50filehandles. For utility functions for doing non-blocking connects and accepts 36stream-based filehandles (sockets, pipes, and other stream things).

76 98
77=item on_eof => $cb->($self) 99=item connect => [$host, $service] [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
78 100
79Set the callback to be called on EOF. 101Try to connect to the specified host and service (port), using
102C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>. The C<$host> additionally becomes the
103default C<peername>.
80 104
81While not mandatory, it is highly recommended to set an eof callback, 105You have to specify either this parameter, or C<fh>, above.
82otherwise you might end up with a closed socket while you are still
83waiting for data.
84 106
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
85=item on_error => $cb->($self) 116=item on_prepare => $cb->($handle)
86 117
118This (rarely used) callback is called before a new connection is
119attempted, but after the file handle has been created (you can access that
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).
123
124The return value of this callback should be the connect timeout value in
125seconds (or C<0>, or C<undef>, or the empty list, to indicate that the
126default timeout is to be used).
127
128=item on_connect => $cb->($handle, $host, $port, $retry->())
129
130This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
131
132The peer's numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
133parameters, together with a retry callback. At the time it is called the
134read and write queues, EOF status, TLS status and similar properties of
135the handle will have been reset.
136
137It is not allowed to use the read or write queues while the handle object
138is connecting.
139
140If, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, calling C<$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
160=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
161
87This is the fatal error callback, that is called when, well, a fatal error 162This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
88occurs, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to connect 163occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
89or a read error. 164connect, or a read error.
90 165
91The object will not be in a usable state when this callback has been 166Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
92called. 167fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->
168destroy >>) after invoking the error callback (which means you are free to
169examine the handle object). Examples of fatal errors are an EOF condition
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.
93 173
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.
176
177If you report the error to the user, it is recommended to always output
178the C<$message> argument in human-readable error messages (you don't need
179to report C<"$!"> if you report C<$message>).
180
181If you want to react programmatically to the error, then looking at C<$!>
182and comparing it against some of the documented C<Errno> values is usually
183better than looking at the C<$message>.
184
185Non-fatal errors can be retried by returning, but it is recommended
186to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
187when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
188C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
189
94On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system 190On entry to the callback, the value of C<$!> contains the operating
95error (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE> or C<EBADMSG>). 191system error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
192C<EPROTO>).
96 193
97While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as 194While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
98you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls 195you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default just calls

103This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives 200This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
104and no read request is in the queue. 201and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
202callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
203read buffer).
105 204
106To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >> 205To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
107method or access the C<$self->{rbuf}> member directly. 206method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
207must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
208the beginning from it.
108 209
210You can also call C<< ->push_read (...) >> or any other function that
211modifies the read queue. Or do both. Or ...
212
109When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to 213When an EOF condition is detected, AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
110feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before 214feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
111calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal 215calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
112error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>). 216error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
113 217
218Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
219doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
220are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
221C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
222
223=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
224
225Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
226i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
227connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
228queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
229connection close and will be flagged as an error).
230
231For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
232you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
233callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
234down.
235
236If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
237set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
238
114=item on_drain => $cb->() 239=item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
115 240
116This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty 241This sets the callback that is called once when the write buffer becomes
117(or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already). 242empty (and immediately when the handle object is created).
118 243
119To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method. 244To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
245
246This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
247into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
248of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
249memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
250the file when the write queue becomes empty.
251
252=item timeout => $fractional_seconds
253
254=item rtimeout => $fractional_seconds
255
256=item wtimeout => $fractional_seconds
257
258If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
259many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying
260file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the C<on_timeout> callback
261will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
262error will be raised).
263
264There are three variants of the timeouts that work independently of each
265other, for both read and write (triggered when nothing was read I<OR>
266written), just read (triggered when nothing was read), and just write:
267C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
268C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
269C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
270
271Note that timeout processing is active even when you do not have any
272outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
273idle then you should disable the timeout temporarily or ignore the
274timeout in the corresponding C<on_timeout> callback, in which case
275AnyEvent::Handle will simply restart the timeout.
276
277Zero (the default) disables the corresponding timeout.
278
279=item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
280
281=item on_rtimeout => $cb->($handle)
282
283=item on_wtimeout => $cb->($handle)
284
285Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
286callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
287so this condition is not fatal in any way.

