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

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

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

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

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

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

1020 =item $handle->push_shutdown
1021
1022 Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1023 before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1024 C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1025 C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1026 replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1027
1028 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 } # for push_shutdown
1029
1030 This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1031 the peer.
1032
1033 You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1034 afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1035
1036 =cut

1038 sub push_shutdown {
1039 my ($self) = @_;

1043 }
1044
1045 =item custom write types - Package::anyevent_write_type $handle, @args
1046
1047 Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1048 a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1049 a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1050 progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1051 function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1052
1053 Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will the function with
1054 the handle object and the remaining arguments.
1055
1056 The function is supposed to return a single octet string that will be
1057 appended to the write buffer, so you cna mentally treat this function as a
1058 "arguments to on-the-wire-format" converter.
1059
1060 Example: implement a custom write type C<join> that joins the remaining
1061 arguments using the first one.
1062
1063 $handle->push_write (My::Type => " ", 1,2,3);
1064
1065 # uses the following package, which can be defined in the "My::Type" or in
1066 # the "My" modules to be auto-loaded, or just about anywhere when the
1067 # My::Type::anyevent_write_type is defined before invoking it.

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

1151 # request two, simply returns 64 octets

1252 Returns the read buffer (as a modifiable lvalue).

1254 You can access the read buffer directly as the C<< ->{rbuf} >>
1255 member, if you want. However, the only operation allowed on the
1256 read buffer (apart from looking at it) is removing data from its
1257 beginning. Otherwise modifying or appending to it is not allowed and will
1258 lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
1259
1260 NOTE: The read buffer should only be used or modified if the C<on_read>,
1261 C<push_read> or C<unshift_read> methods are used. The other read methods
1262 automatically manage the read buffer.

1276
1277 The callback is called each time some additional read data arrives.
1278
1279 It must check whether enough data is in the read buffer already.
1280
1281 If not enough data is available, it must return the empty list or a false
1282 value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
1283 available (or an error condition is detected).
1284
1285 If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
1286 interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
1287 true, it will be removed from the queue.

1332 Instead of providing a callback that parses the data itself you can chose
1333 between a number of predefined parsing formats, for chunks of data, lines
1334 etc. You can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in
1335 which case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
1336 C<anyevent_read_type> function inside (see "custom read types", below).

1345 Invoke the callback only once C<$octets> bytes have been read. Pass the
1346 data read to the callback. The callback will never be called with less
1347 data.
1348
1349 Example: read 2 bytes.
1350
1351 $handle->push_read (chunk => 2, sub {
1352 warn "yay ", unpack "H*", $_[1];
1353 });

1366
1367 =item line => [$eol, ]$cb->($handle, $line, $eol)
1368
1369 The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
1370 line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
1371 marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
1372 the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
1373
1374 The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
1375 will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
1376 object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
1377 regular expression.
1378
1379 The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
1380 undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
1381 protocols).
1382
1383 Partial lines at the end of the stream will never be returned, as they are
1384 not marked by the end of line marker.

1412 =item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1413
1414 Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1415 everything up to and including the match.
1416
1417 Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1418
1419 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1420
1421 If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1422 to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1423 does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1424 useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1425 receive buffer overflow).
1426
1427 Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1428 anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1429
1430 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1431
1432 If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1433 the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1434 and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1435 unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1436 know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1437 have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1438 and is usually worth only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1439
1440 Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1441 expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practise, but...), we use
1442 a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1443 it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1444 required for the accept regex.
1445
1446 $handle->push_read (regex =>
1447 qr<\015\012\015\012>,

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

1565
1566 Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the
1567 callback. When a parse error occurs, an C<EBADMSG> error will be raised.
1568
1569 If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1570 for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1571
1572 This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
1573 2.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1574 dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1575 AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1576
1577 Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1578 types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See
1579 the C<json> write type description, above, for an actual example.

