URI::data - URI that contain immediate data
use URI; $u = URI->new("data:"); $u->media_type("image/gif"); $u->data(scalar(`cat camel.gif`)); print "$u\n"; open(XV, "|xv -") and print XV $u->data;
The URI::data class supports URI objects belonging to the data URI scheme. The data URI scheme is specified in RFC 2397. It allows inclusion of small data items as "immediate" data, as if it had been included externally. Examples:
URI::data
URI
data:,Perl%20is%20good data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhIAAgAIAAAAAAAPj8+CwAAAAAI AAgAAAClYyPqcu9AJyCjtIKc5w5xP14xgeO2tlY3nWcajmZZdeJcG Kxrmimms1KMTa1Wg8UROx4MNUq1HrycMjHT9b6xKxaFLM6VRKzI+p KS9XtXpcbdun6uWVxJXA8pNPkdkkxhxc21LZHFOgD2KMoQXa2KMWI JtnE2KizVUkYJVZZ1nczBxXlFopZBtoJ2diXGdNUymmJdFMAADs=
URI objects belonging to the data scheme support the common methods (described in URI) and the following two scheme specific methods:
This method can be used to get or set the media type specified in the URI. If no media type is specified, then the default "text/plain;charset=US-ASCII" is returned.
"text/plain;charset=US-ASCII"
This method can be used to get or set the data contained in the URI. The data is passed unescaped (in binary form). The decision about whether to base64 encode the data in the URI is taken automatically based on what encoding produces the shortest URI string.
