NAME

Net::IMP::Adaptor::STREAM2HTTPConn - translate IMP_DATA_STREAM data type to HTTP connection data types

SYNOPSIS

    # use automatically
    package myHTTP_IMP_Plugin;
    use base 'Net::IMP';
    sub INTERFACE { return (
        [ IMP_DATA_HTTP, \@rtypes ],
        # automatically insert adaptor if we need to use stream data
        [ IMP_DATA_STREAM, \@rtypes, 'Net::IMP::Adaptor::STREAM2HTTPConn' ],
    )}

    # or by hand
    my $stream_factory = Net::IMP::Adaptor::STREAM2HTTPConn->new_factory;
    my $http_factory = Net::IMP::HTTP::someAnalyzer->new_factory;
    # this will create inner analyzer by calling $http_factory->new_analyzer
    my $analyzer = $stream_factory->new_analyzer(
        factory => $http_factory
    );

DESCRIPTION

This module translates between IMP_DATA_STREAM data type and HTTP connection specific data types as defined in Net::IMP::HTTP by interpreting the stream as HTTP requests with the help of Net::Inspect::L7::HTTP.

It works like a normal IMP plugin understanding only IMP_DATA_STREAM types. new_analyzer gets an argument factory with the factory object for the inner analyzer.
