=head1 NAME

MIME::Head - MIME message header (a subclass of Mail::Header)


=head1 SYNOPSIS

Before reading further, you should see L to make sure that
you understand where this module fits into the grand scheme of things.
Go on, do it now.  I'll wait.

Ready?  Ok...

=head2 Construction

    ### Create a new, empty header, and populate it manually:
    $head = MIME::Head->new;
    $head->replace('content-type', 'text/plain; charset=US-ASCII');
    $head->replace('content-length', $len);

    ### Parse a new header from a filehandle:
    $head = MIME::Head->read(\*STDIN);

    ### Parse a new header from a file, or a readable pipe:
    $testhead = MIME::Head->from_file("/tmp/test.hdr");
    $a_b_head = MIME::Head->from_file("cat a.hdr b.hdr |");


=head2 Output

    ### Output to filehandle:
    $head->print(\*STDOUT);

    ### Output as string:
    print STDOUT $head->as_string;
    print STDOUT $head->stringify;


=head2 Getting field contents

    ### Is this a reply?
    $is_reply = 1 if ($head->get('Subject') =~ /^Re: /);

    ### Get receipt information:
    print "Last received from: ", $head->get('Received', 0);
    @all_received = $head->get('Received');

    ### Print the subject, or the empty string if none:
    print "Subject: ", $head->get('Subject',0);

    ### Too many hops?  Count 'em and see!
    if ($head->count('Received') > 5) { ...

    ### Test whether a given field exists
    warn "missing subject!" if (! $head->count('subject'));


=head2 Setting field contents

    ### Declare this to be an HTML header:
    $head->replace('Content-type', 'text/html');


=head2 Manipulating field contents

    ### Get rid of internal newlines in fields:
    $head->unfold;

    ### Decode any Q- or B-encoded-text in fields (DEPRECATED):
    $head->decode;


=head2 Getting high-level MIME information

    ### Get/set a given MIME attribute:
    unless ($charset = $head->mime_attr('content-type.charset')) {
        $head->mime_attr("content-type.charset" => "US-ASCII");
    }

    ### The content type (e.g., "text/html"):
    $mime_type     = $head->mime_type;

    ### The content transfer encoding (e.g., "quoted-printable"):
    $mime_encoding = $head->mime_encoding;

    ### The recommended name when extracted:
    $file_name     = $head->recommended_filename;

    ### The boundary text, for multipart messages:
    $boundary      = $head->multipart_boundary;


=head1 DESCRIPTION

A class for parsing in and manipulating RFC-822 message headers, with
some methods geared towards standard (and not so standard) MIME fields
as specified in the various I
RFCs (starting with RFC 2045)

#------------------------------


#------------------------------

=item new [ARG],[OPTIONS]

I
Creates a new header object.  Arguments are the same as those in the
superclass.

=cut

sub new {
    my $class = shift;
    bless Mail::Header->new(@_), $class;
}

#------------------------------

=item from_file EXPR,OPTIONS

I.
For convenience, you can use this to parse a header object in from EXPR,
which may actually be any expression that can be sent to open() so as to
return a readable filehandle.  The "file" will be opened, read, and then
closed:

    ### Create a new header by parsing in a file:
    my $head = MIME::Head->from_file("/tmp/test.hdr");

Since this method can function as either a class constructor I
an instance initializer, the above is exactly equivalent to:

    ### Create a new header by parsing in a file:
    my $head = MIME::Head->new->from_file("/tmp/test.hdr");

On success, the object will be returned; on failure, the undefined value.

The OPTIONS are the same as in new(), and are passed into new()
if this is invoked as a class method.

B This is really just a convenience front-end onto C,
provided mostly for backwards-compatibility with MIME-parser 1.0.

=cut

sub from_file {
    my ($self, $file, @opts) = @_; ### at this point, $self is inst. or class!
    my $class = ref($self) ? ref($self) : $self;

    ### Parse:
    my $fh = IO::File->new($file, '<') or return error("open $file: $!");
    $fh->binmode() or return error("binmode $file: $!");  # we expect to have \r\n at line ends, and want to keep 'em.
    $self = $class->new($fh, @opts);      ### now, $self is instance or undef
    $fh->close or return error("close $file: $!");
    $self;
}

#------------------------------

=item read FILEHANDLE

I
This initializes a header object by reading it in from a FILEHANDLE,
until the terminating blank line is encountered.
A syntax error or end-of-stream will also halt processing.

