33=head1 DESCRIPTION
34
35This is a helper module to make it easier to do event-based I/O
36on stream-based filehandles (sockets, pipes, and other stream
37things). Specifically, it doesn't work as expected on files, packet-based
38sockets or similar things.
39
40The L<AnyEvent::Intro> tutorial contains some well-documented
41AnyEvent::Handle examples.
42
43In the following, where the documentation refers to "bytes", it means
44characters. As sysread and syswrite are used for all I/O, their
45treatment of characters applies to this module as well.
46
47At the very minimum, you should specify C<fh> or C<connect>, and the
48C<on_error> callback.
49
50All callbacks will be invoked with the handle object as their first
51argument.

84=head1 METHODS
85
86=over 4
87
88=item $handle = B<new> AnyEvent::Handle fh => $filehandle, key => value...
89
90The constructor supports these arguments (all as C<< key => value >> pairs).
91
92=over 4
93
94=item fh => $filehandle [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
95
96The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
97NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking mode (using
98C<AnyEvent::fh_unblock>) by the constructor and needs to stay in
99that mode.
100
101=item connect => [$host, $service] [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
102
103Try to connect to the specified host and service (port), using
104C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>. The C<$host> additionally becomes the
105default C<peername>.
106
107You have to specify either this parameter, or C<fh>, above.
108
109It is possible to push requests on the read and write queues, and modify
110properties of the stream, even while AnyEvent::Handle is connecting.
111
112When this parameter is specified, then the C<on_prepare>,
113C<on_connect_error> and C<on_connect> callbacks will be called under the
114appropriate circumstances:
115
116=over 4
117
118=item on_prepare => $cb->($handle)
119
120This (rarely used) callback is called before a new connection is
121attempted, but after the file handle has been created (you can access that
122file handle via C<< $handle->{fh} >>). It could be used to prepare the
123file handle with parameters required for the actual connect (as opposed to
124settings that can be changed when the connection is already established).
125
126The return value of this callback should be the connect timeout value in
127seconds (or C<0>, or C<undef>, or the empty list, to indicate that the
128default timeout is to be used).
129
130=item on_connect => $cb->($handle, $host, $port, $retry->())
131
132This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
133
134The peer's numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
135parameters, together with a retry callback. At the time it is called the
136read and write queues, EOF status, TLS status and similar properties of
137the handle will have been reset.
138
139If, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, calling C<$retry> will
140continue with the next connection target (in case of multi-homed hosts or
141SRV records there can be multiple connection endpoints). The C<$retry>
142callback can be invoked after the connect callback returns, i.e. one can
143start a handshake and then decide to retry with the next host if the
144handshake fails.
145
146In most cases, you should ignore the C<$retry> parameter.
147
148=item on_connect_error => $cb->($handle, $message)
149
150This callback is called when the connection could not be
151established. C<$!> will contain the relevant error code, and C<$message> a
152message describing it (usually the same as C<"$!">).
153
154If this callback isn't specified, then C<on_error> will be called with a
155fatal error instead.
156
157=back
158
159=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
160
161This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
162occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
163connect, or a read error.
164
165Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
166fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->
167destroy >>) after invoking the error callback (which means you are free to
168examine the handle object). Examples of fatal errors are an EOF condition
169with active (but unsatisfiable) read watchers (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors. In
170cases where the other side can close the connection at will, it is
171often easiest to not report C<EPIPE> errors in this callback.
172
173AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
174against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well.
175
176If you report the error to the user, it is recommended to always output
177the C<$message> argument in human-readable error messages (you don't need
178to report C<"$!"> if you report C<$message>).
179
180If you want to react programmatically to the error, then looking at C<$!>
181and comparing it against some of the documented C<Errno> values is usually
182better than looking at the C<$message>.
183
184Non-fatal errors can be retried by returning, but it is recommended
185to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
186when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
187C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
188
189On entry to the callback, the value of C<$!> contains the operating
190system error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
191C<EPROTO>).
192
193While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
194you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default just calls
195C<croak>.
196
197=item on_read => $cb->($handle)
198
199This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
200and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
201callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
202read buffer).
203
204To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
205method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
206must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
207the beginning from it.
208
209You can also call C<< ->push_read (...) >> or any other function that
210modifies the read queue. Or do both. Or ...
211
212When an EOF condition is detected, AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
213feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
214calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
215error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
216
217Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
218doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
219are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
220C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
221
222=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
223
224Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
225i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
226connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
227queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
228connection close and will be flagged as an error).
229
230For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
231you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
232callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
233down.
234
235If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
236set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
237
238=item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
239
240This sets the callback that is called once when the write buffer becomes
241empty (and immediately when the handle object is created).
242
243To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
244
245This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
246into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
247of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
248memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
249the file when the write queue becomes empty.
250
251=item timeout => $fractional_seconds
252
253=item rtimeout => $fractional_seconds
254
255=item wtimeout => $fractional_seconds
256
257If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
258many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying
259file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the C<on_timeout> callback
260will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
261error will be raised).
262
263There are three variants of the timeouts that work independently of each
264other, for both read and write (triggered when nothing was read I<OR>
265written), just read (triggered when nothing was read), and just write:
266C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
267C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
268C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
269
270Note that timeout processing is active even when you do not have any
271outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
272idle then you should disable the timeout temporarily or ignore the
273timeout in the corresponding C<on_timeout> callback, in which case
274AnyEvent::Handle will simply restart the timeout.
275
276Zero (the default) disables the corresponding timeout.
277
278=item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
279
280=item on_rtimeout => $cb->($handle)
281
282=item on_wtimeout => $cb->($handle)
283
284Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
285callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
286so this condition is not fatal in any way.
287
288=item rbuf_max => <bytes>
289
290If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
291when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
292avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
293
294For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
295be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
296(for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
297amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
298isn't finished).
299
