=head1 NAME

HTML::HeadParser - Parse <HEAD> section of a HTML document

=head1 SYNOPSIS

require HTML::HeadParser;
 $p = HTML::HeadParser->new;
 $p->parse($text) and  print "not finished";

$p->header('Title')          # to access <title>....</title>
 $p->header('Content-Base')   # to access <base href="http://...">
 $p->header('Foo')            # to access <meta http-equiv="Foo" content="...">
 $p->header('X-Meta-Author')  # to access <meta name="author" content="...">
 $p->header('X-Meta-Charset') # to access <meta charset="...">

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The C<HTML::HeadParser> is a specialized (and lightweight)
C<HTML::Parser> that will only parse the E<lt>HEAD>...E<lt>/HEAD>
section of an HTML document.  The parse() method
will return a FALSE value as soon as some E<lt>BODY> element or body
text are found, and should not be called again after this.

Note that the C<HTML::HeadParser> might get confused if raw undecoded
UTF-8 is passed to the parse() method.  Make sure the strings are
properly decoded before passing them on.

The C<HTML::HeadParser> keeps a reference to a header object, and the
parser will update this header object as the various elements of the
E<lt>HEAD> section of the HTML document are recognized.  The following
header fields are affected:

=over 4

=item Content-Base:

The I<Content-Base> header is initialized from the E<lt>base
href="..."> element.

=item Title:

The I<Title> header is initialized from the E<lt>title>...E<lt>/title>
element.

=item Isindex:

The I<Isindex> header will be added if there is a E<lt>isindex>
element in the E<lt>head>.  The header value is initialized from the
I<prompt> attribute if it is present.  If no I<prompt> attribute is
given it will have '?' as the value.

=item X-Meta-Foo:

All E<lt>meta> elements containing a C<name> attribute will result in
headers using the prefix C<X-Meta-> appended with the value of the
C<name> attribute as the name of the header, and the value of the
C<content> attribute as the pushed header value.

E<lt>meta> elements containing a C<http-equiv> attribute will result
in headers as in above, but without the C<X-Meta-> prefix in the
header name.

E<lt>meta> elements containing a C<charset> attribute will result in
an C<X-Meta-Charset> header, using the value of the C<charset>
attribute as the pushed header value.

The ':' character can't be represented in header field names, so
if the meta element contains this char it's substituted with '-'
before forming the field name.

=head1 METHODS

The following methods (in addition to those provided by the
superclass) are available:

=item $hp = HTML::HeadParser->new

=item $hp = HTML::HeadParser->new( $header )

The object constructor.  The optional $header argument should be a
reference to an object that implement the header() and push_header()
methods as defined by the C<HTTP::Headers> class.  Normally it will be
of some class that is a or delegates to the C<HTTP::Headers> class.

If no $header is given C<HTML::HeadParser> will create an
C<HTTP::Headers> object by itself (initially empty).

    $self->{'text'} = '';  # the accumulated text associated with the element
    $self;
}

=item $hp->header;

Returns a reference to the header object.

=item $hp->header( $key )

Returns a header value.  It is just a shorter way to write
C<$hp-E<gt>header-E<gt>header($key)>.
