# This is the base class for the Pluggable Parsers.  If Mechanize cannot find
# an appropriate class to use for the content type, this class will be used.
# For example, if you download an image/jpeg, Mechanize will not know how to
# parse it, so this class will be instantiated.
#
# This is a good class to use as the base class for building your own
# pluggable parsers.
#
# == Example
#
#   require 'mechanize'
#
#   agent = Mechanize.new
#   agent.get('http://example.com/foo.jpg').class  #=> Mechanize::File

class Mechanize::File

  include Mechanize::Parser

  ##
  # The HTTP response body, the raw file contents

  attr_accessor :body

  ##
  # The filename for this file based on the content-disposition of the
  # response or the basename of the URL

  attr_accessor :filename

  alias content body

  ##
  # Creates a new file retrieved from the given +uri+ and +response+ object.
  # The +body+ is the HTTP response body and +code+ is the HTTP status.

  # Use this method to save the content of this object to +filename+.
  #

  # This method will overwrite any existing filename that exists with the
  # same name.
  #
  #   file.save 'index.html'
  #   file.save! 'index.html' # overwrite original file
