51filehandles. For utility functions for doing non-blocking connects and accepts 36stream-based filehandles (sockets, pipes, and other stream things).

100
101Try to connect to the specified host and service (port), using
102C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>. The C<$host> additionally becomes the
103default C<peername>.
104
105You have to specify either this parameter, or C<fh>, above.
106
107It is possible to push requests on the read and write queues, and modify
108properties of the stream, even while AnyEvent::Handle is connecting.
109
110When this parameter is specified, then the C<on_prepare>,
111C<on_connect_error> and C<on_connect> callbacks will be called under the
112appropriate circumstances:
113
114=over 4
115
79=item on_eof => $cb->($handle) 116=item on_prepare => $cb->($handle)
80 117
81Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected, 118This (rarely used) callback is called before a new connection is
82i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the 119attempted, but after the file handle has been created (you can access that
83connection cleanly. 120file handle via C<< $handle->{fh} >>). It could be used to prepare the
121file handle with parameters required for the actual connect (as opposed to
122settings that can be changed when the connection is already established).
84 123
85For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data, 124The return value of this callback should be the connect timeout value in
86you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the eof 125seconds (or C<0>, or C<undef>, or the empty list, to indicate that the

88down.
89 127
90While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set an eof callback, 128=item on_connect => $cb->($handle, $host, $port, $retry->())
91otherwise you might end up with a closed socket while you are still
92waiting for data.
93 129
94If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been 130This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
95set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
96 131
132The peer's numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
133parameters, together with a retry callback. At the time it is called the
134read and write queues, EOF status, TLS status and similar properties of
135the handle will have been reset.
136
137It is not allowed to use the read or write queues while the handle object
138is connecting.
139
140If, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, calling C<$retry> will
141continue with the next connection target (in case of multi-homed hosts or
142SRV records there can be multiple connection endpoints). The C<$retry>
143callback can be invoked after the connect callback returns, i.e. one can
144start a handshake and then decide to retry with the next host if the
145handshake fails.
146
147In most cases, you should ignore the C<$retry> parameter.
148
149=item on_connect_error => $cb->($handle, $message)
150
151This callback is called when the connection could not be
152established. C<$!> will contain the relevant error code, and C<$message> a
153message describing it (usually the same as C<"$!">).
154
155If this callback isn't specified, then C<on_error> will be called with a
156fatal error instead.
157
158=back
159
97=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal) 160=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)

101connect or a read error. 164connect, or a read error.
102 165
103Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On 166Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
104fatal errors the handle object will be shut down and will not be usable 167fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->

107(C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors. 170with active (but unsatisfiable) read watchers (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors. In
171cases where the other side can close the connection at will, it is
172often easiest to not report C<EPIPE> errors in this callback.
108 173
174AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
175against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
176recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
177error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
178
109Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended 179Non-fatal errors can be retried by returning, but it is recommended

201must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
202the beginning from it.

204You can also call C<< ->push_read (...) >> or any other function that
205modifies the read queue. Or do both. Or ...

134error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>). 210error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
135 211
212Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
213doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
214are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
215C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
216
217=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
218
219Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
220i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
221connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
222queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
223connection close and will be flagged as an error).
224
225For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
226you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
227callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
228down.
229
230If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
231set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.

155 257
258There are three variants of the timeouts that work independently of each
259other, for both read and write (triggered when nothing was read I<OR>
260written), just read (triggered when nothing was read), and just write:
261C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
262C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
263C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.

298when the write buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
299avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
300
301Although the units of this parameter is bytes, this is the I<raw> number
302of bytes not yet accepted by the kernel. This can make a difference when
303you e.g. use TLS, as TLS typically makes your write data larger (but it
304can also make it smaller due to compression).
305
306As an example of when this limit is useful, take a chat server that sends
307chat messages to a client. If the client does not read those in a timely
308manner then the send buffer in the server would grow unbounded.

