50This module is a helper module to make it easier to do event-based I/O on 35This is a helper module to make it easier to do event-based I/O on
51filehandles. For utility functions for doing non-blocking connects and accepts 36stream-based filehandles (sockets, pipes, and other stream things).
52on sockets see L<AnyEvent::Util>.

38The L<AnyEvent::Intro> tutorial contains some well-documented
39AnyEvent::Handle examples.

99=item connect => [$host, $service] [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
100
101Try to connect to the specified host and service (port), using
102C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>. The C<$host> additionally becomes the
103default C<peername>.
104
105You have to specify either this parameter, or C<fh>, above.
106
107It is possible to push requests on the read and write queues, and modify
108properties of the stream, even while AnyEvent::Handle is connecting.
109
110When this parameter is specified, then the C<on_prepare>,
111C<on_connect_error> and C<on_connect> callbacks will be called under the
112appropriate circumstances:
113
114=over 4
115
78=item on_eof => $cb->($handle) 116=item on_prepare => $cb->($handle)
79 117
80Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detcted, 118This (rarely used) callback is called before a new connection is
81i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the 119attempted, but after the file handle has been created (you can access that
82connection cleanly. 120file handle via C<< $handle->{fh} >>). It could be used to prepare the
121file handle with parameters required for the actual connect (as opposed to
122settings that can be changed when the connection is already established).
83 123
84While not mandatory, it is highly recommended to set an eof callback, 124The return value of this callback should be the connect timeout value in
85otherwise you might end up with a closed socket while you are still 125seconds (or C<0>, or C<undef>, or the empty list, to indicate that the
86waiting for data. 126default timeout is to be used).
87 127
128=item on_connect => $cb->($handle, $host, $port, $retry->())
129
130This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
131
132The peer's numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
133parameters, together with a retry callback.
134
135If, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, calling C<$retry>
136will continue with the next connection target (in case of multi-homed
137hosts or SRV records there can be multiple connection endpoints). At the
138time it is called the read and write queues, eof status, tls status and
139similar properties of the handle will have been reset.
140
141In most cases, you should ignore the C<$retry> parameter.
142
143=item on_connect_error => $cb->($handle, $message)
144
145This callback is called when the connection could not be
146established. C<$!> will contain the relevant error code, and C<$message> a
147message describing it (usually the same as C<"$!">).
148
149If this callback isn't specified, then C<on_error> will be called with a
150fatal error instead.
151
152=back
153
88=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal) 154=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)

91occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to 157occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
92connect or a read error. 158connect, or a read error.
93 159
94Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On 160Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
95fatal errors the handle object will be shut down and will not be 161fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->
162destroy >>) after invoking the error callback (which means you are free to
163examine the handle object). Examples of fatal errors are an EOF condition
164with active (but unsatisfiable) read watchers (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors. In
165cases where the other side can close the connection at will, it is
166often easiest to not report C<EPIPE> errors in this callback.
167
168AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
169against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
170recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
171error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).

176C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).

180C<EPROTO>).

112read buffer). 191read buffer).
113 192
114To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >> 193To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
115method or access the C<$handle->{rbuf}> member directly. 194method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
195must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
196the beginning from it.
116 197
198You can also call C<< ->push_read (...) >> or any other function that
199modifies the read queue. Or do both. Or ...
200
117When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to 201When an EOF condition is detected, AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
118feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before 202feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
119calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal 203calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
120error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>). 204error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
121 205
206Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
207doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
208are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
209C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
210
211=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
212
213Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
214i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
215connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
216queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
217connection close and will be flagged as an error).
218
219For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
220you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
221callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
222down.
223
224If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
225set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
226
122=item on_drain => $cb->($handle) 227=item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
123 228
124This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty 229This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
125(or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already). 230(or immediately if the buffer is empty already).
126 231
127To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method. 232To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
128 233
234This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
235into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
236of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
237memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
238the file when the write queue becomes empty.

131If non-zero, then this enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this many 246If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this

134missing, an C<ETIMEDOUT> error will be raised). 249will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
250error will be raised).
135 251
252There are three variants of the timeouts that work independently
253of each other, for both read and write, just read, and just write:
254C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
255C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
256C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.