300=item wbuf_max => <bytes>
301
302If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
303when the write buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
304avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
305
306Although the units of this parameter is bytes, this is the I<raw> number
307of bytes not yet accepted by the kernel. This can make a difference when
308you e.g. use TLS, as TLS typically makes your write data larger (but it
309can also make it smaller due to compression).
310
311As an example of when this limit is useful, take a chat server that sends
312chat messages to a client. If the client does not read those in a timely
313manner then the send buffer in the server would grow unbounded.
314
315=item autocork => <boolean>
316
317When disabled (the default), C<push_write> will try to immediately
318write the data to the handle if possible. This avoids having to register
319a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
320be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
321disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
322C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
323
324When enabled, writes will always be queued till the next event loop
325iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
326but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
327the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
328
329=item no_delay => <boolean>
330
331When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
332wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
333the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
334
335In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
336accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
337
338The default is your operating system's default behaviour (most likely
339enabled). This option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
340
341=item keepalive => <boolean>
342
343Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
344normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
345connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
346side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
347TCP connections when the other side becomes unreachable. While the default
348is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
349and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
350to 15 minutes later.
351
352It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
353keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
354is usually a good idea.
355
356=item oobinline => <boolean>
357
358BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
359is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
360implements it slightly differently.
361
362If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
363is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
364putting it into the stream.
365
366Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
367security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
368unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
369establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
370already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
371from most attacks.
372
373=item read_size => <bytes>
374
375The initial read block size, the number of bytes this module will try
376to read during each loop iteration. Each handle object will consume
377at least this amount of memory for the read buffer as well, so when
378handling many connections watch out for memory requirements). See also
379C<max_read_size>. Default: C<2048>.
380
381=item max_read_size => <bytes>
382
383The maximum read buffer size used by the dynamic adjustment
384algorithm: Each time AnyEvent::Handle can read C<read_size> bytes in
385one go it will double C<read_size> up to the maximum given by this
386option. Default: C<131072> or C<read_size>, whichever is higher.
387
388=item low_water_mark => <bytes>
389
390Sets the number of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
391buffer: If the buffer reaches this size or gets even samller it is
392considered empty.
393
394Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
395the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
396the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
397is good in almost all cases.
398
399=item linger => <seconds>
400
401If this is non-zero (default: C<3600>), the destructor of the
402AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
403write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
404socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
405system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
406
407This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
408yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
409help.
410
411=item peername => $string
412
413A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
414(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
415
416Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
417peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
418verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or is
419C<undef>.
420
421=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
422
423When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
424AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the connection has been
425established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
426
427All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
428appropriate error message.
429
430TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
431automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
432have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
433to add the dependency yourself. If Net::SSLeay cannot be loaded or is too
434old, you get an C<EPROTO> error.
435
436Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
437C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
438mode.
439
440You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
441to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
442or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
443AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
444object.
445
446At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
447implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
448away.
449
450B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
451passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
452happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
453segmentation fault.
454
455Use the C<< ->starttls >> method if you need to start TLS negotiation later.
456
457=item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
458
459Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
460(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this
461parameter is missing (or C<undef>), then AnyEvent::Handle will use
462C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
463
464Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
465=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
466new TLS context object.
467
468=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
469
470This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
471C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
472(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
473
474The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
475callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
476
477TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
478callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
479
480Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
481called as usual.
482
483Note that you cannot just call C<starttls> again in this callback. If you
484need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
485then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
486
487=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
488
489When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
490set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
491then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
492on the handle.
493
494The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
495callback.
496
497This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
498underlying handle signals EOF.
499
500=item json => L<JSON>, L<JSON::PP> or L<JSON::XS> object
501
502This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
503
504If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
505suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded
506JSON texts (either using L<JSON::XS> or L<JSON>). The written texts are
507guaranteed not to contain any newline character.
508
509For security reasons, this encoder will likely I<not> handle numbers and
510strings, only arrays and objects/hashes. The reason is that originally
511JSON was self-delimited, but Dougles Crockford thought it was a splendid
512idea to redefine JSON incompatibly, so this is no longer true.
513
514For protocols that used back-to-back JSON texts, this might lead to
515run-ins, where two or more JSON texts will be interpreted as one JSON
516text.
517
518For this reason, if the default encoder uses L<JSON::XS>, it will default
519to not allowing anything but arrays and objects/hashes, at least for the
520forseeable future (it will change at some point). This might or might not
521be true for the L<JSON> module, so this might cause a security issue.
522
523If you depend on either behaviour, you should create your own json object
524and pass it in explicitly.
525
526=item cbor => L<CBOR::XS> object
527
528This is the cbor coder object used by the C<cbor> read and write types.
529
530If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
531suitable one (on demand), which will write CBOR without using extensions,
532if possible.
533
534Note that you are responsible to depend on the L<CBOR::XS> module if you
535want to use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency on
536it itself.

