NAME

       Net::OpenID::IndirectMessage - Class representing a collection of namespaced arguments

VERSION

       version 1.17

DESCRIPTION

       This class acts as an abstraction layer over a collection of flat URL arguments which supports namespaces
       as defined by the OpenID Auth 2.0 specification.

       It also recognises when it is given OpenID 1.1 non-namespaced arguments and acts as if the relevant
       namespaces were present. In this case, it only supports the basic OpenID 1.1 arguments and the extension
       arguments for Simple Registration.

       This class can operate on a normal hashref, a CGI object or any object with a "param" method that behaves
       similarly (Apache::Request, Apache2::Request, Mojo::Parameters,...), an Apache object, a Plack::Request
       object, or an arbitrary "CODE" ref that when given a key name as its first parameter and returns a value
       and if given no arguments returns a list of all keys present.

       If you pass in a hashref or a coderef it is your responsibility as the caller to check the HTTP request
       method and pass in the correct set of arguments.  For the other kinds of objects, this module will do the
       right thing automatically.

SYNOPSIS

           use Net::OpenID::IndirectMessage;

           # Pass in something suitable for the underlying flat dictionary.
           # Will return an instance if the request arguments can be understood
           # as a supported OpenID Message format.
           # Will return undef if this doesn't seem to be an OpenID Auth message.
           # Will croak if the $argumenty_thing is not of a suitable type.
           my $args = Net::OpenID::IndirectMessage->new($argumenty_thing);

           # Determine which protocol version the message is using.
           # Currently this can be either 1 for 1.1 or 2 for 2.0.
           # Expect larger numbers for other versions in future.
           # Most callers don't really need to care about this.
           my $version = $args->protocol_version();

           # Get a core argument value ("openid.mode")
           my $mode = $args->get("mode");

           # Get an extension argument value
           my $nickname = $args->get_ext("http://openid.net/extensions/sreg/1.1", "nickname");

           # Get hashref of all arguments in a given namespace
           my $sreg = $args->get_ext("http://openid.net/extensions/sreg/1.1");

       Most of the time callers won't need to use this class directly, but will instead access it through a
       Net::OpenID::Consumer instance.

METHODS

       protocol_version
           Currently returns 1 or 2, according as this is an OpenID 1.0/1.1 or an OpenID 2.0 message.

       has_ext
           Takes an extension namespace and returns true if the named extension is used in this message.

       get_ext
           Takes  an  extension  namespace and an optional parameter name, returns the parameter value, or if no
           parameter given, the parameter value.