Supply this routine with a reference to a filehandle glob; e.g., C<\*STDIN>:

    ### Create a new header by parsing in STDIN:
    $head->read(\*STDIN);

On success, the self object will be returned; on failure, a false value.

B in the MIME world, it is perfectly legal for a header to be
empty, consisting of nothing but the terminating blank line.  Thus,
we can't just use the formula that "no tags equals error".

B as of the time of this writing, Mail::Header::read did not flag
either syntax errors or unexpected end-of-file conditions (an EOF
before the terminating blank line).  MIME::ParserBase takes this
into account.

=cut

sub read {
    my $self = shift;      ### either instance or class!
    ref($self) or $self = $self->new;    ### if used as class method, make new
    $self->SUPER::read(@_);
}

=head2 Getting/setting fields

The following are methods related to retrieving and modifying the header
fields.  Some are inherited from Mail::Header, but I've kept the
documentation around for convenience.

=over 4

=cut

#------------------------------


#------------------------------

=item add TAG,TEXT,[INDEX]

I
Add a new occurrence of the field named TAG, given by TEXT:

    ### Add the trace information:
    $head->add('Received',
               'from eryq.pr.mcs.net by gonzo.net with smtp');

Normally, the new occurrence will be I to the existing
occurrences.  However, if the optional INDEX argument is 0, then the
new occurrence will be I.  If you want to be I
about appending, specify an INDEX of -1.

B: this method always adds new occurrences; it doesn't overwrite
any existing occurrences... so if you just want to I the value
of a field (creating it if necessary), then you probably B want to use
this method: consider using C instead.

=cut

### Inherited.

#------------------------------
#
# copy
#
# Instance method, DEPRECATED.
# Duplicate the object.
#
sub copy {
    usage "deprecated: use dup() instead.";
    shift->dup(@_);
}

#------------------------------

=item count TAG

I
Returns the number of occurrences of a field; in a boolean context, this
tells you whether a given field exists:

    ### Was a "Subject:" field given?
    $subject_was_given = $head->count('subject');

The TAG is treated in a case-insensitive manner.
This method returns some false value if the field doesn't exist,
and some true value if it does.

=cut

### Inherited.


#------------------------------

=item decode [FORCE]

I
Go through all the header fields, looking for RFC 1522 / RFC 2047 style
"Q" (quoted-printable, sort of) or "B" (base64) encoding, and decode
them in-place.  Fellow Americans, you probably don't know what the hell
I'm talking about.  Europeans, Russians, et al, you probably do.
C<:-)>.

B
See L for the full reasons.
If you absolutely must use it and don't like the warning, then
provide a FORCE:

   "I_NEED_TO_FIX_THIS"
          Just shut up and do it.  Not recommended.
          Provided only for those who need to keep old scripts functioning.

   "I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING"
          Just shut up and do it.  Not recommended.
          Provided for those who REALLY know what they are doing.

B
For an example, let's consider a valid email header you might get:

    From: =?US-ASCII?Q?Keith_Moore?=
    To: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Keld_J=F8rn_Simonsen?=
    CC: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Andr=E9_?= Pirard
    Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?B?SWYgeW91IGNhbiByZWFkIHRoaXMgeW8=?=
     =?ISO-8859-2?B?dSB1bmRlcnN0YW5kIHRoZSBleGFtcGxlLg==?=
     =?US-ASCII?Q?.._cool!?=

That basically decodes to (sorry, I can only approximate the
Latin characters with 7 bit sequences /o and 'e):

    From: Keith Moore
    To: Keld J/orn Simonsen
    CC: Andr'e  Pirard
    Subject: If you can read this you understand the example... cool!

B currently, the decodings are done without regard to the
character set: thus, the Q-encoding C<=F8> is simply translated to the
octet (hexadecimal C), period.  For piece-by-piece decoding
of a given field, you want the array context of
C.

B the CRLF+SPACE separator that splits up long encoded words
into shorter sequences (see the Subject: example above) gets lost
when the field is unfolded, and so decoding after unfolding causes
a spurious space to be left in the field.
I

This method returns the self object.

    }
    $self->{MH_Decoded} = 1;

#------------------------------

=item delete TAG,[INDEX]

I
Delete all occurrences of the field named TAG.

