48filehandles (and sockets, see L<AnyEvent::Socket> for an easy way to make 49filehandles. For utility functions for doing non-blocking connects and accepts
49non-blocking resolves and connects). 50on sockets see L<AnyEvent::Util>.

78
79=item on_error => $cb->($self) 89=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
80 90
91Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
92i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
93connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
94queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
95connection close and will be flagged as an error).
96
97For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
98you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
99callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
100down.
101
102If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
103set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
104
105=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
106
81This is the fatal error callback, that is called when, well, a fatal error 107This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
82ocurs, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to connect 108occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to

84 110
85The object will not be in a usable state when this callback has been 111Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
86called. 112fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->
113destroy >>) after invoking the error callback (which means you are free to
114examine the handle object). Examples of fatal errors are an EOF condition
115with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors.
116
117AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
118against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
119recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
120error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
121
122Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended
123to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
124when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
125C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
87 126

89error (or C<ENOSPC> or C<EPIPE>). 128error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
129C<EPROTO>).
90 130

92you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls 132you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls

97This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives 137This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
98and no read request is in the queue. 138and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
139callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
140read buffer).
99 141
100To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >> 142To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
101method or acces sthe C<$self->{rbuf}> member directly. 143method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
144must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
145the beginning from it.
102 146
103When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to 147When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
104feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before 148feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
105calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal 149calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
106error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>). 150error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
107 151
152Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
153doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
154are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
155C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
156
108=item on_drain => $cb->() 157=item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
109 158
110This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty 159This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
111(or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already). 160(or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already).
112 161
113To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method. 162To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
114 163
164This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
165into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
166of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
167memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
168the file when the write queue becomes empty.
169
170=item timeout => $fractional_seconds
171
172If non-zero, then this enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this many
173seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying file
174handle, the C<on_timeout> callback will be invoked (and if that one is
175missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT> error will be raised).
176
177Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have
178any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
179idle then you should disable the timout temporarily or ignore the timeout
180in the C<on_timeout> callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply
181restart the timeout.
182
183Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
184
185=item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
186
187Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
188callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
189so this condition is not fatal in any way.
190

119avoid denial-of-service attacks. 195avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
120 196
121For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should 197For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
122be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on 198be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on

124amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line 200amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
125isn't finished). 201isn't finished).
126 202
203=item autocork => <boolean>
204
205When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
206write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
207a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
208be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
209disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
210C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
211
212When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
213iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
214but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
215the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
216
217=item no_delay => <boolean>
218
219When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
220wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
221the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
222
223In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
224accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
225
226The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
227enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
228
127=item read_size => <bytes> 229=item read_size => <bytes>
128 230
129The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will try to read 231The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will

233requirements). Default: C<8192>.

135buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is 238buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is
136considered empty. 239considered empty.
137 240
241Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
242the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
243the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
244is good in almost all cases.
245
246=item linger => <seconds>
247
248If non-zero (default: C<3600>), then the destructor of the
249AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
250write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
251socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
252system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
253
254This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
255yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
256help.
257
258=item peername => $string
259
260A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
261(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
262
263Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
264peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
265verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or
266C<undef>.
267
268=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
269
270When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
271AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the conenction has been
272established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
273
274All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
275appropriate error message.
276
277TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
278automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
279have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
280to add the dependency yourself.
281
282Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
283C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
284mode.
285
286You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
287to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
288or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
289AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
290object.
291
292At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
293implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
294away.
295
296B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
297passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
298happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
299segmentation fault.
300
301See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.
302
303=item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
304
305Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
306(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
307missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
308
309Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
310=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
311new TLS context object.
312
313=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
314
315This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
316C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
317(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
318
319The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
320callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
321
322TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
323callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
324
325Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
326called, as normal.
327
328Note that you cannot call C<starttls> right again in this callback. If you
329need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
330then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
331
332=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
333
334When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
335set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
336then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
337on the handle.
338
339The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
340callback.
341
342This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
343underlying handle signals EOF.
344
345=item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
346
347This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
348
349If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
350suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
351texts.
352
353Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
354use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

653Instead of formatting your data yourself, you can also let this module do
654the job by specifying a type and type-specific arguments.

677uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
678integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
679optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).

688
689=item json => $array_or_hashref
690
691Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
692provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
693in UTF-8.
694
695JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
696one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
697additional framing.
698
699The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
700this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
701able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
702
703A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
704JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
705they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
706JSON text:
707
708 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
709 $handle->push_write ("\012");
710
711An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
712rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
713
714 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
715
716Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
717this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

747=item $handle->push_shutdown
748
749Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
750before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
751C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
752C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
753replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
754
755 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 } # for push_shutdown
756
757This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
758the peer.
759
760You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
761afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
762
763=cut
764
765sub push_shutdown {
766 my ($self) = @_;

768 delete $self->{low_water_mark};

770}
771
772=item AnyEvent::Handle::register_write_type type => $coderef->($handle, @args)
773
774This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_write>.
775Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will invoke the code
776reference with the handle object and the remaining arguments.
777
778The code reference is supposed to return a single octet string that will
779be appended to the write buffer.
780
781Note that this is a function, and all types registered this way will be
782global, so try to use unique names.

