Detailed Description

There are two classes that specifies the protocol between application (job) and kioslave.

SlaveInterface is the class to use on the application end, SlaveBase is the one to use on the slave end.

Slave implementations should simply inherit SlaveBase

A call to foo() results in a call to slotFoo() on the other end.

Member Function Documentation

MetaData KIO::SlaveBase::allMetaData ( ) const [inline]

For internal use only.

for ForwardingSlaveBase Contains all metadata (but no config) sent by the application to the slave.

Since:: 3.5.2

Definition at line 311 of file slavebase.h.

bool SlaveBase::cacheAuthentication ( const AuthInfo & info )

Explicitly store authentication information.

openPassDlg already stores password information automatically, you only need to call this function if you want to store authentication information that is different from the information returned by openPassDlg.

Definition at line 1222 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::canResume ( )

Definition at line 481 of file slavebase.cpp.

bool SlaveBase::canResume ( KIO::filesize_t offset )

Call this at the beginning of put(), to give the size of the existing partial file, if there is one.

The offset argument notifies the other job (the one that gets the data) about the offset to use. In this case, the boolean returns whether we can indeed resume or not (we can't if the protocol doing the get() doesn't support setting an offset)

Definition at line 914 of file slavebase.cpp.

bool SlaveBase::checkCachedAuthentication ( AuthInfo & info )

Checks for cached authentication based on parameters given by info.

Use this function to check if any cached password exists for the URL given by info. If AuthInfo::realmValue and/or AuthInfo::verifyPath flag is specified, then they will also be factored in determining the presence of a cached password. Note that Auth::url is a required parameter when attempting to check for cached authorization info. Here is a simple example:

 AuthInfo info;
 info.url = KURL("http://www.foobar.org/foo/bar");
 info.username = "somename";
 info.verifyPath = true;
 if ( !checkCachedAuthentication( info ) )
 {
    if ( !openPassDlg(info) )
     ....
 }

Parameters:

info

See AuthInfo.

Returns:: true if cached Authorization is found, false otherwise.

Definition at line 1179 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::chmod	(	const KURL &	url,
		int	permissions
	)			`[virtual]`

Change permissions on path The slave emits ERR_DOES_NOT_EXIST or ERR_CANNOT_CHMOD.

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingSlaveBase.

Definition at line 795 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::closeConnection ( void ) [virtual]

Closes the connection (forced) Called when the application disconnects the slave to close any open network connections.

When the slave was operating in connection-oriented mode, it should reset itself to connectionless (default) mode.

Definition at line 771 of file slavebase.cpp.

KConfigBase * SlaveBase::config ( )

Returns a configuration object to query config/meta-data information from.

The application provides the slave with all configuration information relevant for the current protocol and host.

Definition at line 390 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::connected ( )

Call in openConnection, if you reimplement it, when you're done.

Definition at line 446 of file slavebase.cpp.

internal function to connect a slave to/ disconnect from either the slave pool or the application

Definition at line 340 of file slavebase.cpp.

int SlaveBase::connectTimeout ( )

Returns:: timeout value for connecting to remote host.

Definition at line 1237 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::copy	(	const KURL &	src,
		const KURL &	dest,
		int	permissions,
		bool	overwrite
	)			`[virtual]`

Copy src into dest.

If the slave returns an error ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ACTION, the job will ask for get + put instead.

Parameters:

	src	where to copy the file from (decoded)
	dest	where to copy the file to (decoded)
	permissions	may be -1. In this case no special permission mode is set.
	overwrite	if true, any existing file will be overwritten

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingSlaveBase.

Definition at line 789 of file slavebase.cpp.

QString SlaveBase::createAuthCacheKey ( const KURL & url )

Deprecated:: as of 3.1. Use openPassDlg instead. TODO: Remove before KDE 4.0 Creates a basic key to be used to cache the password.

Parameters:

url

the url from which the key is supposed to be generated

Definition at line 1138 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::data ( const QByteArray & data )

Sends data in the slave to the job (i.e.

in get).

To signal end of data, simply send an empty QByteArray().

Parameters:

data

the data read by the slave

Definition at line 413 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::dataReq ( )

Asks for data from the job.

See also:: readData

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingSlaveBase.

Definition at line 791 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::delCachedAuthentication ( const QString & key )

Deprecated:: as of 3.1. Use openPassDlg instead. TODO: Remove before KDE 4.0

Cached authentication information is now session based and removed automatically when a given session ends, i.e. the application is closed.

