"""HTML form handling for web clients.

ClientForm is a Python module for handling HTML forms on the client
side, useful for parsing HTML forms, filling them in and returning the
completed forms to the server.  It has developed from a port of Gisle
Aas' Perl module HTML::Form, from the libwww-perl library, but the
interface is not the same.

The most useful docstring is the one for HTMLForm.

# XXX
# Remove unescape_attr method
# Remove parser testing hack
# safeUrl()-ize action
# Really should to merge CC, CF, pp and mechanize as soon as mechanize
#  goes to beta...
# Add url attribute to ParseError
# Switch to unicode throughout (would be 0.3.x)
#  See Wichert Akkerman's 2004-01-22 message to c.l.py.
# Add charset parameter to Content-type headers?  How to find value??
# Add some more functional tests
#  Especially single and multiple file upload on the internet.
#  Does file upload work when name is missing?  Sourceforge tracker form
#   doesn't like it.  Check standards, and test with Apache.  Test
#   binary upload with Apache.
# Controls can have name=None (e.g. forms constructed partly with
#  JavaScript), but find_control can't be told to find a control
#  with that name, because None there means 'unspecified'.  Can still
#  get at by nr, but would be nice to be able to specify something
#  equivalent to name=None, too.
# mailto submission & enctype text/plain
# I'm not going to fix this unless somebody tells me what real servers
#  that want this encoding actually expect: If enctype is
#  application/x-www-form-urlencoded and there's a FILE control present.
#  Strictly, it should be 'name=data' (see HTML 4.01 spec., section
#  17.13.2), but I send "name=" ATM.  What about multiple file upload??

# Would be nice, but I'm not going to do it myself:
# -------------------------------------------------
# Maybe a 0.4.x?
#   Replace by_label etc. with moniker / selector concept. Allows, eg.,
#    a choice between selection by value / id / label / element
#    contents.  Or choice between matching labels exactly or by
#    substring.  Etc.
#   Remove deprecated methods.
#   ...what else?
# Work on DOMForm.
# XForms?  Don't know if there's a need here.

# This cut-n-pasted MimeWriter from standard library is here so can add
# to HTTP headers rather than message body when appropriate.  It also uses
# \r\n in place of \n.  This is a bit nasty.
class MimeWriter:

    """Generic MIME writer.

    Methods:

    __init__()
    addheader()
    flushheaders()
    startbody()
    startmultipartbody()
    nextpart()
    lastpart()

    A MIME writer is much more primitive than a MIME parser.  It
    doesn't seek around on the output file, and it doesn't use large
    amounts of buffer space, so you have to write the parts in the
    order they should occur on the output file.  It does buffer the
    headers you add, allowing you to rearrange their order.

    General usage is:

    f = <open the output file>
    w = MimeWriter(f)
    ...call w.addheader(key, value) 0 or more times...

    followed by either:

    f = w.startbody(content_type)
    ...call f.write(data) for body data...

    or:

    w.startmultipartbody(subtype)
    for each part:
        subwriter = w.nextpart()
        ...use the subwriter's methods to create the subpart...
    w.lastpart()

    The subwriter is another MimeWriter instance, and should be
    treated in the same way as the toplevel MimeWriter.  This way,
    writing recursive body parts is easy.

    Warning: don't forget to call lastpart()!

    XXX There should be more state so calls made in the wrong order
    are detected.

    Some special cases:

    - startbody() just returns the file passed to the constructor;
      but don't use this knowledge, as it may be changed.

    - startmultipartbody() actually returns a file as well;
      this can be used to write the initial 'if you can read this your
      mailer is not MIME-aware' message.

    - If you call flushheaders(), the headers accumulated so far are
      written out (and forgotten); this is useful if you don't need a
      body part at all, e.g. for a subpart of type message/rfc822
      that's (mis)used to store some header-like information.

    - Passing a keyword argument 'prefix=<flag>' to addheader(),
      start*body() affects where the header is inserted; 0 means
      append at the end, 1 means insert at the start; default is
      append for addheader(), but insert for start*body(), which use
      it to determine where the Content-type header goes.

