Normally you would want +construct C<HTTP::Request> or C<HTTP::Response> objects instead. + +The optional $header argument should be a reference to an +C<HTTP::Headers> object or a plain array reference of key/value pairs. +If an C<HTTP::Headers> object is provided then a copy of it will be +embedded into the constructed message, i.e. it will not be owned and +can be modified afterwards without affecting the message. + +The optional $content argument should be a string of bytes. + +=item $mess = HTTP::Message->parse( $str ) + +This constructs a new message object by parsing the given string. + +=item $mess->headers + +Returns the embedded C<HTTP::Headers> object. + +=item $mess->headers_as_string + +=item $mess->headers_as_string( $eol ) + +Call the as_string() method for the headers in the +message. This will be the same as + + $mess->headers->as_string + +but it will make your program a whole character shorter :-) + +=item $mess->content + +=item $mess->content( $bytes ) + +The content() method sets the raw content if an argument is given. If no +argument is given the content is not touched. In either case the +original raw content is returned. + +Note that the content should be a string of bytes. Strings in perl +can contain characters outside the range of a byte. The C<Encode> +module can be used to turn such strings into a string of bytes. + +=item $mess->add_content( $bytes ) + +The add_content() methods appends more data bytes to the end of the +current content buffer. + +=item $mess->add_content_utf8( $string ) + +The add_content_utf8() method appends the UTF-8 bytes representing the +string to the end of the current content buffer. + +=item $mess->content_ref + +=item $mess->content_ref( \$bytes ) + +The content_ref() method will return a reference to content buffer string. +It can be more efficient to access the content this way if the content +is huge, and it can even be used for direct manipulation of the content, +for instance: + + ${$res->content_ref} =~ s/\bfoo\b/bar/g; + +This example would modify the content buffer in-place. + +If an argument is passed it will setup the content to reference some +external source. The content() and add_content() methods +will automatically dereference scalar references passed this way. For +other references content() will return the reference itself and +add_content() will refuse to do anything. + +=item $mess->content_charset + +This returns the charset used by the content in the message. The +charset is either found as the charset attribute of the +C<Content-Type> header or by guessing. + +See L<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/charset.html#spec-char-encoding> +for details about how charset is determined. + +=item $mess->decoded_content( %options ) + +Returns the content with any C<Content-Encoding> undone and for textual content +the raw content encoded to Perl's Unicode strings. If the C<Content-Encoding> +or C<charset> of the message is unknown this method will fail by returning +C<undef>. + +The following options can be specified. + +=over + +=item C<charset> + +This override the charset parameter for text content. The value +C<none> can used to suppress decoding of the charset. + +=item C<default_charset> + +This override the default charset guessed by content_charset() or +if that fails "ISO-8859-1". + +=item C<alt_charset> + +If decoding fails because the charset specified in the Content-Type header +isn't recognized by Perl's Encode module, then try decoding using this charset +instead of failing. The C<alt_charset> might be specified as C<none> to simply +return the string without any decoding of charset as alternative. + +=item C<charset_strict> + +Abort decoding if malformed characters is found in the content. By +default you get the substitution character ("\x{FFFD}") in place of +malformed characters. + +=item C<raise_error> + +If TRUE then raise an exception if not able to decode content. Reason +might be that the specified C<Content-Encoding> or C<charset> is not +supported. If this option is FALSE, then decoded_content() will return +C<undef> on errors, but will still set $@. + +=item C<ref> + +If TRUE then a reference to decoded content is returned. This might +be more efficient in cases where the decoded content is identical to +the raw content as no data copying is required in this case. + +=back + +=item $mess->decodable + +=item HTTP::Message::decodable() + +This returns the encoding identifiers that decoded_content() can +process. In scalar context returns a comma separated string of +identifiers. + +This value is suitable for initializing the C<Accept-Encoding> request +header field. + +=item $mess->decode + +This method tries to replace the content of the message with the +decoded version and removes the