917
918AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
919for reading.
920
921The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
922AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.
923
924When data could be written and the write buffer is shorter then the low
925water mark, the C<on_drain> callback will be invoked once.

1031
1032Instead of formatting your data yourself, you can also let this module
1033do the job by specifying a type and type-specific arguments. You
1034can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in which
1035case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
1036C<anyevent_write_type> function inside (see "custom write types", below).
1037

1039drop by and tell us):

1042
1043=item netstring => $string
1044

1054};
1055
1056=item packstring => $format, $data
1057
1058An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
1059uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
1060integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
1061optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
1062

1066 my ($self, $format, $string) = @_;
1067
1068 pack "$format/a*", $string
1069};
1070
1071=item json => $array_or_hashref
1072
1073Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
1074provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
1075in UTF-8.
1076
1077The default encoder might or might not handle every type of JSON value -
1078it might be limited to arrays and objects for security reasons. See the
1079C<json> constructor attribute for more details.
1080
1081JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so if you only use arrays
1082and hashes, you can write JSON at one end of a handle and read them at the
1083other end without using any additional framing.
1084
1085The JSON text generated by the default encoder is guaranteed not to
1086contain any newlines: While this module doesn't need delimiters after or
1087between JSON texts to be able to read them, many other languages depend on
1088them.
1089
1090A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with other languages is
1091to send JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better
1092choice as they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline
1093after each JSON text:
1094
1095 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
1096 $handle->push_write ("\012");
1097
1098An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
1099rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
1100
1101 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
1102
1103Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
1104this line into their JSON decoder of choice.
1105
1106=item cbor => $perl_scalar
1107
1108Encodes the given scalar into a CBOR value. Unless you provide your own
1109L<CBOR::XS> object, this means it will be encoded to a CBOR string not
1110using any extensions, if possible.
1111
1112CBOR values are self-delimiting, so you can write CBOR at one end of
1113a handle and read them at the other end without using any additional
1114framing.
1115
1116A simple nd very very fast RPC protocol that interoperates with
1117other languages is to send CBOR and receive CBOR values (arrays are
1118recommended):
1119
1120 $handle->push_write (cbor => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
1121
1122An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<cbor> read type:

1124 $handle->push_read (cbor => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });

1169=item $handle->push_shutdown
1170
1171Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1172before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1173C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1174C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1175replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1176
1177 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 }
1178
1179This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1180the peer.
1181
1182You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1183afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1184
1185This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1186destroyed after it returns).
1187
1188=cut
1189
1190sub push_shutdown {
1191 my ($self) = @_;
1192
1193 delete $self->{low_water_mark};
1194 $self->on_drain (sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 });
1195}
1196
1197=item custom write types - Package::anyevent_write_type $handle, @args
1198
1199Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1200a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1201a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1202progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1203function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1204
1205Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will the function with
1206the handle object and the remaining arguments.
1207
1208The function is supposed to return a single octet string that will be
1209appended to the write buffer, so you can mentally treat this function as a
1210"arguments to on-the-wire-format" converter.
1211
1212Example: implement a custom write type C<join> that joins the remaining
1213arguments using the first one.
1214
1215 $handle->push_write (My::Type => " ", 1,2,3);
1216
1217 # uses the following package, which can be defined in the "My::Type" or in
1218 # the "My" modules to be auto-loaded, or just about anywhere when the
1219 # My::Type::anyevent_write_type is defined before invoking it.
1220

1235=head2 READ QUEUE
1236
1237AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
1238for reading.
1239
1240The read queue is more complex than the write queue. It can be used in two
1241ways, the "simple" way, using only C<on_read> and the "complex" way, using
1242a queue.
1243
1244In the simple case, you just install an C<on_read> callback and whenever
1245new data arrives, it will be called. You can then remove some data (if
1246enough is there) from the read buffer (C<< $handle->rbuf >>). Or you can
1247leave the data there if you want to accumulate more (e.g. when only a
1248partial message has been received so far), or change the read queue with
1249e.g. C<push_read>.
1250
1251In the more complex case, you want to queue multiple callbacks. In this
1252case, AnyEvent::Handle will call the first queued callback each time new
1253data arrives (also the first time it is queued) and remove it when it has
1254done its job (see C<push_read>, below).
1255
1256This way you can, for example, push three line-reads, followed by reading
1257a chunk of data, and AnyEvent::Handle will execute them in order.
1258
1259Example 1: EPP protocol parser. EPP sends 4 byte length info, followed by
1260the specified number of bytes which give an XML datagram.
1261
1262 # in the default state, expect some header bytes
1263 $handle->on_read (sub {
1264 # some data is here, now queue the length-header-read (4 octets)
1265 shift->unshift_read (chunk => 4, sub {
1266 # header arrived, decode
1267 my $len = unpack "N", $_[1];
1268
1269 # now read the payload
1270 shift->unshift_read (chunk => $len, sub {
1271 my $xml = $_[1];
1272 # handle xml
1273 });
1274 });
1275 });
1276
1277Example 2: Implement a client for a protocol that replies either with "OK"
1278and another line or "ERROR" for the first request that is sent, and 64
1279bytes for the second request. Due to the availability of a queue, we can
1280just pipeline sending both requests and manipulate the queue as necessary
1281in the callbacks.
1282
1283When the first callback is called and sees an "OK" response, it will
1284C<unshift> another line-read. This line-read will be queued I<before> the
128564-byte chunk callback.
1286
1287 # request one, returns either "OK + extra line" or "ERROR"
1288 $handle->push_write ("request 1\015\012");
1289
1290 # we expect "ERROR" or "OK" as response, so push a line read
1291 $handle->push_read (line => sub {
1292 # if we got an "OK", we have to _prepend_ another line,
1293 # so it will be read before the second request reads its 64 bytes
1294 # which are already in the queue when this callback is called
1295 # we don't do this in case we got an error
1296 if ($_[1] eq "OK") {
1297 $_[0]->unshift_read (line => sub {
1298 my $response = $_[1];
1299 ...
1300 });
38 } 1301 }
39 }); 1302 });
40 1303

60=head1 DESCRIPTION
61
62This module is a helper module to make it easier to do non-blocking I/O
63on filehandles (and sockets, see L<AnyEvent::Socket>).
64
65The event loop is provided by L<AnyEvent>.
66
67=head1 METHODS
68
69=over 4
70
71=item B<new (%args)>
72
73The constructor has these arguments:
74
75=over 4
76
77=item fh => $filehandle
78
79The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
80
81NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking.
82
83=item read_block_size => $size
84
85The default read block size use for reads via the C<on_read>
86method.
87
88=item on_read => $cb
89
90=item on_eof => $cb
91
92=item on_error => $cb
93
94These are shortcuts, that will call the corresponding method and set the callback to C<$cb>.
95
96=item on_readline => $cb
97
98The C<readlines> method is called with the default seperator and C<$cb> as callback
99for you.

