33 =head1 DESCRIPTION
34
35 This module is a helper module to make it easier to do event-based I/O on
36 filehandles.
37
38 The L<AnyEvent::Intro> tutorial contains some well-documented
39 AnyEvent::Handle examples.
40
41 In the following, when the documentation refers to of "bytes" then this
42 means characters. As sysread and syswrite are used for all I/O, their
43 treatment of characters applies to this module as well.
44
45 At the very minimum, you should specify C<fh> or C<connect>, and the
46 C<on_error> callback.
47
48 All callbacks will be invoked with the handle object as their first
49 argument.

80 =head1 METHODS
81
82 =over 4
83
84 =item $handle = B<new> AnyEvent::TLS fh => $filehandle, key => value...
85
86 The constructor supports these arguments (all as C<< key => value >> pairs).
87
88 =over 4
89
90 =item fh => $filehandle [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
91
92 The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
93 NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking mode (using
94 C<AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking>) by the constructor and needs to stay in
95 that mode.
96
97 =item connect => [$host, $service] [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
98
99 Try to connect to the specified host and service (port), using
100 C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>. The C<$host> additionally becomes the
101 default C<peername>.
102
103 You have to specify either this parameter, or C<fh>, above.
104
105 It is possible to push requests on the read and write queues, and modify
106 properties of the stream, even while AnyEvent::Handle is connecting.
107
108 When this parameter is specified, then the C<on_prepare>,
109 C<on_connect_error> and C<on_connect> callbacks will be called under the
110 appropriate circumstances:
111
112 =over 4
113
114 =item on_prepare => $cb->($handle)
115
116 This (rarely used) callback is called before a new connection is
117 attempted, but after the file handle has been created. It could be used to
118 prepare the file handle with parameters required for the actual connect
119 (as opposed to settings that can be changed when the connection is already
120 established).
121
122 The return value of this callback should be the connect timeout value in
123 seconds (or C<0>, or C<undef>, or the empty list, to indicate the default
124 timeout is to be used).
125
126 =item on_connect => $cb->($handle, $host, $port, $retry->())
127
128 This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
129
130 The actual numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
131 parameters, together with a retry callback.
132
133 When, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, then calling
134 C<$retry> will continue with the next conenction target (in case of
135 multi-homed hosts or SRV records there can be multiple connection
136 endpoints). When it is called then the read and write queues, eof status,
137 tls status and similar properties of the handle are being reset.
138
139 In most cases, ignoring the C<$retry> parameter is the way to go.
140
141 =item on_connect_error => $cb->($handle, $message)
142
143 This callback is called when the conenction could not be
144 established. C<$!> will contain the relevant error code, and C<$message> a
145 message describing it (usually the same as C<"$!">).
146
147 If this callback isn't specified, then C<on_error> will be called with a
148 fatal error instead.
149
150 =back
151
152 =item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
153
154 This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
155 occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
156 connect or a read error.
157
158 Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
159 fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->
160 destroy >>) after invoking the error callback (which means you are free to
161 examine the handle object). Examples of fatal errors are an EOF condition
162 with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors. In
163 cases where the other side can close the connection at their will it is
164 often easiest to not report C<EPIPE> errors in this callback.
165
166 AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
167 against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
168 recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
169 error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
170
171 Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended
172 to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
173 when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
174 C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
175
176 On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system
177 error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
178 C<EPROTO>).
179
180 While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
181 you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls
182 C<croak>.
183
184 =item on_read => $cb->($handle)
185
186 This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
187 and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
188 callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
189 read buffer).
190
191 To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
192 method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
193 must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
194 the beginning from it.
195
196 When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
197 feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
198 calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
199 error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
200
201 Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
202 doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
203 are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
204 C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
205
206 =item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
207
208 Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
209 i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
210 connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
211 queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
212 connection close and will be flagged as an error).
213
214 For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
215 you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
216 callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
217 down.
218
219 If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
220 set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
221
222 =item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
223
224 This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
225 (or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already).
226
227 To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
228
229 This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
230 into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
231 of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
232 memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
233 the file when the write queue becomes empty.
234
235 =item timeout => $fractional_seconds
236
237 =item rtimeout => $fractional_seconds
238
239 =item wtimeout => $fractional_seconds
240
241 If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
242 many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying
243 file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the C<on_timeout> callback
244 will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
245 error will be raised).
246
247 There are three variants of the timeouts that work fully independent
248 of each other, for both read and write, just read, and just write:
249 C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
250 C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
251 C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
252
253 Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have
254 any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
255 idle then you should disable the timout temporarily or ignore the timeout
256 in the C<on_timeout> callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply
257 restart the timeout.
258
259 Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
260
261 =item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
