HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::MediaType - A Media Type
version 0.04
use HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::MediaType; # normal constructor my $mt = HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::MediaType->new( 'application/xml' => ( 'q' => 0.5, 'charset' => 'UTF-8' ) ); # construct from string my $mt = HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::MediaType->new_from_string( 'application/xml; q=0.5; charset=UTF-8' );
This is an object which represents an HTTP media type defintion. This is most often found as a member of a HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::MediaTypeList object.
type
Accessor for the type.
major
The major portion of the media type name.
minor
The minor portion of the media type name.
matches_all
A media type matched all if the type is */* and if it has no parameters.
*/*
equals ( $media_type | $media_type_string )
This will attempt to determine if the $media_type is exactly the same as itself. If given a $media_type_string it will parse it into an object.
$media_type
$media_type_string
In order for two type to be equal, the types must match exactly and the parameters much match exactly.
exact_match ( $media_type | $media_type_string )
This will attempt to determine if the $media_type is a match with itself using the type_matches method below. If given a $media_type_string it will parse it into an object.
type_matches
In order for an exact match to occur it the types must be compatible and the parameters much match exactly.
match ( $media_type | $media_type_string )
This will attempt to determine if the $media_type is a match with itself using the type_matches method and params_match method below. If given a $media_type_string it will parse it into an object.
params_match
In order for an exact match to occur it the types must be compatible and the parameters must be a subset.
type_matches ( $media_type | $media_type_string )
This will determine type compatability, properly handling the * types and major and minor elements of the type.
*
params_match ( $parameters )
This determines if the $parameters are a subset of the invocants parameters.
