=head1 NAME

bz_webservice_demo.pl - Show how to talk to Bugzilla via XMLRPC

=head1 SYNOPSIS

C<bz_webservice_demo.pl [options]>

C<bz_webservice_demo.pl --help> for detailed help

=cut

use strict;
use Getopt::Long;
use Pod::Usage;
use File::Basename qw(dirname);
use File::Spec;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use XMLRPC::Lite;

# If you want, say “use Bugzilla::WebService::Constants” here to get access
# to Bugzilla's web service error code constants.
# If you do this, remember to issue a “use lib” pointing to your Bugzilla
# installation directory, too.

GetOptions('help|h|?'       => \$help,
           'uri=s'          => \$Bugzilla_uri,
           'login:s'        => \$Bugzilla_login,

           'bug_id:s'       => \$bug_id,
           'product_name:s' => \$product_name,
          ) or pod2usage({'-verbose' => 0, '-exitval' => 1});

=head1 OPTIONS

=over

=item --help, -h, -?

Print a short help message and exit.

=item --uri

URI to Bugzilla's C<xmlrpc.cgi> script, along the lines of
C<http://your.bugzilla.installation/path/to/bugzilla/xmlrpc.cgi>.

=item --login

Bugzilla login name. Specify this together with B<--password> in order to log in.

Specify this without a value in order to log out.

=item --password

Bugzilla password. Specify this together with B<--login> in order to log in.

=item --rememberlogin

Gives access to Bugzilla's “Bugzilla_remember” option.
Specify this option while logging in to do the same thing as ticking the
C<Bugzilla_remember> box on Bugilla's log in form.
Don't specify this option to do the same thing as unchecking the box.

See Bugzilla's rememberlogin parameter for details.

=item --bug_id

Pass a bug ID to have C<bz_webservice_demo.pl> do some bug-related test calls.

=item --product_name

Pass a product name to have C<bz_webservice_demo.pl> do some product-related
test calls.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=cut

pod2usage({'-verbose' => 1, '-exitval' => 0}) if $help;
_syntaxhelp('URI unspecified') unless $Bugzilla_uri;

# We will use this variable for SOAP call results.
my $soapresult;

# We will use this variable for function call results.
my $result;

# Open our cookie jar. We save it into a file so that we may re-use cookies
# to avoid the need of logging in every time. You're encouraged, but not
# required, to do this in your applications, too.
# Cookies are only saved if Bugzilla's rememberlogin parameter is set to one of
#    - on
#    - defaulton (and you didn't pass 0 as third parameter to User.login)
#    - defaultoff (and you passed 1 as third parameter to User.login)
my $cookie_jar =
    new HTTP::Cookies('file' => File::Spec->catdir(dirname($0), 'cookies.txt'),
                      'autosave' => 1);

=head2 Initialization

Using the XMLRPC::Lite class, you set up a proxy, as shown in this script.
Bugzilla's XMLRPC URI ends in C<xmlrpc.cgi>, so your URI looks along the lines
of C<http://your.bugzilla.installation/path/to/bugzilla/xmlrpc.cgi>.

=cut

my $proxy = XMLRPC::Lite->proxy($Bugzilla_uri,
                                'cookie_jar' => $cookie_jar);

=head2 Checking Bugzilla's version

To make sure the Bugzilla you're connecting to supports the methods you wish to
call, you may want to compare the result of C<Bugzilla.version> to the
minimum required version your application needs.

=cut

$soapresult = $proxy->call('Bugzilla.version');
_die_on_fault($soapresult);
print 'Connecting to a Bugzilla of version ' . $soapresult->result() . ".\n";

=head2 Logging In and Out

=head3 Using Bugzilla's Environment Authentication

Use a
C<http://login:password@your.bugzilla.installation/path/to/bugzilla/xmlrpc.cgi>
style URI.
You don't log out if you're using this kind of authentication.

=head3 Using Bugzilla's CGI Variable Authentication

Use the C<User.login> and C<User.logout> calls to log in and out, as shown
in this script.

The C<Bugzilla_remember> parameter is optional.
If omitted, Bugzilla's defaults apply (as specified by its C<rememberlogin>
parameter).

Bugzilla hands back cookies you'll need to pass along during your work calls.

=cut

if (defined($Bugzilla_login)) {
    if ($Bugzilla_login ne '') {
        # Log in.
        $soapresult = $proxy->call('User.login',
                                   $Bugzilla_login, $Bugzilla_password,
                                   $Bugzilla_remember);
        _die_on_fault($soapresult);
        print "Login successful.\n";
    }
    else {
        # Log out.
        $soapresult = $proxy->call('User.logout');
        _die_on_fault($soapresult);
        print "Logout successful.\n";
    }
}

=head2 Retrieving Bug Information

Call C<Bug.get_bug> with the ID of the bug you want to know more of.
The call will return a C<Bugzilla::Bug> object.

=cut

if ($bug_id) {
    $soapresult = $proxy->call('Bug.get_bug', $bug_id);
    _die_on_fault($soapresult);
    $result = $soapresult->result;

    foreach (keys(%$result)) {
        print "$_: $$result{$_}\n";
    }
}

=head2 Retrieving Product Information

Call C<Product.get_product> with the name of the product you want to know more
of.
The call will return a C<Bugzilla::Product> object.

=cut

if ($product_name) {
    $soapresult = $proxy->call('Product.get_product', $product_name);
    _die_on_fault($soapresult);
    $result = $soapresult->result;

    if (ref($result) eq 'HASH') {
        foreach (keys(%$result)) {
            print "$_: $$result{$_}\n";
        }
    }
    else {
        print "$result\n";
    }
}

=head1 NOTES

=head2 Character Set Encoding

Make sure that your application either uses the same character set
encoding as Bugzilla does, or that it converts correspondingly when using the
web service API.
By default, Bugzilla uses UTF-8 as its character set encoding.

=head1 SEE ALSO

There are code comments in C<bz_webservice_demo.pl> which might be of further
help to you.
