=head1 NAME

Bio::DB::Query::WebQuery - Helper class for web-based sequence queryies

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # Do not use this class directly.  See Bio::DB::QueryI and one of
  # the implementor classes (such as Bio::DB::GenBankQuery) for
  # information.

See L, L


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Do not use this class directly.  See Bio::DB::QueryI and one of the
implementor classes (such as Bio::DB::Query::GenBank) for information.

Those writing subclasses must define _get_params() and
_parse_response(), and possibly override _request_method().

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the
evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send
your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation
is much appreciated.

=head2 Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 Reporting Bugs

The rest of the documentation details each of the
object methods. Internal methods are usually
preceded with a _

use URI;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;

use base qw(Bio::Root::Root Bio::DB::QueryI);

=head2 new

 Title   : new
 Usage   : $db = Bio::DB::WebQuery->new(@args)
 Function: create new query object
 Returns : new query object
 Args    : -db       database (e.g. 'protein')
           -ids      array ref of ids (overrides query)
           -verbose  turn on verbose debugging

This method creates a new query object.  Typically you will specify a
-db and a -query argument.  The value of -query is a database-specific
string.

If you provide an array reference of IDs in -ids, the query will be
ignored and the list of IDs will be used when the query is passed to
the database.