Definition at line 722 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::disconnectSlave ( )

Definition at line 354 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::dispatch	(	int	command,
		const QByteArray &	data
	)			`[virtual]`

Definition at line 983 of file slavebase.cpp.

bool SlaveBase::dispatch ( ) [virtual]

For internal use only.

Definition at line 810 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::dispatchLoop ( )

For internal use only.

Definition at line 257 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::dropNetwork ( const QString & host = QString::null )

Used by the slave to withdraw a connection requested by requestNetwork.

This function cancels the last call to requestNetwork. If a client uses more than one internet connection, it must use dropNetwork(host) to stop each request.

If KNetMgr is not running, then this is a no-op.

Parameters:

host

the host passed to requestNetwork

A slave should call this function every time it disconnect from a host.

Definition at line 645 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::error	(	int	_errid,
		const QString &	_text
	)

Call to signal an error.

This also finishes the job, no need to call finished.

If the Error code is KIO::ERR_SLAVE_DEFINED then the _text should contain the complete translated text of of the error message. This message will be displayed in an KTextBrowser which allows rich text complete with hyper links. Email links will call the default mailer, "exec:/command arg1 arg2" will be forked and all other links will call the default browser.

See also:: KIO::Error
KTextBrowser

Parameters:

	_errid	the error code from KIO::Error
	_text	the rich text error message

Definition at line 433 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::errorPage ( )

Tell that we will only get an error page here.

This means: the data you'll get isn't the data you requested, but an error page (usually HTML) that describes an error.

Definition at line 558 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::exit ( )

For internal use only.

Terminate the slave by calling the destructor and then exit()

Definition at line 612 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::finished ( )

Call to signal successful completion of any command (besides openConnection and closeConnection).

Definition at line 453 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::get ( const KURL & url ) [virtual]

get, aka read.

Parameters:

url

the full url for this request. Host, port and user of the URL can be assumed to be the same as in the last setHost() call. The slave emits the data through data

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingSlaveBase.

Definition at line 781 of file slavebase.cpp.

bool SlaveBase::hasMetaData ( const QString & key )

Deprecated:: kept for binary compatibility Queries for the existence of a certain config/meta-data entry send by the application to the slave.

Definition at line 386 of file slavebase.cpp.

Usual examples are "connecting to host xyz", etc.

Definition at line 624 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::listDir ( const KURL & url ) [virtual]

Lists the contents of url.

The slave should emit ERR_CANNOT_ENTER_DIRECTORY if it doesn't exist, if we don't have enough permissions, or if it is a file It should also emit totalFiles as soon as it knows how many files it will list.

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingSlaveBase.

Definition at line 779 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::listEntries ( const UDSEntryList & _entry )

Call this in listDir, each time you have a bunch of entries to report.

Parameters:

_entry

The UDSEntry containing all of the object attributes.

Definition at line 701 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::listEntry	(	const UDSEntry &	_entry,
		bool	ready
	)

internal function to be called by the slave.

It collects entries and emits them via listEntries when enough of them are there or a certain time frame exceeded (to make sure the app gets some items in time but not too many items one by one as this will cause a drastic performance penalty)

Parameters:

	_entry	The UDSEntry containing all of the object attributes.
	ready	set to true after emitting all items. `_entry` is not used in this case

Definition at line 659 of file slavebase.cpp.

	dontAskAgainName	A checkbox is added with which further confirmation can be turned off. The string is used to lookup and store the setting in kioslaverc.

Returns:: a button code, as defined in KMessageBox, or 0 on communication error.

Since:: 3.3

Definition at line 897 of file slavebase.cpp.

int SlaveBase::messageBox	(	MessageBoxType	type,

QString SlaveBase::metaData ( const QString & key )

Deprecated:: kept for binary compatibility Queries for config/meta-data sent by the application to the slave.

Definition at line 383 of file slavebase.cpp.

QString SlaveBase::metaData ( const QString & key ) const

Queries for config/meta-data send by the application to the slave.

Since:: 3.2

Definition at line 364 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::mimetype ( const KURL & url ) [virtual]

Finds mimetype for one file or directory.

This method should either emit 'mimeType' or it should send a block of data big enough to be able to determine the mimetype.

If the slave doesn't reimplement it, a get will be issued, i.e. the whole file will be downloaded before determining the mimetype on it - this is obviously not a good thing in most cases.

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingSlaveBase.

Definition at line 783 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::mimeType ( const QString & _type )

Call this in mimetype() and in get(), when you know the mimetype.

See mimetype about other ways to implement it.

Definition at line 575 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::mkdir	(	const KURL &	url,
		int	permissions
	)			`[virtual]`

Create a directory.

