64=head2 SIGPIPE is not handled by this module
65
66SIGPIPE is not handled by this module, so one of the practical
67requirements of using it is to ignore SIGPIPE (C<$SIG{PIPE} =
68'IGNORE'>). At least, this is highly recommend in a networked program: If
69you use AnyEvent::Handle in a filter program (like sort), exiting on
70SIGPIPE is probably the right thing to do.

111AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
112against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
113recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
114error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).

247=item peername => $string
248
249A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
250(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
251
252Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
253peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
254verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or
255C<undef>.

265AnyEvent::Handle. 278AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
279object.
280
281At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
282implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
283away.
284
285B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
286passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
287happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
288segmentation fault.
266 289
267See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later. 290See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.

272(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is 295(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
273missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>. 296missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
297
298Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
299=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
300new TLS context object.
301
302=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
303
304This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
305C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
306(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
307
308The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
309callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
310
311TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
312callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
313
314Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
315called, as normal.
316
317Note that you cannot call C<starttls> right again in this callback. If you
318need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
319then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
320
321=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
322
323When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
324set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
325then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
326on the handle.
327
328The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
329callback.
330
331This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
332underlying handle signals EOF.

738Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
739before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
740C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
741C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
742replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
743
744 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 } # for push_shutdown
745
746This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
747the peer.
748
749You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
750afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.

1661=item $handle->destroy
1662
1663Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1664no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
1665will be freed. You must not call any methods on the object afterwards.
1666
1667Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1668object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1669callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1670callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1671within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1672that case.
1673
1674Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
1675will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
1676is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
1677reference cycles.
1678
1679The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
1680data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

1716
1717=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
1718still get further invocations!
1719
1720That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
1721read or write callbacks.
1722
1723It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
1724from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
1725->destroy >> method.
1726
1727=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
1728reading?
1729
1730Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
1731communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
1732read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
1733write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
1734
1735This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
1736callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
1737is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
1738
1739During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
1740non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
1741connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
1742C<destroy> method.
1743
1744=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
1745
1746If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
1747to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
1748clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
1749will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
1750
1751 $handle->on_read (sub { });
1752 $handle->on_eof (undef);
1753 $handle->on_error (sub {
1754 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
1755 });
1756
1757The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
1758and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
1759fact, all data has been received.
1760
1761It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
1762to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
1763intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
1764explicit QUIT command.
1765
1766=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
1767all data has been written?
1768
1769After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
1770and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
1771C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
1772written to the socket:
1773
1774 $handle->push_write (...);
1775 $handle->on_drain (sub {
1776 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
1777 undef $handle;
1778 });
1779
1780If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
1781consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
1782
1783=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
1784
1785If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
1786simply connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
1787parameter:
1788
1789 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
1790 my ($fh) = @_;
1791
1792 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
1793 fh => $fh,
1794 tls => "connect",
1795 on_error => sub { ... };
1796
1797 $handle->push_write (...);
1798 };
1799
1800=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
1801
1802Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
1803peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
1804L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
1805
1806E.g. for HTTPS:
1807
1808 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
1809 my ($fh) = @_;
1810
1811 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
1812 fh => $fh,
1813 peername => $host,
1814 tls => "connect",
1815 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
1816 ...
1817
1818Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
1819"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
1820peername verification will be done.
1821
1822The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
1823certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
1824C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
1825
1826 tls_ctx => {
1827 verify => 1,
1828 verify_peername => "https",
1829 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
1830 },
1831
1832=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
1833
1834Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
1835three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
1836self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
1837there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
1838nice program for that purpose).
1839
1840Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
1841L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
1842file should then look like this:
1843
1844 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
1845 ...header data
1846 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
1847 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
1848
1849 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
1850 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
1851 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
1852
1853The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
1854specify this file as C<cert_file>:
1855
1856 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
1857 my ($fh) = @_;
1858
1859 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
1860 fh => $fh,
1861 tls => "accept",
1862 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
1863 ...
1864
1865When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
1866know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.
