Net::XMPP::IQ - XMPP Info/Query Module

NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION METHODS General functions Retrieval functions Creation functions Removal functions Test functions AUTHOR COPYRIGHT

SYNOPSIS

Net::XMPP::IQ is a companion to the Net::XMPP module. It
provides the user a simple interface to set and retrieve all
parts of an XMPP IQ.

Net::XMPP::IQ differs from the other Net::XMPP::* modules in that
the XMLNS of the query is split out into a submodule under
IQ. For specifics on each module please view the documentation
for the Net::XMPP::Namespaces module.
A Net::XMPP::IQ object is passed to the callback function for the
message. Also, the first argument to the callback functions is the
session ID from XML::Stream. There are some cases where you might
want this information, like if you created a Client that connects to
two servers at once, or for writing a mini server.
use Net::XMPP;
sub iq {
my ($sid,$IQ) = @_;
.
.
my $reply = $IQ−>Reply();
my $replyQuery−>GetQuery();
.
}
You now have access to all of the retrieval functions available.
To create a new iq to send to the server:
use Net::XMPP;
$IQ = Net::XMPP::IQ−>new();
$IQType = $IQ−>NewChild( type );
$IQType−>SetXXXXX("yyyyy");
Now you can call the creation functions for the IQ, and for the
<query/> on the new query object itself. See below for the <iq/>
functions, and in each query module for those functions.

METHODS

General functions

Reply(%args) − Creates a return <iq/> with the to and from
filled in correctly, and a query object already
added in. The %args that you pass are passed
to SetIQ() and will overwrite the IQ settings
that Reply sets.

Retrieval functions

GetTo() − returns either a string with the JID, or a
GetTo("jid") Net::XMPP::JID object for the person who is
going to receive the <iq/>. To get the JID
object set the string to "jid", otherwise leave
blank for the text string.
$to = $IQ−>GetTo();
$toJID = $IQ−>GetTo("jid");
GetFrom() − returns either a string with the JID, or a
GetFrom("jid") Net::XMPP::JID object for the person who
sent the <iq/>. To get the JID object set
the string to "jid", otherwise leave blank for the
text string.
$from = $IQ−>GetFrom();
$fromJID = $IQ−>GetFrom("jid");
GetType() − returns a string with the type <iq/> this is.
$type = $IQ−>GetType();
GetID() − returns an integer with the id of the <iq/>.
$id = $IQ−>GetID();
GetError() − returns a string with the text description of the error.
$error = $IQ−>GetError();
GetErrorCode() − returns a string with the code of error.
$errorCode = $IQ−>GetErrorCode();
GetQuery() − returns a Net::XMPP::Stanza object that contains the data
in the query of the <iq/>. Basically, it returns the
first child in the <iq/>.
$query = $IQ−>GetQuery();
GetQueryXMLNS() − returns a string with the namespace of the query
for this <iq/>, if one exists.
$xmlns = $IQ−>GetQueryXMLNS();

Creation functions

SetIQ(to=>string|JID, − set multiple fields in the <iq/> at one
from=>string|JID, time. This is a cumulative and over
id=>string, writing action. If you set the "to"
type=>string, attribute twice, the second setting is
errorcode=>string, what is used. If you set the status, and
error=>string) then set the priority then both will be in
the <iq/> tag. For valid settings read the
specific Set functions below.
$IQ−>SetIQ(type=>"get",
to=>"bob\@jabber.org");
$IQ−>SetIQ(to=>"bob\@jabber.org",
errorcode=>403,
error=>"Permission Denied");
SetTo(string) − sets the to attribute. You can either pass a string
SetTo(JID) or a JID object. They must be a valid Jabber
Identifiers or the server will return an error message.
(ie. [email protected], etc...)
$IQ−>SetTo("bob\@jabber.org");
SetFrom(string) − sets the from attribute. You can either pass a
SetFrom(JID) string or a JID object. They must be a valid JIDs
or the server will return an error message.
(ie. [email protected], etc...)
$IQ−>SetFrom("me\@jabber.org");
SetType(string) − sets the type attribute. Valid settings are:
get request information
set set information
result results of a get
error there was an error
$IQ−>SetType("set");
SetErrorCode(string) − sets the error code of the <iq/>.
$IQ−>SetErrorCode(403);
SetError(string) − sets the error string of the <iq/>.
$IQ−>SetError("Permission Denied");
NewChild(string) − creates a new Net::XMPP::Stanza object with the
namespace in the string. In order for this
function to work with a custom namespace, you
must define and register that namespace with the
IQ module. For more information please read the
documentation for Net::XMPP::Stanza.
$queryObj = $IQ−>NewChild("jabber:iq:auth");
$queryObj = $IQ−>NewChild("jabber:iq:roster");
Reply(hash) − creates a new IQ object and populates the to/from
fields. If you specify a hash the same as with SetIQ
then those values will override the Reply values.
$iqReply = $IQ−>Reply();
$iqReply = $IQ−>Reply(type=>"result");

Removal functions

RemoveTo() − removes the to attribute from the <iq/>.
$IQ−>RemoveTo();
RemoveFrom() − removes the from attribute from the <iq/>.
$IQ−>RemoveFrom();
RemoveID() − removes the id attribute from the <iq/>.
$IQ−>RemoveID();
RemoveType() − removes the type attribute from the <iq/>.
$IQ−>RemoveType();
RemoveError() − removes the <error/> element from the <iq/>.
$IQ−>RemoveError();
RemoveErrorCode() − removes the code attribute from the <error/>
element in the <iq/>.
$IQ−>RemoveErrorCode();

Test functions

DefinedTo() − returns 1 if the to attribute is defined in the <iq/>,
0 otherwise.
$test = $IQ−>DefinedTo();
DefinedFrom() − returns 1 if the from attribute is defined in the
<iq/>, 0 otherwise.
$test = $IQ−>DefinedFrom();
DefinedID() − returns 1 if the id attribute is defined in the <iq/>,
0 otherwise.
$test = $IQ−>DefinedID();
DefinedType() − returns 1 if the type attribute is defined in the
<iq/>, 0 otherwise.
$test = $IQ−>DefinedType();
DefinedError() − returns 1 if <error/> is defined in the <iq/>,
0 otherwise.
$test = $IQ−>DefinedError();
DefinedErrorCode() − returns 1 if the code attribute is defined in
<error/>, 0 otherwise.
$test = $IQ−>DefinedErrorCode();
DefinedQuery() − returns 1 if there is at least one namespaced
child in the object.
