		1572	=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
		1573	still get further invocations!
		1574
		1575	That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
		1576	read or write callbacks.
		1577
		1578	It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
		1579	from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
		1580	->destroy >> method.
		1581
		1582	=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
		1583	reading?
		1584
		1585	Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
		1586	communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
		1587	read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
		1588	write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
		1589
		1590	This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
		1591	callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
		1592	is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
		1593
		1594	During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
		1595	non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
		1596	connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
		1597	C<destroy> method.
		1598
		1599	=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
		1600
		1601	If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
		1602	to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
		1603	clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
		1604	will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
		1605
		1606	$handle->on_read (sub { });
		1607	$handle->on_eof (undef);
		1608	$handle->on_error (sub {
		1609	my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
		1610	undef $handle;
		1611	});
		1612
		1613	The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
		1614	and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
		1615	fact, all data has been received.
		1616
		1617	It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
		1618	to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
		1619	intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
		1620	explicit QUIT command.
		1621
		1622	=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
		1623	all data has been written?
		1624
		1625	After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
		1626	and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
		1627	C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
		1628	written to the socket:
		1629
		1630	$handle->push_write (...);
		1631	$handle->on_drain (sub {
		1632	warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
		1633	undef $handle;
