# Socialtext::Resting::DefaultRester(3pm)

load a rester from a config file.

## NAME

Socialtext::Resting::DefaultRester - load a rester from a config file.

## SYNOPSIS

Load server, workspace and username from a file, so you don't need to specify that for every program using Socialtext::Resting.

```
    use Socialtext::Resting::DefaultRester;
    my $rester = Socialtext::Resting::DefaultRester->new;
    print $rester->get_page('Foo');
```

## FUNCTIONS

### new

Create a new Default Rester by using values from ~/.wikeditrc.

*Options:*

- rester-config

  File to use as the config file.  Defaults to `$ENV`{HOME}/.wikeditrc.

- class

  Specifies the rester class to use.  Defaults to Socialtext::Resting.

- \*

  All other args are passed through to the rester class's *new()*.

*Rester Config File*

The config file is expected to be in the following format:

```
  server = your-server
  workspace = some-workspace
  username = your-user
  password = your-password
```

Your password will become crypted the first time it is loaded if Crypt::CBC is installed.

Alternately, you can use this format:

```
  server = your-server
  workspace = some-workspace
  user_cookie = an-NLW-user-cookie
```
