33 =head1 DESCRIPTION
34
35 This is a helper module to make it easier to do event-based I/O on
36 stream-based filehandles (sockets, pipes, and other stream things).
37
38 The L<AnyEvent::Intro> tutorial contains some well-documented
39 AnyEvent::Handle examples.
40
41 In the following, where the documentation refers to "bytes", it means
42 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::Handle 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 that the
124 default timeout is to be used).
125
126 =item on_connect => $cb->($handle, $host, $port, $retry->())
127
128 This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
129
130 The peer's numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
131 parameters, together with a retry callback.
132
133 If, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, calling C<$retry>
134 will continue with the next connection target (in case of multi-homed
135 hosts or SRV records there can be multiple connection endpoints). At the
136 time it is called the read and write queues, eof status, tls status and
137 similar properties of the handle will have been reset.
138
139 In most cases, you should ignore the C<$retry> parameter.
140
141 =item on_connect_error => $cb->($handle, $message)
142
143 This callback is called when the connection could not be
144 established. C<$!> 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 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 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 entry to the callback, the value of C<$!> contains the operating
177 system 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 just 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<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
193 must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
194 the beginning from it.
195
196 You can also call C<< ->push_read (...) >> or any other function that
197 modifies the read queue. Or do both. Or ...
198
199 When an EOF condition is detected, AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
200 feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
201 calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
202 error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
203
204 Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
205 doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
206 are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
207 C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
208
209 =item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
210
211 Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
212 i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
213 connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
214 queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
215 connection close and will be flagged as an error).
216
217 For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
218 you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
219 callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
220 down.
221
222 If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
223 set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
224
225 =item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
226
227 This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
228 (or immediately if the buffer is empty already).
229
230 To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
231
232 This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
233 into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
234 of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
235 memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
236 the file when the write queue becomes empty.
237
238 =item timeout => $fractional_seconds
239
240 =item rtimeout => $fractional_seconds
241
242 =item wtimeout => $fractional_seconds
243
244 If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
245 many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying
246 file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the C<on_timeout> callback
247 will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
248 error will be raised).
249
250 There are three variants of the timeouts that work independently
251 of each other, for both read and write, just read, and just write:
252 C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
253 C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
254 C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
255
256 Note that timeout processing is active even when you do not have
257 any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
258 idle then you should disable the timeout temporarily or ignore the timeout
259 in the C<on_timeout> callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply
260 restart the timeout.
261
262 Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
263
264 =item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
265
266 Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
267 callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
268 so this condition is not fatal in any way.
269
270 =item rbuf_max => <bytes>
271
272 If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
273 when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
274 avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
275
276 For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
277 be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
278 (for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
279 amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
280 isn't finished).
281
282 =item autocork => <boolean>
283
284 When disabled (the default), C<push_write> will try to immediately
285 write the data to the handle if possible. This avoids having to register
286 a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
287 be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
288 disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
289 C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
290
291 When enabled, writes will always be queued till the next event loop
292 iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
293 but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
294 the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
295
296 =item no_delay => <boolean>
297
298 When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
299 wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
300 the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
301
302 In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
303 accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
304
305 The default is your operating system's default behaviour (most likely
306 enabled). This option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
307
308 =item keepalive => <boolean>
309
310 Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
311 normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
312 connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
313 side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
314 TCP connections when the other side becomes unreachable. While the default
315 is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
316 and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
317 to 15 minutes later.
318
319 It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
320 keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
321 is usually a good idea.
322
323 =item oobinline => <boolean>
324
325 BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
326 is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
327 implements it slightly differently.
328
329 If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
330 is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
331 putting it into the stream.
332
333 Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
334 security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
335 unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
336 establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
337 already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
338 from most attacks.
339
340 =item read_size => <bytes>
341
342 The default read block size (the number of bytes this module will
343 try to read during each loop iteration, which affects memory
344 requirements). Default: C<8192>.
345
346 =item low_water_mark => <bytes>
347
348 Sets the number of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
349 buffer: If the buffer reaches this size or gets even samller it is
350 considered empty.
351
352 Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
353 the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
354 the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
355 is good in almost all cases.
356
357 =item linger => <seconds>
358
359 If this is non-zero (default: C<3600>), the destructor of the
360 AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
361 write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
362 socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
363 system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
364
365 This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
366 yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
367 help.
368
369 =item peername => $string
370
371 A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
372 (I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
373
374 Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
375 peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
376 verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or is
377 C<undef>.
378
379 =item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
380
381 When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
382 AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the connection has been
383 established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
384
385 All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
386 appropriate error message.
387
388 TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
389 automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
390 have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
391 to add the dependency yourself.
392
393 Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
394 C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
395 mode.
396
397 You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
398 to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
399 or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
400 AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
401 object.
402
403 At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
404 implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
405 away.
406
407 B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
408 passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
409 happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
410 segmentation fault.
411
412 Use the C<< ->starttls >> method if you need to start TLS negotiation later.
413
414 =item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
415
416 Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
417 (unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
418 missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
419
420 Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
421 => value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
422 new TLS context object.
423
424 =item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
425
426 This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
427 C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
428 (C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
429
430 The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
431 callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
432
433 TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
434 callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
435
436 Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
437 called as usual.
438
439 Note that you cannot just call C<starttls> again in this callback. If you
440 need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
441 then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
442
443 =item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
444
445 When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
446 set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
447 then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
448 on the handle.
449
450 The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
451 callback.
452
453 This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
454 underlying handle signals EOF.
455
456 =item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
457
458 This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
459
460 If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
461 suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
462 texts.
463
464 Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
465 use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

