=head1 NAME

MIME::Parser - experimental class for parsing MIME streams


=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 Basic usage examples

    ### Create a new parser object:
    my $parser = new MIME::Parser;

    ### Tell it where to put things:
    $parser->output_under("/tmp");

    ### Parse an input filehandle:
    $entity = $parser->parse(\*STDIN);

    ### Congratulations: you now have a (possibly multipart) MIME entity!
    $entity->dump_skeleton;          # for debugging


=head2 Examples of input

    ### Parse from filehandles:
    $entity = $parser->parse(\*STDIN);
    $entity = $parser->parse(IO::File->new("some command|");

    ### Parse from any object that supports getline() and read():
    $entity = $parser->parse($myHandle);

    ### Parse an in-core MIME message:
    $entity = $parser->parse_data($message);

    ### Parse an MIME message in a file:
    $entity = $parser->parse_open("/some/file.msg");

    ### Parse an MIME message out of a pipeline:
    $entity = $parser->parse_open("gunzip - < file.msg.gz |");

    ### Parse already-split input (as "deliver" would give it to you):
    $entity = $parser->parse_two("msg.head", "msg.body");


=head2 Examples of output control

    ### Keep parsed message bodies in core (default outputs to disk):
    $parser->output_to_core(1);

    ### Output each message body to a one-per-message directory:
    $parser->output_under("/tmp");

    ### Output each message body to the same directory:
    $parser->output_dir("/tmp");

    ### Change how nameless message-component files are named:
    $parser->output_prefix("msg");

    ### Put temporary files somewhere else
    $parser->tmp_dir("/var/tmp/mytmpdir");

=head2 Examples of error recovery

    ### Normal mechanism:
    eval { $entity = $parser->parse(\*STDIN) };
    if ($@) {
	$results  = $parser->results;
	$decapitated = $parser->last_head;  ### get last top-level head
    }

    ### Ultra-tolerant mechanism:
    $parser->ignore_errors(1);
    $entity = eval { $parser->parse(\*STDIN) };
    $error = ($@ || $parser->last_error);

    ### Cleanup all files created by the parse:
    eval { $entity = $parser->parse(\*STDIN) };
    ...
    $parser->filer->purge;


=head2 Examples of parser options

    ### Automatically attempt to RFC 2047-decode the MIME headers?
    $parser->decode_headers(1);             ### default is false

    ### Parse contained "message/rfc822" objects as nested MIME streams?
    $parser->extract_nested_messages(0);    ### default is true

    ### Look for uuencode in "text" messages, and extract it?
    $parser->extract_uuencode(1);           ### default is false

    ### Should we forgive normally-fatal errors?
    $parser->ignore_errors(0);              ### default is true


=head2 Miscellaneous examples

    ### Convert a Mail::Internet object to a MIME::Entity:
    my $data = join('', (@{$mail->header}, "\n", @{$mail->body}));
    $entity = $parser->parse_data(\$data);



=head1 DESCRIPTION

You can inherit from this class to create your own subclasses
that parse MIME streams into MIME::Entity objects.

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

=item new ARGS...

I
Create a new parser object.
Once you do this, you can then set up various parameters
before doing the actual parsing.  For example:

    my $parser = new MIME::Parser;
    $parser->output_dir("/tmp");
    $parser->output_prefix("msg1");
    my $entity = $parser->parse(\*STDIN);

Any arguments are passed into C.
Don't override this in your subclasses; override init() instead.

=cut

sub new {
    my $self = bless {}, shift;
    $self->init(@_);
}

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

=item init ARGS...

I
Initiallize a new MIME::Parser object.
This is automatically sent to a new object; you may want to override it.
If you override this, be sure to invoke the inherited method.

=cut

sub init {
    my $self = shift;

    $self->{MP5_DecodeHeaders}   = 0;
    $self->{MP5_DecodeBodies}    = 1;
    $self->{MP5_Interface}       = {};
    $self->{MP5_ParseNested}     = 'NEST';
    $self->{MP5_TmpToCore}       = 0;
    $self->{MP5_IgnoreErrors}    = 1;
    $self->{MP5_UUDecode}        = 0;
    $self->{MP5_MaxParts}        = -1;
    $self->{MP5_TmpDir}          = undef;

    $self->interface(ENTITY_CLASS => 'MIME::Entity');
    $self->interface(HEAD_CLASS   => 'MIME::Head');

    $self->output_dir(".");

    $self;
}

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

=item init_parse

I
Invoked automatically whenever one of the top-level parse() methods
is called, to reset the parser to a "ready" state.