    ClientForm.ParseError is raised on parse errors.

    response: file-like object (supporting read() method) with a method
     geturl(), returning the URI of the HTTP response
    select_default: for multiple-selection SELECT controls and RADIO controls,
     pick the first item as the default if none are selected in the HTML
    form_parser_class: class to instantiate and use to pass
    request_class: class to return from .click() method (default is
     urllib2.Request)
    entitydefs: mapping like {"&amp;": "&", ...} containing HTML entity
     definitions (a sensible default is used)
    encoding: character encoding used for encoding numeric character references
     when matching link text.  ClientForm does not attempt to find the encoding
     in a META HTTP-EQUIV attribute in the document itself (mechanize, for
     example, does do that and will pass the correct value to ClientForm using
     this parameter).

    backwards_compat: boolean that determines whether the returned HTMLForm
     objects are backwards-compatible with old code.  If backwards_compat is
     true:

     - ClientForm 0.1 code will continue to work as before.

     - Label searches that do not specify a nr (number or count) will always
       get the first match, even if other controls match.  If
       backwards_compat is False, label searches that have ambiguous results
       will raise an AmbiguityError.

     - Item label matching is done by strict string comparison rather than
       substring matching.

     - De-selecting individual list items is allowed even if the Item is
       disabled.

    The backwards_compat argument will be deprecated in a future release.

    Pass a true value for select_default if you want the behaviour specified by
    RFC 1866 (the HTML 2.0 standard), which is to select the first item in a
    RADIO or multiple-selection SELECT control if none were selected in the
    HTML.  Most browsers (including Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) and
    Netscape Navigator) instead leave all items unselected in these cases.  The
    W3C HTML 4.0 standard leaves this behaviour undefined in the case of
    multiple-selection SELECT controls, but insists that at least one RADIO
    button should be checked at all times, in contradiction to browser
    behaviour.

    There is a choice of parsers.  ClientForm.XHTMLCompatibleFormParser (uses
    HTMLParser.HTMLParser) works best for XHTML, ClientForm.FormParser (uses
    sgmllib.SGMLParser) (the default) works better for ordinary grubby HTML.
    Note that HTMLParser is only available in Python 2.2 and later.  You can
    pass your own class in here as a hack to work around bad HTML, but at your
    own risk: there is no well-defined interface.

    """An HTML form control.

    An HTMLForm contains a sequence of Controls.  The Controls in an HTMLForm
    are accessed using the HTMLForm.find_control method or the
    HTMLForm.controls attribute.

    Control instances are usually constructed using the ParseFile /
    ParseResponse functions.  If you use those functions, you can ignore the
    rest of this paragraph.  A Control is only properly initialised after the
    fixup method has been called.  In fact, this is only strictly necessary for
    ListControl instances.  This is necessary because ListControls are built up
    from ListControls each containing only a single item, and their initial
    value(s) can only be known after the sequence is complete.

    The types and values that are acceptable for assignment to the value
    attribute are defined by subclasses.

    If the disabled attribute is true, this represents the state typically
    represented by browsers by 'greying out' a control.  If the disabled
    attribute is true, the Control will raise AttributeError if an attempt is
    made to change its value.  In addition, the control will not be considered
    'successful' as defined by the W3C HTML 4 standard -- ie. it will
    contribute no data to the return value of the HTMLForm.click* methods.  To
    enable a control, set the disabled attribute to a false value.

    If the readonly attribute is true, the Control will raise AttributeError if
    an attempt is made to change its value.  To make a control writable, set
    the readonly attribute to a false value.

    All controls have the disabled and readonly attributes, not only those that
    may have the HTML attributes of the same names.

    On assignment to the value attribute, the following exceptions are raised:
    TypeError, AttributeError (if the value attribute should not be assigned
    to, because the control is disabled, for example) and ValueError.

    If the name or value attributes are None, or the value is an empty list, or
    if the control is disabled, the control is not successful.

    Public attributes:

    The value attribute of a ListControl represents the successful list items
    in the control.  The successful list items are those that are selected and
    not disabled.

    ListControl implements both list controls that take a length-1 value
    (single-selection) and those that take length >1 values
    (multiple-selection).

    ListControls accept sequence values only.  Some controls only accept
    sequences of length 0 or 1 (RADIO, and single-selection SELECT).
    In those cases, ItemCountError is raised if len(sequence) > 1.  CHECKBOXes
    and multiple-selection SELECTs (those having the "multiple" HTML attribute)
    accept sequences of any length.

    Note the following mistake:

    control.value = some_value
    assert control.value == some_value    # not necessarily true

    The reason for this is that the value attribute always gives the list items
    in the order they were listed in the HTML.

