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"

                                           "groupchat"

                                           "headline"

                                           "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.

                                         "get"

                                         "set"

                                         "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.
