37=head1 DESCRIPTION
38
39This module is a helper module to make it easier to do event-based I/O on
40filehandles.
41
42The L<AnyEvent::Intro> tutorial contains some well-documented
43AnyEvent::Handle examples.
44
45In the following, when the documentation refers to of "bytes" then this
46means characters. As sysread and syswrite are used for all I/O, their
47treatment of characters applies to this module as well.
48
49At the very minimum, you should specify C<fh> or C<connect>, and the
50C<on_error> callback.
51
52All callbacks will be invoked with the handle object as their first
53argument.

67=head1 METHODS
68
69=over 4
70
71=item $handle = B<new> AnyEvent::TLS fh => $filehandle, key => value...
72
73The constructor supports these arguments (all as C<< key => value >> pairs).
74
75=over 4
76
77=item fh => $filehandle [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
78
79The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
80NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking mode (using
81C<AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking>) by the constructor and needs to stay in
82that mode.
83
84=item connect => [$host, $service] [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
85
86Try to connect to the specified host and service (port), using
87C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>. The C<$host> additionally becomes the
88default C<peername>.
89
90You have to specify either this parameter, or C<fh>, above.
91
92It is possible to push requests on the read and write queues, and modify
93properties of the stream, even while AnyEvent::Handle is connecting.
94
95When this parameter is specified, then the C<on_prepare>,
96C<on_connect_error> and C<on_connect> callbacks will be called under the
97appropriate circumstances:
98
99=over 4
100
101=item on_prepare => $cb->($handle)
102
103This (rarely used) callback is called before a new connection is
104attempted, but after the file handle has been created. It could be used to
105prepare the file handle with parameters required for the actual connect
106(as opposed to settings that can be changed when the connection is already
107established).
108
109The return value of this callback should be the connect timeout value in
110seconds (or C<0>, or C<undef>, or the empty list, to indicate the default
111timeout is to be used).
112
113=item on_connect => $cb->($handle, $host, $port, $retry->())
114
115This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
116
117The actual numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
118parameters, together with a retry callback.
119
120When, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, then calling
121C<$retry> will continue with the next conenction target (in case of
122multi-homed hosts or SRV records there can be multiple connection
123endpoints). When it is called then the read and write queues, eof status,
124tls status and similar properties of the handle are being reset.
125
126In most cases, ignoring the C<$retry> parameter is the way to go.
127
128=item on_connect_error => $cb->($handle, $message)
129
130This callback is called when the conenction could not be
131established. C<$!> will contain the relevant error code, and C<$message> a
132message describing it (usually the same as C<"$!">).
133
134If this callback isn't specified, then C<on_error> will be called with a
135fatal error instead.
136
137=back
138
139=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
140
141This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
142occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
143connect or a read error.
144
145Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
146fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->
147destroy >>) after invoking the error callback (which means you are free to
148examine the handle object). Examples of fatal errors are an EOF condition
149with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors. In
150cases where the other side can close the connection at their will it is
151often easiest to not report C<EPIPE> errors in this callback.
152
153AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
154against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
155recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
156error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
157
158Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended
159to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
160when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
161C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
162
163On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system
164error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
165C<EPROTO>).
166
167While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
168you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls
169C<croak>.
170
171=item on_read => $cb->($handle)
172
173This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
174and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
175callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
176read buffer).
177
178To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
179method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
180must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
181the beginning from it.
182
183When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
184feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
185calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
186error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
187
188Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
189doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
190are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
191C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
192
193=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
194
195Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
196i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
197connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
198queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
199connection close and will be flagged as an error).
200
201For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
202you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
203callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
204down.
205
206If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
207set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
208
209=item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
210
211This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
212(or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already).
213
214To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
215
216This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
217into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
218of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
219memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
220the file when the write queue becomes empty.
221
222=item timeout => $fractional_seconds
223
224=item rtimeout => $fractional_seconds
225
226=item wtimeout => $fractional_seconds
227
228If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
229many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying
230file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the C<on_timeout> callback
231will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
232error will be raised).
233
234There are three variants of the timeouts that work fully independent
235of each other, for both read and write, just read, and just write:
236C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
237C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
238C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
239
240Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have
241any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
242idle then you should disable the timout temporarily or ignore the timeout
243in the C<on_timeout> callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply
244restart the timeout.
245
246Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
247
248=item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
249
250Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
251callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
252so this condition is not fatal in any way.
253
254=item rbuf_max => <bytes>
255
256If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
257when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
258avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
259
260For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
261be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
262(for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
263amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
264isn't finished).
265
266=item autocork => <boolean>
267
268When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
269write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
270a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
271be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
272disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
273C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
274
275When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
276iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
277but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
278the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
279
280=item no_delay => <boolean>
281
282When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
283wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
284the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
285
286In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
287accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
288
289The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
290enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
291
292=item read_size => <bytes>
293
294The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will
295try to read during each loop iteration, which affects memory
296requirements). Default: C<8192>.
297
298=item low_water_mark => <bytes>
299
300Sets the amount of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
301buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is
302considered empty.
303
304Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
305the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
306the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
307is good in almost all cases.
308
309=item linger => <seconds>
310
311If non-zero (default: C<3600>), then the destructor of the
312AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
313write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
314socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
315system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
316
317This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
318yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
319help.
320
321=item peername => $string
322
323A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
324(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
325
326Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
327peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
328verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or
329C<undef>.
330
331=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
332
333When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
334AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the conenction has been
335established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
336
337All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
338appropriate error message.
339
340TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
341automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
342have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
343to add the dependency yourself.
344
345Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
346C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
347mode.
348
349You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
350to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
351or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
352AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
353object.
354
355At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
356implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
357away.
358
359B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
360passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
361happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
362segmentation fault.
363
364See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.
365
366=item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
367
368Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
369(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
370missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
371
372Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
373=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
374new TLS context object.
375
376=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
377
378This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
379C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
380(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
381
382The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
383callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
384
385TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
386callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
387
388Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
389called, as normal.
390
391Note that you cannot call C<starttls> right again in this callback. If you
392need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
393then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
394
395=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
396
397When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
398set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
399then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
400on the handle.
401
402The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
403callback.
404
405This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
406underlying handle signals EOF.
407
408=item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
409
410This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
411
412If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
413suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
414texts.
415
416Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
417use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

