WebService::weblogUpdates - methods supported by the UserLand weblogUpdates framework.

 use WebService::weblogUpdates;

 my $weblogs = WebService::weblogUpdates->new(transport=>"SOAP",debug=>0);
 $weblogs->ping("Perlblog","http://www.nospum.net/perlblog");

 # Since the 'rssUpdate' method has only been 
 # documented for the XML-RPC transport, we switch
 # the internal widget.

 $weblogs->Transport("XMLRPC");
 $weblogs->rssUpdate("Aaronland","http://www.aaronland.net/weblog/rss");

This package implements methods supported by the UserLand weblogUpdates framework, for the weblogs.com website.

This package was originally named to reflect the class that the original ping method lives in, weblogUpdates.

Since then, other methods have been added that live in different classes or don't have any parent class at all. I have no idea why, especially since the equivalent serTalk methods live in a 'weblogUpdates' class themselves. [1]

So it goes.

Valid arguments are

• transport
  
  String. Valid transports are SOAP and XMLRPC and REST. required
• debug
  
  Boolean. Enable transport-specific debugging.

Ping the Userland servers and tell them your weblog has been updated.

Valid arguments are a hash reference whose keys are :

• name
  
  String. The name of your weblog. required
• url
  
  String. The URI of your weblog. required
• changesurl
  
  String.
  
  This key may be specified if
• • The object's transport is REST and the site in question "need two urls, one that we can verify changes for, and the other to be included in changes.xml."
  • You are passing a category key with your ping. In fact, it's required if you're doing that.
• category
  
  String.
  
  Categories are not supported if the object's transport is REST.

Returns true or false. This means that, unlike the Userland server itself, a successful ping returns 1 and a failed ping returns 0.

Ping the Userland servers and tell them your RSS feed has been updated.

Valid arguments are a hash reference whose keys are :

• name
  
  String. The name of your weblog. required
• url
  
  String. The URI of your weblog. required

This method is not supported for the SOAP transport, although it will be as soon as it is documented by UserLand.

This method is not supported for the REST transport.

Return the response message that was sent with your last method call.

Set the transport for use with the package. Valid transports are SOAP, XMLRPC and REST. This field is required.

Valid arguments are

• debug
  
  Boolean. Enable transport-specific debugging.

DEPRECATED Please use $pkg->LastMessage() instead.

One of the following :

• Frontier::Client
  
  Default
• XMLRPC::Lite
  
  (part of SOAP::Lite)

• SOAP::Lite

• LWP::Simple

  This is optional, but required if you want this package to try and return a short and sweet message instead of raw HTML.