335
336=item keepalive => <boolean>
337
338Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
339normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
340connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
341side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
342TCP connections when the other side becomes unreachable. While the default
343is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
344and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
345to 15 minutes later.
346
347It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
348keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
349is usually a good idea.
350
351=item oobinline => <boolean>
352
353BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
354is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
355implements it slightly differently.
356
357If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
358is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
359putting it into the stream.
360
361Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
362security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
363unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
364establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
365already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
366from most attacks.

381option. Default: C<131072> or C<read_size>, whichever is higher.

215 388
389Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
390the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
391the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
392is good in almost all cases.

407
408A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
409(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
410
411Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
412peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
413verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or is
414C<undef>.

421
422All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
423appropriate error message.
232 424
233TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded 425TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
234automatically when you try to create a TLS handle). 426automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
427have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
428to add the dependency yourself.
235 429
236For the TLS server side, use C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a 430Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
237connection, use C<connect> mode. 431C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
432mode.
238 433
239You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have 434You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
240to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state> 435to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
241or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to 436or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
242AnyEvent::Handle. 437AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
438object.
243 439
440At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
441implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
442away.
443
444B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
445passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
446happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
447segmentation fault.
448
244See the C<starttls> method if you need to start TLS negotiation later. 449Use the C<< ->starttls >> method if you need to start TLS negotiation later.
245 450
246=item tls_ctx => $ssl_ctx 451=item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
247 452
248Use the given Net::SSLeay::CTX object to create the new TLS connection 453Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
249(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is 454(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this
250missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>. 455parameter is missing (or C<undef>), then AnyEvent::Handle will use
456C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
457
458Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
459=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
460new TLS context object.
461
462=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
463
464This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
465C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
466(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
467
468The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
469callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
470
471TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
472callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
473
474Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
475called as usual.
476
477Note that you cannot just call C<starttls> again in this callback. If you
478need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
479then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
480
481=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
482
483When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
484set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
485then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
486on the handle.
487
488The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
489callback.
490
491This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
492underlying handle signals EOF.

641 1100
642This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_write>. 1101Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1102before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1103C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1104C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1105replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1106
1107 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 }
1108
1109This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1110the peer.
1111
1112You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1113afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1114
1115This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1116destroyed after it returns).

1128
1129Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1130a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1131a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1132progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1133function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).

1219This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>. 1758Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1759of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1760find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1761progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1762function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).

1793In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1794as TLS does not support half-duplex connections. In current versions they
1795work as expected, as this behaviour is required to avoid certain resource
1796attacks, where the program would be forced to read (and buffer) arbitrary
1797amounts of data before being able to send some data. The drawback is that
1798some readings of the the SSL/TLS specifications basically require this
1799attack to be working, as SSL/TLS implementations might stall sending data
1800during a rehandshake.
1801
1802As a guideline, during the initial handshake, you should not stop reading,
1803and as a client, it might cause problems, depending on your application.

2112=item $handle->destroy
2113
2114Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
2115no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
2116will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
2117destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
2118empty list).
2119
2120Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
2121object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
2122callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
2123callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2124within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2125that case.
2126
2127Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2128will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2129is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2130reference cycles.
2131
2132The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2133data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2153
2154Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2155callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2156C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2157can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:
2158
2159 $hdl->starttls ("accept");
2160 return if $hdl->destroyed;
2161 $hdl->push_write (...
2162
2163Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle
2164has been destroyed, so often you can just ignore the possibility of the

