DESCRIPTION
    Jifty is a full-stack web framework. It provides an optional REST
    interface for applications. Using this module, you can interact with
    that REST interface to write client-side utilities.

    You can use this module directly, but you'll be better off subclassing
    it, such as what we've done for Net::Hiveminder.

  login
    This assumes your site is using Jifty::Plugin::Authentication::Password.
    If that's not the case, override this in your subclass.

  call Action, Args
    This uses the Jifty "web services" API to perform an action. This is NOT
    the REST interface, though it resembles it to some degree.

    This module currently only uses this to log in.

  method Method, URL[, Args]
    This will perform a GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc using the internal
    LWP::UserAgent object.

    Your URL may be a string or an array reference (which will have its
    parts properly escaped and joined with "/"). Your URL already has
    "http://your.site/=/" prepended to it, and ".yml" appended to it, so you
    only need to pass something like "model/YourApp.Model.Foo/name", or
    "["model", "YourApp.Model.Foo", "name"]".

    This will return the data structure returned by the Jifty application,
    or throw an error.

  post URL, Args
    This will post the arguments to the specified URL. See the documentation
    for "method".

  get URL, Args
    This will get the specified URL, using the arguments. See the
    documentation for "method".

  act Action, Args
    Perform the specified action, using the specified arguments.

  create Model, FIELDS
    Create a new object of type Model with the FIELDS set.

  delete Model, Key => Value
    Find some Model where Key => Value and delete it

  update Model, Key => Value, FIELDS
    Find some Model where Key => Value and set FIELDS on it.

  read Model, Key => Value
    Find some Model where Key => Value and return it.

  canonicalize_package Type, Package
    Prepends "$appname.$Type." to $Package unless it's there already.

  canonicalize_action Action
    Prepends "$appname.Action." unless it's there already.

  canonicalize_model Model
    Prepends "$appname.Model." unless it's there already.

  get_sid
    Retrieves the SID from the LWP::UserAgent object

  join_url Fragments
    Encodes the fragments and joins them with "/".

  escape Strings
    URI escapes each string
