=head1 NAME

Apache::TestRequest - Send requests to your Apache test server

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Apache::Test qw(ok have_lwp);
  use Apache::TestRequest qw(GET POST);
  use Apache::Constants qw(HTTP_OK);

  plan tests => 1, have_lwp;

  my $res = GET '/test.html';
  ok $res->code == HTTP_OK, "Request is ok";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<Apache::TestRequest> provides convenience functions to allow you to
make requests to your Apache test server in your test scripts. It
subclasses C<LWP::UserAgent>, so that you have access to all if its
methods, but also exports a number of useful functions likely useful
for majority of your test requests. Users of the old C<Apache::test>
(or C<Apache::testold>) module, take note! Herein lie most of the
functions you'll need to use to replace C<Apache::test> in your test
suites.

Each of the functions exported by C<Apache::TestRequest> uses an
C<LWP::UserAgent> object to submit the request and retrieve its
results. The return value for many of these functions is an
HTTP::Response object. See L<HTTP::Response|HTTP::Response> for
documentation of its methods, which you can use in your tests. For
example, use the C<code()> and C<content()> methods to test the
response code and content of your request. Using C<GET>, you can
perform a couple of tests using these methods like this:

  use Apache::Test qw(ok have_lwp);
  use Apache::TestRequest qw(GET POST);
  use Apache::Constants qw(HTTP_OK);

  plan tests => 2, have_lwp;

  my $uri = "/test.html?foo=1&bar=2";
  my $res = GET $uri;
  ok $res->code == HTTP_OK, "Check that the request was OK";
  ok $res->content eq "foo => 1, bar => 2", "Check its content";

Note that you can also use C<Apache::TestRequest> with
C<Test::Builder> and its derivatives, including C<Test::More>:

  use Test::More;
  # ...
  is $res->code, HTTP_OK, "Check that the request was OK";
  is $res->content, "foo => 1, bar => 2", "Check its content";

=head1 CONFIGURATION FUNCTION

You can tell C<Apache::TestRequest> what kind of C<LWP::UserAgent>
object to use for its convenience functions with C<user_agent()>. This
function uses its arguments to construct an internal global
C<LWP::UserAgent> object that will be used for all subsequent requests
made by the convenience functions. The arguments it takes are the same
as for the C<LWP::UserAgent> constructor. See the
C<L<LWP::UserAgent|LWP::UserAgent>> documentation for a complete list.

The C<user_agent()> function only creates the internal
C<LWP::UserAgent> object the first time it is called. Since this
function is called internally by C<Apache::TestRequest>, you should
always use the C<reset> parameter to force it to create a new global
C<LWP::UserAgent> Object:

  Apache::TestRequest::user_agent(reset => 1, %params);

C<user_agent()> differs from C<< LWP::UserAgent->new >> in two
additional ways. First, it supports an additional parameter,
C<keep_alive>, which enables connection persistence, where the same
connection is used to process multiple requests (and, according to the
C<L<LWP::UserAgent|LWP::UserAgent>> documentation, has the effect of
loading and enabling the new experimental HTTP/1.1 protocol module).

And finally, the semantics of the C<requests_redirectable> parameter is
different than for C<LWP::UserAgent> in that you can pass it a boolean
value as well as an array for C<LWP::UserAgent>. To force
C<Apache::TestRequest> not to follow redirects in any of its convenience
functions, pass a false value to C<requests_redirectable>:

  Apache::TestRequest::user_agent(reset => 1,
                                  requests_redirectable => 0);

If LWP is not installed, then you can still pass in an array reference
as C<LWP::UserAgent> expects. C<Apache::TestRequest> will examine the
array and allow redirects if the array contains more than one value or
if there is only one value and that value is not "POST":

  # Always allow redirection.
  my $redir = have_lwp ? [qw(GET HEAD POST)] : 1;
  Apache::TestRequest::user_agent(reset => 1,
                                  requests_redirectable => $redir);

=head1 FUNCTIONS

C<Apache::TestRequest> exports a number of functions that will likely
prove convenient for use in the majority of your request tests.

=head2 Optional Parameters

Each function also takes a number of optional arguments.

