=head1 NAME

Bio::DB::Query::WebQuery - Helper class for web-based sequence queryies

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Do not use this class directly.  See Bio::DB::QueryI and one of the
implementor classes (such as Bio::DB::GenBankQuery) for information.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Do not use this class directly.  See Bio::DB::QueryI and one of the
implementor classes (such as Bio::DB::GenBankQuery) for information.

Those writing subclasses must define _get_params() and
_parse_response(), and possibly override _request_method().

=head1 APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the
object methods. Internal methods are usually
preceded with a _

# Let the code begin...

package Bio::DB::Query::WebQuery;
use strict;
use URI;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use Bio::Root::Root;
use Bio::DB::QueryI;

use vars qw(@ISA $VERSION);

@ISA = qw(Bio::Root::Root Bio::DB::QueryI);
$VERSION = '0.1';

=head2 new

 Title   : new
 Usage   : $db = Bio::DB::WebQuery->new(@args)
 Function: create new query object
 Returns : new query object
 Args    : -db       database (e.g. 'protein')
           -ids      array ref of ids (overrides query)
           -verbose  turn on verbose debugging

This method creates a new query object.  Typically you will specify a
-db and a -query argument.  The value of -query is a database-specific
string.

If you provide an array reference of IDs in -ids, the query will be
ignored and the list of IDs will be used when the query is passed to
the database.