827 =head2 WRITE QUEUE
828
829 AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
830 for reading.
831
832 The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
833 AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.
834
835 When data could be written and the write buffer is shorter then the low
836 water mark, the C<on_drain> callback will be invoked.

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

960 =item packstring => $format, $data
961
962 An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
963 uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
964 integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
965 optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).

974
975 =item json => $array_or_hashref
976
977 Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
978 provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
979 in UTF-8.
980
981 JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
982 one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
983 additional framing.
984
985 The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
986 this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
987 able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
988
989 A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
990 JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
991 they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
992 JSON text:
993
994 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
995 $handle->push_write ("\012");
996
997 An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
998 rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
999
1000 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
1001
1002 Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
1003 this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

1037 =item $handle->push_shutdown
1038
1039 Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1040 before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1041 C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1042 C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1043 replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1044
1045 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 } # for push_shutdown
1046
1047 This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1048 the peer.
1049
1050 You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1051 afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1052
1053 This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1054 destroyed after it returns).
1055
1056 =cut
1057
1058 sub push_shutdown {
1059 my ($self) = @_;

1063 }
1064
1065 =item custom write types - Package::anyevent_write_type $handle, @args
1066
1067 Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1068 a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1069 a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1070 progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1071 function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1072
1073 Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will the function with
1074 the handle object and the remaining arguments.
1075
1076 The function is supposed to return a single octet string that will be
1077 appended to the write buffer, so you cna mentally treat this function as a
1078 "arguments to on-the-wire-format" converter.
1079
1080 Example: implement a custom write type C<join> that joins the remaining
1081 arguments using the first one.
1082
1083 $handle->push_write (My::Type => " ", 1,2,3);
1084
1085 # uses the following package, which can be defined in the "My::Type" or in
1086 # the "My" modules to be auto-loaded, or just about anywhere when the
1087 # My::Type::anyevent_write_type is defined before invoking it.

