NAME
Net::SIP::Packet - handling of SIP packets
SYNOPSIS
use Net::SIP::Packet;
my $pkt = eval { Net::SIP::Packet->new( $sip_string ) }
or die "invalid SIP packet";
$pkt->get_header( 'call-id' ) || die "no call-id";
$pkt->set_header( via => \@via );
print $pkt->as_string;
DESCRIPTION
This module implements the parsing, manipulation and creation of SIP packets according to RFC3261.
NET::SIP::Packet's objects can be created by parsing a string containing the SIP packet or by
constructing it from parts, e.g. header keys and values, body, method+URI (requests) or code+text
(responses).
All parts can be manipulated and finally the string representation of the manipulated packet can be
(re)created.
For dealing with requests and responses directly usually the subclasses Net::SIP::Request or
Net::SIP::Response will be used instead.
EXAMPLES
# create packet from string
my $invite = Net::SIP::Packet->new( <<'EOS' );
INVITE sip:you@example.com SIP/2.0
From: <sip:me@example.com>
To: <sip:you@example.com>
...
EOS
# show and manipulate some header
print "callid=".$invite->get_header( 'call-id' )."\n";
print "route=".join( ",", $invite->get_header( 'route' ))."\n";
$invite->set_header( 'via' => [ $via1,$via2,.. ] );
# get resulting string representation
print $invite->as_string;
# create packet from parts
my $resp = Net::SIP::Packet->new(
200, 'Ok',
{ to => '<sip:you@example.com>', from => '<sip:me@example.com>',.. }
Net::SIP::SDP->new(...)
);
# and get the packet as string
print $resp->as_string;
CONSTRUCTOR
new ( STRING | @PARTS )
This is the default constructor. Depending on the number of arguments branches into new_from_string
or new_from_parts.
new_from_string ( STRING )
Interprets STRING as a SIP request or response and creates Net::SIP::Request or Net::SIP::Response
object accordingly. Will die() if it cannot parse the string as a SIP packet.
new_from_parts ( CODE|METHOD, TEXT|URI, \%HEADER|\@HEADER, [ BODY ] )
If CODE|METHOD is numeric a Net::SIP::Response object will be created with the response code CODE and
the text TEXT. Otherwise a Net::SIP::Request object will be created with the method METHOD and the
uri URI.
Header data can be given as a hash %HEADER or array @HEADER reference. In case of a hash the key is
the SIP field name and the value as either a string or a \@list of strings. The fields on the
resulting SIP packet will be sorted by name of the fields and fields with multiple values will be
created as seperat lines.
If the header is given as an array the elements of the array are "[ key => value ]" pairs where the
keys are the field names and the values are strings or \@list of strings. Each pair will result in a
single line in the SIP header. If the value was a list reference the values in the list will be
concatened by ','. The order of the fields in the resulting SIP packet will be the same as in the
array.
The BODY is optional and can be given either as a string or as an reference to an object which has a
method as_string, like Net::SIP::SDP. If the BODY is an object which has a method content_type it
will set the "content-type" header of the SIP object based on the result of "BODY->content_type"
unless a "content-type" header was explicitly given.
METHODS
is_request
Returns TRUE if the SIP packet is a request, otherwise FALSE.
is_response
Returns TRUE if the SIP packet is a response, otherwise FALSE.
tid Returns a transaction ID created from the sequence number in the "CSeq" header and the "Call-Id"
header. All packets with the same tid belong to the same transaction.
cseq
Returns "CSeq" header. Short for "$self->get_header( 'cseq' )".
callid
Returns "Call-Id" header. Short for "$self->get_header( 'call-id' )".
get_header ( [ NAME ] )
If NAME is given it returns the SIP header for NAME. If no header exists returns (). If there is only
one value for the header returns this value. In case of multiple values it returns a @list of all
values, but if "wantarray" says, that the caller expects only a single value it will "croak()".
If no NAME is given it will return a reference to a hash wich contains all fields and has the format
described in new_from_parts.
add_header ( NAME, VAL )
Adds the header at the end of the SIP header. VAL can be a string or a reference to a list of
strings.
insert_header ( NAME, VAL )
Like add_header, but the lines will be added on top of the header.
del_header ( NAME )
Delete all lines from header where the field name is NAME.
set_header ( NAME, VAL )
Replaces an existing header, like del_header followed by add_header.
set_body ( VAL )
Sets body to VAL, which can be string or object. The handling for body objects see new_from_parts.
as_string
Returns string representation of SIP packet.
dump ( [ LEVEL ] )
Returns dump of packet as string for debugging. The higher LEVEL is the more details one gets. At the
moment a LEVEL of 0 gets a one-line summary and the rest the result from as_string.
as_parts
Returns Array with CODE|METHOD, TEXT|URI, \@HEADER and BODY like used in new_from_parts.
sdp_body
Returns body as Net::SIP::SDP object if there is a body and the content-type is 'application/sdp' or
empty.
If body contains invalid SDP it raises an exception (e.g. die()).
