.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \f(CW\*(C`HTML::HeadParser\*(C'\fR is a specialized (and lightweight)
\&\f(CW\*(C`HTML::Parser\*(C'\fR that will only parse the <\s-1HEAD\s0>...
section of an \s-1HTML\s0 document. The \fIparse()\fR method
will return a \s-1FALSE\s0 value as soon as some <\s-1BODY\s0> element or body
text are found, and should not be called again after this.
.PP
Note that the \f(CW\*(C`HTML::HeadParser\*(C'\fR might get confused if raw undecoded
\&\s-1UTF\-8\s0 is passed to the \fIparse()\fR method. Make sure the strings are
properly decoded before passing them on.
.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`HTML::HeadParser\*(C'\fR keeps a reference to a header object, and the
parser will update this header object as the various elements of the
<\s-1HEAD\s0> section of the \s-1HTML\s0 document are recognized. The following
header fields are affected:
.IP "Content-Base:" 4
.IX Item "Content-Base:"
The \fIContent-Base\fR header is initialized from the element.
.IP "Title:" 4
.IX Item "Title:"
The \fITitle\fR header is initialized from the ...
element.
.IP "Isindex:" 4
.IX Item "Isindex:"
The \fIIsindex\fR header will be added if there is a
element in the . The header value is initialized from the
\&\fIprompt\fR attribute if it is present. If no \fIprompt\fR attribute is
given it will have '?' as the value.
.IP "X\-Meta-Foo:" 4
.IX Item "X-Meta-Foo:"
All elements containing a \f(CW\*(C`name\*(C'\fR attribute will result in
headers using the prefix \f(CW\*(C`X\-Meta\-\*(C'\fR appended with the value of the
\&\f(CW\*(C`name\*(C'\fR attribute as the name of the header, and the value of the
\&\f(CW\*(C`content\*(C'\fR attribute as the pushed header value.
.Sp
elements containing a \f(CW\*(C`http\-equiv\*(C'\fR attribute will result
in headers as in above, but without the \f(CW\*(C`X\-Meta\-\*(C'\fR prefix in the
header name.
.Sp
elements containing a \f(CW\*(C`charset\*(C'\fR attribute will result in
an \f(CW\*(C`X\-Meta\-Charset\*(C'\fR header, using the value of the \f(CW\*(C`charset\*(C'\fR
attribute as the pushed header value.
.Sp
The ':' character can't be represented in header field names, so
if the meta element contains this char it's substituted with '\-'
before forming the field name.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
The following methods (in addition to those provided by the
superclass) are available:
.ie n .IP "$hp = HTML::HeadParser\->new" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$hp\fR = HTML::HeadParser\->new" 4
.IX Item "$hp = HTML::HeadParser->new"
.PD 0
.ie n .IP "$hp = HTML::HeadParser\->new( $header )" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$hp\fR = HTML::HeadParser\->new( \f(CW$header\fR )" 4
.IX Item "$hp = HTML::HeadParser->new( $header )"
.PD
The object constructor. The optional \f(CW$header\fR argument should be a
reference to an object that implement the \fIheader()\fR and \fIpush_header()\fR
methods as defined by the \f(CW\*(C`HTTP::Headers\*(C'\fR class. Normally it will be
of some class that is a or delegates to the \f(CW\*(C`HTTP::Headers\*(C'\fR class.
.Sp
If no \f(CW$header\fR is given \f(CW\*(C`HTML::HeadParser\*(C'\fR will create an
\&\f(CW\*(C`HTTP::Headers\*(C'\fR object by itself (initially empty).
.ie n .IP "$hp\->header;" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$hp\fR\->header;" 4
.IX Item "$hp->header;"
Returns a reference to the header object.
.ie n .IP "$hp\->header( $key )" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$hp\fR\->header( \f(CW$key\fR )" 4
.IX Item "$hp->header( $key )"
Returns a header value. It is just a shorter way to write
\&\f(CW\*(C`$hp\->header\->header($key)\*(C'\fR.

.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`HTTP::Headers\*(C'\fR class is distributed as part of the
\&\fIlibwww-perl\fR package. If you don't have that distribution installed
you need to provide the \f(CW$header\fR argument to the \f(CW\*(C`HTML::HeadParser\*(C'\fR
constructor with your own object that implements the documented
protocol.