1103 =head2 READ QUEUE
1104
1105 AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
1106 for reading.
1107
1108 The read queue is more complex than the write queue. It can be used in two
1109 ways, the "simple" way, using only C<on_read> and the "complex" way, using
1110 a queue.
1111
1112 In the simple case, you just install an C<on_read> callback and whenever
1113 new data arrives, it will be called. You can then remove some data (if
1114 enough is there) from the read buffer (C<< $handle->rbuf >>). Or you can
1115 leave the data there if you want to accumulate more (e.g. when only a
1116 partial message has been received so far), or change the read queue with
1117 e.g. C<push_read>.
1118
1119 In the more complex case, you want to queue multiple callbacks. In this
1120 case, AnyEvent::Handle will call the first queued callback each time new
1121 data arrives (also the first time it is queued) and remove it when it has
1122 done its job (see C<push_read>, below).
1123
1124 This way you can, for example, push three line-reads, followed by reading
1125 a chunk of data, and AnyEvent::Handle will execute them in order.
1126
1127 Example 1: EPP protocol parser. EPP sends 4 byte length info, followed by
1128 the specified number of bytes which give an XML datagram.
1129
1130 # in the default state, expect some header bytes
1131 $handle->on_read (sub {
1132 # some data is here, now queue the length-header-read (4 octets)
1133 shift->unshift_read (chunk => 4, sub {
1134 # header arrived, decode
1135 my $len = unpack "N", $_[1];
1136
1137 # now read the payload
1138 shift->unshift_read (chunk => $len, sub {
1139 my $xml = $_[1];
1140 # handle xml
1141 });
1142 });
1143 });
1144
1145 Example 2: Implement a client for a protocol that replies either with "OK"
1146 and another line or "ERROR" for the first request that is sent, and 64
1147 bytes for the second request. Due to the availability of a queue, we can
1148 just pipeline sending both requests and manipulate the queue as necessary
1149 in the callbacks.
1150
1151 When the first callback is called and sees an "OK" response, it will
1152 C<unshift> another line-read. This line-read will be queued I<before> the
1153 64-byte chunk callback.
1154
1155 # request one, returns either "OK + extra line" or "ERROR"
1156 $handle->push_write ("request 1\015\012");
1157
1158 # we expect "ERROR" or "OK" as response, so push a line read
1159 $handle->push_read (line => sub {
1160 # if we got an "OK", we have to _prepend_ another line,
1161 # so it will be read before the second request reads its 64 bytes
1162 # which are already in the queue when this callback is called
1163 # we don't do this in case we got an error
1164 if ($_[1] eq "OK") {
1165 $_[0]->unshift_read (line => sub {
1166 my $response = $_[1];
1167 ...
1168 });
1169 }
1170 });

1259 the new callback is C<undef>). See the description of C<on_read> in the
1260 constructor.
1261

1263 destroyed after it returns).

1276 Returns the read buffer (as a modifiable lvalue). You can also access the
1277 read buffer directly as the C<< ->{rbuf} >> member, if you want (this is
1278 much faster, and no less clean).
1279
1280 The only operation allowed on the read buffer (apart from looking at it)
1281 is removing data from its beginning. Otherwise modifying or appending to
1282 it is not allowed and will lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
1283
1284 NOTE: The read buffer should only be used or modified in the C<on_read>
1285 callback or when C<push_read> or C<unshift_read> are used with a single
1286 callback (i.e. untyped). Typed C<push_read> and C<unshift_read> methods

1299 Append the given callback to the end of the queue (C<push_read>) or
1300 prepend it (C<unshift_read>).
1301
1302 The callback is called each time some additional read data arrives.
1303
1304 It must check whether enough data is in the read buffer already.
1305
1306 If not enough data is available, it must return the empty list or a false
1307 value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
1308 available (or an error condition is detected).
1309
1310 If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
1311 interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
1312 true, it will be removed from the queue.
1313
1314 These methods may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be

1361 Instead of providing a callback that parses the data itself you can chose
1362 between a number of predefined parsing formats, for chunks of data, lines
1363 etc. You can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in
1364 which case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
1365 C<anyevent_read_type> function inside (see "custom read types", below).

1376 data.
1377
1378 Example: read 2 bytes.
1379

1395

1398 The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
1399 line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
1400 marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
1401 the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
1402
1403 The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
1404 will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
1405 object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
1406 regular expression.
1407
1408 The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
1409 undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
1410 protocols).
1411

1441 =item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1442
1443 Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1444 everything up to and including the match.
1445
1446 Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1447
1448 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1449
1450 If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1451 to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1452 does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1453 useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1454 receive buffer overflow).
1455
1456 Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1457 anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1458
1459 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1460
1461 If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1462 the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1463 and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1464 unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1465 know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1466 have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1467 and is usually worth it only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1468
1469 Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1470 expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practice, but...), we use
1471 a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1472 it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1473 required for the accept regex.

1475 $handle->push_read (regex =>
1476 qr<\015\012\015\012>,

1552 optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
1553

1594
1595 Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the
1596 callback. When a parse error occurs, an C<EBADMSG> error will be raised.
1597
1598 If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1599 for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1600
1601 This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
1602 2.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1603 dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1604 AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1605
1606 Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1607 types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See

1695
1696 Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1697 of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1698 find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1699 progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1700 function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1701
1702 Whenever this type is used, C<push_read> will invoke the function with the
1703 handle object, the original callback and the remaining arguments.
1704
1705 The function is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure) that
1706 works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>), so you can
1707 mentally treat the function as a "configurable read type to read callback"
1708 converter.
1709
1710 It should invoke the original callback when it is done reading (remember
1711 to pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that,
1712 although there is no strict requirement on this).
1713
1714 For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m
1715 AnyEvent::Handle>, search for C<register_read_type>)).
1716
1717 =item $handle->stop_read
1718
1719 =item $handle->start_read
1720
1721 In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1722 socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1723 any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1724 C<start_read>.
1725
1726 Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1727 you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1728 will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1729 there are any read requests in the queue.
1730
1731 These methods will have no effect when in TLS mode (as TLS doesn't support
1732 half-duplex connections).

