=head1 DATE TYPE SUPPORT

The latest 0.79 version of Storable::AMF added basic date support with the new_date() and perl_date() utilitiy functions. This is just great. Internally an AMF Date Type represents a timestamp in milliseconds since the epoch in UTC ("neutral") timezo...

 use Storable::AMF qw(new_date perl_date);

and make sure any date passed to an AMF::Connection as parameter is encoded with new_date().

=head2 OPEN ISSUES AND SHORTCOMINGS

There is still an issue when arbitrary Date structures are returned from an AMF server to an AMF::Connection (E.g. as part of values of structured AMF Objects). In this case, the AMF::Connection does not try to reparse the Perl object structure retur...

All this means that an AMF::Connection client application can not rely on those Date returned by the server as being Perl timestamps (seconds since the epoch) and will need explicitly call perl_date() or divide the timestamp by 1000 *explicitly*.

=head2 USING OLD Storable::AMF VERSIONS

In older versions (pre 0.79) of Storable::AMF there was no support for the AMF0/AFM3 Date Type, and everything was being passed as string to the server (E.g. "2010-09-22T02:34:00"). Or as double (number) if the date was in timestamp seconds since the...

=head1 MAPPING OBJECTS

By combining the power of Perl bless {}, $package_name syntax and the Storable::AMF freeze()/thaw() interface, it is possible to pass arbitrary structured AMF Objects the corresponding AMF server can interpret. This is possible due a simple Perl obje...

=head2 setHTTPCookieJar ($cookie_jar)

Allow to specify an alternative HTTP::Cookies jar. By default AMF::Connection keeps cookies into main-memory and the cookie jar is reset when a new connection is created. When a new cookies jar is set, any existing AMF::Connection cookie is copied ov...

=head2 getHTTPCookieJar ()

Return the current HTTP::Cookies jar in use.

=head2 setCredentials ($username,$password)

Minimal support for AMF authentication. Password seems to be wanted in clear.

=head2 setInputAMFOptions ($options)

Set input stream parsing options. See Storable::AMF0 for available options.

=head2 setOutputAMFOptions ($options)

Set output stream serialization options. See Storable::AMF0 for available options.
