NAME

HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::AcceptCharset - A Priority List customized for Media Types

VERSION

version 0.09

SYNOPSIS

  use HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::AcceptCharset;

  # normal constructor
  my $list = HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::AcceptCharset->new(
      [ 1.0 => 'UTF-8' ],
      [ 0.7 => 'ISO-8859-1' ],
  );

  # or from a string
  my $list = HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::AcceptCharsetList->new_from_string(
      'UTF-8; q=1.0, ISO-8859-1; q=0.7'
  );

DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of the HTTP::Headers::ActionPack::PriorityList class with some charset specific features.

METHODS

"new_from_string": This method overrides the default constructor to add some additional logic required by RFC-2616. If an Accept-Charset header does not explicitly define the priority for "*" or "ISO-8859-1", then the default priority for "ISO-8859-1" must be set to 1.0.
Note that we do not override the "new" method. If you are passing an explicitly list of values to the constructor we assume you know what you are doing.
"canonicalize_choice": This takes a string containing a character set name and returns the canonical MIME name for the character set. For example, it transforms "utf8" to "UTF-8".