1857
1858 Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
1859 object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
1860 C<starttls>.
1861
1862 Starting TLS is currently an asynchronous operation - when you push some
1863 write data and then call C<< ->starttls >> then TLS negotiation will start
1864 immediately, after which the queued write data is then sent.
1865
1866 The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
1867 C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
1868
1869 The second argument is the optional C<AnyEvent::TLS> object that is used
1870 when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object, or
1871 a hash reference with C<< key => value >> pairs that will be used to
1872 construct a new context.
1873
1874 The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>, the TLS
1875 context in C<< $handle->{tls_ctx} >> after this call and can be used or
1876 changed to your liking. Note that the handshake might have already started
1877 when this function returns.
1878
1879 Due to bugs in OpenSSL, it might or might not be possible to do multiple
1880 handshakes on the same stream. It is best to not attempt to use the
1881 stream after stopping TLS.
1882
1883 This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1884 destroyed after it returns).

2021 =item $handle->destroy
2022
2023 Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
2024 no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
2025 will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
2026 destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
2027 empty list).
2028
2029 Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
2030 object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
2031 callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
2032 callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2033 within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2034 that case.
2035
2036 Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2037 will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2038 is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2039 reference cycles.
2040
2041 The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2042 data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2059
2060 Returns false as long as the handle hasn't been destroyed by a call to C<<
2061 ->destroy >>, true otherwise.
2062
2063 Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2064 callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2065 C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2066 can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:
2067
2068 $hdl->starttls ("accept");
2069 return if $hdl->destroyed;
2070 $hdl->push_write (...
2071
2072 Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle
2073 has been destroyed, so often you can just ignore the possibility of the
2074 handle being destroyed.

2104
2105 =over 4
2106
2107 =item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
2108 still get further invocations!
2109
2110 That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2111 read or write callbacks.
2112
2113 It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2114 from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2115 ->destroy >> method.
2116
2117 =item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2118 reading?
2119
2120 Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2121 communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently, the
2122 read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2123 write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2124
2125 This means that, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2126 callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2127 is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2128
2129 During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2130 non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2131 connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2132 C<destroy> method.
2133
2134 =item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2135
2136 If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2137 to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2138 clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2139 will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2140
2141 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2142 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2143 $handle->on_error (sub {
2144 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2145 });
2146
2147 The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2148 and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2149 fact all data has been received.
2150
2151 It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2152 to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2153 intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2154 explicit QUIT command.
2155
2156 =item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2157 all data has been written?
2158
2159 After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2160 and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2161 C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2162 written to the socket:
2163
2164 $handle->push_write (...);
2165 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2166 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
2167 undef $handle;
2168 });
2169
2170 If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2171 consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2172
2173 =item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2174
2175 If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2176 connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2177 parameter:
2178
2179 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2180 my ($fh) = @_;
2181
2182 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2183 fh => $fh,
2184 tls => "connect",
2185 on_error => sub { ... };
2186
2187 $handle->push_write (...);
2188 };
2189
2190 =item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2191
2192 Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2193 peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2194 L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2195
2196 E.g. for HTTPS:
2197
2198 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2199 my ($fh) = @_;
2200
2201 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2202 fh => $fh,
2203 peername => $host,
2204 tls => "connect",
2205 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2206 ...
2207
2208 Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2209 "peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2210 peername verification will be done.
2211
2212 The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2213 certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2214 C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2215
2216 tls_ctx => {
2217 verify => 1,
2218 verify_peername => "https",
2219 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2220 },
2221
2222 =item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2223
2224 Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2225 three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2226 self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2227 there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2228 nice program for that purpose).
2229
2230 Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2231 L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2232 file should then look like this:
2233
2234 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2235 ...header data
2236 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2237 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2238
2239 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2240 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2241 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2242
2243 The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2244 specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2245
2246 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2247 my ($fh) = @_;
2248
2249 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2250 fh => $fh,
2251 tls => "accept",
2252 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2253 ...
2254
2255 When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2256 know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.

2271
2272 At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
2273 will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
2274 mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
2275