262
263 Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
264 callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
265 so this condition is not fatal in any way.
266
267 =item rbuf_max => <bytes>
268
269 If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
270 when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
271 avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
272
273 For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
274 be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
275 (for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
276 amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
277 isn't finished).
278
279 =item autocork => <boolean>
280
281 When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
282 write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
283 a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
284 be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
285 disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
286 C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
287
288 When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
289 iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
290 but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
291 the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
292
293 =item no_delay => <boolean>
294
295 When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
296 wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
297 the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
298
299 In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
300 accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
301
302 The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
303 enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
304
305 =item keepalive => <boolean>
306
307 Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
308 normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
309 conenctions, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
310 side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
311 TCP connections whent he other side becomes unreachable. While the default
312 is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
313 and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
314 to 15 minutes later.
315
316 It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
317 keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
318 is usually a good idea.
319
320 =item oobinline => <boolean>
321
322 BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
323 is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
324 implements it slightly differently.
325
326 If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
327 is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
328 putting it into the stream.
329
330 Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
331 security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
332 unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
333 establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
334 already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
335 from most attacks.
336
337 =item read_size => <bytes>
338
339 The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will
340 try to read during each loop iteration, which affects memory
341 requirements). Default: C<8192>.
342
343 =item low_water_mark => <bytes>
344
345 Sets the amount of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
346 buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is
347 considered empty.
348
349 Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
350 the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
351 the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
352 is good in almost all cases.
353
354 =item linger => <seconds>
355
356 If non-zero (default: C<3600>), then the destructor of the
357 AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
358 write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
359 socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
360 system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
361
362 This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
363 yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
364 help.
365
366 =item peername => $string
367
368 A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
369 (I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
370
371 Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
372 peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
373 verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or
374 C<undef>.
375
376 =item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
377
378 When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
379 AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the conenction has been
380 established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
381
382 All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
383 appropriate error message.
384
385 TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
386 automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
387 have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
388 to add the dependency yourself.
389
390 Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
391 C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
392 mode.
393
394 You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
395 to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
396 or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
397 AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
398 object.
399
400 At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
401 implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
402 away.
403
404 B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
405 passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
406 happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
407 segmentation fault.
408
409 See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.
410
411 =item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
412
413 Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
414 (unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
415 missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
416
417 Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
418 => value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
419 new TLS context object.
420
421 =item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
422
423 This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
424 C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
425 (C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
426
427 The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
428 callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
429
430 TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
431 callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
432
433 Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
434 called, as normal.
435
436 Note that you cannot call C<starttls> right again in this callback. If you
437 need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
438 then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
439
440 =item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
441
442 When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
443 set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
444 then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
445 on the handle.
446
447 The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
448 callback.
449
450 This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
451 underlying handle signals EOF.
452
453 =item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
454
455 This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
456
457 If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
458 suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
459 texts.
460
461 Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
462 use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

819
820 AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one

822
823 The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
824 AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.
825
826 When data could be written and the write buffer is shorter then the low
827 water mark, the C<on_drain> callback will be invoked.

