ID, and the
                                        Net::XMPP::xxxx object.
 
                                        If you set the function to undef,
                                        then the callback is removed from
                                        the list.
 
                        NOTE: If you use this, which is a cleaner method,
                              then you must *NOT* specify a callback for
                              iq in the SetCallBacks function.
 
     SetXPathCallBacks(xpath=>function, - registers a callback function
                       etc...)            for each xpath specified.  If
                                          Net::XMPP matches the xpath,
                                          then it calls the function with
                                          two arguments:
                                            the session ID, and the
                                            Net::XMPP::Message object.
 
                                          Xpaths are rooted at each
                                          packet:
                                            /message[@type="chat"]
                                            /iq/*[xmlns="jabber:iq:roster"][1]
                                            ...
 
     RemoveXPathCallBacks(xpath=>function, - unregisters a callback
                          etc...)            function for each xpath
                                             specified.
 
     SetDirectXPathCallBacks(xpath=>function, - registers a callback function
                             etc...)            for each xpath specified.  If
                                                Net::XMPP matches the xpath,
                                                then it calls the function with
                                                two arguments:
                                                  the session ID, and the
                                                  XML::Stream::Node object.
 
                                                Xpaths are rooted at each
                                                packet:
                                                  /anything
                                                  /anotherthing/foo/[1]
                                                  ...
 
                                                The big difference between this
                                                and regular XPathCallBacks is
                                                the fact that this passes in
                                                the XML directly and not a
                                                Net::XMPP based object.
 
     RemoveDirectXPathCallBacks(xpath=>function, - unregisters a callback
                                etc...)            function for each xpath
                                                   specified.
 
     Process(integer) - takes the timeout period as an argument.  If no
                        timeout is listed then the function blocks until
                        a packet is received.  Otherwise it waits that
                        number of seconds and then exits so your program
                        can continue doing useful things.  NOTE: This is
                        important for GUIs.  You need to leave time to
                        process GUI commands even if you are waiting for
                        packets.  The following are the possible return
                        values, and what they mean:
 
                            1   - Status ok, data received.
                            0   - Status ok, no data received.
                          undef - Status not ok, stop processing.
 
                        IMPORTANT: You need to check the output of every
                        Process.  If you get an undef then the connection
                        died and you should behave accordingly.
 
     Send(object,         - takes either a Net::XMPP::xxxxx object or
          ignoreActivity)   an XML string as an argument and sends it to
     Send(string,           the server.  If you set ignoreActivty to 1,
          ignoreActivity)   then the XML::Stream module will not record
                            this packet as couting towards user activity.
 =head2 ID Functions
 
     SendWithID(object) - takes either a Net::XMPP::xxxxx object or an
     SendWithID(string)   XML string as an argument, adds the next
                          available ID number and sends that packet to
                          the server.  Returns the ID number assigned.
 
     SendAndReceiveWithID(object,  - uses SendWithID and WaitForID to
                          timeout)   provide a complete way to send and
     SendAndReceiveWithID(string,    receive packets with IDs.  Can take
                          timeout)   either a Net::XMPP::xxxxx object
                                     or an XML string.  Returns the
                                     proper Net::XMPP::xxxxx object
                                     based on the type of packet
                                     received.  The timeout is passed
                                     on to WaitForID, see that function
                                     for how the timeout works.
 
     ReceivedID(integer) - returns 1 if a packet has been received with
                           specified ID, 0 otherwise.
 
     GetID(integer) - returns the proper Net::XMPP::xxxxx object based
                      on the type of packet received with the specified
                      ID.  If the ID has been received the GetID returns
                      0.
 
     WaitForID(integer, - blocks until a packet with the ID is received.
               timeout)   Returns the proper Net::XMPP::xxxxx object
                          based on the type of packet received.  If the
                          timeout limit is reached then if the packet
                          does come in, it will be discarded.
 
 
     NOTE:  Only <iq/> officially support ids, so sending a <message/>, or
            <presence/> with an id is a risk.  The server will ignore the
            id tag and pass it through, so both clients must support the
            id tag for these functions to be useful.
 
 

Namespace Functions

     AddNamespace(ns=>string,  - This function is very complex.
                  tag=>string,   It is a little too complex to
                  xpath=>hash)   discuss within the confines of
                                 this small paragraph.  Please
                                 refer to the man page for
                                 Net::XMPP::Namespaces for the
                                 full documentation on this
                                 subject.
 
 

Message Functions

     MessageSend(hash) - takes the hash and passes it to SetMessage in
                         Net::XMPP::Message (refer there for valid
                         settings).  Then it sends the message to the
                         server.
 
 

Presence Functions

     PresenceSend()                  - no arguments will send an empty
     PresenceSend(hash,                Presence to the server to tell it
                  signature=>string)   that you are available.  If you
                                       provide a hash, then it will pass
                                       that hash to the SetPresence()
                                       function as defined in the
                                       Net::XMPP::Presence module.
                                       Optionally, you can specify a
                                       signature and a jabber:x:signed
                                       will be placed in the <presence/>.
 
 

Subscription Functions

     Subscription(hash) - taks the hash and passes it to SetPresence in
                          Net::XMPP::Presence (refer there for valid
                          settings).  Then it sends the subscription to
                          server.
 
                          The valid types of subscription are:
 
                            subscribe    - subscribe to JID's presence
                            unsubscribe  - unsubscribe from JID's presence
                            subscribed   - response to a subscribe
                            unsubscribed - response to an unsubscribe
 
 

Presence DB Functions

     PresenceDB() - Tell the object to initialize the callbacks to
                    automatically populate the Presence DB.
 