    ListControl items can also be referred to by their labels instead of names.
    Use the label argument to .get(), and the .set_value_by_label(),
    .get_value_by_label() methods.

    Note that, rather confusingly, though SELECT controls are represented in
    HTML by SELECT elements (which contain OPTION elements, representing
    individual list items), CHECKBOXes and RADIOs are not represented by *any*
    element.  Instead, those controls are represented by a collection of INPUT
    elements.  For example, this is a SELECT control, named "control1":

    <select name="control1">
     <option>foo</option>
     <option value="1">bar</option>
    </select>

    and this is a CHECKBOX control, named "control2":

    <input type="checkbox" name="control2" value="foo" id="cbe1">
    <input type="checkbox" name="control2" value="bar" id="cbe2">

    The id attribute of a CHECKBOX or RADIO ListControl is always that of its
    first element (for example, "cbe1" above).

    SELECT (and OPTION)


    OPTION 'values', in HTML parlance, are Item 'names' in ClientForm parlance.


    OPTION 'values', in HTML parlance, are Item 'names' in ClientForm parlance.

    SELECT control values and labels are subject to some messy defaulting
    rules.  For example, if the HTML representation of the control is:

    <SELECT name=year>
      <OPTION value=0 label="2002">current year</OPTION>
      <OPTION value=1>2001</OPTION>
      <OPTION>2000</OPTION>
    </SELECT>

    The items, in order, have labels "2002", "2001" and "2000", whereas their
    names (the OPTION values) are "0", "1" and "2000" respectively.  Note that
    the value of the last OPTION in this example defaults to its contents, as
    specified by RFC 1866, as do the labels of the second and third OPTIONs.

    The OPTION labels are sometimes more meaningful than the OPTION values,
    which can make for more maintainable code.

    Additional read-only public attribute: attrs

    The attrs attribute is a dictionary of the original HTML attributes of the
    SELECT element.  Other ListControls do not have this attribute, because in
    other cases the control as a whole does not correspond to any single HTML
    element.  control.get(...).attrs may be used as usual to get at the HTML
    attributes of the HTML elements corresponding to individual list items (for
    SELECT controls, these are OPTION elements).

    Another special case is that the Item.attrs dictionaries have a special key
    "contents" which does not correspond to any real HTML attribute, but rather
    contains the contents of the OPTION element:

    <OPTION>this bit</OPTION>

    """
    # HTML attributes here are treated slightly differently from other list
    # controls:
    # -The SELECT HTML attributes dictionary is stuffed into the OPTION
    #  HTML attributes dictionary under the "__select" key.
    # -The content of each OPTION element is stored under the special
    #  "contents" key of the dictionary.
    # After all this, the dictionary is passed to the SelectControl constructor
    # as the attrs argument, as usual.  However:
    # -The first SelectControl constructed when building up a SELECT control
    #  has a constructor attrs argument containing only the __select key -- so

class HTMLForm:
    """Represents a single HTML <form> ... </form> element.

    A form consists of a sequence of controls that usually have names, and
    which can take on various values.  The values of the various types of
    controls represent variously: text, zero-or-one-of-many or many-of-many
    choices, and files to be uploaded.  Some controls can be clicked on to
    submit the form, and clickable controls' values sometimes include the
    coordinates of the click.

    Forms can be filled in with data to be returned to the server, and then
    submitted, using the click method to generate a request object suitable for
    passing to urllib2.urlopen (or the click_request_data or click_pairs
    methods if you're not using urllib2).

    import ClientForm
    forms = ClientForm.ParseFile(html, base_uri)
    form = forms[0]

    form["query"] = "Python"
    form.find_control("nr_results").get("lots").selected = True

    response = urllib2.urlopen(form.click())

    Usually, HTMLForm instances are not created directly.  Instead, the
    ParseFile or ParseResponse factory functions are used.  If you do construct
    HTMLForm objects yourself, however, note that an HTMLForm instance is only
    properly initialised after the fixup method has been called (ParseFile and
    ParseResponse do this for you).  See ListControl.__doc__ for the reason
    this is required.

    Indexing a form (form["control_name"]) returns the named Control's value
    attribute.  Assignment to a form index (form["control_name"] = something)
    is equivalent to assignment to the named Control's value attribute.  If you
    need to be more specific than just supplying the control's name, use the
    set_value and get_value methods.

    ListControl values are lists of item names (specifically, the names of the
    items that are selected and not disabled, and hence are "successful" -- ie.
    cause data to be returned to the server).  The list item's name is the
    value of the corresponding HTML element's"value" attribute.

