NAME
HTTP::OAI::Response - An OAI response
DESCRIPTION
"HTTP::OAI::Response" inherits from HTTP::Response and supplies some utility methods for OAI.
METHODS
$r = new HTTP::OAI::Response([responseDate=>$rd][, requestURL=>$ru]) This constructor method returns a new HTTP::OAI::Response object. Optionally set the responseDate and requestURL. Use $r->is_error to test whether the request was successful. In addition to the HTTP response codes, the following codes may be returned: 600 - Error parsing XML or invalid OAI response Use $r->message to obtain a human-readable error message. $r->copy_from( $r ) Copies an HTTP::Response $r into this object. $headers = $r->headers Returns an HTTP::OAI::Headers object. $errs = $r->errors([$err]) Returns and optionally adds to the OAI error list. Returns a reference to an array. $rd = $r->responseDate( [$rd] ) Returns and optionally sets the response date. $ru = $r->requestURL( [$ru] ) Returns and optionally sets the request URL. $verb = $r->verb( [$verb] ) Returns and optionally sets the OAI verb. $r->version Return the version of the OAI protocol used by the remote site (protocolVersion is automatically changed by the underlying API). $r->xslt( $url ) Set the stylesheet to use in a response.
NOTE - requestURI/request
Version 2.0 of OAI uses a "request" element to contain the client's request, rather than a URI. The OAI-PERL library automatically converts from a URI into the appropriate request structure, and back again when harvesting. The exception to this rule is for badVerb errors, where the arguments will not be available for conversion into a URI.