135This method returns the filehandle of the L<AnyEvent::Handle> object. 1388=item $handle->on_read ($cb)
136 1389
137=cut 1390This replaces the currently set C<on_read> callback, or clears it (when
1391the new callback is C<undef>). See the description of C<on_read> in the
1392constructor.
138 1393
139sub fh { $_[0]->{fh} } 1394This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
140 1395destroyed after it returns).
141=item B<on_read ($callback)>
142
143This method installs a C<$callback> that will be called
144when new data arrived. You can access the read buffer via the C<rbuf>
145method (see below).
146
147The first argument of the C<$callback> will be the L<AnyEvent::Handle> object.

154 1405
155 unless (defined $self->{on_read}) { 1406=item $handle->rbuf
156 delete $self->{on_read_w}; 1407
1408Returns the read buffer (as a modifiable lvalue). You can also access the
1409read buffer directly as the C<< ->{rbuf} >> member, if you want (this is
1410much faster, and no less clean).
1411
1412The only operation allowed on the read buffer (apart from looking at it)
1413is removing data from its beginning. Otherwise modifying or appending to
1414it is not allowed and will lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
1415
1416NOTE: The read buffer should only be used or modified in the C<on_read>
1417callback or when C<push_read> or C<unshift_read> are used with a single
1418callback (i.e. untyped). Typed C<push_read> and C<unshift_read> methods
1419will manage the read buffer on their own.

1425}
1426
1427=item $handle->push_read ($cb)
1428
1429=item $handle->unshift_read ($cb)
1430
1431Append the given callback to the end of the queue (C<push_read>) or
1432prepend it (C<unshift_read>).
1433
1434The callback is called each time some additional read data arrives.
1435
1436It must check whether enough data is in the read buffer already.
1437
1438If not enough data is available, it must return the empty list or a false
1439value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
1440available (or an error condition is detected).
1441
1442If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
1443interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
1444true, it will be removed from the queue.
1445
1446These methods may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1447destroyed after it returns).

1492
1493Instead of providing a callback that parses the data itself you can chose
1494between a number of predefined parsing formats, for chunks of data, lines
1495etc. You can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in
1496which case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
1497C<anyevent_read_type> function inside (see "custom read types", below).
1498
1499Predefined types are (if you have ideas for additional types, feel free to
1500drop by and tell us):
1501
1502=over 4
1503
1504=item chunk => $octets, $cb->($handle, $data)
1505
1506Invoke the callback only once C<$octets> bytes have been read. Pass the
1507data read to the callback. The callback will never be called with less
1508data.
1509
1510Example: read 2 bytes.
1511
1512 $handle->push_read (chunk => 2, sub {
1513 say "yay " . unpack "H*", $_[1];
1514 });

1523 $cb->($_[0], substr $_[0]{rbuf}, 0, $len, "");
1524 1
1525 }
1526};
1527
1528=item line => [$eol, ]$cb->($handle, $line, $eol)
1529
1530The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
1531line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
1532marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
1533the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
1534
1535The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
1536will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
1537object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
1538regular expression.
1539
1540The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
1541undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
1542protocols).
1543
1544Partial lines at the end of the stream will never be returned, as they are
1545not marked by the end of line marker.