=cut

sub init_parse {
    my $self = shift;

    $self->{MP5_Results} = new MIME::Parser::Results;

    $self->{MP5_Filer}->results($self->{MP5_Results});
    $self->{MP5_Filer}->purgeable([]);
    $self->{MP5_Filer}->init_parse();

=head2 Altering how messages are parsed

=over 4

=cut

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

=item decode_headers [YESNO]

I
Controls whether the parser will attempt to decode all the MIME headers
(as per RFC 2047) the moment it sees them.  B
for two very important reasons:>

=over

=item *

B
If you fully decode the headers into bytes, you can inadvertently
transform a parseable MIME header like this:

    Content-type: text/plain; filename="=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Hi=22Ho?="

into unparseable gobbledygook; in this case:

    Content-type: text/plain; filename="Hi"Ho"

=item *

B  An encoded string which contains
both Latin-1 and Cyrillic characters will be turned into a binary
mishmosh which simply can't be rendered.

=back

B
This method was once the only out-of-the-box way to deal with attachments
whose filenames had non-ASCII characters.  However, since MIME-tools 5.4xx
this is no longer necessary.

B
If YESNO is true, decoding is done.  However, you will get a warning
unless you use one of the special "true" values:

   "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.

If YESNO is false (the default), no attempt at decoding will be done.
With no argument, just returns the current setting.
B you can always decode the headers I the parsing
has completed (see L), or
decode the words on demand (see L).

=cut

sub decode_headers {
    my ($self, $yesno) = @_;
    if (@_ > 1) {
	$self->{MP5_DecodeHeaders} = $yesno;
	if ($yesno) {
	    if (($yesno eq "I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING") ||
		($yesno eq "I_NEED_TO_FIX_THIS")) {
		### ok
	    }
	    else {
		$self->whine("as of 5.4xx, decode_headers() should NOT be ".
			     "set true... if you are doing this to make sure ".
			     "that non-ASCII filenames are translated, ".
			     "that's now done automatically; for all else, ".
			     "use MIME::Words.");
	    }
	}
    }
    $self->{MP5_DecodeHeaders};
}

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

=item extract_nested_messages OPTION

I
Some MIME messages will contain a part of type C
,C or C:
literally, the text of an embedded mail/news/whatever message.
This option controls whether (and how) we parse that embedded message.

If the OPTION is false, we treat such a message just as if it were a
C document, without attempting to decode its contents.

If the OPTION is true (the default), the body of the C
or C part is parsed by this parser, creating an
entity object.  What happens then is determined by the actual OPTION:

=over 4

=item NEST or 1

The default setting.
The contained message becomes the sole "part" of the C
entity (as if the containing message were a special kind of
"multipart" message).
You can recover the sub-entity by invoking the L
method on the C entity.

=item REPLACE

The contained message replaces the C entity, as though
the C "container" never existed.

B notice that, with this option, all the header information
in the C header is lost.  This might seriously bother
you if you're dealing with a top-level message, and you've just lost
the sender's address and the subject line.  C<:-/>.

=back

I

=cut

sub extract_nested_messages {
    my ($self, $option) = @_;
    $self->{MP5_ParseNested} = $option if (@_ > 1);
    $self->{MP5_ParseNested};
}

sub parse_nested_messages {
    usage "parse_nested_messages() is now extract_nested_messages()";
    shift->extract_nested_messages(@_);
}

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

=item extract_uuencode [YESNO]

I
If set true, then whenever we are confronted with a message
whose effective content-type is "text/plain" and whose encoding
is 7bit/8bit/binary, we scan the encoded body to see if it contains
uuencoded data (generally given away by a "begin XXX" line).

If it does, we explode the uuencoded message into a multipart,
where the text before the first "begin XXX" becomes the first part,
and all "begin...end" sections following become the subsequent parts.
The filename (if given) is accessible through the normal means.