918 Instead of formatting your data yourself, you can also let this module
919 do the job by specifying a type and type-specific arguments. You
920 can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in which
921 case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
922 C<anyevent_read_type> function inside (see "custom write types", below).

941
942 =item packstring => $format, $data
943
944 An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
945 uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
946 integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
947 optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).

956
957 =item json => $array_or_hashref
958
959 Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
960 provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
961 in UTF-8.
962
963 JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
964 one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
965 additional framing.
966
967 The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
968 this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
969 able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
970
971 A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
972 JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
973 they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
974 JSON text:
975
976 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
977 $handle->push_write ("\012");
978
979 An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
980 rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
981
982 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
983
984 Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
985 this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

1019 =item $handle->push_shutdown
1020
1021 Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1022 before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1023 C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1024 C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1025 replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1026
1027 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 } # for push_shutdown
1028
1029 This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1030 the peer.
1031
1032 You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1033 afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1034

1042 }
1043
1044 =item custom write types - Package::anyevent_write_type $handle, @args
1045
1046 Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1047 a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1048 a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1049 progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1050 function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1051
1052 Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will the function with
1053 the handle object and the remaining arguments.
1054
1055 The function is supposed to return a single octet string that will be
1056 appended to the write buffer, so you cna mentally treat this function as a
1057 "arguments to on-the-wire-format" converter.
1058
1059 Example: implement a custom write type C<join> that joins the remaining
1060 arguments using the first one.
1061
1062 $handle->push_write (My::Type => " ", 1,2,3);
1063
1064 # uses the following package, which can be defined in the "My::Type" or in
1065 # the "My" modules to be auto-loaded, or just about anywhere when the
1066 # My::Type::anyevent_write_type is defined before invoking it.

1082 =head2 READ QUEUE
1083
1084 AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
1085 for reading.
1086
1087 The read queue is more complex than the write queue. It can be used in two
1088 ways, the "simple" way, using only C<on_read> and the "complex" way, using
1089 a queue.
1090
1091 In the simple case, you just install an C<on_read> callback and whenever
1092 new data arrives, it will be called. You can then remove some data (if
1093 enough is there) from the read buffer (C<< $handle->rbuf >>). Or you cna
1094 leave the data there if you want to accumulate more (e.g. when only a
1095 partial message has been received so far).
1096
1097 In the more complex case, you want to queue multiple callbacks. In this
1098 case, AnyEvent::Handle will call the first queued callback each time new
1099 data arrives (also the first time it is queued) and removes it when it has
1100 done its job (see C<push_read>, below).
1101
1102 This way you can, for example, push three line-reads, followed by reading
1103 a chunk of data, and AnyEvent::Handle will execute them in order.
1104
1105 Example 1: EPP protocol parser. EPP sends 4 byte length info, followed by
1106 the specified number of bytes which give an XML datagram.
1107
1108 # in the default state, expect some header bytes
1109 $handle->on_read (sub {
1110 # some data is here, now queue the length-header-read (4 octets)
1111 shift->unshift_read (chunk => 4, sub {
1112 # header arrived, decode
1113 my $len = unpack "N", $_[1];
1114
1115 # now read the payload
1116 shift->unshift_read (chunk => $len, sub {
1117 my $xml = $_[1];
1118 # handle xml
1119 });
1120 });
1121 });
1122
1123 Example 2: Implement a client for a protocol that replies either with "OK"
1124 and another line or "ERROR" for the first request that is sent, and 64
1125 bytes for the second request. Due to the availability of a queue, we can
1126 just pipeline sending both requests and manipulate the queue as necessary
1127 in the callbacks.
1128
1129 When the first callback is called and sees an "OK" response, it will
1130 C<unshift> another line-read. This line-read will be queued I<before> the
1131 64-byte chunk callback.
1132
1133 # request one, returns either "OK + extra line" or "ERROR"
1134 $handle->push_write ("request 1\015\012");
1135
1136 # we expect "ERROR" or "OK" as response, so push a line read
1137 $handle->push_read (line => sub {
1138 # if we got an "OK", we have to _prepend_ another line,
1139 # so it will be read before the second request reads its 64 bytes
1140 # which are already in the queue when this callback is called
1141 # we don't do this in case we got an error
1142 if ($_[1] eq "OK") {
1143 $_[0]->unshift_read (line => sub {
1144 my $response = $_[1];
1145 ...
1146 });
1147 }
1148 });
1149
1150 # request two, simply returns 64 octets
1151 $handle->push_write ("request 2\015\012");