1573};
1574
1575=item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1576
1577Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1578everything up to and including the match. All the usual regex variables
1579($1, %+ etc.) from the regex match are available in the callback.
1580
1581Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1582
1583 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1584
1585If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1586to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1587does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1588useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1589receive buffer overflow).
1590
1591Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1592anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1593
1594 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1595
1596If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1597the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1598and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1599unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1600know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1601have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1602and is usually worth it only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1603
1604Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we

1871
1872Checks the input stream for a valid SSL or TLS handshake TLSPaintext
1873record without consuming anything. Only SSL version 3 or higher
1874is handled, up to the fictituous protocol 4.x (but both SSL3+ and
1875SSL2-compatible framing is supported).
1876
1877If it detects that the input data is likely TLS, it calls the callback
1878with a true value for C<$detect> and the (on-wire) TLS version as second
1879and third argument (C<$major> is C<3>, and C<$minor> is 0..4 for SSL
18803.0, TLS 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, respectively). If it detects the input
1881to be definitely not TLS, it calls the callback with a false value for
1882C<$detect>.
1883
1884The callback could use this information to decide whether or not to start
1885TLS negotiation.
1886
1887In all cases the data read so far is passed to the following read
1888handlers.
1889
1890Usually you want to use the C<tls_autostart> read type instead.
1891
1892If you want to design a protocol that works in the presence of TLS
1893dtection, make sure that any non-TLS data doesn't start with the octet 22
1894(ASCII SYN, 16 hex) or 128-255 (i.e. highest bit set). The checks this
1895read type does are a bit more strict, but might losen in the future to
1896accomodate protocol changes.
1897
1898This read type does not rely on L<AnyEvent::TLS> (and thus, not on
1899L<Net::SSLeay>).
1900
1901=item tls_autostart => [$tls_ctx, ]$tls
1902
1903Tries to detect a valid SSL or TLS handshake. If one is detected, it tries
1904to start tls by calling C<starttls> with the given arguments.
1905
1906In practice, C<$tls> must be C<accept>, or a Net::SSLeay context that has
1907been configured to accept, as servers do not normally send a handshake on
1908their own and ths cannot be detected in this way.
1909
1910See C<tls_detect> above for more details.

164 my $l; 1959
1960Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1961of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1962find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1963progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1964function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1965
1966Whenever this type is used, C<push_read> will invoke the function with the
1967handle object, the original callback and the remaining arguments.
1968
1969The function is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure) that
1970works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>), so you can
1971mentally treat the function as a "configurable read type to read callback"
1972converter.
1973
1974It should invoke the original callback when it is done reading (remember
1975to pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that,
1976although there is no strict requirement on this).
1977
1978For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m
1979AnyEvent::Handle>, search for C<register_read_type>)).
1980
1981=item $handle->stop_read
1982
1983=item $handle->start_read
1984
1985In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1986socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1987any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1988C<start_read>.
1989
1990Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1991you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1992will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1993there are any read requests in the queue.
1994
1995In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1996as TLS does not support half-duplex connections. In current versions they
1997work as expected, as this behaviour is required to avoid certain resource
1998attacks, where the program would be forced to read (and buffer) arbitrary
1999amounts of data before being able to send some data. The drawback is that
2000some readings of the the SSL/TLS specifications basically require this
2001attack to be working, as SSL/TLS implementations might stall sending data
2002during a rehandshake.
2003
2004As a guideline, during the initial handshake, you should not stop reading,
2005and as a client, it might cause problems, depending on your application.

2139
2140Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
2141object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
2142C<starttls>. See the C<tls> constructor argument for general info.
2143
2144Starting TLS is currently an asynchronous operation - when you push some
2145write data and then call C<< ->starttls >> then TLS negotiation will start
2146immediately, after which the queued write data is then sent. This might
2147change in future versions, so best make sure you have no outstanding write
2148data when calling this method.
2149
2150The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
2151C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
2152
2153The second argument is the optional C<AnyEvent::TLS> object that is used
2154when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object, or
2155a hash reference with C<< key => value >> pairs that will be used to
2156construct a new context.
2157
2158The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>, the TLS
2159context in C<< $handle->{tls_ctx} >> after this call and can be used or
2160changed to your liking. Note that the handshake might have already started
2161when this function returns.
2162
2163Due to bugs in OpenSSL, it might or might not be possible to do multiple
2164handshakes on the same stream. It is best to not attempt to use the
2165stream after stopping TLS.
2166

2168destroyed after it returns).