1666
1667 Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1668 of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1669 find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1670 progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1671 function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1672
1673 Whenever this type is used, C<push_read> will invoke the function with the
1674 handle object, the original callback and the remaining arguments.
1675
1676 The function is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure) that
1677 works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>), so you can
1678 mentally treat the function as a "configurable read type to read callback"
1679 converter.
1680
1681 It should invoke the original callback when it is done reading (remember
1682 to pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that,
1683 although there is no strict requirement on this).
1684
1685 For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m
1686 AnyEvent::Handle>, search for C<register_read_type>)).
1687
1688 =item $handle->stop_read
1689
1690 =item $handle->start_read
1691
1692 In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1693 socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1694 any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1695 C<start_read>.
1696
1697 Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1698 you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1699 will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1700 there are any read requests in the queue.
1701

1827
1828 Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
1829 object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
1830 C<starttls>.
1831
1832 Starting TLS is currently an asynchronous operation - when you push some
1833 write data and then call C<< ->starttls >> then TLS negotiation will start
1834 immediately, after which the queued write data is then sent.
1835
1836 The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
1837 C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
1838
1839 The second argument is the optional C<AnyEvent::TLS> object that is used
1840 when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object, or
1841 a hash reference with C<< key => value >> pairs that will be used to
1842 construct a new context.
1843
1844 The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>, the TLS
1845 context in C<< $handle->{tls_ctx} >> after this call and can be used or
1846 changed to your liking. Note that the handshake might have already started
1847 when this function returns.
1848
1849 Due to bugs in OpenSSL, it might or might not be possible to do multiple
1850 handshakes on the same stream. Best do not attempt to use the stream after
1851 stopping TLS.

1986
1987 Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1988 no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
1989 will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
1990 destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
1991 empty list).
1992
1993 Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1994 object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1995 callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1996 callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1997 within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1998 that case.
1999
2000 Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2001 will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2002 is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2003 reference cycles.
2004
2005 The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2006 data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2046 =over 4
2047
2048 =item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
2049 still get further invocations!
2050
2051 That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2052 read or write callbacks.
2053
2054 It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2055 from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2056 ->destroy >> method.
2057
2058 =item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2059 reading?
2060
2061 Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2062 communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
2063 read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2064 write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2065
2066 This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2067 callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2068 is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2069
2070 During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2071 non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2072 connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2073 C<destroy> method.
2074
2075 =item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2076
2077 If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2078 to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2079 clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2080 will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2081
2082 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2083 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2084 $handle->on_error (sub {
2085 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2086 });
2087
2088 The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2089 and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2090 fact, all data has been received.
2091
2092 It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2093 to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2094 intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2095 explicit QUIT command.
2096
2097 =item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2098 all data has been written?
2099
2100 After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2101 and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2102 C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2103 written to the socket:
2104
2105 $handle->push_write (...);
2106 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2107 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
2108 undef $handle;
2109 });
2110
2111 If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2112 consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2113
2114 =item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2115
2116 If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2117 simply connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2118 parameter:
2119
2120 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2121 my ($fh) = @_;
2122
2123 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2124 fh => $fh,
2125 tls => "connect",
2126 on_error => sub { ... };
2127
2128 $handle->push_write (...);
2129 };
2130
2131 =item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2132
2133 Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2134 peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2135 L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2136
2137 E.g. for HTTPS:
2138
2139 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2140 my ($fh) = @_;
2141
2142 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2143 fh => $fh,
2144 peername => $host,
2145 tls => "connect",
2146 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2147 ...
2148
2149 Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2150 "peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2151 peername verification will be done.
2152
2153 The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2154 certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2155 C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2156
2157 tls_ctx => {
2158 verify => 1,
2159 verify_peername => "https",
2160 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2161 },
2162
2163 =item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2164
2165 Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2166 three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2167 self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2168 there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2169 nice program for that purpose).
2170
2171 Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2172 L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2173 file should then look like this:
2174
2175 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2176 ...header data
2177 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2178 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2179
2180 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2181 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2182 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2183
2184 The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2185 specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2186
2187 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2188 my ($fh) = @_;
2189
2190 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2191 fh => $fh,
2192 tls => "accept",
2193 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2194 ...
2195
2196 When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2197 know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.

2203
2204 In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
2205
2206 To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
2207 conventions:
2208
2209 =over 4
2210
2211 =item * all constructor arguments become object members.
2212
2213 At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
2214 will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
2215 mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
2216
2217 =item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
2218
2219 All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
2220 with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
2221 for use for subclasses.
2222
2223 =item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
2224 are free to use in subclasses.
2225
2226 Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
2227 member variables, but thats just life, at least it is documented.