=cut

sub extract_uuencode {
    my ($self, $yesno) = @_;
    $self->{MP5_UUDecode} = $yesno if @_ > 1;
    $self->{MP5_UUDecode};
}

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

=item ignore_errors [YESNO]

I
Controls whether the parser will attempt to ignore normally-fatal
errors, treating them as warnings and continuing with the parse.

If YESNO is true (the default), many syntax errors are tolerated.
If YESNO is false, fatal errors throw exceptions.
With no argument, just returns the current setting.

=cut

sub ignore_errors {
    my ($self, $yesno) = @_;
    $self->{MP5_IgnoreErrors} = $yesno if (@_ > 1);
    $self->{MP5_IgnoreErrors};
}


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

=item decode_bodies [YESNO]

I
Controls whether the parser should decode entity bodies or not.
If this is set to a false value (default is true), all entity bodies
will be kept as-is in the original content-transfer encoding.

To prevent double encoding on the output side MIME::Body->is_encoded
is set, which tells MIME::Body not to encode the data again, if encoded
data was requested. This is in particular useful, when it's important that
the content B be modified, e.g. if you want to calculate
OpenPGP signatures from it.

B: the semantics change significantly if you parse MIME
messages with this option set, because MIME::Entity resp. MIME::Body
*always* see encoded data now, while the default behaviour is
working with *decoded* data (and encoding it only if you request it).
You need to decode the data yourself, if you want to have it decoded.

So use this option only if you exactly know, what you're doing, and
that you're sure, that you really need it.

=cut

sub decode_bodies {
    my ($self, $yesno) = @_;
    $self->{MP5_DecodeBodies} = $yesno if (@_ > 1);
    $self->{MP5_DecodeBodies};

=head2 Specifying output destination

B in 5.212 and before, this was done by methods
of MIME::Parser.  However, since many users have requested
fine-tuned control over how this is done, the logic has been split
off from the parser into its own class, MIME::Parser::Filer
Every MIME::Parser maintains an instance of a MIME::Parser::Filer
subclass to manage disk output (see L for details.)

The benefit to this is that the MIME::Parser code won't be
confounded with a lot of garbage related to disk output.
The drawback is that the way you override the default behavior
will change.

For now, all the normal public-interface methods are still provided,
but many are only stubs which create or delegate to the underlying
MIME::Parser::Filer object.

=item output_dir DIRECTORY

I
Causes messages to be filed directly into the given DIRECTORY.
It does this by setting the underlying L to
a new instance of MIME::Parser::FileInto, and passing the arguments
into that class' new() method.

B Since this method replaces the underlying
filer, you must invoke it I doing changing any attributes
of the filer, like the output prefix; otherwise those changes
will be lost.

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

=item output_under BASEDIR, OPTS...

I

underlying L to a new instance of MIME::Parser::FileUnder,
and passing the arguments into that class' new() method.

B Since this method replaces the underlying

=item output_path HEAD

I
Given a MIME head for a file to be extracted, come up with a good
output pathname for the extracted file.
Identical to the preferred form:

We just delegate this to the underlying L object.

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

=item output_prefix [PREFIX]

I
Get/set the short string that all filenames for extracted body-parts
will begin with (assuming that there is no better "recommended filename").
Identical to the preferred form:

We just delegate this to the underlying L object.

    &MIME::Tools::whine("evil_filename deprecated in MIME::Parser");
    $self->filer->evil_filename(@_);
}

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

=item max_parts NUM

I
Limits the number of MIME parts we will parse.

Normally, instances of this class parse a message to the bitter end.
Messages with many MIME parts can cause excessive memory consumption.
If you invoke this method, parsing will abort with a die() if a message
contains more than NUM parts.

If NUM is set to -1 (the default), then no maximum limit is enforced.

With no argument, returns the current setting as an integer

=cut

sub max_parts {
    my($self, $num) = @_;
    if (@_ > 1) {
	$self->{MP5_MaxParts} = $num;
    }
    return $self->{MP5_MaxParts};
}

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

=item output_to_core YESNO

I
Normally, instances of this class output all their decoded body
data to disk files (via MIME::Body::File).  However, you can change
this behaviour by invoking this method before parsing:

If YESNO is false (the default), then all body data goes
to disk files.

