NAME

       RT::Client::REST::Attachment -- this object represents an attachment.

SYNOPSIS

	 my $attachments = $ticket->attachments;

	 my $count = $attachments->count;
	 print "There are $count attachments.
";

	 my $iterator = $attachments->get_iterator;
	 while (my $att = &$iterator) {
	     print "Id: ", $att->id, "; Subject: ", $att->subject, "
";
	 }

DESCRIPTION

       An attachment is a second-class citizen, as it does not exist (at least from the current REST protocol implementation) by itself.  At the
       moment, it is always associated with a ticket (see parent_id attribute).  Thus, you will rarely retrieve an attachment by itself; instead,
       you should use "attachments()" method of RT::Client::REST::Ticket object to get an iterator for all attachments for that ticket.

ATTRIBUTES

       id
	 Numeric ID of the attachment.

       creator_id
	 Numeric ID of the user who created the attachment.

       parent_id
	 Numeric ID of the object the attachment is associated with.  This is not a proper attribute of the attachment as specified by REST -- it
	 is simply to store the ID of the RT::Client::REST::Ticket object this attachment belongs to.

       subject
	 Subject of the attachment.

       content_type
	 Content type.

       file_name
	 File name (if any).

       transaction_id
	 Numeric ID of the RT::Client::REST::Transaction object this attachment is associated with.

       message_id
	 Message ID.

       created
	 Time when the attachment was created

       content
	 Actual content of the attachment.

       headers
	 Headers (not parsed), if any.

       parent
	 Parent (not sure what this is yet).

       content_encoding
	 Content encoding, if any.

METHODS

       RT::Client::REST::Attachment is a read-only object, so you cannot "store()" it.	Also, because it is a second-class citizen, you cannot
       "search()" or "count()" it -- use "attachments()" method provided by RT::Client::REST::Ticket.

       retrieve
	 To retrieve an attachment, attributes id and parent_id must be set.

INTERNAL METHODS

       rt_type
	 Returns 'attachment'.