159isn't finished). 282isn't finished).
160 283
284=item wbuf_max => <bytes>
285
286If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
287when the write buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
288avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
289
290Although the units of this parameter is bytes, this is the I<raw> number
291of bytes not yet accepted by the kernel. This can make a difference when
292you e.g. use TLS, as TLS typically makes your write data larger (but it
293can also make it smaller due to compression).
294
295As an example of when this limit is useful, take a chat server that sends
296chat messages to a client. If the client does not read those in a timely
297manner then the send buffer in the server would grow unbounded.
298
299=item autocork => <boolean>
300
301When disabled (the default), C<push_write> will try to immediately
302write the data to the handle if possible. This avoids having to register
303a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
304be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
305disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
306C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
307
308When enabled, writes will always be queued till the next event loop
309iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
310but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
311the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
312
313=item no_delay => <boolean>
314
315When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
316wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
317the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
318
319In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
320accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
321
322The default is your operating system's default behaviour (most likely
323enabled). This option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
324
325=item keepalive => <boolean>
326
327Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
328normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
329connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
330side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
331TCP connections when the other side becomes unreachable. While the default
332is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
333and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
334to 15 minutes later.
335
336It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
337keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
338is usually a good idea.
339
340=item oobinline => <boolean>
341
342BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
343is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
344implements it slightly differently.
345
346If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
347is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
348putting it into the stream.
349
350Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
351security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
352unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
353establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
354already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
355from most attacks.
356
161=item read_size => <bytes> 357=item read_size => <bytes>
162 358
163The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will try to read 359The initial read block size, the number of bytes this module will try to

361this amount of memory for the read buffer as well, so when handling many
362connections requirements). See also C<max_read_size>. Default: C<2048>.
363
364=item max_read_size => <bytes>
365
366The maximum read buffer size used by the dynamic adjustment
367algorithm: Each time AnyEvent::Handle can read C<read_size> bytes in
368one go it will double C<read_size> up to the maximum given by this
369option. Default: C<131072> or C<read_size>, whichever is higher.

166=item low_water_mark => <bytes> 371=item low_water_mark => <bytes>

171 376
377Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
378the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
379the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
380is good in almost all cases.

393
394=item peername => $string
395
396A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
397(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
398
399Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
400peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
401verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or is
402C<undef>.

190automatically when you try to create a TLS handle). 414automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
415have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
416to add the dependency yourself.

193connection, use C<connect> mode. 419C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
420mode.

198AnyEvent::Handle. 425AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
426object.
199 427
428At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
429implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
430away.
431
432B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
433passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
434happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
435segmentation fault.
436
200See the C<starttls> method if you need to start TLs negotiation later. 437Use the C<< ->starttls >> method if you need to start TLS negotiation later.

205(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is 442(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this
206missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>. 443parameter is missing (or C<undef>), then AnyEvent::Handle will use
444C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
445
446Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
447=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
448new TLS context object.
449
450=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
451
452This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
453C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
454(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
455
456The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
457callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
458
459TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
460callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
461
462Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
463called as usual.
464
465Note that you cannot just call C<starttls> again in this callback. If you
466need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
467then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
468
469=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
470
471When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
472set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
473then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
474on the handle.
475
476The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
477callback.
478
479This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
480underlying handle signals EOF.

570 1085
571This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_write>. 1086Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1087before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1088C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1089C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1090replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1091
1092 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 }
1093
1094This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1095the peer.
1096
1097You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1098afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1099
1100This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1101destroyed after it returns).

1113
1114Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1115a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1116a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1117progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1118function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).

1131This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>. 1743Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1744of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1745find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1746progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the

1778In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1779as TLS does not support half-duplex connections. In current versions they
1780work as expected, as this behaviour is required to avoid certain resource
1781attacks, where the program would be forced to read (and buffer) arbitrary
1782amounts of data before being able to send some data. The drawback is that
1783some readings of the the SSL/TLS specifications basically require this
1784attack to be working, as SSL/TLS implementations might stall sending data
1785during a rehandshake.
1786
1787As a guideline, during the initial handshake, you should not stop reading,
1788and as a client, it might cause problems, depending on your applciation.

