33 =head1 DESCRIPTION
34
35 This module is a helper module to make it easier to do event-based I/O on
36 stream-based filehandles (sockets, pipes or other stream things).
37
38 The L<AnyEvent::Intro> tutorial contains some well-documented
39 AnyEvent::Handle examples.
40
41 In the following, when the documentation refers to of "bytes" then this
42 means characters. As sysread and syswrite are used for all I/O, their
43 treatment of characters applies to this module as well.
44
45 At the very minimum, you should specify C<fh> or C<connect>, and the
46 C<on_error> callback.
47
48 All callbacks will be invoked with the handle object as their first
49 argument.

80 =head1 METHODS
81
82 =over 4
83
84 =item $handle = B<new> AnyEvent::Handle fh => $filehandle, key => value...
85
86 The constructor supports these arguments (all as C<< key => value >> pairs).
87
88 =over 4
89
90 =item fh => $filehandle [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
91
92 The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
93 NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking mode (using
94 C<AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking>) by the constructor and needs to stay in
95 that mode.
96
97 =item connect => [$host, $service] [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
98
99 Try to connect to the specified host and service (port), using
100 C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>. The C<$host> additionally becomes the
101 default C<peername>.
102
103 You have to specify either this parameter, or C<fh>, above.
104
105 It is possible to push requests on the read and write queues, and modify
106 properties of the stream, even while AnyEvent::Handle is connecting.
107
108 When this parameter is specified, then the C<on_prepare>,
109 C<on_connect_error> and C<on_connect> callbacks will be called under the
110 appropriate circumstances:
111
112 =over 4
113
114 =item on_prepare => $cb->($handle)
115
116 This (rarely used) callback is called before a new connection is
117 attempted, but after the file handle has been created. It could be used to
118 prepare the file handle with parameters required for the actual connect
119 (as opposed to settings that can be changed when the connection is already
120 established).
121
122 The return value of this callback should be the connect timeout value in
123 seconds (or C<0>, or C<undef>, or the empty list, to indicate the default
124 timeout is to be used).
125
126 =item on_connect => $cb->($handle, $host, $port, $retry->())
127
128 This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
129
130 The actual numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
131 parameters, together with a retry callback.
132
133 When, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, then calling
134 C<$retry> will continue with the next connection target (in case of
135 multi-homed hosts or SRV records there can be multiple connection
136 endpoints). At the time it is called the read and write queues, eof
137 status, tls status and similar properties of the handle will have been
138 reset.
139
140 In most cases, ignoring the C<$retry> parameter is the way to go.
141
142 =item on_connect_error => $cb->($handle, $message)
143
144 This callback is called when the connection could not be
145 established. C<$!> will contain the relevant error code, and C<$message> a
146 message describing it (usually the same as C<"$!">).
147
148 If this callback isn't specified, then C<on_error> will be called with a
149 fatal error instead.
150
151 =back
152
153 =item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
154
155 This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
156 occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
157 connect or a read error.
158
159 Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
160 fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->
161 destroy >>) after invoking the error callback (which means you are free to
162 examine the handle object). Examples of fatal errors are an EOF condition
163 with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors. In
164 cases where the other side can close the connection at their will it is
165 often easiest to not report C<EPIPE> errors in this callback.
166
167 AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
168 against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
169 recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
170 error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
171
172 Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended
173 to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
174 when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
175 C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
176
177 On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system
178 error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
179 C<EPROTO>).
180
181 While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
182 you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls
183 C<croak>.
184
185 =item on_read => $cb->($handle)
186
187 This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
188 and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
189 callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
190 read buffer).
191
192 To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
193 method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
194 must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
195 the beginning from it.
196
197 You can also call C<< ->push_read (...) >> or any other function that
198 modifies the read queue. Or do both. Or ...
199
200 When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
201 feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
202 calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
203 error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
204
205 Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
206 doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
207 are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
208 C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
209
210 =item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
211
212 Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
213 i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
214 connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
215 queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
216 connection close and will be flagged as an error).
217
218 For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
219 you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
220 callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
221 down.
222
223 If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
224 set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
225
226 =item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
227
228 This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
229 (or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already).
230
231 To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
232
233 This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
234 into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
235 of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
236 memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
237 the file when the write queue becomes empty.
238
239 =item timeout => $fractional_seconds
240
241 =item rtimeout => $fractional_seconds
242
243 =item wtimeout => $fractional_seconds
244
245 If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
246 many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying
247 file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the C<on_timeout> callback
248 will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
249 error will be raised).
250
251 There are three variants of the timeouts that work fully independent
252 of each other, for both read and write, just read, and just write:
253 C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
254 C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
255 C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
256
257 Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have
258 any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
259 idle then you should disable the timout temporarily or ignore the timeout
260 in the C<on_timeout> callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply
261 restart the timeout.
262