123If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>) 291If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
124when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to 292when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
125avoid denial-of-service attacks. 293avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.

130amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line 298amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
131isn't finished). 299isn't finished).
132 300
301=item wbuf_max => <bytes>
302
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.
315
316=item autocork => <boolean>
317
318When disabled (the default), C<push_write> will try to immediately
319write the data to the handle if possible. This avoids having to register
320a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
321be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
322disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
323C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
324
325When enabled, writes will always be queued till the next event loop
326iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
327but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
328the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
329
330=item no_delay => <boolean>
331
332When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
333wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
334the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
335
336In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
337accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
338
339The default is your operating system's default behaviour (most likely
340enabled). This option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
341
342=item keepalive => <boolean>
343
344Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
345normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
346connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
347side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
348TCP connections when the other side becomes unreachable. While the default
349is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
350and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
351to 15 minutes later.
352
353It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
354keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
355is usually a good idea.
356
357=item oobinline => <boolean>
358
359BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
360is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
361implements it slightly differently.
362
363If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
364is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
365putting it into the stream.
366
367Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
368security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
369unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
370establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
371already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
372from most attacks.
373
133=item read_size => <bytes> 374=item read_size => <bytes>
134 375
135The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will try to read 376The initial read block size, the number of bytes this module will try
136on each [loop iteration). Default: C<4096>. 377to read during each loop iteration. Each handle object will consume
378at least this amount of memory for the read buffer as well, so when
379handling many connections watch out for memory requirements). See also
380C<max_read_size>. Default: C<2048>.
381
382=item max_read_size => <bytes>
383
384The maximum read buffer size used by the dynamic adjustment
385algorithm: Each time AnyEvent::Handle can read C<read_size> bytes in
386one go it will double C<read_size> up to the maximum given by this
387option. Default: C<131072> or C<read_size>, whichever is higher.
137 388
138=item low_water_mark => <bytes> 389=item low_water_mark => <bytes>
139 390
140Sets the amount of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write 391Sets the number of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
141buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is 392buffer: If the buffer reaches this size or gets even samller it is
142considered empty. 393considered empty.
143 394
395Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
396the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
397the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
398is good in almost all cases.
399
400=item linger => <seconds>
401
402If this is non-zero (default: C<3600>), the destructor of the
403AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
404write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
405socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
406system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
407
408This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
409yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
410help.
411
412=item peername => $string
413
414A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
415(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
416
417Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
418peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
419verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or is
420C<undef>.
421
144=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object 422=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
145 423
146When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means it 424When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
147will start making tls handshake and will transparently encrypt/decrypt 425AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the connection has been
148data. 426established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
427
428All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
429appropriate error message.
149 430
150TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded 431TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
151automatically when you try to create a TLS handle). 432automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't

434to add the dependency yourself.

154connection, use C<connect> mode. 437C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
438mode.
155 439
156You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have 440You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
157to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state> 441to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
158or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to 442or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
159AnyEvent::Handle. 443AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
444object.
160 445
446At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
447implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
448away.
449
450B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
451passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
452happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
453segmentation fault.
454
161See the C<starttls> method if you need to start TLs negotiation later. 455Use the C<< ->starttls >> method if you need to start TLS negotiation later.
162 456

165Use the given Net::SSLeay::CTX object to create the new TLS connection 459Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
166(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is 460(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this
167missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>. 461parameter is missing (or C<undef>), then AnyEvent::Handle will use
462C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
463
464Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
465=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
466new TLS context object.
467
468=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
469
470This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
471C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
472(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
473
474The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
475callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
476
477TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
478callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
479
480Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
481called as usual.
482
483Note that you cannot just call C<starttls> again in this callback. If you
484need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
485then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
486
487=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
488
489When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
490set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
491then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
492on the handle.
493
494The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
495callback.
496
497This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
498underlying handle signals EOF.
499
500=item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
501
502This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
503
504If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
505suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
506texts.
507
508Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
509use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

890AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one

892
893The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
894AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.

262=head2 WRITE QUEUE
263
264AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
265for reading.
266
267The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
268AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.
269
270When data could be written and the write buffer is shorter then the low
271water mark, the C<on_drain> callback will be invoked.