2096=item $handle->destroy
2097
2098Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
2099no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
2100will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
2101destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
2102empty list).
2103
2104Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
2105object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
2106callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
2107callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2108within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2109that case.
2110
2111Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2112will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2113is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2114reference cycles.
2115
2116The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2117data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2137
2138Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2139callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2140C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2141can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:
2142
2143 $hdl->starttls ("accept");
2144 return if $hdl->destroyed;
2145 $hdl->push_write (...
2146
2147Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle
2148has been destroyed, so often you can just ignore the possibility of the

2181
2182=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
2183still get further invocations!
2184
2185That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2186read or write callbacks.
2187
2188It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2189from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2190->destroy >> method.
2191
2192=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2193
2194Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2195you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2196considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2197
2198To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2199is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You cna set
2200an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2201queue.
2202
2203See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2204
2205=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2206
2207Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2208followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2209and handles them, in a loop.
2210
2211There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2212handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2213close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2214client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2215detect an unexpected detection close.
2216
2217To handle this case, always make sure you have a on-empty read queue, by
2218pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2219
2220 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2221 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2222 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2223
2224 ... handle request
2225
2226 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2227 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2228 });
2229
2230 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2231 # now push the first @start_request
2232 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2233
2234By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2235some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2236unexpectedly.
2237
2238The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2239at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2240sockets easier, and in general, it means you cnanot distinguish a protocl
2241failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2242kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2243problem).
2244
2245Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2246C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2247connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2248
2249A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2250callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2251(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2252error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2253and simpler:
2254
2255 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2256 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2257 my ($hdl) = @_;
2258
2259 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2260 # simply start read the request
2261
2262 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2263 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2264
2265 ... handle request
2266
2267 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2268 # let the request queue go empty.
1338 }); 2269 });
1339 push @linger, AnyEvent->timer (after => $linger, cb => sub {
1340 @linger = ();
1341 }); 2270 });
2271
2272=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2273reading?
2274
2275Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2276communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently, the
2277read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2278write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2279
2280This means that, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2281callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2282is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2283
2284During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2285non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2286connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2287C<destroy> method.
2288
2289=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2290
2291If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2292to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2293clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2294will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2295
2296 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2297 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2298 $handle->on_error (sub {
2299 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2300 });
2301
2302The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2303and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2304fact all data has been received.
2305
2306It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2307to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2308intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2309explicit QUIT command.
2310
2311=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2312all data has been written?
2313
2314After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2315and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2316C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2317written to the socket:
2318
2319 $handle->push_write (...);
2320 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2321 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
2322 undef $handle;
2323 });
2324
2325If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2326consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2327
2328=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2329
2330If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2331connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2332parameter:
2333
2334 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2335 my ($fh) = @_;
2336
2337 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2338 fh => $fh,
2339 tls => "connect",
2340 on_error => sub { ... };
2341
2342 $handle->push_write (...);
1342 } 2343 };
1343}
1344 2344
1345=item AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX 2345=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
1346 2346
1347This function creates and returns the Net::SSLeay::CTX object used by 2347Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
1348default for TLS mode. 2348peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2349L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
1349 2350
1350The context is created like this: 2351E.g. for HTTPS:
1351 2352
1352 Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings; 2353 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
1353 Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms; 2354 my ($fh) = @_;
1354 Net::SSLeay::randomize;
1355 2355
1356 my $CTX = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new; 2356 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2357 fh => $fh,
2358 peername => $host,
2359 tls => "connect",
2360 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2361 ...
1357 2362
1358 Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options $CTX, Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL 2363Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2364"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2365peername verification will be done.
1359 2366
1360=cut 2367The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2368certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2369C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
1361 2370
1362our $TLS_CTX; 2371 tls_ctx => {
2372 verify => 1,
2373 verify_peername => "https",
2374 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2375 },
1363 2376
1364sub TLS_CTX() { 2377=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
1365 $TLS_CTX || do {
1366 require Net::SSLeay;
1367 2378
1368 Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings (); 2379Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
1369 Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms (); 2380three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
1370 Net::SSLeay::randomize (); 2381self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2382there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2383nice program for that purpose).
1371 2384
1372 $TLS_CTX = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new (); 2385Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2386L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2387file should then look like this:
1373 2388
1374 Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options ($TLS_CTX, Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL ()); 2389 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2390 ...header data
2391 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2392 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
1375 2393
1376 $TLS_CTX 2394 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
1377 } 2395 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
1378} 2396 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2397
2398The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2399specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2400
2401 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2402 my ($fh) = @_;
2403
2404 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2405 fh => $fh,
2406 tls => "accept",
2407 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2408 ...
2409
2410When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2411know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.