263 Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
264
265 =item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
266
267 Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
268 callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
269 so this condition is not fatal in any way.
270
271 =item rbuf_max => <bytes>
272
273 If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
274 when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
275 avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
276
277 For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
278 be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
279 (for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
280 amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
281 isn't finished).
282
283 =item autocork => <boolean>
284
285 When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
286 write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
287 a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
288 be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
289 disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
290 C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
291
292 When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
293 iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
294 but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
295 the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
296
297 =item no_delay => <boolean>
298
299 When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
300 wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
301 the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
302
303 In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
304 accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
305
306 The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
307 enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
308
309 =item keepalive => <boolean>
310
311 Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
312 normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
313 connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
314 side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
315 TCP connections whent he other side becomes unreachable. While the default
316 is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
317 and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
318 to 15 minutes later.
319
320 It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
321 keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
322 is usually a good idea.
323
324 =item oobinline => <boolean>
325
326 BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
327 is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
328 implements it slightly differently.
329
330 If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
331 is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
332 putting it into the stream.
333
334 Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
335 security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
336 unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
337 establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
338 already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
339 from most attacks.
340
341 =item read_size => <bytes>
342
343 The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will
344 try to read during each loop iteration, which affects memory
345 requirements). Default: C<8192>.
346
347 =item low_water_mark => <bytes>
348
349 Sets the amount of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
350 buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is
351 considered empty.
352
353 Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
354 the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
355 the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
356 is good in almost all cases.
357
358 =item linger => <seconds>
359
360 If non-zero (default: C<3600>), then the destructor of the
361 AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
362 write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
363 socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
364 system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
365
366 This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
367 yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
368 help.
369
370 =item peername => $string
371
372 A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
373 (I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
374
375 Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
376 peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
377 verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or
378 C<undef>.
379
380 =item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
381
382 When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
383 AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the connection has been
384 established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
385
386 All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
387 appropriate error message.
388
389 TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
390 automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
391 have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
392 to add the dependency yourself.
393
394 Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
395 C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
396 mode.
397
398 You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
399 to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
400 or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
401 AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
402 object.
403
404 At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
405 implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
406 away.
407
408 B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
409 passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
410 happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
411 segmentation fault.
412
413 See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.
414
415 =item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
416
417 Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
418 (unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
419 missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
420
421 Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
422 => value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
423 new TLS context object.
424
425 =item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
426
427 This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
428 C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
429 (C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
430
431 The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
432 callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
433
434 TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
435 callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
436
437 Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
438 called, as normal.
439
440 Note that you cannot call C<starttls> right again in this callback. If you
441 need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
442 then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
443
444 =item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
445
446 When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
447 set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
448 then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
449 on the handle.
450
451 The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
452 callback.
453
454 This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
455 underlying handle signals EOF.
456
457 =item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
458
459 This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
460
461 If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
462 suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
463 texts.
464
465 Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
466 use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

828 =head2 WRITE QUEUE
829
830 AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
831 for reading.
832
833 The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
834 AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.
835
836 When data could be written and the write buffer is shorter then the low
837 water mark, the C<on_drain> callback will be invoked.

