NAME

HTTP::MultiPartParser - HTTP MultiPart Parser

SYNOPSIS

    $parser = HTTP::MultiPartParser->new(
        boundary  => $boundary,
        on_header => $on_header,
        on_body   => $on_body,
    );
    
    while ($octets = read_octets_from_body()) {
        $parser->parse($octets);
    }
    
    $parser->finish;

DESCRIPTION

This class provides a low-level API for processing MultiPart MIME data streams conforming to MultiPart types as defined in RFC 2616 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-3.7.2>.

"on_header" (Mandatory)
```
    on_header => $callback->($header)
    
```
This callback will be invoked when the header of a part has successfully been received. The callback will only be invoked once for each part.
"on_header_as"
```
    on_header_as => 'unparsed' | 'lines'
    
```
Defines the $header value for the "on_header" callback.

"unparsed"
Callback invoked with an octet string containing the unparsed header.
"lines"
Callback invoked with an ARRAY reference, where each element of the array is a header line. Folding whitespace is removed from all lines and header continuation lines are unwrapped.

"on_body" (Mandatory)
```
    on_body => $callback->($chunk, $final)
    
```
This callback will be invoked when there is any data available for the body of a part. The callback may be invoked multiple times for each part.
"on_error"
```
    on_error => $callback->($message)
    
```
This callback will be invoked anytime an error occurs in the parser. After receiving an error the parser is no longer useful in its current state.
"max_preamble_size"
```
    max_preamble_size => 32768
    
```
"max_header_size"
```
    max_header_size => 32768
    
```

parse

    $parser->parse($octets);

Parses the given octets.

finish

    $parser->finish;

Finish the parsing.

reset

    $parser->reset;
