303If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
304when the write buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
305avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
306
307Although the units of this parameter is bytes, this is the I<raw> number
308of bytes not yet accepted by the kernel. This can make a difference when
309you e.g. use TLS, as TLS typically makes your write data larger (but it
310can also make it smaller due to compression).
311
312As an example of when this limit is useful, take a chat server that sends
313chat messages to a client. If the client does not read those in a timely
314manner then the send buffer in the server would grow unbounded.

1089Encodes the given scalar into a CBOR value. Unless you provide your own
1090L<CBOR::XS> object, this means it will be encoded to a CBOR string not
1091using any extensions, if possible.
1092
1093CBOR values are self-delimiting, so you can write CBOR at one end of
1094a handle and read them at the other end without using any additional
1095framing.
1096
1097A simple nd very very fast RPC protocol that interoperates with
1098other languages is to send CBOR and receive CBOR values (arrays are
1099recommended):

1763Reads a CBOR value, decodes it and passes it to the callback. When a parse

1766If a L<CBOR::XS> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be
1767used for the final decode, otherwise it will create a CBOR coder without
1768enabling any options.

1770You have to provide a dependency to L<CBOR::XS> on your own: this module
1771will load the L<CBOR::XS> module, but AnyEvent does not depend on it
1772itself.
1773
1774Since CBOR values are fully self-delimiting, the C<cbor> read and write
1775types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange CBOR datagrams. See

1852
1853Checks the input stream for a valid SSL or TLS handshake TLSPaintext
1854record without consuming anything. Only SSL version 3 or higher
1855is handled, up to the fictituous protocol 4.x (but both SSL3+ and
1856SSL2-compatible framing is supported).
1857
1858If it detects that the input data is likely TLS, it calls the callback
1859with a true value for C<$detect> and the (on-wire) TLS version as second
1860and third argument (C<$major> is C<3>, and C<$minor> is 0..3 for SSL
18613.0, TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, respectively). If it detects the input to
1862be definitely not TLS, it calls the callback with a false value for
1863C<$detect>.
1864
1865The callback could use this information to decide whether or not to start
1866TLS negotiation.
1867
1868In all cases the data read so far is passed to the following read
1869handlers.
1870
1871Usually you want to use the C<tls_autostart> read type instead.
1872
1873If you want to design a protocol that works in the presence of TLS
1874dtection, make sure that any non-TLS data doesn't start with the octet 22
1875(ASCII SYN, 16 hex) or 128-255 (i.e. highest bit set). The checks this
1876read type does are a bit more strict, but might losen in the future to
1877accomodate protocol changes.
1878
1879This read type does not rely on L<AnyEvent::TLS> (and thus, not on
1880L<Net::SSLeay>).
1881
1882=item tls_autostart => $tls[, $tls_ctx]
1883
1884Tries to detect a valid SSL or TLS handshake. If one is detected, it tries
1885to start tls by calling C<starttls> with the given arguments.
1886
1887In practise, C<$tls> must be C<accept>, or a Net::SSLeay context that has
1888been configured to accept, as servers do not normally send a handshake on
1889their own and ths cannot be detected in this way.
1890

1745These methods will have no effect when in TLS mode (as TLS doesn't support 1976In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1746half-duplex connections). 1977as TLS does not support half-duplex connections. In current versions they
1978work as expected, as this behaviour is required to avoid certain resource
1979attacks, where the program would be forced to read (and buffer) arbitrary
1980amounts of data before being able to send some data. The drawback is that
1981some readings of the the SSL/TLS specifications basically require this
1982attack to be working, as SSL/TLS implementations might stall sending data
1983during a rehandshake.
1984
1985As a guideline, during the initial handshake, you should not stop reading,

2136 2399
2400=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2401
2402Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2403you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2404considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2405
2406To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2407is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You can set
2408an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2409queue.
2410
2411See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2412
2413=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2414
2415Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2416followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2417and handles them, in a loop.
2418
2419There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2420handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2421close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2422client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2423detect an unexpected detection close.
2424
2425To handle this case, always make sure you have a non-empty read queue, by
2426pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2427
2428 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2429 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2430 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2431
2432 ... handle request
2433
2434 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2435 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2436 });
2437
2438 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2439 # now push the first @start_request
2440 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2441
2442By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2443some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2444unexpectedly.
2445
2446The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2447at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2448sockets easier, and in general, it means you cannot distinguish a protocl
2449failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2450kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2451problem).
2452
2453Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2454C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2455connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2456
2457A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2458callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2459(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2460error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2461and simpler:
2462
2463 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2464 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2465 my ($hdl) = @_;
2466
2467 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2468 # simply start read the request
2469
2470 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2471 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2472
2473 ... handle request
2474
2475 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2476 # let the request queue go empty.
2477 });
2478 });

2166 2509
2510Note that this example removes the C<rbuf> member from the handle object,
2511which is not normally allowed by the API. It is expressly permitted in
2512this case only, as the handle object needs to be destroyed afterwards.