2197
2198=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
2199still get further invocations!
2200
2201That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2202read or write callbacks.
2203
2204It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2205from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2206->destroy >> method.
2207
2208=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2209
2210Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2211you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2212considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2213
2214To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2215is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You can set
2216an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2217queue.
2218
2219See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2220
2221=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2222
2223Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2224followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2225and handles them, in a loop.
2226
2227There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2228handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2229close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2230client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2231detect an unexpected detection close.
2232
2233To handle this case, always make sure you have a on-empty read queue, by
2234pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2235
2236 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2237 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2238 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2239
2240 ... handle request
2241
2242 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2243 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2244 });
2245
2246 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2247 # now push the first @start_request
2248 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2249
2250By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2251some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2252unexpectedly.
2253
2254The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2255at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2256sockets easier, and in general, it means you cannot distinguish a protocl
2257failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2258kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2259problem).
2260
2261Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2262C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2263connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2264
2265A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2266callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2267(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2268error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2269and simpler:
2270
2271 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2272 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2273 my ($hdl) = @_;
2274
2275 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2276 # simply start read the request
2277
2278 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2279 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2280
2281 ... handle request
2282
2283 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2284 # let the request queue go empty.
1426 }); 2285 });
1427 push @linger, AnyEvent->timer (after => $linger, cb => sub {
1428 @linger = ();
1429 }); 2286 });
2287
2288=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2289reading?
2290
2291Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2292communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently, the
2293read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2294write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2295
2296This means that, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2297callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2298is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2299
2300During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2301non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2302connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2303C<destroy> method.
2304
2305=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2306
2307If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2308to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2309clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2310will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2311
2312 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2313 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2314 $handle->on_error (sub {
2315 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2316 });
2317
2318Note that this example removes the C<rbuf> member from the handle object,
2319which is not normally allowed by the API. It is expressly permitted in
2320this case only, as the handle object needs to be destroyed afterwards.
2321
2322The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2323and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2324fact all data has been received.
2325
2326It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2327to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2328intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2329explicit QUIT command.
2330
2331=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2332all data has been written?
2333
2334After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2335and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2336C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2337written to the socket:
2338
2339 $handle->push_write (...);
2340 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2341 AE::log debug => "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
2342 undef $handle;
2343 });
2344
2345If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2346consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2347
2348=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2349
2350If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2351connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2352parameter:
2353
2354 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2355 my ($fh) = @_;
2356
2357 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2358 fh => $fh,
2359 tls => "connect",
2360 on_error => sub { ... };
2361
2362 $handle->push_write (...);
1430 } 2363 };
1431}
1432 2364
1433=item AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX 2365=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
1434 2366
1435This function creates and returns the Net::SSLeay::CTX object used by 2367Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
1436default for TLS mode. 2368peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2369L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
1437 2370
1438The context is created like this: 2371E.g. for HTTPS:
1439 2372
1440 Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings; 2373 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
1441 Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms; 2374 my ($fh) = @_;
1442 Net::SSLeay::randomize;
1443 2375
1444 my $CTX = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new; 2376 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2377 fh => $fh,
2378 peername => $host,
2379 tls => "connect",
2380 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2381 ...
1445 2382
1446 Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options $CTX, Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL 2383Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2384"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2385peername verification will be done.
1447 2386
1448=cut 2387The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2388certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2389C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
1449 2390
1450our $TLS_CTX; 2391 tls_ctx => {
2392 verify => 1,
2393 verify_peername => "https",
2394 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2395 },
1451 2396
1452sub TLS_CTX() { 2397=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
1453 $TLS_CTX || do {
1454 require Net::SSLeay;
1455 2398
1456 Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings (); 2399Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
1457 Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms (); 2400three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
1458 Net::SSLeay::randomize (); 2401self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2402there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2403nice program for that purpose).
1459 2404
1460 $TLS_CTX = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new (); 2405Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2406L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2407file should then look like this:
1461 2408
1462 Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options ($TLS_CTX, Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL ()); 2409 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2410 ...header data
2411 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2412 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
1463 2413
1464 $TLS_CTX 2414 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
1465 } 2415 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
1466} 2416 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2417
2418The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2419specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2420
2421 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2422 my ($fh) = @_;
2423
2424 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2425 fh => $fh,
2426 tls => "accept",
2427 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2428 ...
2429
2430When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2431know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.