     PresenceDBParse(Net::XMPP::Presence) - for every presence that you
                                              receive pass the Presence
                                              object to the DB so that
                                              it can track the resources
                                              and priorities for you.
                                              Returns either the presence
                                              passed in, if it not able
                                              to parsed for the DB, or the
                                              current presence as found by
                                              the PresenceDBQuery
                                              function.
 
     PresenceDBDelete(string|Net::XMPP::JID) - delete thes JID entry
                                                 from the DB.
 
     PresenceDBClear() - delete all entries in the database.
 
     PresenceDBQuery(string|Net::XMPP::JID) - returns the NX::Presence
                                                that was last received for
                                                the highest priority of
                                                this JID.  You can pass
                                                it a string or a NX::JID
                                                object.
 
     PresenceDBResources(string|Net::XMPP::JID) - returns an array of
                                                    resources in order
                                                    from highest priority
                                                    to lowest.
 
 

IQ Functions

Auth Functions

     AuthSend(username=>string, - takes all of the information and
              password=>string,   builds a Net::XMPP::IQ::Auth packet.
              resource=>string)   It then sends that packet to the
                                  server with an ID and waits for that
                                  ID to return.  Then it looks in
                                  resulting packet and determines if
                                  authentication was successful for not.
                                  The array returned from AuthSend looks
                                  like this:
                                    [ type , message ]
                                  If type is "ok" then authentication
                                  was successful, otherwise message
                                  contains a little more detail about the
                                  error.
 
 

IQ::Register Functions

     RegisterRequest(to=>string,  - send an <iq/> request to the specified
                     timeout=>int)  server/transport, if not specified it
     RegisterRequest()              sends to the current active server.
                                    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.
 
     RegisterSend(hash) - takes the contents of the hash and passes it
                          to the SetRegister function in the module
                          Net::XMPP::Query jabber:iq:register namespace.
                          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.
 
 

Roster Functions

     Roster() - returns a Net::XMPP::Roster object.  This will automatically
                intercept all of the roster and presence packets sent from
                the server and give you an accurate Roster.  For more
                information please read the man page for Net::XMPP::Roster.
 
     RosterParse(IQ object) - returns a hash that contains the roster
                              parsed into the following data structure:
 
                   $roster{'bob@jabber.org'}->{name}
                                       - Name you stored in the roster
 
                   $roster{'bob@jabber.org'}->{subscription}
                                       - Subscription status
                                         (to, from, both, none)
 
                   $roster{'bob@jabber.org'}->{ask}
                                       - The ask status from this user
                                         (subscribe, unsubscribe)
 
                   $roster{'bob@jabber.org'}->{groups}
                                       - Array of groups that
                                         bob@jabber.org is in
 
     RosterGet() - sends an empty Net::XMPP::IQ::Roster tag to the
                   server so the server will send the Roster to the
                   client.  Returns the above hash from RosterParse.
 
     RosterRequest() - sends an empty Net::XMPP::IQ::Roster tag to the
                       server so the server will send the Roster to the
                       client.
 
     RosterAdd(hash) - sends a packet asking that the jid be
                       added to the roster.  The hash format
                       is defined in the SetItem function
                       in the Net::XMPP::Query jabber:iq:roster
                       namespace.
 
     RosterRemove(hash) - sends a packet asking that the jid be
                          removed from the roster.  The hash
                          format is defined in the SetItem function
                          in the Net::XMPP::Query jabber:iq:roster
                          namespace.
 
 

Roster DB Functions

     RosterDB() - Tell the object to initialize the callbacks to
                  automatically populate the Roster DB.  If you do this,
                  then make sure that you call RosterRequest() instead of
                  RosterGet() so that the callbacks can catch it and
                  parse it.
 
     RosterDBParse(IQ object) - If you want to manually control the
                                database, then you can pass in all iq
                                packets with jabber:iq:roster queries to
                                this function.
 
     RosterDBAdd(jid,hash) - Add a new JID into the roster DB.  The JID
                             is either a string, or a Net::XMPP::JID
                             object.  The hash must be the same format as
                             the has returned by RosterParse above, and
                             is the actual hash, not a reference.
 
     RosterDBRemove(jid) - Remove a JID from the roster DB. The JID is
                           either a string, or a Net::XMPP::JID object.
 
     RosterDBClear() - Remove all JIDs from the roster DB.
 
     RosterDBExists(jid) - return 1 if the JID exists in the roster DB,
                           undef otherwise.  The JID is either a string,
                           or a Net::XMPP::JID object.
 
     RosterDBJIDs() - returns a list of Net::XMPP::JID objects that
                      represents all of the JIDs in the DB.
 
     RosterDBGroups() - returns the complete list of roster groups in the
                        roster.
 
     RosterDBGroupExists(group) - return 1 if the group is a group in the
                                  roster DB, undef otherwise.
 
     RosterDBGroupJIDs(group) - returns a list of Net::XMPP::JID objects
                                that represents all of the JIDs in the
                                specified roster group.
 
     RosterDBNonGroupJIDs() - returns a list of Net::XMPP::JID objects
                              that represents all of the JIDs not in a
                              roster group.
 
     RosterDBQuery(jid) - returns a hash containing the data from the
                          roster DB for the specified JID.  The JID is
                          either a string, or a Net::XMPP::JID object.
                          The hash format the same as in RosterParse
                          above.
 
     RosterDBQuery(jid,key) - returns the entry from the above hash for
                              the given key.  The available keys are:
                                name, ask, subsrcription and groups
                              The JID is either a string, or a
                              Net::XMPP::JID object.
