NAME

Net::Jabber::X::Oob - Jabber X Out Of Bandwidth File Transfer Module

SYNOPSIS

Net::Jabber::X::Oob is a companion to the Net::Jabber::X module.
It provides the user a simple interface to set and retrieve all 
parts of a Jabber X Oob.

DESCRIPTION

  To initialize the Oob with a Jabber <x/> you must pass it the 
  XML::Parser Tree array from the module trying to access the <x/>.  
  In the callback function:

    use Net::Jabber;

    sub iq {
      my $foo = new Net::Jabber::Foo(@_);

      my @xTags = $foo->GetX("jabber:x:oob");

      my $xTag;
      foreach $xTag (@xTags) {
	$xTag->....
	
      }
      .
      .
      .
    }

  You now have access to all of the retrieval functions available.

  To create a new Oob to send to the server:

    use Net::Jabber;

    $foo = new Net::Jabber::Foo();
    $x = $foo->NewX("jabber:x:oob");

  Now you can call the creation functions below.

  For more information about the array format being passed to the CallBack
  please read the Net::Jabber::Client documentation.

Retrieval functions

$url  = $xTag->GetURL();
$desc = $xTag->GetDesc();

Creation functions

    $xTag->SetOob(UrL=>"http://my.web.server.com/~me/pics/bob.jpg",
	          desc=>"Picture of Bob, the one and only");

    $xTag->SetURL("http://my.web.server.com/~me/pics/bobandme.jpg");
    $xTag->SetDesc("Bob and Me at the Open Source conference");

METHODS

Retrieval functions

GetURL() - returns a string with the URL of the file being sent Oob.

GetDesc() - returns a string with the description of the file being
             sent Oob.

Creation functions

SetOob(url=>string,  - set multiple fields in the <x/> at one
       desc=>string)   time.  This is a cumulative and over
                       writing action.  If you set the "url"
                       attribute twice, the second setting is
                       what is used.  If you set the url, and
                       then set the desc then both will be in
                       the <x/> tag.  For valid settings read the
                       specific Set functions below.

SetURL(string) - sets the URL for the file being sent Oob.

SetDesc(string) - sets the description for the file being sent Oob.