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

940 case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
941 C<anyevent_write_type> function inside (see "custom write types", below).

961 =item packstring => $format, $data
962
963 An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
964 uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
965 integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
966 optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).

975
976 =item json => $array_or_hashref
977
978 Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
979 provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
980 in UTF-8.
981
982 JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
983 one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
984 additional framing.
985
986 The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
987 this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
988 able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
989
990 A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
991 JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
992 they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
993 JSON text:
994
995 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
996 $handle->push_write ("\012");
997
998 An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
999 rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
1000
1001 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
1002
1003 Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
1004 this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

1038 =item $handle->push_shutdown
1039
1040 Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1041 before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1042 C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1043 C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1044 replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1045
1046 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 } # for push_shutdown
1047
1048 This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1049 the peer.
1050
1051 You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1052 afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1053
1054 This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1055 destroyed after it returns).
1056
1057 =cut
1058
1059 sub push_shutdown {
1060 my ($self) = @_;

1064 }
1065
1066 =item custom write types - Package::anyevent_write_type $handle, @args
1067
1068 Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1069 a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1070 a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1071 progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1072 function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1073
1074 Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will the function with
1075 the handle object and the remaining arguments.
1076
1077 The function is supposed to return a single octet string that will be
1078 appended to the write buffer, so you cna mentally treat this function as a
1079 "arguments to on-the-wire-format" converter.
1080
1081 Example: implement a custom write type C<join> that joins the remaining
1082 arguments using the first one.
1083
1084 $handle->push_write (My::Type => " ", 1,2,3);
1085
1086 # uses the following package, which can be defined in the "My::Type" or in
1087 # the "My" modules to be auto-loaded, or just about anywhere when the
1088 # My::Type::anyevent_write_type is defined before invoking it.

1104 =head2 READ QUEUE
1105
1106 AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
1107 for reading.
1108
1109 The read queue is more complex than the write queue. It can be used in two
1110 ways, the "simple" way, using only C<on_read> and the "complex" way, using
1111 a queue.
1112
1113 In the simple case, you just install an C<on_read> callback and whenever
1114 new data arrives, it will be called. You can then remove some data (if
1115 enough is there) from the read buffer (C<< $handle->rbuf >>). Or you can
1116 leave the data there if you want to accumulate more (e.g. when only a
1117 partial message has been received so far), or change the read queue with
1118 e.g. C<push_read>.
1119
1120 In the more complex case, you want to queue multiple callbacks. In this
1121 case, AnyEvent::Handle will call the first queued callback each time new
1122 data arrives (also the first time it is queued) and removes it when it has
1123 done its job (see C<push_read>, below).
1124
1125 This way you can, for example, push three line-reads, followed by reading
1126 a chunk of data, and AnyEvent::Handle will execute them in order.
1127
1128 Example 1: EPP protocol parser. EPP sends 4 byte length info, followed by
1129 the specified number of bytes which give an XML datagram.
1130
1131 # in the default state, expect some header bytes
1132 $handle->on_read (sub {
1133 # some data is here, now queue the length-header-read (4 octets)
1134 shift->unshift_read (chunk => 4, sub {
1135 # header arrived, decode
1136 my $len = unpack "N", $_[1];
1137
1138 # now read the payload
1139 shift->unshift_read (chunk => $len, sub {
1140 my $xml = $_[1];
1141 # handle xml
1142 });
1143 });
1144 });
1145
1146 Example 2: Implement a client for a protocol that replies either with "OK"
1147 and another line or "ERROR" for the first request that is sent, and 64
1148 bytes for the second request. Due to the availability of a queue, we can
1149 just pipeline sending both requests and manipulate the queue as necessary
1150 in the callbacks.
1151
1152 When the first callback is called and sees an "OK" response, it will
1153 C<unshift> another line-read. This line-read will be queued I<before> the
1154 64-byte chunk callback.
1155
1156 # request one, returns either "OK + extra line" or "ERROR"
1157 $handle->push_write ("request 1\015\012");
1158
1159 # we expect "ERROR" or "OK" as response, so push a line read
1160 $handle->push_read (line => sub {
1161 # if we got an "OK", we have to _prepend_ another line,
1162 # so it will be read before the second request reads its 64 bytes
1163 # which are already in the queue when this callback is called
1164 # we don't do this in case we got an error
1165 if ($_[1] eq "OK") {
1166 $_[0]->unshift_read (line => sub {
1167 my $response = $_[1];
1168 ...
1169 });
1170 }
1171 });