2323=item $handle->destroy
2324
2325Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
2326no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
2327will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
2328destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
2329empty list).
2330
2331Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
2332object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
2333callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
2334callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2335within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2336that case.
2337
2338Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2339will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2340is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2341reference cycles.
2342
2343The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2344data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2362Returns false as long as the handle hasn't been destroyed by a call to C<<
2363->destroy >>, true otherwise.
2364
2365Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2366callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2367C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2368can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:
2369
2370 $hdl->starttls ("accept");
2371 return if $hdl->destroyed;
2372 $hdl->push_write (...
2373
2374Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle
2375has been destroyed, so often you can just ignore the possibility of the
2376handle being destroyed.

2407=over 4
2408
2409=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
2410still get further invocations!
2411
2412That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2413read or write callbacks.
2414
2415It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2416from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2417->destroy >> method.
2418
2419=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2420
2421Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2422you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2423considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2424
2425To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2426is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You can set
2427an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2428queue.
2429
2430See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2431
2432=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2433
2434Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2435followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2436and handles them, in a loop.
2437
2438There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2439handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2440close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2441client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2442detect an unexpected detection close.
2443
2444To handle this case, always make sure you have a non-empty read queue, by
2445pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2446
2447 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2448 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2449 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2450
2451 ... handle request
2452
2453 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2454 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2455 });
2456
2457 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2458 # now push the first @start_request
2459 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2460
2461By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2462some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2463unexpectedly.
2464
2465The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2466at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2467sockets easier, and in general, it means you cannot distinguish a protocl
2468failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2469kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2470problem).
2471
2472Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2473C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2474connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2475
2476A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2477callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2478(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2479error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2480and simpler:
2481
2482 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2483 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2484 my ($hdl) = @_;
2485
2486 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2487 # simply start read the request
2488
2489 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2490 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2491
2492 ... handle request
2493
2494 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2495 # let the request queue go empty.
363 }); 2496 });
364} 2497 });
2498
2499=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2500reading?
2501
2502Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2503communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently, the
2504read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2505write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2506
2507This means that, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2508callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2509is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2510
2511During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2512non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2513connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2514C<destroy> method.
2515
2516=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2517
2518If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2519to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2520clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2521will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2522
2523 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2524 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2525 $handle->on_error (sub {
2526 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2527 });
2528
2529Note that this example removes the C<rbuf> member from the handle object,
2530which is not normally allowed by the API. It is expressly permitted in
2531this case only, as the handle object needs to be destroyed afterwards.
2532
2533The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2534and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2535fact all data has been received.
2536
2537It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2538to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2539intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2540explicit QUIT command.
2541
2542=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2543all data has been written?
2544
2545After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2546and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2547C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2548written to the socket:
2549
2550 $handle->push_write (...);
2551 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2552 AE::log debug => "All data submitted to the kernel.";
2553 undef $handle;
2554 });
2555
2556If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2557consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2558
2559=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2560
2561If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2562connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2563parameter:
2564
2565 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2566 my ($fh) = @_;
2567
2568 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2569 fh => $fh,
2570 tls => "connect",
2571 on_error => sub { ... };
2572
2573 $handle->push_write (...);
2574 };
2575
2576=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2577
2578Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2579peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2580L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2581
2582E.g. for HTTPS:
2583
2584 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2585 my ($fh) = @_;
2586
2587 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2588 fh => $fh,
2589 peername => $host,
2590 tls => "connect",
2591 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2592 ...
2593
2594Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2595"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2596peername verification will be done.
2597
2598The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2599certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2600C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2601
2602 tls_ctx => {
2603 verify => 1,
2604 verify_peername => "https",
2605 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2606 },
2607
2608=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2609
2610Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2611three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2612self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2613there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2614nice program for that purpose).
2615
2616Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2617L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2618file should then look like this:
2619
2620 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2621 ...header data
2622 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2623 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2624
2625 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2626 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2627 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2628
2629The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2630specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2631
2632 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2633 my ($fh) = @_;
2634
2635 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2636 fh => $fh,
2637 tls => "accept",
2638 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2639 ...
2640
2641When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2642know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.

2646=head1 SUBCLASSING AnyEvent::Handle
2647
2648In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
2649
2650To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
2651conventions:
2652
2653=over 4
2654
2655=item * all constructor arguments become object members.
2656
2657At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
2658will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
2659mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
2660
2661=item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
2662
2663All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
2664with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
2665for use for subclasses.
2666
2667=item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
2668are free to use in subclasses.
2669
2670Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
2671member variables, but that's just life. At least it is documented.