If YESNO is true, then all body data goes to in-core data structures
This is a little risky (what if someone emails you an MPEG or a tar
file, hmmm?) but people seem to want this bit of noose-shaped rope,
so I'm providing it.
Note that setting this attribute true I mean that parser-internal
temporary files are avoided!  Use L for that.

With no argument, returns the current setting as a boolean.

=cut

sub output_to_core {
    my ($self, $yesno) = @_;
    if (@_ > 1) {

worked.  Please update your code to stop using it.

=cut

sub tmp_recycling

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

=item tmp_to_core [YESNO]

I
Should L create real temp files, or
use fake in-core ones?  Normally we allow the creation of temporary
disk files, since this allows us to handle huge attachments even when
core is limited.

If YESNO is true, we implement new_tmpfile() via in-core handles.
If YESNO is false (the default), we use real tmpfiles.
With no argument, just returns the current setting.

=cut

sub tmp_to_core {
    my ($self, $yesno) = @_;
    $self->{MP5_TmpToCore} = $yesno if (@_ > 1);
    $self->{MP5_TmpToCore};
}

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

=item use_inner_files [YESNO]

I.

I

MIME::Parser no longer supports IO::InnerFile, but this method is retained for
backwards compatibility.  It does nothing.

The original reasoning for IO::InnerFile was that inner files were faster than
"in-core" temp files.  At the time, the "in-core" tempfile support was
implemented with IO::Scalar from the IO-Stringy distribution, which used the
tie() interface to wrap a scalar with the appropriate IO::Handle operations.
The penalty for this was fairly hefty, and IO::InnerFile actually was faster.

Nowadays, MIME::Parser uses Perl's built in ability to open a filehandle on an
in-memory scalar variable via PerlIO.  Benchmarking shows that IO::InnerFile is
slightly slower than using in-memory temporary files, and is slightly faster
than on-disk temporary files.  Both measurements are within a few percent of
each other.  Since there's no real benefit, and since the IO::InnerFile abuse
was fairly hairy and evil ("writes" to it were faked by extending the size of
the inner file with the assumption that the only data you'd ever ->print() to
it would be the line from the "outer" file, for example) it's been removed.

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

=item interface ROLE,[VALUE]

I
During parsing, the parser normally creates instances of certain classes,
like MIME::Entity.  However, you may want to create a parser subclass
that uses your own experimental head, entity, etc. classes (for example,
your "head" class may provide some additional MIME-field-oriented methods).

If so, then this is the method that your subclass should invoke during
init.  Use it like this:

    package MyParser;
    @ISA = qw(MIME::Parser);
    ...
    sub init {
	my $self = shift;
	$self->SUPER::init(@_);        ### do my parent's init
	$self->interface(ENTITY_CLASS => 'MIME::MyEntity');
	$self->interface(HEAD_CLASS   => 'MIME::MyHead');
	$self;                         ### return
    }

With no VALUE, returns the VALUE currently associated with that ROLE.

=cut

sub interface {
    my ($self, $role, $value) = @_;
    $self->{MP5_Interface}{$role} = $value if (defined($value));

}

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

=item new_body_for HEAD

I
Based on the HEAD of a part we are parsing, return a new
body object (any desirable subclass of MIME::Body) for
receiving that part's data.

If you set the C option to false before parsing
(the default), then we call C and create a
new MIME::Body::File on that filename.

If you set the C option to true before parsing,
then you get a MIME::Body::InCore instead.

If you want the parser to do something else entirely, you can
override this method in a subclass.

=cut

sub new_body_for {
    my ($self, $head) = @_;

    if ($self->output_to_core) {
	$self->debug("outputting body to core");

I
Return an IO handle to be used to hold temporary data during a parse.

The default uses MIME::Tools::tmpopen() to create a new temporary file,
unless L dictates otherwise, but you can
override this.  You shouldn't need to.

The location for temporary files can be changed on a per-parser basis
with L.

If you do override this, make certain that the object you return is
set for binmode(), and is able to handle the following methods:

    read(BUF, NBYTES)
    getline()
    getlines()
    print(@ARGS)