    Example:

      <INPUT type="CHECKBOX" name="cheeses" value="leicester"></INPUT>
      <INPUT type="CHECKBOX" name="cheeses" value="cheddar"></INPUT>

    defines a CHECKBOX control with name "cheeses" which has two items, named
    "leicester" and "cheddar".

    Another example:

      <SELECT name="more_cheeses">
        <OPTION>1</OPTION>
        <OPTION value="2" label="CHEDDAR">cheddar</OPTION>
      </SELECT>

    defines a SELECT control with name "more_cheeses" which has two items,
    named "1" and "2" (because the OPTION element's value HTML attribute
    defaults to the element contents -- see SelectControl.__doc__ for more on
    these defaulting rules).

    To select, deselect or otherwise manipulate individual list items, use the
    HTMLForm.find_control() and ListControl.get() methods.  To set the whole
    value, do as for any other control: use indexing or the set_/get_value
    methods.

    Example:

    # select *only* the item named "cheddar"
    form["cheeses"] = ["cheddar"]
    # select "cheddar", leave other items unaffected
    form.find_control("cheeses").get("cheddar").selected = True

    Some controls (RADIO and SELECT without the multiple attribute) can only
    have zero or one items selected at a time.  Some controls (CHECKBOX and
    SELECT with the multiple attribute) can have multiple items selected at a
    time.  To set the whole value of a ListControl, assign a sequence to a form
    index:

    form["cheeses"] = ["cheddar", "leicester"]

    If the ListControl is not multiple-selection, the assigned list must be of
    length one.

    To check if a control has an item, if an item is selected, or if an item is
    successful (selected and not disabled), respectively:

    "cheddar" in [item.name for item in form.find_control("cheeses").items]
    "cheddar" in [item.name for item in form.find_control("cheeses").items and
                  item.selected]
    "cheddar" in form["cheeses"]  # (or "cheddar" in form.get_value("cheeses"))

    Note that some list items may be disabled (see below).

    Note the following mistake:

    form[control_name] = control_value
    assert form[control_name] == control_value  # not necessarily true

    The reason for this is that form[control_name] always gives the list items
    in the order they were listed in the HTML.

    List items (hence list values, too) can be referred to in terms of list
    item labels rather than list item names using the appropriate label
    arguments.  Note that each item may have several labels.

    The question of default values of OPTION contents, labels and values is
    somewhat complicated: see SelectControl.__doc__ and
    ListControl.get_item_attrs.__doc__ if you think you need to know.

    Controls can be disabled or readonly.  In either case, the control's value
    cannot be changed until you clear those flags (see example below).
    Disabled is the state typically represented by browsers by 'greying out' a
    control.  Disabled controls are not 'successful' -- they don't cause data
    to get returned to the server.  Readonly controls usually appear in
    browsers as read-only text boxes.  Readonly controls are successful.  List
    items can also be disabled.  Attempts to select or deselect disabled items
    fail with AttributeError.

    If a lot of controls are readonly, it can be useful to do this:

    form.set_all_readonly(False)

    To clear a control's value attribute, so that it is not successful (until a
    value is subsequently set):

    form.clear("cheeses")

    More examples:

    control = form.find_control("cheeses")
    control.disabled = False
    control.readonly = False
    control.get("gruyere").disabled = True
    control.items[0].selected = True

    See the various Control classes for further documentation.  Many methods
    take name, type, kind, id, label and nr arguments to specify the control to
    be operated on: see HTMLForm.find_control.__doc__.

    ControlNotFoundError (subclass of ValueError) is raised if the specified
    control can't be found.  This includes occasions where a non-ListControl
    is found, but the method (set, for example) requires a ListControl.
    ItemNotFoundError (subclass of ValueError) is raised if a list item can't
    be found.  ItemCountError (subclass of ValueError) is raised if an attempt
    is made to select more than one item and the control doesn't allow that, or
    set/get_single are called and the control contains more than one item.
    AttributeError is raised if a control or item is readonly or disabled and
    an attempt is made to alter its value.

    Security note: Remember that any passwords you store in HTMLForm instances
    will be saved to disk in the clear if you pickle them (directly or
    indirectly).  The simplest solution to this is to avoid pickling HTMLForm
    objects.  You could also pickle before filling in any password, or just set
    the password to "" before pickling.