1254 member, if you want. However, the only operation allowed on the
1255 read buffer (apart from looking at it) is removing data from its
1256 beginning. Otherwise modifying or appending to it is not allowed and will
1257 lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
1258
1259 NOTE: The read buffer should only be used or modified if the C<on_read>,
1260 C<push_read> or C<unshift_read> methods are used. The other read methods
1261 automatically manage the read buffer.

1276 The callback is called each time some additional read data arrives.
1277
1278 It must check whether enough data is in the read buffer already.
1279
1280 If not enough data is available, it must return the empty list or a false
1281 value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
1282 available (or an error condition is detected).
1283
1284 If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
1285 interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
1286 true, it will be removed from the queue.

1331 Instead of providing a callback that parses the data itself you can chose
1332 between a number of predefined parsing formats, for chunks of data, lines
1333 etc. You can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in
1334 which case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
1335 C<anyevent_read_type> function inside (see "custom read types", below).

1344 Invoke the callback only once C<$octets> bytes have been read. Pass the
1345 data read to the callback. The callback will never be called with less
1346 data.
1347
1348 Example: read 2 bytes.
1349

1351 warn "yay ", unpack "H*", $_[1];

1365
1366 =item line => [$eol, ]$cb->($handle, $line, $eol)
1367
1368 The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
1369 line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
1370 marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
1371 the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
1372
1373 The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
1374 will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
1375 object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
1376 regular expression.
1377
1378 The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
1379 undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
1380 protocols).
1381
1382 Partial lines at the end of the stream will never be returned, as they are
1383 not marked by the end of line marker.

1411 =item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1412
1413 Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1414 everything up to and including the match.
1415
1416 Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1417
1418 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1419
1420 If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1421 to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1422 does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1423 useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1424 receive buffer overflow).
1425
1426 Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1427 anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1428
1429 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1430
1431 If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1432 the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1433 and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1434 unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1435 know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1436 have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1437 and is usually worth only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1438
1439 Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1440 expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practise, but...), we use
1441 a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1442 it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1443 required for the accept regex.

1445 $handle->push_read (regex =>
1446 qr<\015\012\015\012>,

1522 optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
1523

1564
1565 Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the
1566 callback. When a parse error occurs, an C<EBADMSG> error will be raised.
1567
1568 If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1569 for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1570
1571 This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
1572 2.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1573 dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1574 AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1575
1576 Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1577 types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See
1578 the C<json> write type description, above, for an actual example.

1665
1666 Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1667 of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1668 find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1669 progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1670 function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1671
1672 Whenever this type is used, C<push_read> will invoke the function with the
1673 handle object, the original callback and the remaining arguments.
1674
1675 The function is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure) that
1676 works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>), so you can
1677 mentally treat the function as a "configurable read type to read callback"
1678 converter.
1679
1680 It should invoke the original callback when it is done reading (remember
1681 to pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that,
1682 although there is no strict requirement on this).
1683
1684 For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m
1685 AnyEvent::Handle>, search for C<register_read_type>)).
1686
1687 =item $handle->stop_read
1688
1689 =item $handle->start_read
1690
1691 In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1692 socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1693 any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1694 C<start_read>.
1695
1696 Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1697 you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1698 will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1699 there are any read requests in the queue.

