NAME

6       Net::Jabber::Protocol - Jabber Protocol Library
7

SYNOPSIS

9         Net::Jabber::Protocol is a module that provides a developer easy
10         access to the Jabber Instant Messaging protocol.  It provides high
11         level functions to the Net::Jabber Client, Component, and Server
12         objects.  These functions are automatically indluded in those modules
13         through AUTOLOAD and delegates.
14

DESCRIPTION

16         Protocol.pm seeks to provide enough high level APIs and automation of
17         the low level APIs that writing a Jabber Client/Transport in Perl is
18         trivial.  For those that wish to work with the low level you can do
19         that too, but those functions are covered in the documentation for
20         each module.
21
22         Net::Jabber::Protocol provides functions to login, send and receive
23         messages, set personal information, create a new user account, manage
24         the roster, and disconnect.  You can use all or none of the functions,
25         there is no requirement.
26
27         For more information on how the details for how Net::Jabber is written
28         please see the help for Net::Jabber itself.
29
30         For more information on writing a Client see Net::Jabber::Client.
31
32         For more information on writing a Transport see Net::Jabber::Transport.
33
34   Modes
35         Several of the functions take a mode argument that let you specify how
36         the function should behave:
37
38           block - send the packet with an ID, and then block until an answer
39                   comes back.  You can optionally specify a timeout so that
40                   you do not block forever.
41
42           nonblock - send the packet with an ID, but then return that id and
43                      control to the master program.  Net::Jabber is still
44                      tracking this packet, so you must use the CheckID function
45                      to tell when it comes in.  (This might not be very
46                      useful...)
47
48           passthru - send the packet with an ID, but do NOT register it with
49                      Net::Jabber, then return the ID.  This is useful when
50                      combined with the XPath function because you can register
51                      a one shot function tied to the id you get back.

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

652                                 the status "ok" or "fault".  The second
653                                 argument is an array if "ok", or a hash if
654                                 "fault".

665                       params=>array,         the caller.  If any part of
666                       faultCode=>int,        fault is specified, then it
667                       faultString=>string)   wins.
668
669
670           Note: To ensure that you get the correct type for a param sent
671                 back, you can specify the type by prepending the type to
672                 the value:
673
674                   "i4:5" or "int:5"
675                   "boolean:0"
676                   "string:56"
677                   "double:5.0"
678                   "datetime:20020415T11:11:11"

682                           method=>function,   for the specified methods.
683                           etc...)             The method comes from the
684                                               <methodName/> and is case
685                                               sensitive.  The single
686                                               arguemnt is a ref to an
687                                               array that contains the
688                                               <params/>.  The function you
689                                               write should return one of two
690                                               things:
691
692                                                 ["ok", [...] ]
693
694                                               The [...] is a list of the
695                                               <params/> you want to return.
696
697                                                 ["fault", {faultCode=>1,
698                                                            faultString=>...} ]
699
700                                               If you set the function to undef,
701                                               then the method is removed from
702                                               the list.
703
704   Search Functions

706                         mode=>string,  server/transport, if not specified it

708           SearchRequest()              The function returns a hash that
709                                        contains the required fields.   Here
710                                        is an example of the hash:
711
712                                        $hash{fields}    - The raw fields from

720
721                                        In $hash{form}, the fields that are
722                                        present are the required fields the
723                                        server needs.
724
725                                        See MODES above for using the mode
726                                        and timeout.
727
728           SearchSend(to=>string|JID, - takes the contents of the hash and
729                      hash)             passes it to the SetSearch function
730                                        in the Net::Jabber::Query
731                                        jabber:iq:search namespace.  And then
732                                        sends the packet.
733
734           SearchSendData(string|JID, - takes the contents of the hash and
735                          hash)         builds a jabebr:x:data return packet
736                                        which it sends in a Net::Jabber::Query
737                                        jabber:iq:search namespace packet.
738                                        The first argument is the JID to send
739                                        the packet to.
740
741   Time Functions
742           TimeQuery(to=>string,     - asks the jid specified for its localtime.
743                     mode=>string,     If the to is blank, then it queries the
744                     timeout=>int)     server.  Returns a hash with the various
745           TimeQuery()                 items set if mode is set to "block":

751                                       See MODES above for using the mode
752                                       and timeout.
753
754           TimeSend(to=>string) - sends the current UTC time to the specified
755                                  jid.

757   Version Functions
758           VersionQuery(to=>string,     - asks the jid specified for its
759                        mode=>string,     client version information.  If the
760                        timeout=>int)     to is blank, then it queries the
761           VersionQuery()                 server.  Returns ahash with the
762                                          various items set if mode is set to
763                                          "block":
764
765                                            $version{name} - Name
766                                            $version{ver}  - Version
767                                            $version{os}   - Operating System/
