NAME

6       HTTP::Link::Parser - parse HTTP Link headers
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use HTTP::Link::Parser ':standard';
10         use LWP::UserAgent;
11
12         my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
13         my $response = $ua->get("http://example.com/foo");
14
15         # Parse link headers into an RDF::Trine::Model.
16         my $model = parse_links_into_model($response);
17
18         # Find data about <http://example.com/foo>.
19         my $iterator = $model->get_statements(
20           RDF::Trine::Node::Resource->new('http://example.com/foo'),
21           undef,
22           undef);
23
24         while ($statement = $iterator->next)
25         {
26            # Skip data where the value is not a resource (i.e. link)
27            next unless $statement->object->is_resource;
28
29            printf("Link to <%s> with rel=\"%s\".\n",
30               $statement->object->uri,
31               $statement->predicate->uri);
32         }

DESCRIPTION

35       HTTP::Link::Parser parses HTTP "Link" headers found in an
36       HTTP::Response object. Headers should conform to the format described
37       in RFC 5988.
38
39   Functions
40       To export all functions:
41
42         use HTTP::Link::Parser ':all';
43
44       "parse_links_into_model($response, [$existing_model])"
45           Takes an HTTP::Response object (or in fact, any HTTP::Message
46           object) and returns an RDF::Trine::Model containing link data
47           extracted from the response. Dublin Core is used to encode
48           'hreflang', 'title' and 'type' link parameters.
49
50           $existing_model is an RDF::Trine::Model to add data to. If omitted,
51           a new, empty model is created.
52
53       parse_links_to_rdfjson($response)
54           Returns a hashref with a structure inspired by the RDF/JSON
55           specification. This can be thought of as a shortcut for:
56
57             parse_links_into_model($response)->as_hashref
58
59           But it's faster as no intermediate model is built.
60
61       relationship_uri($short)
62           This function is not exported by default.
63
64           It may be used to convert short strings identifying relationships,
65           such as "next" and "prev", into longer URIs identifying the same
66           relationships, such as
67           "http://www.iana.org/assignments/relation/next" and
68           "http://www.iana.org/assignments/relation/prev".
69
70           If passed a string which is a URI already, simply returns it as-is.
71
72   Internal Functions
73       These are really just internal implementations, but you can use them if
74       you like.
75
76       parse_links_to_list($response)
77           This function is not exported by default.
78
79           Returns an arrayref of hashrefs. Each hashref contains keys
80           corresponding to the link parameters of the link, and a key called
81           'URI' corresponding to the target of the link.
82
83           The 'rel' and 'rev' keys are arrayrefs containing lists of
84           relationships. If the Link used the short form of a registered
85           relationship, then the short form is present on this list. Short
86           forms can be converted to long forms (URIs) using the
87           "relationship_uri" function.
88
89           The structure returned by this function should not be considered
90           stable.
91
92       "parse_single_link($link, $base, [$default_lang])"
93           This function is not exported by default.
94
95           This parses a single Link header (minus the "Link:" bit itself)
96           into a hashref structure. A base URI must be included in case the
97           link contains relative URIs.  A default language can be provided
98           for the 'title' parameter.
99
100           The structure returned by this function should not be considered
101           stable.