C<Content-Encoding> header. Returns +TRUE if successful and FALSE if not. + +If the message does not have a C<Content-Encoding> header this method +does nothing and returns TRUE. + +Note that the content of the message is still bytes after this method +has been called and you still need to call decoded_content() if you +want to process its content as a string. + +=item $mess->encode( $encoding, ... ) + +Apply the given encodings to the content of the message. Returns TRUE +if successful. The "identity" (non-)encoding is always supported; other +currently supported encodings, subject to availability of required +additional modules, are "gzip", "deflate", "x-bzip2" and "base64". + +A successful call to this function will set the C<Content-Encoding> +header. + +Note that C<multipart/*> or C<message/*> messages can't be encoded and +this method will croak if you try. + +=item $mess->parts + +=item $mess->parts( @parts ) + +=item $mess->parts( \@parts ) + +Messages can be composite, i.e. contain other messages. The composite +messages have a content type of C<multipart/*> or C<message/*>. This +method give access to the contained messages. + +The argumentless form will return a list of C<HTTP::Message> objects. +If the content type of $msg is not C<multipart/*> or C<message/*> then +this will return the empty list. In scalar context only the first +object is returned. The returned message parts should be regarded as +read-only (future versions of this library might make it possible +to modify the parent by modifying the parts). + +If the content type of $msg is C<message/*> then there will only be +one part returned. + +If the content type is C<message/http>, then the return value will be +either an C<HTTP::Request> or an C<HTTP::Response> object. + +If a @parts argument is given, then the content of the message will be +modified. The array reference form is provided so that an empty list +can be provided. The @parts array should contain C<HTTP::Message> +objects. The @parts objects are owned by $mess after this call and +should not be modified or made part of other messages. + +When updating the message with this method and the old content type of +$mess is not C<multipart/*> or C<message/*>, then the content type is +set to C<multipart/mixed> and all other content headers are cleared. + +This method will croak if the content type is C<message/*> and more +than one part is provided. + +=item $mess->add_part( $part ) + +This will add a part to a message. The $part argument should be +another C<HTTP::Message> object. If the previous content type of +$mess is not C<multipart/*> then the old content (together with all +content headers) will be made part #1 and the content type made +C<multipart/mixed> before the new part is added. The $part object is +owned by $mess after this call and should not be modified or made part +of other messages. + +There is no return value. + +=item $mess->clear + +Will clear the headers and set the content to the empty string. There +is no return value + +=item $mess->protocol + +=item $mess->protocol( $proto ) + +Sets the HTTP protocol used for the message. The protocol() is a string +like C<HTTP/1.0> or C<HTTP/1.1>. + +=item $mess->clone + +Returns a copy of the message object. + +=item $mess->as_string + +=item $mess->as_string( $eol ) + +Returns the message formatted as a single string. + +The optional $eol parameter specifies the line ending sequence to use. +The default is "\n". If no $eol is given then as_string will ensure +that the returned string is newline terminated (even when the message +content is not). No extra newline is appended if an explicit $eol is +passed. + +=item $mess->dump( %opt ) + +Returns the message formatted as a string. In void context print the string. + +This differs from C<< $mess->as_string >> in that it escapes the bytes +of the content so that it's safe to print them and it limits how much +content to print. The escapes syntax used is the same as for Perl's +double quoted strings. If there is no content the string "(no +content)" is shown in its place. + +Options to influence the output can be passed as key/value pairs. The +following options are recognized: + +=over + +=item maxlength => $num + +How much of the content to show. The default is 512. Set this to 0 +for unlimited. + +If the content is longer then the string is chopped at the limit and +the string "...\n(### more bytes not shown)" appended. + +=item no_content => $str + +Replaces the "(no content)" marker. + +=item prefix => $str + +A string that will be prefixed to each line of the dump. + +=back + +=back + +All methods unknown to C<HTTP::Message> itself are delegated to the +C<HTTP::Headers> object that is part of every message. This allows +convenient access to these methods.