Parameters:

	url	path to the directory to create
	permissions	the permissions to set after creating the directory (-1 if no permissions to be set) The slave emits ERR_COULD_NOT_MKDIR if failure.

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingSlaveBase.

Definition at line 793 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::multiGet ( const QByteArray & data ) [virtual]

Used for multiple get.

Currently only used foir HTTP pielining support.

Parameters:

data

packed data; Contains number of URLs to fetch, and for each URL the URL itself and its associated MetaData.

Definition at line 799 of file slavebase.cpp.

bool KIO::SlaveBase::multipleAuthCaching ( ) const [inline]

Deprecated:: as of 3.1. Use openPassDlg instead. TODO: Remove before KDE 4.0

Definition at line 746 of file slavebase.h.

void SlaveBase::needSubURLData ( )

Call to signal that data from the sub-URL is needed.

Definition at line 466 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::openConnection ( void ) [virtual]

Opens the connection (forced) When this function gets called the slave is operating in connection-oriented mode.

When a connection gets lost while the slave operates in connection oriented mode, the slave should report ERR_CONNECTION_BROKEN instead of reconnecting. The user is expected to disconnect the slave in the error handler.

Definition at line 769 of file slavebase.cpp.

bool SlaveBase::openPassDlg ( KIO::AuthInfo & info )

Same as above function except it does not need error message.

BIC: Combine this function with the above for KDE4.

Definition at line 826 of file slavebase.cpp.

bool SlaveBase::openPassDlg	(	KIO::AuthInfo &	info,
		const QString &	errorMsg
	)

Prompt the user for Authorization info (login & password).

Use this function to request authorization information from the end user. You can also pass an error message which explains why a previous authorization attempt failed. Here is a very simple example:

 KIO::AuthInfo authInfo;
 if ( openPassDlg( authInfo ) )
 {
    kdDebug() << QString::fromLatin1("User: ")
              << authInfo.username << endl;
    kdDebug() << QString::fromLatin1("Password: ")
              << QString::fromLatin1("Not displayed here!") << endl;
 }

You can also preset some values like the username, caption or comment as follows:

 KIO::AuthInfo authInfo;
 authInfo.caption= "Acme Password Dialog";
 authInfo.username= "Wile E. Coyote";
 QString errorMsg = "You entered an incorrect password.";
 if ( openPassDlg( authInfo, errorMsg ) )
 {
    kdDebug() << QString::fromLatin1("User: ")
              << authInfo.username << endl;
    kdDebug() << QString::fromLatin1("Password: ")
              << QString::fromLatin1("Not displayed here!") << endl;
 }

Note:: You should consider using checkCachedAuthentication() to see if the password is available in kpasswdserver before calling this function.
A call to this function can fail and return false, if the UIServer could not be started for whatever reason.

See also:: checkCachedAuthentication

Parameters:

	info	See AuthInfo.
	errorMsg	Error message to show

Returns:: true if user clicks on "OK", false otherwsie.

Since:: 3.1

Definition at line 831 of file slavebase.cpp.

bool SlaveBase::pingCacheDaemon ( ) const

Deprecated:: as of 3.1. TODO: Remove before KDE 4.0

Definition at line 1157 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::processedPercent ( float percent )

Only use this if you can't know in advance the size of the copied data.

For example, if you're doing variable bitrate compression of the source.

STUB ! Currently unimplemented. Here now for binary compatibility.

Call this during get and copy, once in a while, to give some info about the current state. Don't emit it in listDir, listEntries speaks for itself.

Definition at line 538 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::processedSize ( KIO::filesize_t _bytes )

Call this during get and copy, once in a while, to give some info about the current state.

Don't emit it in listDir, listEntries speaks for itself.

Definition at line 502 of file slavebase.cpp.

Returns:: timeout value for connecting to proxy in secs.

Definition at line 1247 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::put	(	const KURL &	url,
		int	permissions,
		bool	overwrite,
		bool	resume
	)			`[virtual]`

put, i.e.

write data into a file.

Parameters:

	url	where to write the file
	permissions	may be -1. In this case no special permission mode is set.
	overwrite	if true, any existing file will be overwritten. If the file indeed already exists, the slave should NOT apply the permissions change to it.
	resume	currently unused, please ignore. The support for resuming using .part files is done by calling canResume().

IMPORTANT: Use the "modified" metadata in order to set the modification time of the file.

See also:: canResume()

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingSlaveBase.

Definition at line 775 of file slavebase.cpp.

int SlaveBase::readData ( QByteArray & buffer )

Read data send by the job, after a dataReq.