=over 4

=item redirect_ok

By default a request will follow redirects retrieved from the server. To
prevent this behavior, pass a false value to a C<redirect_ok>
parameter:

  my $res = GET $uri, redirect_ok => 0;

Alternately, if all of your tests need to disable redirects, tell
C<Apache::TestRequest> to use an C<LWP::UserAgent> object that
disables redirects:

  Apache::TestRequest::user_agent( reset => 1,
                                   requests_redirectable => 0 );

=item cert

If you need to force an SSL request to use a particular SSL
certificate, pass the name of the certificate via the C<cert>
parameter:

  my $res = GET $uri, cert => 'my_cert';

=item content

If you need to add content to your request, use the C<content>
parameter:

  my $res = GET $uri, content => 'hello world!';

=item filename

The name of a local file on the file system to be sent to the Apache
test server via C<UPLOAD()> and its friends.

=back

=head2 The Functions

=head3 GET

  my $res = GET $uri;

Sends a simple GET request to the Apache test server. Returns an
C<HTTP::Response> object.

=head3 GET_STR

A shortcut function for C<GET($uri)-E<gt>as_string>.

=head3 GET_BODY

A shortcut function for C<GET($uri)-E<gt>content>.

=head3 GET_BODY_ASSERT

Use this function when your test is outputting content that you need
to check, and you want to make sure that the request was successful
before comparing the contents of the request. If the request was
unsuccessful, C<GET_BODY_ASSERT> will return an error
message. Otherwise it will simply return the content of the request
just as C<GET_BODY> would.

=head3 GET_OK

A shortcut function for C<GET($uri)-E<gt>is_success>.

=head3 GET_RC

A shortcut function for C<GET($uri)-E<gt>code>.

=head3 GET_HEAD

Throws out the content of the request, and returns the string
representation of the request. Since the body has been thrown out, the
representation will consist solely of the headers. Furthermore,
C<GET_HEAD> inserts a "#" at the beginning of each line of the return
string, so that the contents are suitable for printing to STDERR
during your tests without interfering with the workings of
C<Test::Harness>.

=head3 HEAD

  my $res = HEAD $uri;

Sends a HEAD request to the Apache test server. Returns an
C<HTTP::Response> object.

=head3 HEAD_STR

A shortcut function for C<HEAD($uri)-E<gt>as_string>.

=head3 HEAD_BODY

A shortcut function for C<HEAD($uri)-E<gt>content>. Of course, this
means that it will likely return nothing.

=head3 HEAD_BODY_ASSERT

Use this function when your test is outputting content that you need
to check, and you want to make sure that the request was successful
before comparing the contents of the request. If the request was
unsuccessful, C<HEAD_BODY_ASSERT> will return an error
message. Otherwise it will simply return the content of the request
just as C<HEAD_BODY> would.

=head3 HEAD_OK

A shortcut function for C<GET($uri)-E<gt>is_success>.

=head3 HEAD_RC

A shortcut function for C<GET($uri)-E<gt>code>.

=head3 HEAD_HEAD

Throws out the content of the request, and returns the string
representation of the request. Since the body has been thrown out, the
representation will consist solely of the headers. Furthermore,
C<GET_HEAD> inserts a "#" at the beginning of each line of the return
string, so that the contents are suitable for printing to STDERR
during your tests without interfering with the workings of
C<Test::Harness>.

=head3 PUT

  my $res = PUT $uri;

Sends a simple PUT request to the Apache test server. Returns an
C<HTTP::Response> object.

=head3 PUT_STR

A shortcut function for C<PUT($uri)-E<gt>as_string>.

=head3 PUT_BODY

A shortcut function for C<PUT($uri)-E<gt>content>.

=head3 PUT_BODY_ASSERT

Use this function when your test is outputting content that you need
to check, and you want to make sure that the request was successful
before comparing the contents of the request. If the request was
unsuccessful, C<PUT_BODY_ASSERT> will return an error
message. Otherwise it will simply return the content of the request
just as C<PUT_BODY> would.

=head3 PUT_OK

A shortcut function for C<PUT($uri)-E<gt>is_success>.

=head3 PUT_RC

A shortcut function for C<PUT($uri)-E<gt>code>.

