79	=item on_error => $cb->($self)	82	=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
80		83
		84	Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
		85	i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
		86	connection cleanly.
		87
		88	For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
		89	you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
		90	callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
		91	down.
		92
		93	While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set an EOF callback,
		94	otherwise you might end up with a closed socket while you are still
		95	waiting for data.
		96
		97	If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
		98	set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
		99

		108	(but you are free to look at the current C<< ->rbuf >>). Examples of fatal
		109	errors are an EOF condition with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers
		110	(C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors.
		111
		112	AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
		113	against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
		114	recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
		115	error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
		116
		117	Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended
		118	to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
		119	when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
		120	C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).

114		153
		154	This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
		155	into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
		156	of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
		157	memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
		158	the file when the write queue becomes empty.
		159
		160	=item timeout => $fractional_seconds
		161
		162	If non-zero, then this enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this many
		163	seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying file
		164	handle, the C<on_timeout> callback will be invoked (and if that one is
		165	missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT> error will be raised).
		166
		167	Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have
		168	any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
		169	idle then you should disable the timout temporarily or ignore the timeout
		170	in the C<on_timeout> callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply
		171	restart the timeout.
		172
		173	Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
		174
		175	=item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
		176
		177	Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
		178	callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
		179	so this condition is not fatal in any way.

126		192
		193	=item autocork => <boolean>
		194
		195	When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
		196	write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
		197	a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
		198	be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
		199	disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
		200	C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
		201
		202	When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
		203	iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
		204	but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
		205	the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
		206
		207	=item no_delay => <boolean>
		208
		209	When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
		210	wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
		211	the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
		212
		213	In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
		214	accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
		215
		216	The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
		217	enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
		218

137		230
		231	Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
		232	the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
		233	the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
		234	is good in almost all cases.
		235
		236	=item linger => <seconds>
		237
		238	If non-zero (default: C<3600>), then the destructor of the
		239	AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
		240	write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
		241	socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
		242	system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
		243
		244	This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
		245	yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
		246	help.
		247
		248	=item peername => $string
		249
		250	A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
		251	(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
		252
		253	Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
		254	peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>).
		255
		256	=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
		257
		258	When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
		259	AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the conenction has been
		260	established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
		261
		262	All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
		263	appropriate error message.
		264
		265	TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
		266	automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
		267	have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
		268	to add the dependency yourself.
		269
		270	Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
		271	C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
		272	mode.
		273
		274	You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
		275	to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
		276	or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
		277	AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
		278	object.
		279
		280	At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
		281	implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
		282	away.
		283
		284	B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
		285	passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
		286	happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
		287	segmentation fault.
		288
		289	See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.
		290
		291	=item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
		292
		293	Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
		294	(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
		295	missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
		296
		297	Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
		298	=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
		299	new TLS context object.
		300
		301	=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
		302
		303	This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
		304	C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
		305	(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
		306
		307	The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
		308	callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
		309
		310	TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
		311	callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
		312
		313	Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
		314	called, as normal.
		315
		316	Note that you cannot call C<starttls> right again in this callback. If you
		317	need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
		318	then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
		319
		320	=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
		321
		322	When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
		323	set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
		324	then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
		325	on the handle.
		326
		327	The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
		328	callback.
		329
		330	This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
		331	underlying handle signals EOF.
		332
		333	=item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
		334
		335	This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
		336
		337	If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
		338	suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
		339	texts.
		340
		341	Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
		342	use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

		685	one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
		686	additional framing.
		687
		688	The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While

		738	Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data

		741	C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
		742	replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
		743
		744	sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 } # for push_shutdown
		745
		746	This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
		747	the peer.
		748

		764	Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will invoke the code
		765	reference with the handle object and the remaining arguments.
		766
		767	The code reference is supposed to return a single octet string that will
		768	be appended to the write buffer.

		1712	=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and

		1714
		1715	That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
		1716	read or write callbacks.
		1717
		1718	It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,

		1722	=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
		1723	reading?
		1724
		1725	Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
		1726	communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
		1727	read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
		1728	write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
		1729
		1730	This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
		1731	callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
		1732	is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
		1733
		1734	During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
		1735	non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
		1736	connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
		1737	C<destroy> method.
		1738
		1739	=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
		1740
		1741	If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
		1742	to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
		1743	clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
		1744	will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
		1745
		1746	$handle->on_read (sub { });
		1747	$handle->on_eof (undef);
		1748	$handle->on_error (sub {
		1749	my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
		1750	undef $handle;
		1751	});
		1752
		1753	The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
		1754	and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
		1755	fact, all data has been received.
		1756
		1757	It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
		1758	to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
		1759	intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
		1760	explicit QUIT command.
		1761
		1762	=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
		1763	all data has been written?
		1764
		1765	After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
		1766	and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
		1767	C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
		1768	written to the socket:
		1769
		1770	$handle->push_write (...);
		1771	$handle->on_drain (sub {
		1772	warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
		1773	undef $handle;
		1774	});
		1775
		1776	If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
		1777	consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
		1778
		1779	=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
		1780
		1781	If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
		1782	simply connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
		1783	parameter:
		1784
		1785	my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
		1786	fh => $fh,
		1787	tls => "connect",
		1788	on_error => sub { ... };
		1789
		1790	$handle->push_write (...);
		1791
		1792	=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.

		1801	=head1 SUBCLASSING AnyEvent::Handle
		1802
		1803	In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
		1804
		1805	To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
		1806	conventions:
		1807
		1808	=over 4
		1809
		1810	=item * all constructor arguments become object members.
		1811
		1812	At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
		1813	will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
		1814	mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
		1815
		1816	=item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
		1817
		1818	All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
		1819	with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
		1820	for use for subclasses.
		1821
		1822	=item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
		1823	are free to use in subclasses.
		1824
		1825	Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
		1826	member variables, but thats just life, at least it is documented.
