261There are three variants of the timeouts that work independently of each
262other, for both read and write (triggered when nothing was read I<OR>

264C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks

298=item wbuf_max => <bytes>
299
300If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
301when the write buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
302avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
303
304Although the units of this parameter is bytes, this is the I<raw> number
305of bytes not yet accepted by the kernel. This can make a difference when
306you e.g. use TLS, as TLS typically makes your write data larger (but it
307can also make it smaller due to compression).
308
309As an example of when this limit is useful, take a chat server that sends
310chat messages to a client. If the client does not read those in a timely
311manner then the send buffer in the server would grow unbounded.

338
339=item keepalive => <boolean>
340
341Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
342normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
343connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
344side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
345TCP connections when the other side becomes unreachable. While the default
346is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
347and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
348to 15 minutes later.
349
350It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
351keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
352is usually a good idea.
353
354=item oobinline => <boolean>
355
356BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
357is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
358implements it slightly differently.
359
360If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
361is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
362putting it into the stream.
363
364Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
365security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
366unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
367establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
368already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
369from most attacks.

507For security reasons, this encoder will likely I<not> handle numbers and
508strings, only arrays and objects/hashes. The reason is that originally
509JSON was self-delimited, but Dougles Crockford thought it was a splendid
510idea to redefine JSON incompatibly, so this is no longer true.
511
512For protocols that used back-to-back JSON texts, this might lead to
513run-ins, where two or more JSON texts will be interpreted as one JSON
400texts. 514text.
401 515
516For this reason, if the default encoder uses L<JSON::XS>, it will default
517to not allowing anything but arrays and objects/hashes, at least for the
518forseeable future (it will change at some point). This might or might not
519be true for the L<JSON> module, so this might cause a security issue.

1868Checks the input stream for a valid SSL or TLS handshake TLSPaintext
1869record without consuming anything. Only SSL version 3 or higher
1870is handled, up to the fictituous protocol 4.x (but both SSL3+ and
1871SSL2-compatible framing is supported).
1872
1873If it detects that the input data is likely TLS, it calls the callback
1874with a true value for C<$detect> and the (on-wire) TLS version as second
1875and third argument (C<$major> is C<3>, and C<$minor> is 0..3 for SSL
18763.0, TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, respectively). If it detects the input to
1877be definitely not TLS, it calls the callback with a false value for
1878C<$detect>.
1879
1880The callback could use this information to decide whether or not to start
1881TLS negotiation.
1882
1883In all cases the data read so far is passed to the following read
1884handlers.
1885
1886Usually you want to use the C<tls_autostart> read type instead.
1887
1888If you want to design a protocol that works in the presence of TLS
1889dtection, make sure that any non-TLS data doesn't start with the octet 22
1890(ASCII SYN, 16 hex) or 128-255 (i.e. highest bit set). The checks this
1891read type does are a bit more strict, but might losen in the future to
1892accomodate protocol changes.
1893
1894This read type does not rely on L<AnyEvent::TLS> (and thus, not on
1895L<Net::SSLeay>).

1902In practise, C<$tls> must be C<accept>, or a Net::SSLeay context that has
1903been configured to accept, as servers do not normally send a handshake on
1904their own and ths cannot be detected in this way.

1527These methods will have no effect when in TLS mode (as TLS doesn't support 1991In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1528half-duplex connections). 1992as TLS does not support half-duplex connections. In current versions they
1993work as expected, as this behaviour is required to avoid certain resource
1994attacks, where the program would be forced to read (and buffer) arbitrary
1995amounts of data before being able to send some data. The drawback is that
1996some readings of the the SSL/TLS specifications basically require this
1997attack to be working, as SSL/TLS implementations might stall sending data
1998during a rehandshake.
1999
2000As a guideline, during the initial handshake, you should not stop reading,
2001and as a client, it might cause problems, depending on your application.

2358Returns false as long as the handle hasn't been destroyed by a call to C<<

2360
2361Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2362callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2363C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2364can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:
2365
2366 $hdl->starttls ("accept");
2367 return if $hdl->destroyed;
2368 $hdl->push_write (...
2369
2370Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle
2371has been destroyed, so often you can just ignore the possibility of the
2372handle being destroyed.

2415=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2416
2417Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2418you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2419considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2420
2421To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2422is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You can set
2423an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2424queue.
2425
2426See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2427
2428=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2429
2430Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2431followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2432and handles them, in a loop.
2433
2434There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2435handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2436close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2437client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2438detect an unexpected detection close.
2439
2440To handle this case, always make sure you have a non-empty read queue, by
2441pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2442
2443 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2444 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2445 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2446
2447 ... handle request
2448
2449 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2450 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2451 });
2452
2453 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2454 # now push the first @start_request
2455 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2456
2457By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2458some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2459unexpectedly.
2460
2461The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2462at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2463sockets easier, and in general, it means you cannot distinguish a protocl
2464failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2465kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2466problem).
2467
2468Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2469C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2470connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2471
2472A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2473callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2474(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2475error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2476and simpler:
2477
2478 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2479 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2480 my ($hdl) = @_;
2481
2482 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2483 # simply start read the request
2484
2485 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2486 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2487
2488 ... handle request
2489
2490 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2491 # let the request queue go empty.
2492 });
2493 });