    ### Remove some MIME information:
    $head->delete('MIME-Version');
    $head->delete('Content-type');

=cut

}

#------------------------------

=item get TAG,[INDEX]

I
Get the contents of field TAG.

If a B is given, returns the occurrence at that index,
or undef if not present:

    ### Print the first and last 'Received:' entries (explicitly):
    print "First, or most recent: ", $head->get('received', 0);
    print "Last, or least recent: ", $head->get('received',-1);

If B is given, but invoked in a B context, then
INDEX simply defaults to 0:

    ### Get the first 'Received:' entry (implicitly):
    my $most_recent = $head->get('received');

If B is given, and invoked in an B context, then
I occurrences of the field are returned:

    ### Get all 'Received:' entries:
    my @all_received = $head->get('received');

B: The header(s) returned may end with a newline.  If you don't
want this, then B the return value.

=cut

### Inherited.


#------------------------------

=item get_all FIELD

I
Returns the list of I occurrences of the field, or the
empty list if the field is not present:

    ### How did it get here?
    @history = $head->get_all('Received');

B I had originally experimented with having C return all
occurrences when invoked in an array context... but that causes a lot of
accidents when you get careless and do stuff like this:

    print "\u$field: ", $head->get($field);

It also made the intuitive behaviour unclear if the INDEX argument
was given in an array context.  So I opted for an explicit approach
to asking for all occurrences.

=cut

sub get_all {
    my ($self, $tag) = @_;
    $self->count($tag) or return ();          ### empty if doesn't exist
    ($self->get($tag));
}

#
# Instance method, DEPRECATED.
# Return an approximation of the original text.
#
sub original_text {
    usage "deprecated: use stringify() instead";
    shift->stringify(@_);
}

#------------------------------

=item print [OUTSTREAM]

I
Print the header out to the given OUTSTREAM, or the currently-selected
filehandle if none.  The OUTSTREAM may be a filehandle, or any object
that responds to a print() message.

The override actually lets you print to any object that responds to
a print() method.  This is vital for outputting MIME entities to scalars.

Also, it defaults to the I filehandle if none is given
(not STDOUT!), so I supply a filehandle to prevent confusion.

=cut

sub print {
    my ($self, $fh) = @_;
    $fh ||= select;
    $fh->print($self->as_string);
}

#------------------------------
#
# set TAG,TEXT
#
# Instance method, DEPRECATED.
# Set the field named TAG to [the single occurrence given by the TEXT.
#
sub set {
    my $self = shift;
    usage "deprecated: use the replace() method instead.";
    $self->replace(@_);
}

#------------------------------

=item stringify

I
Return the header as a string.  You can also invoke it as C.

=cut

sub stringify {
    my $self = shift;          ### build clean header, and output...
    my @header = grep {defined($_) ? $_ : ()} @{$self->header};
    join "", map { /\n$/ ? $_ : "$_\n" } @header;
}
sub as_string { shift->stringify(@_) }

#------------------------------

=item unfold [FIELD]

I
Unfold (remove newlines in) the text of all occurrences of the given FIELD.
If the FIELD is omitted, I fields are unfolded.
Returns the "self" object.

=cut

### Inherited

=head2 MIME-specific methods

All of the following methods extract information from the following fields:

    Content-type
    Content-transfer-encoding
    Content-disposition

Be aware that they do not just return the raw contents of those fields,
and in some cases they will fill in sensible (I hope) default values.
Use C or C if you need to grab and process the
raw field text.

B some of these methods are provided both as a convenience and
for backwards-compatibility only, while others (like
recommended_filename()) I
properly,> since they look for their value in more than one field.
However, if you know that a value is restricted to a single
field, you should really use the Mail::Field interface to get it.

#
# params TAG
#
# Instance method, DEPRECATED.
# Extract parameter info from a structured field, and return
# it as a hash reference.  Provided for 1.0 compatibility only!
# Use the new MIME::Field interface classes (subclasses of Mail::Field).

sub params {
    my ($self, $tag) = @_;
    usage "deprecated: use the MIME::Field interface classes from now on!";
    return MIME::Field::ParamVal->parse_params($self->get($tag,0));
}

#------------------------------

=item mime_attr ATTR,[VALUE]

A quick-and-easy interface to set/get the attributes in structured
MIME fields:

    $head->mime_attr("content-type"         => "text/html");
    $head->mime_attr("content-type.charset" => "US-ASCII");
    $head->mime_attr("content-type.name"    => "homepage.html");

This would cause the final output to look something like this:

    Content-type: text/html; charset=US-ASCII; name="homepage.html"

Note that the special empty sub-field tag indicates the anonymous
first sub-field.

