NAME

AnyEvent::FCP - freenet client protocol 2.0

SYNOPSIS

   use AnyEvent::FCP;

   my $fcp = new AnyEvent::FCP;

   # transactions return condvars
   my $lp_cv = $fcp->list_peers;
   my $pr_cv = $fcp->list_persistent_requests;

   my $peers = $lp_cv->recv;
   my $reqs  = $pr_cv->recv;

DESCRIPTION

This module implements the freenet client protocol version 2.0, as used by freenet 0.7. See Net::FCP for the earlier freenet 0.5 version.

See http://wiki.freenetproject.org/FreenetFCPSpec2Point0 for a description of what the messages do.

The module uses AnyEvent to find a suitable event module.

Only very little is implemented, ask if you need more, and look at the example program later in this section.

EXAMPLE

This example fetches the download list and sets the priority of all files with "a" in their name to "emergency":

   use AnyEvent::FCP;

   my $fcp = new AnyEvent::FCP;

   $fcp->watch_global_sync (1, 0);
   my $req = $fcp->list_persistent_requests_sync;

   for my $req (values %$req) {
      if ($req->{filename} =~ /a/) {
         $fcp->modify_persistent_request_sync (1, $req->{identifier}, undef, 0);
      }
   }

IMPORT TAGS

Nothing much can be "imported" from this module right now.

THE AnyEvent::FCP CLASS

$fcp = new AnyEvent::FCP [host => $host][, port => $port][, progress => \&cb][, name => $name]

Create a new FCP connection to the given host and port (default 127.0.0.1:9481, or the environment variables FREDHOST and FREDPORT).

If no name was specified, then AnyEvent::FCP will generate a (hopefully) unique client name for you.

You can install a progress callback that is being called with the AnyEvent::FCP object, the type, a hashref with key-value pairs and a reference to any received data, for all unsolicited messages.

Example:

   sub progress_cb {
      my ($self, $type, $kv, $rdata) = @_;

      if ($type eq "simple_progress") {
         warn "$kv->{identifier} $kv->{succeeded}/$kv->{required}\n";
      }
   }

$cv = $fcp->list_peers ([$with_metdata[, $with_volatile]])

$peers = $fcp->list_peers_sync ([$with_metdata[, $with_volatile]])

$cv = $fcp->list_peer_notes ($node_identifier)

$notes = $fcp->list_peer_notes_sync ($node_identifier)

$cv = $fcp->watch_global ($enabled[, $verbosity_mask])

$fcp->watch_global_sync ($enabled[, $verbosity_mask])

$cv = $fcp->list_persistent_requests

$reqs = $fcp->list_persistent_requests_sync

$cv = $fcp->remove_request ($global, $identifier)

$status = $fcp->remove_request_sync ($global, $identifier)

$cv = $fcp->modify_persistent_request ($global, $identifier[, $client_token[, $priority_class]])

$sync = $fcp->modify_persistent_request_sync ($global, $identifier[, $client_token[, $priority_class]])

$cv = $fcp->get_plugin_info ($name, $detailed)

$info = $fcp->get_plugin_info_sync ($name, $detailed)

$cv = $fcp->client_get ($uri, $identifier, %kv)

$status = $fcp->client_get_sync ($uri, $identifier, %kv)

%kv can contain (http://wiki.freenetproject.org/FCP2p0ClientGet).

ignore_ds, ds_only, verbosity, max_size, max_temp_size, max_retries, priority_class, persistence, client_token, global, return_type, binary_blob, allowed_mime_types, filename, temp_filename

EXAMPLE PROGRAM

   use AnyEvent::FCP;

   my $fcp = new AnyEvent::FCP;

   # let us look at the global request list
   $fcp->watch_global (1, 0);

   # list them, synchronously
   my $req = $fcp->list_persistent_requests_sync;

   # go through all requests
   for my $req (values %$req) {
      # skip jobs not directly-to-disk
      next unless $req->{return_type} eq "disk";
      # skip jobs not issued by FProxy
      next unless $req->{identifier} =~ /^FProxy:/;

      if ($req->{data_found}) {
         # file has been successfully downloaded
         
         ... move the file away
         (left as exercise)

         # remove the request

         $fcp->remove_request (1, $req->{identifier});
      } elsif ($req->{get_failed}) {
         # request has failed
         if ($req->{get_failed}{code} == 11) {
            # too many path components, should restart
         } else {
            # other failure
         }
      } else {
         # modify priorities randomly, to improve download rates
         $fcp->modify_persistent_request (1, $req->{identifier}, undef, int 6 - 5 * (rand) ** 1.7)
            if 0.1 > rand;
      }
   }

   # see if the dummy plugin is loaded, to ensure all previous requests have finished.
   $fcp->get_plugin_info_sync ("dummy");