=head3 PUT_HEAD

Throws out the content of the request, and returns the string
representation of the request. Since the body has been thrown out, the
representation will consist solely of the headers. Furthermore,
C<PUT_HEAD> inserts a "#" at the beginning of each line of the return
string, so that the contents are suitable for printing to STDERR
during your tests without interfering with the workings of
C<Test::Harness>.

=head3 POST

  my $res = POST $uri, [ arg => $val, arg2 => $val ];

Sends a POST request to the Apache test server and returns an
C<HTTP::Response> object. An array reference of parameters passed as
the second argument will be submitted to the Apache test server as the
POST content. Parameters corresponding to those documented in
L<Optional Parameters|/Optional
Parameters> can follow the optional array reference of parameters, or after
C<$uri>.

To upload a chunk of data, simply use:

  my $res = POST $uri, content => $data;

=head3 POST_STR

A shortcut function for C<POST($uri, @args)-E<gt>content>.

=head3 POST_BODY

A shortcut function for C<POST($uri, @args)-E<gt>content>.

=head3 POST_BODY_ASSERT

Use this function when your test is outputting content that you need
to check, and you want to make sure that the request was successful
before comparing the contents of the request. If the request was
unsuccessful, C<POST_BODY_ASSERT> will return an error
message. Otherwise it will simply return the content of the request
just as C<POST_BODY> would.

=head3 POST_OK

A shortcut function for C<POST($uri, @args)-E<gt>is_success>.

=head3 POST_RC

A shortcut function for C<POST($uri, @args)-E<gt>code>.

=head3 POST_HEAD

Throws out the content of the request, and returns the string
representation of the request. Since the body has been thrown out, the
representation will consist solely of the headers. Furthermore,
C<POST_HEAD> inserts a "#" at the beginning of each line of the return
string, so that the contents are suitable for printing to STDERR
during your tests without interfering with the workings of
C<Test::Harness>.

=head3 UPLOAD

  my $res = UPLOAD $uri, \@args, filename => $filename;

Sends a request to the Apache test server that includes an uploaded
file. Other POST parameters can be passed as a second argument as an
array reference.

C<Apache::TestRequest> will read in the contents of the file named via
the C<filename> parameter for submission to the server. If you'd
rather, you can submit use the C<content> parameter instead of
C<filename>, and its value will be submitted to the Apache server as
file contents:

  my $res = UPLOAD $uri, undef, content => "This is file content";

The name of the file sent to the server will simply be "b". Note that
in this case, you cannot pass other POST arguments to C<UPLOAD()> --
they would be ignored.

=head3 UPLOAD_BODY

A shortcut function for C<UPLOAD($uri, @params)-E<gt>content>.

=head3 UPLOAD_BODY_ASSERT

Use this function when your test is outputting content that you need
to check, and you want to make sure that the request was successful
before comparing the contents of the request. If the request was
unsuccessful, C<UPLOAD_BODY_ASSERT> will return an error
message. Otherwise it will simply return the content of the request
just as C<UPLOAD_BODY> would.

=head3 OPTIONS

  my $res = OPTIONS $uri;

Sends an C<OPTIONS> request to the Apache test server. Returns an
C<HTTP::Response> object with the I<Allow> header, indicating which
methods the server supports. Possible methods include C<OPTIONS>,
C<GET>, C<HEAD> and C<POST>. This function thus can be useful for
testing what options the Apache server supports. Consult the HTTPD 1.1
specification, section 9.2, at
I<http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html> for more information.

=head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

The following environment variables can affect the behavior of
C<Apache::TestRequest>:

=over

=item APACHE_TEST_PRETEND_NO_LWP

If the environment variable C<APACHE_TEST_PRETEND_NO_LWP> is set to a
true value, C<Apache::TestRequest> will pretend that LWP is not
available so one can test whether the test suite will survive on a
system which doesn't have libwww-perl installed.

=item APACHE_TEST_HTTP_09_OK

If the environment variable C<APACHE_TEST_HTTP_09_OK> is set to a
true value, C<Apache::TestRequest> will allow HTTP/0.9 responses
from the server to proceed.  The default behavior is to die if
the response protocol is not either HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1.