294want (only limited by the available memory), as C<AnyEvent::Handle>
295buffers it independently of the kernel.

1028=item packstring => $format, $data
1029
1030An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
1031uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
1032integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
1033optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).

1042
1043=item json => $array_or_hashref
1044
1045Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
1046provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
1047in UTF-8.
1048
1049JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
1050one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
1051additional framing.
1052
1053The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
1054this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
1055able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
1056
1057A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
1058JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
1059they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
1060JSON text:
1061
1062 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
1063 $handle->push_write ("\012");
1064
1065An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
1066rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
1067
1068 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
1069
1070Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
1071this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

370=cut 1105=item $handle->push_shutdown
371 1106
1107Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1108before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1109C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1110C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1111replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
372 1112
1113 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 }
1114
1115This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1116the peer.
1117
1118You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1119afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1120
1121This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1122destroyed after it returns).
1123
1124=cut
1125
1126sub push_shutdown {
1127 my ($self) = @_;

1131}
1132
1133=item custom write types - Package::anyevent_write_type $handle, @args
1134
1135Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1136a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1137a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1138progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1139function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1140
1141Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will the function with
1142the handle object and the remaining arguments.
1143
1144The function is supposed to return a single octet string that will be
1145appended to the write buffer, so you can mentally treat this function as a
1146"arguments to on-the-wire-format" converter.
1147
1148Example: implement a custom write type C<join> that joins the remaining
1149arguments using the first one.
1150
1151 $handle->push_write (My::Type => " ", 1,2,3);
1152
1153 # uses the following package, which can be defined in the "My::Type" or in
1154 # the "My" modules to be auto-loaded, or just about anywhere when the
1155 # My::Type::anyevent_write_type is defined before invoking it.
1156
1157 package My::Type;

1509=item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1510
1511Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1512everything up to and including the match.
1513
1514Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1515
1516 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1517
1518If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1519to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1520does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1521useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1522receive buffer overflow).
1523
1524Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1525anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1526
1527 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1528
1529If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1530the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1531and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1532unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1533know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1534have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1535and is usually worth it only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1536
1537Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1538expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practice, but...), we use
1539a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1540it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1541required for the accept regex.

1621

1661=item json => $cb->($handle, $hash_or_arrayref)
1662
1663Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the
1664callback. When a parse error occurs, an C<EBADMSG> error will be raised.
1665
1666If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1667for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1668
1669This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
16702.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1671dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1672AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1673
1674Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1675types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See
1676the C<json> write type description, above, for an actual example.

1761=item custom read types - Package::anyevent_read_type $handle, $cb, @args
1762
1763Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1764of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1765find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1766progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1767function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1768
1769Whenever this type is used, C<push_read> will invoke the function with the
1770handle object, the original callback and the remaining arguments.
1771
1772The function is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure) that
1773works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>), so you can
1774mentally treat the function as a "configurable read type to read callback"
1775converter.
1776
1777It should invoke the original callback when it is done reading (remember
1778to pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that,
1779although there is no strict requirement on this).
1780
1781For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m
1782AnyEvent::Handle>, search for C<register_read_type>)).

723 1787
724In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the 1788In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
725socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> no 1789socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
726any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call 1790any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
727C<start_read>. 1791C<start_read>.
728 1792
1793Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1794you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1795will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1796there are any read requests in the queue.
1797
1798In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1799as TLS does not support half-duplex connections. In current versions they
1800work as expected, as this behaviour is required to avoid certain resource
1801attacks, where the program would be forced to read (and buffer) arbitrary
1802amounts of data before being able to send some data. The drawback is that
1803some readings of the the SSL/TLS specifications basically require this
1804attack to be working, as SSL/TLS implementations might stall sending data
1805during a rehandshake.
1806
1807As a guideline, during the initial handshake, you should not stop reading,
1808and as a client, it might cause problems, depending on your application.

