ABSTRACT

Resolve an XRI to a LocalAccess URL or an XRIAuthority Descriptor

DESCRIPTION

The XRI Resolver Library resolves an XRI to a LocalAccess URL or an XRIAuthority Descriptor. It can also be used to actually fetch the data at the LocalAccess URL.

FATAL ERROR STRINGS

These strings are returned via die() so trap them by running library calls within an eval{} block $@ will be set to the error code, if any.

            

              
              
RelativePathNotXRIAuthority for passed service or type
URIAuthorityNotXRIAuthority for passed service or type
UnknownAuthority: $subseg
NoDescriptorXML for $url
MalformedXRIDescriptor for $url
NoLocalAccessFound for XRI $self->{xri}
            
          

BUGS

• Doesn't handle multiple LocalAccess URIs

• Doesn't parse cross references properly
