=item $ff->uri
The uri you passed to the constructor
=item $ff->scheme
The scheme from the uri (like 'file', 'http', etc)
=item $ff->host
The hostname in the uri. Will be empty if host was originally
'localhost' for a 'file://' url.
=item $ff->vol
On operating systems with the concept of a volume the second element
of a file:// is considered to the be volume specification for the file.
Thus on Win32 this routine returns the volume, on other operating
systems this returns nothing.
On Windows this value may be empty if the uri is to a network share, in
which case the 'share' property will be defined. Additionally, volume
specifications that use '|' as ':' will be converted on read to use ':'.
On VMS, which has a volume concept, this field will be empty because VMS
file specifications are converted to absolute UNIX format and the volume
information is transparently included.
=item $ff->share
On systems with the concept of a network share (currently only Windows) returns
the sharename from a file://// url. On other operating systems returns empty.
=item $ff->path
The path from the uri, will be at least a single '/'.
=item $ff->file
The name of the remote file. For the local file name, the
result of $ff->output_file will be used.

### For windows file shares there may be a 'share' key specified
###
### 'share' => 'sharename'
###
### Note that the rules of what a file:// url means vary by the operating system
### of the host being addressed. Thus file:///d|/foo/bar.txt means the obvious
### 'D:\foo\bar.txt' on windows, but on unix it means '/d|/foo/bar.txt' and
### not '/foo/bar.txt'
###
### Similarly if the host interpreting the url is VMS then
### file:///disk$user/my/notes/note12345.txt' means
### 'DISK$USER:[MY.NOTES]NOTE123456.TXT' but will be returned the same as
### if it is unix where it means /disk$user/my/notes/note12345.txt'.

### handle UNIX format file specifications.

=head1 HOW IT WORKS
File::Fetch is able to fetch a variety of uris, by using several
external programs and modules.
Below is a mapping of what utilities will be used in what order
for what schemes, if available:
file => LWP, lftp, file
http => LWP, HTTP::Lite, wget, curl, lftp, fetch, lynx, iosock
ftp => LWP, Net::FTP, wget, curl, lftp, fetch, ncftp, ftp
rsync => rsync
If you'd like to disable the use of one or more of these utilities
and/or modules, see the C<$BLACKLIST> variable further down.
If a utility or module isn't available, it will be marked in a cache
(see the C<$METHOD_FAIL> variable further down), so it will not be
tried again. The C<fetch> method will only fail when all options are
exhausted, and it was not able to retrieve the file.
The C<fetch> utility is available on FreeBSD. NetBSD and Dragonfly BSD
may also have it from C<pkgsrc>. We only check for C<fetch> on those
three platforms.
C<iosock> is a very limited L<IO::Socket::INET> based mechanism for
retrieving C<http> schemed urls. It doesn't follow redirects for instance.
A special note about fetching files from an ftp uri:
By default, all ftp connections are done in passive mode. To change
that, see the C<$FTP_PASSIVE> variable further down.
Furthermore, ftp uris only support anonymous connections, so no
named user/password pair can be passed along.
C</bin/ftp> is blacklisted by default; see the C<$BLACKLIST> variable
further down.
=head1 GLOBAL VARIABLES
The behaviour of File::Fetch can be altered by changing the following
global variables:
=head2 $File::Fetch::FROM_EMAIL
This is the email address that will be sent as your anonymous ftp
password.
Default is C<File-Fetch@example.com>.
=head2 $File::Fetch::USER_AGENT
This is the useragent as C<LWP> will report it.
Default is C<File::Fetch/$VERSION>.
=head2 $File::Fetch::FTP_PASSIVE
This variable controls whether the environment variable C<FTP_PASSIVE>
and any passive switches to commandline tools will be set to true.
Default value is 1.
Note: When $FTP_PASSIVE is true, C<ncftp> will not be used to fetch
files, since passive mode can only be set interactively for this binary
=head2 $File::Fetch::TIMEOUT
When set, controls the network timeout (counted in seconds).
Default value is 0.
=head2 $File::Fetch::WARN
This variable controls whether errors encountered internally by
C<File::Fetch> should be C<carp>'d or not.
Set to false to silence warnings. Inspect the output of the C<error()>
method manually to see what went wrong.
Defaults to C<true>.
=head2 $File::Fetch::DEBUG
This enables debugging output when calling commandline utilities to
fetch files.
This also enables C<Carp::longmess> errors, instead of the regular
C<carp> errors.
Good for tracking down why things don't work with your particular
setup.
Default is 0.
=head2 $File::Fetch::BLACKLIST
This is an array ref holding blacklisted modules/utilities for fetching
files with.
To disallow the use of, for example, C<LWP> and C<Net::FTP>, you could
set $File::Fetch::BLACKLIST to:
$File::Fetch::BLACKLIST = [qw|lwp netftp|]
The default blacklist is [qw|ftp|], as C</bin/ftp> is rather unreliable.
See the note on C<MAPPING> below.
=head2 $File::Fetch::METHOD_FAIL
This is a hashref registering what modules/utilities were known to fail
for fetching files (mostly because they weren't installed).
You can reset this cache by assigning an empty hashref to it, or
individually remove keys.
See the note on C<MAPPING> below.
=head1 MAPPING
Here's a quick mapping for the utilities/modules, and their names for
the $BLACKLIST, $METHOD_FAIL and other internal functions.
LWP => lwp
HTTP::Lite => httplite
HTTP::Tiny => httptiny
Net::FTP => netftp
wget => wget
lynx => lynx
ncftp => ncftp
ftp => ftp
curl => curl
rsync => rsync
lftp => lftp
fetch => fetch
IO::Socket => iosock
=head1 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
=head2 So how do I use a proxy with File::Fetch?
C<File::Fetch> currently only supports proxies with LWP::UserAgent.
You will need to set your environment variables accordingly. For
example, to use an ftp proxy:
$ENV{ftp_proxy} = 'foo.com';
Refer to the LWP::UserAgent manpage for more details.
=head2 I used 'lynx' to fetch a file, but its contents is all wrong!
C<lynx> can only fetch remote files by dumping its contents to C<STDOUT>,
which we in turn capture. If that content is a 'custom' error file
(like, say, a C<404 handler>), you will get that contents instead.
Sadly, C<lynx> doesn't support any options to return a different exit
code on non-C<200 OK> status, giving us no way to tell the difference
between a 'successful' fetch and a custom error page.
Therefor, we recommend to only use C<lynx> as a last resort. This is
why it is at the back of our list of methods to try as well.
=head2 Files I'm trying to fetch have reserved characters or non-ASCII characters in them. What do I do?
C<File::Fetch> is relatively smart about things. When trying to write
a file to disk, it removes the C<query parameters> (see the
C<output_file> method for details) from the file name before creating
it. In most cases this suffices.
If you have any other characters you need to escape, please install
the C<URI::Escape> module from CPAN, and pre-encode your URI before
passing it to C<File::Fetch>. You can read about the details of URIs
and URI encoding here:
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2396.html