1260 the new callback is C<undef>). See the description of C<on_read> in the

1279 You can access the read buffer directly as the C<< ->{rbuf} >>
1280 member, if you want. However, the only operation allowed on the
1281 read buffer (apart from looking at it) is removing data from its
1282 beginning. Otherwise modifying or appending to it is not allowed and will
1283 lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
1284
1285 NOTE: The read buffer should only be used or modified if the C<on_read>,
1286 C<push_read> or C<unshift_read> methods are used. The other read methods
1287 automatically manage the read buffer.

1299 Append the given callback to the end of the queue (C<push_read>) or
1300 prepend it (C<unshift_read>).
1301
1302 The callback is called each time some additional read data arrives.
1303
1304 It must check whether enough data is in the read buffer already.
1305
1306 If not enough data is available, it must return the empty list or a false
1307 value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
1308 available (or an error condition is detected).
1309
1310 If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
1311 interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
1312 true, it will be removed from the queue.
1313

1360 Instead of providing a callback that parses the data itself you can chose
1361 between a number of predefined parsing formats, for chunks of data, lines
1362 etc. You can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in
1363 which case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
1364 C<anyevent_read_type> function inside (see "custom read types", below).

1375 data.
1376
1377 Example: read 2 bytes.
1378

1397 The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
1398 line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
1399 marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
1400 the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
1401
1402 The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
1403 will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
1404 object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
1405 regular expression.
1406
1407 The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
1408 undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
1409 protocols).

1440 =item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1441
1442 Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1443 everything up to and including the match.
1444
1445 Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1446
1447 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1448
1449 If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1450 to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1451 does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1452 useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1453 receive buffer overflow).
1454
1455 Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1456 anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1457
1458 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1459
1460 If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1461 the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1462 and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1463 unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1464 know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1465 have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1466 and is usually worth only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1467
1468 Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1469 expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practise, but...), we use
1470 a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1471 it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1472 required for the accept regex.

1474 $handle->push_read (regex =>
1475 qr<\015\012\015\012>,

1593
1594 Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the
1595 callback. When a parse error occurs, an C<EBADMSG> error will be raised.
1596
1597 If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1598 for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1599
1600 This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
1601 2.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1602 dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1603 AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1604
1605 Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1606 types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See

1694
1695 Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1696 of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1697 find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1698 progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1699 function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1700
1701 Whenever this type is used, C<push_read> will invoke the function with the
1702 handle object, the original callback and the remaining arguments.
1703
1704 The function is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure) that
1705 works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>), so you can
1706 mentally treat the function as a "configurable read type to read callback"
1707 converter.
1708
1709 It should invoke the original callback when it is done reading (remember
1710 to pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that,
1711 although there is no strict requirement on this).
1712
1713 For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m
1714 AnyEvent::Handle>, search for C<register_read_type>)).
1715
1716 =item $handle->stop_read
1717
1718 =item $handle->start_read
1719
1720 In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1721 socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1722 any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1723 C<start_read>.
1724
1725 Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1726 you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1727 will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1728 there are any read requests in the queue.
1729