1826
1827 Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
1828 object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
1829 C<starttls>.
1830
1831 Starting TLS is currently an asynchronous operation - when you push some
1832 write data and then call C<< ->starttls >> then TLS negotiation will start
1833 immediately, after which the queued write data is then sent.
1834
1835 The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
1836 C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
1837
1838 The second argument is the optional C<AnyEvent::TLS> object that is used
1839 when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object, or
1840 a hash reference with C<< key => value >> pairs that will be used to
1841 construct a new context.
1842
1843 The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>, the TLS
1844 context in C<< $handle->{tls_ctx} >> after this call and can be used or
1845 changed to your liking. Note that the handshake might have already started
1846 when this function returns.
1847
1848 Due to bugs in OpenSSL, it might or might not be possible to do multiple
1849 handshakes on the same stream. Best do not attempt to use the stream after
1850 stopping TLS.

1985
1986 Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1987 no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
1988 will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
1989 destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
1990 empty list).
1991
1992 Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1993 object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1994 callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1995 callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1996 within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1997 that case.
1998
1999 Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2000 will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2001 is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2002 reference cycles.
2003
2004 The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2005 data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2045 =over 4
2046
2047 =item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
2048 still get further invocations!
2049
2050 That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2051 read or write callbacks.
2052
2053 It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2054 from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2055 ->destroy >> method.
2056
2057 =item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2058 reading?
2059
2060 Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2061 communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
2062 read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2063 write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2064
2065 This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2066 callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2067 is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2068
2069 During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2070 non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2071 connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2072 C<destroy> method.
2073
2074 =item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2075
2076 If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2077 to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2078 clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2079 will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2080
2081 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2082 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2083 $handle->on_error (sub {
2084 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2085 });
2086
2087 The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2088 and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2089 fact, all data has been received.
2090
2091 It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2092 to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2093 intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2094 explicit QUIT command.
2095
2096 =item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2097 all data has been written?
2098
2099 After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2100 and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2101 C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2102 written to the socket:
2103
2104 $handle->push_write (...);
2105 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2106 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
2107 undef $handle;
2108 });
2109
2110 If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2111 consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2112
2113 =item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2114
2115 If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2116 simply connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2117 parameter:
2118
2119 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2120 my ($fh) = @_;
2121
2122 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2123 fh => $fh,
2124 tls => "connect",
2125 on_error => sub { ... };
2126
2127 $handle->push_write (...);
2128 };
2129
2130 =item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2131
2132 Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2133 peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2134 L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2135
2136 E.g. for HTTPS:
2137
2138 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2139 my ($fh) = @_;
2140
2141 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2142 fh => $fh,
2143 peername => $host,
2144 tls => "connect",
2145 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2146 ...
2147
2148 Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2149 "peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2150 peername verification will be done.
2151
2152 The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2153 certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2154 C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2155
2156 tls_ctx => {
2157 verify => 1,
2158 verify_peername => "https",
2159 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2160 },
2161
2162 =item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2163
2164 Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2165 three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2166 self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2167 there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2168 nice program for that purpose).
2169
2170 Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2171 L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2172 file should then look like this:
2173
2174 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2175 ...header data
2176 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2177 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2178
2179 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2180 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2181 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2182
2183 The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2184 specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2185
2186 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2187 my ($fh) = @_;
2188
2189 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2190 fh => $fh,
2191 tls => "accept",
2192 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2193 ...
2194
2195 When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2196 know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.

2202
2203 In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
2204
2205 To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
2206 conventions:
2207
2208 =over 4
2209
2210 =item * all constructor arguments become object members.
2211
2212 At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
2213 will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
2214 mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
2215
2216 =item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
2217
2218 All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
2219 with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
2220 for use for subclasses.
2221
2222 =item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
2223 are free to use in subclasses.
2224
2225 Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
2226 member variables, but thats just life, at least it is documented.