728=head2 WRITE QUEUE
729
730AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
731for reading.
732
733The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
734AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.
735
736When data could be written and the write buffer is shorter then the low
737water mark, the C<on_drain> callback will be invoked.
738

826Instead of formatting your data yourself, you can also let this module do
827the job by specifying a type and type-specific arguments.
828
829Predefined types are (if you have ideas for additional types, feel free to
830drop by and tell us):
831
832=over 4
833
834=item netstring => $string
835
836Formats the given value as netstring
837(http://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt, this is not a recommendation to use them).
838
839=cut
840

843
844 (length $string) . ":$string,"
845};
846
847=item packstring => $format, $data
848
849An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
850uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
851integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
852optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
853
854=cut
855
856register_write_type packstring => sub {
857 my ($self, $format, $string) = @_;
858
859 pack "$format/a*", $string
860};
861
862=item json => $array_or_hashref
863
864Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
865provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
866in UTF-8.
867
868JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
869one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
870additional framing.
871
872The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
873this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
874able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
875
876A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
877JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
878they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
879JSON text:
880
881 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
882 $handle->push_write ("\012");
883
884An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
885rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
886
887 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
888
889Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
890this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

902

919
920=item $handle->push_shutdown
921
922Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
923before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
924C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
925C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
926replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
927
928 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 } # for push_shutdown
929
930This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
931the peer.
932
933You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
934afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
935
936=cut
937
938sub push_shutdown {
939 my ($self) = @_;
940
941 delete $self->{low_water_mark};
942 $self->on_drain (sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 });
943}
944
945=item AnyEvent::Handle::register_write_type type => $coderef->($handle, @args)
946
947This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_write>.
948Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will invoke the code
949reference with the handle object and the remaining arguments.
950
951The code reference is supposed to return a single octet string that will
952be appended to the write buffer.
953
954Note that this is a function, and all types registered this way will be
955global, so try to use unique names.

