NAME

Dicop::Proxy - A proxy for a Dicop system

SYNOPSIS

	use Dicop::Proxy;

	$proxy = Dicop::Proxy->new();
	$proxy->parse_client_requests($self,$requests);

DESCRIPTION

This module includes some routines that make up the logic of the proxy part of the server.

This is a subclass of Dicop::Handler and overrides only the necc. methods.

This package is used by dicopp to implement a full Dicop-Proxy.

REQUIRES

perl5.008003, Exporter

EXPORTS

METHODS

remap_request_id()

	my $req_id = $proxy->remap_request_id( $response->request_id() );

Map from server's response request_id back to what the client sent us.

cache_request()

Takes a request, and adds it to the _send_cache. It also creates a client_info request, if that isn't already there, otherwise it updates the client info. Return 1 if we need to send to the server (cache full), otherwise 0.

build_server_talk()

Create the text that is sent to the server by stringing together request and info requests from the cache.

clear_cache()

Clear the send cache and the client info list, reset the request id for the send cache.

new()

Create a new Dicop::Proxy object and init the data fields of it. Called by the servers init() method.

talk_to_server()

Uses build_server_talk to build the text for the upstream server, send it to the server, and then clear the cache and client info list. Returns the servers answer as text.

request_test()

Called for each testcase request.

request_work()

Called for each work request.

request_file()

Called for each file request.

report()

Called for each chunk the client reports back.