Parameters:

buffer

buffer where data is stored

Returns:: 0 on end of data, > 0 bytes read < 0 error

Definition at line 964 of file slavebase.cpp.

int SlaveBase::readTimeout ( )

Returns:: timeout value for read from subsequent data from remote host in secs.

Definition at line 1269 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::redirection ( const KURL & _url )

Call this to signal a redirection The job will take care of going to that url.

Definition at line 552 of file slavebase.cpp.

KRemoteEncoding * SlaveBase::remoteEncoding ( )

Returns an object that can translate remote filenames into proper Unicode forms.

This encoding can be set by the user.

Since:: 3.3

Definition at line 405 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::rename	(	const KURL &	src,
		const KURL &	dest,
		bool	overwrite
	)			`[virtual]`

Rename oldname into newname.

If the slave returns an error ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ACTION, the job will ask for copy + del instead.

Parameters:

	src	where to move the file from
	dest	where to move the file to
	overwrite	if true, any existing file will be overwritten

Reimplemented in KIO::ForwardingSlaveBase.

Definition at line 785 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::reparseConfiguration ( ) [virtual]

Called by the scheduler to tell the slave that the configuration changed (i.e.

proxy settings) .

Definition at line 806 of file slavebase.cpp.

bool SlaveBase::requestNetwork ( const QString & host = QString::null )

Used by the slave to check if it can connect to a given host.

This should be called where the slave is ready to do a connect() on a socket. For each call to requestNetwork must exist a matching call to dropNetwork, or the system will stay online until KNetMgr gets closed (or the SlaveBase gets destructed)!

If KNetMgr is not running, then this is a no-op and returns true

Parameters:

host

tells the netmgr the host the slave wants to connect to. As this could also be a proxy, we can't just take the host currenctly connected to (but that's the default value)

Returns:: true in theorie, the host is reachable false the system is offline and the host is in a remote network.

Definition at line 630 of file slavebase.cpp.

int SlaveBase::responseTimeout ( )

Returns:: timeout value for read from first data from remote host in seconds.

Definition at line 1258 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::sendAuthenticationKey	(	const QCString &	gKey,
		const QCString &	key,
		bool	keep
	)

Deprecated:: as of 3.1. Use openPassDlg instead. TODO: Remove before KDE 4.0

Cache authentication information is now stored automatically by openPassDlg.

Definition at line 714 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::sendMetaData ( )

Internal function to transmit meta data to the application.

Definition at line 395 of file slavebase.cpp.

void KIO::SlaveBase::setConnection ( Connection * connection ) [inline]

For internal use only.

Definition at line 65 of file slavebase.h.

void SlaveBase::setHost	(	const QString &	host,
		int	port,
		const QString &	user,
		const QString &	pass
	)			`[virtual]`

Set the host.

Parameters:

	host
	port
	user
	pass	Called directly by createSlave, this is why there is no equivalent in SlaveInterface, unlike the other methods.

This method is called whenever a change in host, port or user occurs.

Definition at line 765 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::setKillFlag ( )

Internally used.

For internal use only.

Since:: 3.1

Definition at line 1284 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::setMetaData	(	const QString &	key,
		const QString &	value
	)

Sets meta-data to be send to the application before the first data() or finished() signal.

Definition at line 359 of file slavebase.cpp.

void KIO::SlaveBase::setMultipleAuthCaching ( bool ) [inline]

Deprecated:: as of 3.1. Use openPassDlg instead. TODO: Remove before KDE 4.0

Definition at line 740 of file slavebase.h.

void SlaveBase::setSubURL ( const KURL & url ) [virtual]

Prepare slave for streaming operation.

Definition at line 797 of file slavebase.cpp.

void SlaveBase::setTimeoutSpecialCommand	(	int	timeout,
		const QByteArray &	data = `QByteArray()`
	)

This function sets a timeout of timeout seconds and calls special(data) when the timeout occurs as if it was called by the application.

A timeout can only occur when the slave is waiting for a command from the application.

Specifying a negative timeout cancels a pending timeout.

		bool	overwrite
	)			`[virtual]`

Creates a symbolic link named dest, pointing to target, which may be a relative or an absolute path.

Parameters:

	target	The string that will become the "target" of the link (can be relative)
	dest	The symlink to create.
	overwrite	whether to automatically overwrite if the dest exists

bool SlaveBase::wasKilled ( ) const

If your ioslave was killed by a signal, wasKilled() returns true.

Check it regularly in lengthy functions (e.g. in get();) and return as fast as possible from this function if wasKilled() returns true. This will ensure that your slave destructor will be called correctly.