1114=item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1115
1116Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1117everything up to and including the match.
1118
1119Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1120
1121 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1122
1123If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1124to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1125does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1126useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1127receive buffer overflow).
1128
1129Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1130anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1131
1132 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1133
1134If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1135the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1136and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1137unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1138know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1139have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1140and is usually worth only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1141
1142Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1143expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practise, but...), we use
1144a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1145it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1146required for the accept regex.

1268Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the

1270
1271If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1272for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1273
1274This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
12752.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1276dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1277AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1278

1371This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>.
1372
1373Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_read> will invoke the code
1374reference with the handle object, the callback and the remaining
1375arguments.
1376
1377The code reference is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure)
1378that works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>).
1379
1380It should invoke the passed callback when it is done reading (remember to
1381pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that).
1382
1383Note that this is a function, and all types registered this way will be
1384global, so try to use unique names.
1385

1528
1529Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
1530object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
1531C<starttls>.
1532
1533Starting TLS is currently an asynchronous operation - when you push some
1534write data and then call C<< ->starttls >> then TLS negotiation will start
1535immediately, after which the queued write data is then sent.
1536
1537The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
1538C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
1539
1540The second argument is the optional C<AnyEvent::TLS> object that is used
1541when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object, or
1542a hash reference with C<< key => value >> pairs that will be used to
1543construct a new context.
1544
1545The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>, the TLS
1546context in C<< $handle->{tls_ctx} >> after this call and can be used or
1547changed to your liking. Note that the handshake might have already started
1548when this function returns.

1677
1678Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1679no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
1680will be freed. You must not call any methods on the object afterwards.
1681
1682Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1683object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1684callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1685callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1686within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1687that case.
1688
1689Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
1690will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
1691is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
1692reference cycles.
1693
1694The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
1695data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

1729
1730=over 4
1731
1732=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
1733still get further invocations!
1734
1735That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
1736read or write callbacks.
1737
1738It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
1739from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
1740->destroy >> method.
1741
1742=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
1743reading?
1744
1745Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
1746communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
1747read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
1748write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
1749
1750This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
1751callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
1752is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
1753
1754During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
1755non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
1756connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
1757C<destroy> method.
1758
1759=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
1760
1761If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
1762to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
1763clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
1764will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
1765
1766 $handle->on_read (sub { });
1767 $handle->on_eof (undef);
1768 $handle->on_error (sub {
1769 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
1770 });
1771
1772The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
1773and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
1774fact, all data has been received.
1775
1776It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
1777to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
1778intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
1779explicit QUIT command.
1780
1781=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
1782all data has been written?
1783
1784After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
1785and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
1786C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
1787written to the socket:
1788
1789 $handle->push_write (...);
1790 $handle->on_drain (sub {
1791 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
1792 undef $handle;
1793 });
1794
1795If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
1796consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
1797
1798=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
1799
1800If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
1801simply connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
1802parameter:
1803
1804 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
1805 my ($fh) = @_;
1806
1807 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
1808 fh => $fh,
1809 tls => "connect",
1810 on_error => sub { ... };
1811
1812 $handle->push_write (...);
1813 };
1814
1815=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
1816
1817Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
1818peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
1819L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
1820
1821E.g. for HTTPS:
1822
1823 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
1824 my ($fh) = @_;
1825
1826 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
1827 fh => $fh,
1828 peername => $host,
1829 tls => "connect",
1830 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
1831 ...
1832
1833Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
1834"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
1835peername verification will be done.
1836
1837The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
1838certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
1839C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
1840
1841 tls_ctx => {
1842 verify => 1,
1843 verify_peername => "https",
1844 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
1845 },
1846
1847=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
1848
1849Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
1850three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
1851self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
1852there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
1853nice program for that purpose).
1854
1855Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
1856L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
1857file should then look like this:
1858
1859 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
1860 ...header data
1861 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
1862 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
1863
1864 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
1865 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
1866 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
1867
1868The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
1869specify this file as C<cert_file>:
1870
1871 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
1872 my ($fh) = @_;
1873
1874 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
1875 fh => $fh,
1876 tls => "accept",
1877 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
1878 ...
1879
1880When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
1881know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.

1886=head1 SUBCLASSING AnyEvent::Handle
1887
1888In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
1889
1890To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
1891conventions:
1892
1893=over 4
1894
1895=item * all constructor arguments become object members.
1896
1897At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
1898will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
1899mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
1900
1901=item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
1902
1903All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
1904with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
1905for use for subclasses.
1906
1907=item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
1908are free to use in subclasses.
1909
1910Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
1911member variables, but thats just life, at least it is documented.