B will cause the contents of the named subfield
to be deleted:

    $head->mime_attr("content-type.charset" => undef);

B just returns the attribute's value,
or undefined if it isn't there:

    $type = $head->mime_attr("content-type");      ### text/html
    $name = $head->mime_attr("content-type.name"); ### homepage.html

In all cases, the new/current value is returned.

=cut

sub mime_attr {
    my ($self, $attr, $value) = @_;

    ### Break attribute name up:
    my ($tag, $subtag) = split /\./, $attr;
    $subtag ||= '_';

    ### Set or get?
    my $field = MIME::Field::ParamVal->parse($self->get($tag, 0));
    if (@_ > 2) {   ### set it:
	$field->param($subtag, $value);             ### set subfield
	$self->replace($tag, $field->stringify);    ### replace!
	return $value;
    }
    else {          ### get it:
	return $field->param($subtag);
    }
}

#------------------------------

=item mime_encoding

I
Try I to determine the content transfer encoding
(e.g., C<"base64">, C<"binary">), which is returned in all-lowercase.

If no encoding could be found, the default of C<"7bit"> is returned
I quote from RFC 2045 section 6.1:

    This is the default value -- that is, "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT"
    is assumed if the Content-Transfer-Encoding header field is not present.

I do one other form of fixup: "7_bit", "7-bit", and "7 bit" are
corrected to "7bit"; likewise for "8bit".

=cut

sub mime_encoding {
    my $self = shift;
    my $enc = lc($self->mime_attr('content-transfer-encoding') || '7bit');
    $enc =~ s{^([78])[ _-]bit\Z}{$1bit};
    $enc;
}

#------------------------------

=item mime_type [DEFAULT]

I
Try C to determine the content type (e.g., C<"text/plain">,
C<"image/gif">, C<"x-weird-type">, which is returned in all-lowercase.
"Real hard" means that if no content type could be found, the default
(usually C<"text/plain">) is returned.  From RFC 2045 section 5.2:

   Default RFC 822 messages without a MIME Content-Type header are
   taken by this protocol to be plain text in the US-ASCII character
   set, which can be explicitly specified as:

      Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

   This default is assumed if no Content-Type header field is specified.

Unless this is a part of a "multipart/digest", in which case
"message/rfc822" is the default.  Note that you can also I the
default, but you shouldn't: normally only the MIME parser uses this
feature.

=cut

sub mime_type {
    my ($self, $default) = @_;
    $self->{MIH_DefaultType} = $default if @_ > 1;
    my $s = $self->mime_attr('content-type') ||
       $self->{MIH_DefaultType} ||
       'text/plain';
    # avoid [perl #87336] bug, lc laundering tainted data
    return lc($s)  if $] <= 5.008 || $] >= 5.014;
    $s =~ tr/A-Z/a-z/;
    $s;
}

#------------------------------

=item multipart_boundary

I
If this is a header for a multipart message, return the
"encapsulation boundary" used to separate the parts.  The boundary
is returned exactly as given in the C field; that
is, the leading double-hyphen (C<-->) is I prepended.

Well, I exactly... this passage from RFC 2046 dictates
that we remove any trailing spaces:

   If a boundary appears to end with white space, the white space
   must be presumed to have been added by a gateway, and must be deleted.

Returns undef (B the empty string) if either the message is not
multipart or if there is no specified boundary.

=cut

sub multipart_boundary {
    my $self = shift;
    my $value =  $self->mime_attr('content-type.boundary');
    (!defined($value)) ? undef : $value;
}

#------------------------------

=item recommended_filename

I
Return the recommended external filename.  This is used when
extracting the data from the MIME stream.  The filename is always
returned as a string in Perl's internal format (the UTF8 flag may be on!)

Returns undef if no filename could be suggested.

=cut

sub recommended_filename
{
	my $self = shift;

	# Try these headers in order, taking the first defined,
	# non-blank one we find.
	my $wd = supported MIME::WordDecoder 'UTF-8';
	foreach my $attr_name ( qw( content-disposition.filename content-type.name ) ) {
		my $value = $self->mime_attr( $attr_name );
		if ( defined $value
		    && $value ne ''
