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.

99 238
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>.
123
124=item on_read => $cb->($handle)
125
126This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
127and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
128callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
129read buffer).

133must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
134the beginning from it.
135
136When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
137feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
138calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
139error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).

160 263
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>.

186 300
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.

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.

414A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname

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

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

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.

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.

497This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the

663 1106
664This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_write>. 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:
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).

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).

1261This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>. 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).

1293These methods will have no effect when in TLS mode (as TLS doesn't support 1798In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1294half-duplex connections). 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.

1581 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:

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.

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>.
