URI::data - phpMan

NAME
    URI::data - URI that contains immediate data

SYNOPSIS
     use URI;

     $u = URI->new("data:");
     $u->media_type("image/gif");
     $u->data(scalar(`cat camel.gif`));
     print "$u\n";
     open(XV, "|xv -") and print XV $u->data;

DESCRIPTION
    The "URI::data" class supports "URI" objects belonging to the *data* URI
    scheme. The *data* URI scheme is specified in RFC 2397. It allows
    inclusion of small data items as "immediate" data, as if it had been
    included externally. Examples:

      data:,Perl%20is%20good

      data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhIAAgAIAAAAAAAPj8+CwAAAAAI
        AAgAAAClYyPqcu9AJyCjtIKc5w5xP14xgeO2tlY3nWcajmZZdeJcG

    "URI" objects belonging to the data scheme support the common methods
    (described in URI) and the following two scheme-specific methods:

    $uri->media_type( [$new_media_type] )
        Can be used to get or set the media type specified in the URI. If no
        media type is specified, then the default
        "text/plain;charset=US-ASCII" is returned.

    $uri->data( [$new_data] )
        Can be used to get or set the data contained in the URI. The data is
        passed unescaped (in binary form). The decision about whether to
        base64 encode the data in the URI is taken automatically, based on
        the encoding that produces the shorter URI string.
