=head1 NAME

XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP - Server/Client side HTTP support for XMLRPC::Lite

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=over 4

=item Client

  use XMLRPC::Lite
    proxy => 'http://localhost/',
  # proxy => 'http://localhost/cgi-bin/xmlrpc.cgi', # local CGI server
  # proxy => 'http://localhost/',                   # local daemon server
  # proxy => 'http://login:password@localhost/cgi-bin/xmlrpc.cgi', # local CGI server with authentication
  ;

  print getStateName(1);

=item CGI server

  use XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP;

  my $server = XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP::CGI
    -> dispatch_to('methodName')
    -> handle
  ;

=item Daemon server

  use XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP;

  my $daemon = XMLRPC::Transport::HTTP::Daemon
    -> new (LocalPort => 80)
    -> dispatch_to('methodName')
  ;
  print "Contact to XMLRPC server at ", $daemon->url, "\n";
  $daemon->handle;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class encapsulates all HTTP related logic for a XMLRPC server,
independent of what web server it's attached to.
If you want to use this class you should follow simple guideline
mentioned above.

=head2 PROXY SETTINGS

You can use any proxy setting you use with LWP::UserAgent modules:

 XMLRPC::Lite->proxy('http://endpoint.server/',
                     proxy => ['http' => 'http://my.proxy.server']);

or

 $xmlrpc->transport->proxy('http' => 'http://my.proxy.server');

should specify proxy server for you. And if you use C<HTTP_proxy_user>
and C<HTTP_proxy_pass> for proxy authorization SOAP::Lite should know
how to handle it properly.

=head2 COOKIE-BASED AUTHENTICATION

  use HTTP::Cookies;

  my $cookies = HTTP::Cookies->new(ignore_discard => 1);
    # you may also add 'file' if you want to keep them between sessions

  my $xmlrpc = XMLRPC::Lite->proxy('http://localhost/');
  $xmlrpc->transport->cookie_jar($cookies);

Cookies will be taken from response and provided for request. You may
always add another cookie (or extract what you need after response)
with HTTP::Cookies interface.

You may also do it in one line:

  $xmlrpc->proxy('http://localhost/',
                 cookie_jar => HTTP::Cookies->new(ignore_discard => 1));

=head2 COMPRESSION

XMLRPC::Lite provides you option for enabling compression on wire (for HTTP
transport only). Both server and client should support this capability,
but this logic should be absolutely transparent for your application.
Server will respond with encoded message only if client can accept it
(client sends Accept-Encoding with 'deflate' or '*' values) and client
has fallback logic, so if server doesn't understand specified encoding
(Content-Encoding: deflate) and returns proper error code
(415 NOT ACCEPTABLE) client will repeat the same request not encoded and
will store this server in per-session cache, so all other requests will
go there without encoding.

Having options on client and server side that let you specify threshold
for compression you can safely enable this feature on both client and
server side.

Compression will be enabled on client side IF: threshold is specified AND
size of current message is bigger than threshold AND module Compress::Zlib
is available. Client will send header 'Accept-Encoding' with value 'deflate'
if threshold is specified AND module Compress::Zlib is available.

Server will accept compressed message if module Compress::Zlib is available,
and will respond with compressed message ONLY IF: threshold is specified AND
size of current message is bigger than threshold AND module Compress::Zlib
is available AND header 'Accept-Encoding' is presented in request.
