NAME

Apache::*::Table - Table classes for Apache::Request, Apache::Upload, and Apache::Cookie.

SYNOPSIS

    my $table = Apache::Request::Table->new($r);
    $table->{test} = 1;
    $table->{foo} = "bar1";
    $table->add(foo => "bar2");

    {
        my $do_data = "";
        $table->do( sub { $do_data .= "@_,"; 1 } );
        ok $do_data eq "test 1,foo bar1,foo bar2,";
    }

DESCRIPTION

This manpage documents the Apache::*::Table classes provided by the Apache::Request, Apache::Upload, and Apache::Cookie modules. Table classes are all derived from APR::Table, however since the underlying values they contain are not simple character arrays, the merge, compress, and overlap methods from APR::Table are not implemented.

Apache::Request::Table

These tables arise as parameter tables generated by the args, body, and param methods of Apache::Request. Their values are representable by orinary perl scalars, but unlike APR::Table, the '\0' character may be safely embedded in a value without truncating it.

    my $table = Apache::Request::Table->new($r);
    my $value = "bar\0quux";
    $table->{foo} = $value;

Apache::Upload::Table

These tables arise from the Apache::Request::upload method (which is provided by Apache::Upload). Their values are Apache::Upload objects.

    my $upload = Apache::Upload->new($r, name => "foo", file => __FILE__);
    my $table = Apache::Upload::Table->new($r);
    $table->add($upload);
    $upload = $table->{foo};

Apache::Cookie::Table

These tables arise from the cookies method of Apache::Cookie::Jar, and their values are Apache::Cookie objects (or Apache::Cookie derived objects- see the discussion of VALUE_CLASS in Apache::Cookie).

    my $cookie = Apache::Cookie->new($r, name =>"foo", value => "bar");
    my $table = Apache::Cookie::Table->new($r);
    $table->{foo} = $cookie;
    $cookie = $table->{foo};