963=head2 READ QUEUE
964
965AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
966for reading.
967
968The read queue is more complex than the write queue. It can be used in two
969ways, the "simple" way, using only C<on_read> and the "complex" way, using
970a queue.
971
972In the simple case, you just install an C<on_read> callback and whenever
973new data arrives, it will be called. You can then remove some data (if
974enough is there) from the read buffer (C<< $handle->rbuf >>). Or you cna
975leave the data there if you want to accumulate more (e.g. when only a
976partial message has been received so far).
977
978In the more complex case, you want to queue multiple callbacks. In this
979case, AnyEvent::Handle will call the first queued callback each time new
980data arrives (also the first time it is queued) and removes it when it has
981done its job (see C<push_read>, below).
982
983This way you can, for example, push three line-reads, followed by reading
984a chunk of data, and AnyEvent::Handle will execute them in order.
985
986Example 1: EPP protocol parser. EPP sends 4 byte length info, followed by
987the specified number of bytes which give an XML datagram.
988
989 # in the default state, expect some header bytes
990 $handle->on_read (sub {
991 # some data is here, now queue the length-header-read (4 octets)
992 shift->unshift_read (chunk => 4, sub {
993 # header arrived, decode
994 my $len = unpack "N", $_[1];
995
996 # now read the payload
997 shift->unshift_read (chunk => $len, sub {
998 my $xml = $_[1];
999 # handle xml
1000 });
1001 });
1002 });
1003
1004Example 2: Implement a client for a protocol that replies either with "OK"
1005and another line or "ERROR" for the first request that is sent, and 64
1006bytes for the second request. Due to the availability of a queue, we can
1007just pipeline sending both requests and manipulate the queue as necessary
1008in the callbacks.
1009
1010When the first callback is called and sees an "OK" response, it will
1011C<unshift> another line-read. This line-read will be queued I<before> the
101264-byte chunk callback.
1013
1014 # request one, returns either "OK + extra line" or "ERROR"
1015 $handle->push_write ("request 1\015\012");
1016
1017 # we expect "ERROR" or "OK" as response, so push a line read
1018 $handle->push_read (line => sub {
1019 # if we got an "OK", we have to _prepend_ another line,
1020 # so it will be read before the second request reads its 64 bytes
1021 # which are already in the queue when this callback is called
1022 # we don't do this in case we got an error
1023 if ($_[1] eq "OK") {
1024 $_[0]->unshift_read (line => sub {
1025 my $response = $_[1];
1026 ...
1027 });
38 } 1028 }
39 }); 1029 });
40 1030
41 # or use the constructor to pass the callback: 1031 # request two, simply returns 64 octets

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

142
143This method installs a C<$callback> that will be called
144when new data arrived. You can access the read buffer via the C<rbuf>
145method (see below).
146
147The first argument of the C<$callback> will be the L<AnyEvent::Handle> object.

1132Returns the read buffer (as a modifiable lvalue).
1133
1134You can access the read buffer directly as the C<< ->{rbuf} >>
1135member, if you want. However, the only operation allowed on the
1136read buffer (apart from looking at it) is removing data from its
1137beginning. Otherwise modifying or appending to it is not allowed and will
1138lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
1139
1140NOTE: The read buffer should only be used or modified if the C<on_read>,
1141C<push_read> or C<unshift_read> methods are used. The other read methods
1142automatically manage the read buffer.

1153
1154Append the given callback to the end of the queue (C<push_read>) or
1155prepend it (C<unshift_read>).
1156
1157The callback is called each time some additional read data arrives.
1158
1159It must check whether enough data is in the read buffer already.
1160
1161If not enough data is available, it must return the empty list or a false
1162value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
1163available (or an error condition is detected).
1164
1165If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
1166interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
1167true, it will be removed from the queue.

1212Instead of providing a callback that parses the data itself you can chose
1213between a number of predefined parsing formats, for chunks of data, lines
1214etc.
1215
1216Predefined types are (if you have ideas for additional types, feel free to
1217drop by and tell us):
1218

1220
1221=item chunk => $octets, $cb->($handle, $data)
1222
1223Invoke the callback only once C<$octets> bytes have been read. Pass the
1224data read to the callback. The callback will never be called with less
1225data.
1226
1227Example: read 2 bytes.
1228
1229 $handle->push_read (chunk => 2, sub {
1230 warn "yay ", unpack "H*", $_[1];
1231 });

1240 $cb->($_[0], substr $_[0]{rbuf}, 0, $len, "");
1241 1
1242 }
1243};
1244
1245=item line => [$eol, ]$cb->($handle, $line, $eol)
1246
1247The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
1248line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
1249marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
1250the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
1251
1252The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
1253will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
1254object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
1255regular expression.
1256
1257The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
1258undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
1259protocols).
1260
1261Partial lines at the end of the stream will never be returned, as they are
1262not marked by the end of line marker.

1289
1290=item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1291
1292Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1293everything up to and including the match.
1294
1295Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1296
1297 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1298
1299If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1300to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1301does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1302useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1303receive buffer overflow).
1304
1305Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1306anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1307
1308 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1309
1310If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1311the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1312and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1313unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1314know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1315have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1316and is usually worth only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1317
1318Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1319expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practise, but...), we use
1320a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1321it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1322required for the accept regex.
1323
1324 $handle->push_read (regex =>
1325 qr<\015\012\015\012>,

1401optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
1402
1403For example, DNS over TCP uses a prefix of C<n> (2 octet network order),
1404EPP uses a prefix of C<N> (4 octtes).

1443
1444Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the
1445callback. When a parse error occurs, an C<EBADMSG> error will be raised.
1446
1447If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1448for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1449
1450This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
14512.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1452dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1453AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1454
1455Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1456types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See
1457the C<json> write type description, above, for an actual example.

