81 98
99=item connect => [$host, $service] [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
100
101Try to connect to the specified host and service (port), using
102C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>. The C<$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
116=item on_prepare => $cb->($handle)
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, $message)
161
162This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
163occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
164connect, or a read error.
165
166Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
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.
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<$message>.
184
185Non-fatal errors can be retried by returning, but it is recommended
186to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
187when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
188C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
189
190On entry to the callback, the value of C<$!> contains the operating
191system error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
192C<EPROTO>).
193
194While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
195you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default just calls
196C<croak>.
197
198=item on_read => $cb->($handle)
199
200This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
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).
204
205To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
206method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
207must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
208the beginning from it.
209
210You can also call C<< ->push_read (...) >> or any other function that
211modifies the read queue. Or do both. Or ...
212
213When an EOF condition is detected, AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
214feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
215calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
216error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
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

228queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
229connection close and will be flagged as an error).

92 235
93While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set an EOF callback,
94otherwise you might end up with a closed socket while you are still
95waiting for data.

100=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal)
101
102This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
103occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
104connect or a read error.
105
106Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
107fatal errors the handle object will be shut down and will not be usable
108(but you are free to look at the current C<< ->rbuf >>). Examples of fatal
109errors are an EOF condition with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers
110(C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors.
111
112Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended
113to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
114when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
115C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
116
117On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system
118error (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT> or C<EBADMSG>).
119
120While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
121you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls
122C<croak>.

126This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives

128callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
129read buffer).

131To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
132method or access the C<$handle->{rbuf}> member directly.

134When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
135feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
136calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
137error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).

158 263
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>.

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.

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.

417Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS

464
465Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key

469=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
470
471This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
472C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
473(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
474
475The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
476callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
477
478TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
479callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
480
481Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
482called as usual.
483
484Note that you cannot just call C<starttls> again in this callback. If you
485need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
486then call C<< ->starttls >> again.

488=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
489
490When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
491set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
492then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
493on the handle.
494
495The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
496callback.

498This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the

661 1107
662This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_write>. 1108Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1109before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1110C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1111C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1112replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1113
1114 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 }
1115
1116This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1117the peer.
1118
1119You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1120afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1121
1122This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1123destroyed after it returns).

1136Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1137a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1138a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1139progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1140function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).

1253This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>. 1764Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1765of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1766find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1767progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1768function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).

1285These methods will have no effect when in TLS mode (as TLS doesn't support 1799In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1286half-duplex connections). 1800as TLS does not support half-duplex connections. In current versions they
1801work as expected, as this behaviour is required to avoid certain resource
1802attacks, where the program would be forced to read (and buffer) arbitrary
1803amounts of data before being able to send some data. The drawback is that
1804some readings of the the SSL/TLS specifications basically require this
1805attack to be working, as SSL/TLS implementations might stall sending data
1806during a rehandshake.
1807
1808As a guideline, during the initial handshake, you should not stop reading,
1809and as a client, it might cause problems, depending on your application.

1573 2219
2220=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2221
2222Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2223you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2224considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2225
2226To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2227is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You can set
2228an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2229queue.
2230
2231See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2232
2233=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2234
2235Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2236followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2237and handles them, in a loop.
2238
2239There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2240handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2241close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2242client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2243detect an unexpected detection close.
2244
2245To handle this case, always make sure you have a on-empty read queue, by
2246pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2247
2248 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2249 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2250 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2251
2252 ... handle request
2253
2254 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2255 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2256 });
2257
2258 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2259 # now push the first @start_request
2260 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2261
2262By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2263some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2264unexpectedly.
2265
2266The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2267at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2268sockets easier, and in general, it means you cannot distinguish a protocl
2269failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2270kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2271problem).
2272
2273Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2274C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2275connection during a request, which would still be an error.

2277A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2278callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2279(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2280error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2281and simpler:
2282
2283 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2284 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2285 my ($hdl) = @_;
2286
2287 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2288 # simply start read the request
2289
2290 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2291 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2292
2293 ... handle request
2294
2295 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2296 # let the request queue go empty.
2297 });
2298 });

2330Note that this example removes the C<rbuf> member from the handle object,
2331which is not normally allowed by the API. It is expressly permitted in
2332this case only, as the handle object needs to be destroyed afterwards.

2361
2362If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2363connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2364parameter:
2365
2366 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2367 my ($fh) = @_;
2368
2369 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2370 fh => $fh,
2371 tls => "connect",
2372 on_error => sub { ... };
2373
2374 $handle->push_write (...);
2375 };
2376
2377=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2378
2379Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2380peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2381L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2382
2383E.g. for HTTPS:
2384
2385 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2386 my ($fh) = @_;
2387
2388 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2389 fh => $fh,
2390 peername => $host,
2391 tls => "connect",
2392 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2393 ...
2394
2395Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2396"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2397peername verification will be done.
2398
2399The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2400certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2401C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2402
2403 tls_ctx => {
2404 verify => 1,
2405 verify_peername => "https",
2406 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2407 },
2408
2409=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2410
2411Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2412three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2413self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2414there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2415nice program for that purpose).
2416
2417Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2418L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2419file should then look like this:
2420
2421 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2422 ...header data
2423 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2424 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2425
2426 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2427 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2428 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2429
2430The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2431specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2432
2433 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2434 my ($fh) = @_;
2435
2436 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2437 fh => $fh,
2438 tls => "accept",
2439 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2440 ...
2441
2442When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2443know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.