2117=item $handle->destroy
2118
2119Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
2120no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
2121will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
2122destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
2123empty list).
2124
2125Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
2126object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
2127callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
2128callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2129within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2130that case.
2131
2132Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2133will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2134is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2135reference cycles.
2136
2137The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2138data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2156Returns false as long as the handle hasn't been destroyed by a call to C<<
2157->destroy >>, true otherwise.
2158
2159Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2160callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2161C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2162can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:
2163
2164 $hdl->starttls ("accept");
2165 return if $hdl->destroyed;
2166 $hdl->push_write (...
2167
2168Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle
2169has been destroyed, so often you can just ignore the possibility of the
2170handle being destroyed.

2208
2209It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2210from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2211->destroy >> method.
2212
2213=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2214
2215Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2216you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2217considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2218
2219To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2220is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You can set
2221an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2222queue.
2223
2224See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2225
2226=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2227
2228Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2229followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2230and handles them, in a loop.
2231
2232There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2233handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2234close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2235client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2236detect an unexpected detection close.
2237
2238To handle this case, always make sure you have a on-empty read queue, by
2239pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2240
2241 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2242 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2243 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2244
2245 ... handle request
2246
2247 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2248 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2249 });
2250
2251 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2252 # now push the first @start_request
2253 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2254
2255By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2256some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2257unexpectedly.
2258
2259The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2260at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2261sockets easier, and in general, it means you cannot distinguish a protocl
2262failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2263kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2264problem).
2265
2266Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2267C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2268connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2269
2270A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2271callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2272(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2273error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2274and simpler:
2275
2276 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2277 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2278 my ($hdl) = @_;
2279
2280 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2281 # simply start read the request
2282
2283 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2284 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2285
2286 ... handle request
2287
2288 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2289 # let the request queue go empty.
2290 });
2291 });
2292
2293=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2294reading?
2295
2296Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2297communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently, the
2298read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2299write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2300
2301This means that, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2302callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2303is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2304
2305During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2306non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2307connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2308C<destroy> method.
2309
2310=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2311
2312If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2313to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2314clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2315will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2316
2317 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2318 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2319 $handle->on_error (sub {
2320 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2321 });
2322
2323Note that this example removes the C<rbuf> member from the handle object,
2324which is not normally allowed by the API. It is expressly permitted in
2325this case only, as the handle object needs to be destroyed afterwards.
2326
2327The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2328and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2329fact all data has been received.
2330
2331It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2332to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2333intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2334explicit QUIT command.
2335
2336=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2337all data has been written?
2338
2339After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2340and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2341C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2342written to the socket:
2343
2344 $handle->push_write (...);
2345 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2346 AE::log debug => "All data submitted to the kernel.";
2347 undef $handle;
2348 });
2349
2350If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2351consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2352
2353=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2354
2355If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2356connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2357parameter:
2358
2359 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2360 my ($fh) = @_;
2361
2362 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2363 fh => $fh,
2364 tls => "connect",
2365 on_error => sub { ... };
2366
2367 $handle->push_write (...);
2368 };
2369
2370=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2371
2372Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2373peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2374L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2375
2376E.g. for HTTPS:
2377
2378 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2379 my ($fh) = @_;
2380
2381 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2382 fh => $fh,
2383 peername => $host,
2384 tls => "connect",
2385 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2386 ...
2387
2388Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2389"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2390peername verification will be done.
2391
2392The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2393certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2394C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2395
2396 tls_ctx => {
2397 verify => 1,
2398 verify_peername => "https",
2399 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2400 },
2401
2402=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2403
2404Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2405three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2406self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2407there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2408nice program for that purpose).
2409
2410Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2411L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2412file should then look like this:
2413
2414 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2415 ...header data
2416 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2417 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2418
2419 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2420 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2421 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2422
2423The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2424specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2425
2426 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2427 my ($fh) = @_;
2428
2429 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2430 fh => $fh,
2431 tls => "accept",
2432 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2433 ...
2434
2435When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2436know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.

2440=head1 SUBCLASSING AnyEvent::Handle
2441
2442In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
2443
2444To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
2445conventions:
2446
2447=over 4
2448
2449=item * all constructor arguments become object members.
2450
2451At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
2452will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
2453mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
2454
2455=item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
2456
2457All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
2458with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
2459for use for subclasses.
2460
2461=item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
2462are free to use in subclasses.
2463
2464Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
2465member variables, but that's just life. At least it is documented.