1546
1547This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>.
1548
1549Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_read> will invoke the code
1550reference with the handle object, the callback and the remaining
1551arguments.
1552
1553The code reference is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure)
1554that works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>).
1555
1556It should invoke the passed callback when it is done reading (remember to
1557pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that).
1558
1559Note that this is a function, and all types registered this way will be
1560global, so try to use unique names.
1561
1562For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m AnyEvent::Handle>,
1563search for C<register_read_type>)).
1564
1565=item $handle->stop_read
1566
1567=item $handle->start_read
1568
1569In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1570socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1571any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1572C<start_read>.
1573
1574Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1575you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1576will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1577there are any read requests in the queue.
1578
1579These methods will have no effect when in TLS mode (as TLS doesn't support
1580half-duplex connections).

1704
1705Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
1706object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
1707C<starttls>.
1708
1709Starting TLS is currently an asynchronous operation - when you push some
1710write data and then call C<< ->starttls >> then TLS negotiation will start
1711immediately, after which the queued write data is then sent.
1712
1713The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
1714C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
1715
1716The second argument is the optional C<AnyEvent::TLS> object that is used
1717when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object, or
1718a hash reference with C<< key => value >> pairs that will be used to
1719construct a new context.
1720
1721The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>, the TLS
1722context in C<< $handle->{tls_ctx} >> after this call and can be used or
1723changed to your liking. Note that the handshake might have already started
1724when this function returns.
1725
1726Due to bugs in OpenSSL, it might or might not be possible to do multiple
1727handshakes on the same stream. Best do not attempt to use the stream after

1862=item $handle->destroy
1863
1864Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1865no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
1866will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
1867destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
1868empty list).
1869
1870Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1871object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1872callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1873callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1874within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1875that case.
1876
1877Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
1878will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
1879is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
1880reference cycles.
1881
1882The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
1883data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

1924
1925=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
1926still get further invocations!
1927
1928That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
1929read or write callbacks.
1930
1931It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
1932from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
1933->destroy >> method.
1934
1935=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
1936reading?
1937
1938Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
1939communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
1940read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
1941write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
1942
1943This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
1944callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
1945is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
1946
1947During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
1948non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
1949connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
1950C<destroy> method.
1951
1952=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
1953
1954If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
1955to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
1956clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
1957will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
1958
1959 $handle->on_read (sub { });
1960 $handle->on_eof (undef);
1961 $handle->on_error (sub {
1962 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
1963 });
1964
1965The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
1966and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
1967fact, all data has been received.
1968
1969It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
1970to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
1971intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
1972explicit QUIT command.
1973
1974=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
1975all data has been written?
1976
1977After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
1978and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
1979C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
1980written to the socket:
1981
1982 $handle->push_write (...);
1983 $handle->on_drain (sub {
1984 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
1985 undef $handle;
1986 });
1987
1988If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
1989consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
1990
1991=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
1992
1993If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
1994simply connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
1995parameter:
1996
1997 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
1998 my ($fh) = @_;
1999
2000 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2001 fh => $fh,
2002 tls => "connect",
2003 on_error => sub { ... };
2004
2005 $handle->push_write (...);
2006 };
2007
2008=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.

2010Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2011peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2012L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2013
2014E.g. for HTTPS:
2015
2016 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2017 my ($fh) = @_;
2018
2019 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2020 fh => $fh,
2021 peername => $host,
2022 tls => "connect",
2023 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2024 ...
2025
2026Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2027"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2028peername verification will be done.
2029
2030The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2031certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2032C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2033
2034 tls_ctx => {
2035 verify => 1,
2036 verify_peername => "https",
2037 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2038 },
2039
2040=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2041
2042Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2043three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2044self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2045there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2046nice program for that purpose).
2047
2048Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2049L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2050file should then look like this:
2051
2052 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2053 ...header data
2054 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2055 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2056
2057 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2058 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2059 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2060
2061The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2062specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2063
2064 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2065 my ($fh) = @_;
2066
2067 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2068 fh => $fh,
2069 tls => "accept",
2070 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2071 ...
2072
2073When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2074know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.

2079=head1 SUBCLASSING AnyEvent::Handle
2080
2081In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
2082
2083To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
2084conventions:
2085
2086=over 4
2087
2088=item * all constructor arguments become object members.
2089
2090At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
2091will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
2092mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
2093
2094=item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
2095
2096All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
2097with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
2098for use for subclasses.
2099
2100=item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
2101are free to use in subclasses.
2102
2103Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
2104member variables, but thats just life, at least it is documented.
