DESCRIPTION |
| 13 |
See <http://freenet.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=fcp> for a |
| 14 |
description of what the messages do. I am too lazy to document all this |
| 15 |
here. |

WARNING |
| 18 |
This module is alpha. While it probably won't destroy (much :) of your |
| 19 |
data, it currently works only with the Event module (alkthough the event |
| 20 |
mechanism is fully pluggable). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
THE Net::FCP CLASS |
| 23 |
$fcp = new Net::FCP [host => $host][, port => $port] |
| 24 |
Create a new virtual FCP connection to the given host and port |
| 25 |
(default 127.0.0.1:8481, or the environment variables "FREDHOST" and |
| 26 |
"FREDPORT"). |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Connections are virtual because no persistent physical connection is |
| 29 |
established. However, the existance of the node is checked by |
| 30 |
executing a "ClientHello" transaction. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
$txn = $fcp->txn(type => attr => val,...) |
| 33 |
The low-level interface to transactions. Don't use it. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
$txn = $fcp->txn_client_hello |
| 36 |
$nodehello = $fcp->client_hello |
| 37 |
Executes a ClientHello request and returns it's results. |
| 38 |

$txn = $fcp->txn_client_info |

Executes a ClientInfo request and returns it's results. |

$txn = $fcp->txn_generate_chk ($metadata, $data) |
| 74 |
$uri = $fcp->generate_chk ($metadata, $data) |
| 75 |
Creates a new CHK, given the metadata and data. UNTESTED. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
$txn = $fcp->txn_generate_svk_pair |
| 78 |
($public, $private) = @{ $fcp->generate_svk_pair } |

Creates a new SVK pair. Returns an arrayref. |

|
| 86 |
$txn = $fcp->txn_insert_private_key ($private) |
| 87 |
$uri = $fcp->insert_private_key ($private) |
| 88 |
Inserts a private key. $private can be either an insert URI (must |
| 89 |
start with freenet:SSK@) or a raw private key (i.e. the private |
| 90 |
value you get back from "generate_svk_pair"). |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
Returns the public key. |
| 93 |
|

UNTESTED. |
| 95 |
|
| 96 |
$txn = $fcp->txn_get_size ($uri) |
| 97 |
$length = $fcp->get_size ($uri) |
| 98 |
Finds and returns the size (rounded up to the nearest power of two) |
| 99 |
of the given document. |
| 100 |
|
| 101 |
UNTESTED. |
| 102 |
|

| 104 |
($data, $metadata) = @{ $fcp->client_get ($uri, $htl, $removelocal) |
| 105 |
Fetches a (small, as it should fit into memory) file from freenet. |
| 106 |
|
| 107 |
Due to the overhead, a better method to download big fiels should be |
| 108 |
used. |
| 109 |
|
| 110 |
my ($data, $meta) = @{ |
| 111 |
$fcp->client_get ( |

THE Net::FCP::Txn CLASS |
| 119 |
All requests (or transactions) are executed in a asynchroneous way (LIE: |
| 120 |
uploads are blocking). For each request, a "Net::FCP::Txn" object is |
| 121 |
created (worse: a tcp connection is created, too). |
| 122 |
|
| 123 |
For each request there is actually a different subclass (and it's |
| 124 |
possible to subclass these, although of course not documented). |
| 125 |
|
| 126 |
The most interesting method is "result". |
| 127 |
|
| 128 |
new arg => val,... |
| 129 |
Creates a new "Net::FCP::Txn" object. Not normally used. |
| 130 |
|
| 131 |
$result = $txn->result |
| 132 |
Waits until a result is available and then returns it. |
| 133 |
|
| 134 |
This waiting is (depending on your event model) not very efficient, |
| 135 |
as it is done outside the "mainloop". |
