HTTP::OAI is a stub module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HTTP::OAI::Harvester is the harvesting front-end in the OAI-PERL library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To harvest from an OAI-PMH compliant repository create an HTTP::OAI::Harvester
|
||
|
|
object using the baseURL option and then call OAI-PMH methods to request data
|
||
|
|
from the repository. To handle version 1.0/1.1 repositories automatically you
|
||
|
|
must request Identify() first.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is recommended that you request an Identify from the Repository and use the
|
||
|
|
repository() method to update the Identify object used by the harvester.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When making OAI requests the underlying HTTP::OAI::UserAgent module will take
|
||
|
|
care of automatic redirection (http code 302) and retry-after (http code 503).
|
||
|
|
OAI-PMH flow control (i.e. resumption tokens) is handled transparently by
|
||
|
|
HTTP::OAI::Response.
