NAME

Multipart::Encoder - encoder for mime-type multipart/form-data.

SINOPSIS

# Make datafiles for test:
`echo "Simple text." > /tmp/file.txt`;
`gzip < /tmp/file.txt > /tmp/file.gz`;

use Multipart::Encoder;

my $multipart = Multipart::Encoder->new(
    x=>1,
    file_name => \"/tmp/file.txt",
    y=>[
        "Content-Type" => "text/json",
        name => 'my-name',
        filename => 'my-filename',
        _ => '{"count": 666}',
        'Any-Header' => 123,
    ],
    z => {
        _ => \'/tmp/file.gz',
        'Any-Header' => 123,
    }
)->buffer_size(2048)->boundary("xYzZY");

my $str = $multipart->as_string;

utf8::is_utf8($str)            ## ""

$str                           #~ \r\n--xYzZY--\r\n\z

$multipart->to("/tmp/file.form-data");

open my $f, "<", "/tmp/file.form-data"; binmode $f; read $f, my $buf, -s $f; close $f;
$buf                           ## $str

$multipart->to(\*STDOUT);      ##>> $str

DESCRIPTION

The encoder in 'multipart/form-data' is not represented in perl libraries. It is only used as part of other libraries, for example, CHTTP::Tiny::Multipart.

But there is no such library for AnyEvent::HTTP.

The only module CHTTP::Body::Builder::MultiPart does not allow adding a file as a string to a multipart.

INSTALL

$ cpm install -g Multipart::Encoder

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

Constructor.

my $multipart1 = Multipart::Encoder->new;
my $multipart2 = $multipart1->new;
$multipart2    ##!= $multipart1

ref Multipart::Encoder::new(0)    # 0

Return new object.

Arguments is a params for serialize to multipart-format.

Multipart::Encoder->new(x=>123)->as_string    #~ 123

content_type

$multipart->content_type    # multipart/form-data

buffer_size

Set or get buffer size. Buffer using for write to file.

$multipart->buffer_size(1024)->buffer_size        # 1024

Default buffer size:

Multipart::Encoder->new->buffer_size            # 2048

boundary

Boundary is a separator before params in multipart-data.

$multipart->boundary("XYZooo")->boundary        # XYZooo

Default boundary:

Multipart::Encoder->new->boundary                # xYzZY

as_string

Serialize params to a string.

Multipart::Encoder->new(x=>123, y=>456)->as_string   #~ 123

to

Serialize params and print it in multipart format to a file use buffer with buffer_size. Argument for to must by path or filehandle.

$multipart->to("/tmp/file.form-data");

open my $f, ">", "/tmp/file.form-data"; binmode $f;
$multipart->to($f);
close $f;

If file not open raise the die.

$multipart->to("/")        #@ ~ Not open file `/`. Is a directory

PARAMS

Param types is file and string.

String param type

Multipart::Encoder->new(x=>"Simple string")->as_string    #~ Simple string

With headers:

my $str = Multipart::Encoder->new(
    x => {
        _ => "Simple string",
        header => 123,
    },
)->as_string;

$str #~ Simple string
$str #~ header: 123

Header Content-Disposition added automically.

Multipart::Encoder->new(x=>"Simple string")->as_string    #~ Content-Disposition: form-data; name="x"

Name in Content-Disposition set as key, or name-header:

my $str = Multipart::Encoder->new(
    x => {
        _ => "Simple string",
        name => "xyz",
    },
)->as_string;

$str #~ Content-Disposition: form-data; name="xyz"

If need filename in Content-Disposition, add it:

my $str = Multipart::Encoder->new(
    0 => {
        _ => "Simple string",
        filename => "xyz.tgz",
    },
)->as_string;

$str #~ Content-Disposition: form-data; name="0"; filename="xyz.tgz"

If Content-Disposition is, then it use once.

my $str = Multipart::Encoder->new(
    x => {
        _ => "Simple string",
        'content-disposition' => "form-data; name=\"z\"; filename=\"xyz\"",
    },
)->as_string;

$str #~ content-disposition: form-data; name="z"; filename="xyz"

File param type

Header Content-Disposition added automically.

open my $f, ">/tmp/0"; close $f;

Multipart::Encoder->new(x=>\"/tmp/0")->as_string    #~ Content-Disposition: form-data; name="x"; filename="0"

Header Content-Type added automically.

Multipart::Encoder->new(x=>\"/tmp/file.gz")->as_string    #~ Content-Type: application/x-gzip; charset=binary

But if it is, then used once.

my $str = Multipart::Encoder->new(
    x => [
        _ => \"/tmp/file.gz",
        'content-type' => 'text/plain',
    ]
)->as_string;

$str #~ content-type: text/plain
$str #!~ Content-Type

Name in Content-Disposition set as key, or name-header:

my $str = Multipart::Encoder->new(
    x => {
        _ => \"/tmp/file.txt",
        name => "xyz",
    },
)->as_string;

$str #~ Content-Disposition: form-data; name="xyz"; filename="file.txt"

If need filename in Content-Disposition, add it:

my $str = Multipart::Encoder->new(
    0 => {
        _ => \"/tmp/file.txt",
        filename => "xyz.tgz",
    },
)->as_string;

$str #~ Content-Disposition: form-data; name="0"; filename="xyz.tgz"

If Content-Disposition is, then it use once.

my $str = Multipart::Encoder->new(
    x => [
        _ => \"/tmp/file.txt",
        'content-disposition' => "form-data; name=\"z\"; filename=\"xyz\"",
    ],
)->as_string;

$str #~ content-disposition: form-data; name="z"; filename="xyz"

Big file.

open my $f, ">", "/tmp/bigfile"; binmode $f; print $f 0 x 65534; close $f;
Multipart::Encoder->new(x=>\"/tmp/bigfile")->as_string    #~ \n0{65534}\r

Raise if not open file.

Multipart::Encoder->new(x=>\"/tmp/NnKkMm346485923")->as_string #@ ~ Not open file `/tmp/NnKkMm346485923`: No such file or directory