1856
1857 Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
1858 object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
1859 C<starttls>.
1860
1861 Starting TLS is currently an asynchronous operation - when you push some
1862 write data and then call C<< ->starttls >> then TLS negotiation will start
1863 immediately, after which the queued write data is then sent.
1864
1865 The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
1866 C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
1867
1868 The second argument is the optional C<AnyEvent::TLS> object that is used
1869 when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object, or
1870 a hash reference with C<< key => value >> pairs that will be used to
1871 construct a new context.
1872
1873 The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>, the TLS
1874 context in C<< $handle->{tls_ctx} >> after this call and can be used or
1875 changed to your liking. Note that the handshake might have already started
1876 when this function returns.
1877
1878 Due to bugs in OpenSSL, it might or might not be possible to do multiple
1879 handshakes on the same stream. Best do not attempt to use the stream after
1880 stopping TLS.
1881
1882 This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1883 destroyed after it returns).

2020 =item $handle->destroy
2021
2022 Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
2023 no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
2024 will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
2025 destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
2026 empty list).
2027
2028 Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
2029 object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
2030 callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
2031 callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2032 within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2033 that case.
2034
2035 Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2036 will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2037 is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2038 reference cycles.
2039
2040 The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2041 data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2058
2059 Returns false as long as the handle hasn't been destroyed by a call to C<<
2060 ->destroy >>, true otherwise.
2061
2062 Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2063 callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2064 C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2065 can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:
2066
2067 $hdl->starttls ("accept");
2068 return if $hdl->destroyed;
2069 $hdl->push_write (...
2070
2071 Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle
2072 has been destroyed, so often you can just ignore the possibility of the
2073 handle being destroyed.

2103
2104 =over 4
2105
2106 =item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
2107 still get further invocations!
2108
2109 That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2110 read or write callbacks.
2111
2112 It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2113 from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2114 ->destroy >> method.
2115
2116 =item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2117 reading?
2118
2119 Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2120 communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
2121 read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2122 write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2123
2124 This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2125 callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2126 is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2127
2128 During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2129 non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2130 connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2131 C<destroy> method.
2132
2133 =item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2134
2135 If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2136 to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2137 clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2138 will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2139
2140 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2141 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2142 $handle->on_error (sub {
2143 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2144 });
2145
2146 The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2147 and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2148 fact, all data has been received.
2149
2150 It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2151 to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2152 intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2153 explicit QUIT command.
2154
2155 =item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2156 all data has been written?
2157
2158 After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2159 and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2160 C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2161 written to the socket:
2162
2163 $handle->push_write (...);
2164 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2165 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
2166 undef $handle;
2167 });
2168
2169 If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2170 consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2171
2172 =item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2173
2174 If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2175 simply connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2176 parameter:
2177
2178 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2179 my ($fh) = @_;
2180
2181 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2182 fh => $fh,
2183 tls => "connect",
2184 on_error => sub { ... };
2185
2186 $handle->push_write (...);
2187 };
2188
2189 =item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2190
2191 Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2192 peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2193 L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2194
2195 E.g. for HTTPS:
2196
2197 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2198 my ($fh) = @_;
2199
2200 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2201 fh => $fh,
2202 peername => $host,
2203 tls => "connect",
2204 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2205 ...
2206
2207 Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2208 "peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2209 peername verification will be done.
2210
2211 The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2212 certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2213 C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2214
2215 tls_ctx => {
2216 verify => 1,
2217 verify_peername => "https",
2218 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2219 },
2220
2221 =item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2222
2223 Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2224 three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2225 self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2226 there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2227 nice program for that purpose).
2228
2229 Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2230 L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2231 file should then look like this:
2232
2233 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2234 ...header data
2235 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2236 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2237
2238 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2239 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2240 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2241
2242 The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2243 specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2244
2245 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2246 my ($fh) = @_;
2247
2248 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2249 fh => $fh,
2250 tls => "accept",
2251 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2252 ...
2253
2254 When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2255 know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.

2270
2271 At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it

2273 mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
2274
2275 =item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
2276
2277 All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
2278 with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
2279 for use for subclasses.
