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, $retry->())
129
130This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
131
132The peer's numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
133parameters, together with a retry callback.
134
135If, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, calling C<$retry>
136will continue with the next connection target (in case of multi-homed
137hosts or SRV records there can be multiple connection endpoints). At the
138time it is called the read and write queues, eof status, tls status and
139similar properties of the handle will have been reset.
140
141In most cases, you should ignore the C<$retry> parameter.
142
143=item on_connect_error => $cb->($handle, $message)
144
145This callback is called when the connection could not be
146established. C<$!> will contain the relevant error code, and C<$message> a
147message describing it (usually the same as C<"$!">).
148
149If this callback isn't specified, then C<on_error> will be called with a
150fatal error instead.
151
152=back
153
154=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
155
156This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
157occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
158connect, or a read error.
159
160Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
161fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->
162destroy >>) after invoking the error callback (which means you are free to
163examine the handle object). Examples of fatal errors are an EOF condition
164with active (but unsatisfiable) read watchers (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors. In
165cases where the other side can close the connection at will, it is
166often easiest to not report C<EPIPE> errors in this callback.
167
168AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
169against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
170recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
171error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
172
173Non-fatal errors can be retried by returning, but it is recommended
174to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
175when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
176C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
177
178On entry to the callback, the value of C<$!> contains the operating
179system error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
180C<EPROTO>).
181
182While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
183you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default just calls
184C<croak>.
185
186=item on_read => $cb->($handle)
187
188This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
189and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
190callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
191read buffer).
192
193To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
194method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
195must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
196the beginning from it.
197
198You can also call C<< ->push_read (...) >> or any other function that
199modifies the read queue. Or do both. Or ...
200
201When an EOF condition is detected, AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
202feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
203calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
204error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
205
206Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
207doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
208are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
209C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
210

216queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
217connection close and will be flagged as an error).

92 223
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, $message)
101
102This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
103occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
104connect or a read error.
105
106Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$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
112AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check

120C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
121
122On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system
123error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
124C<EPROTO>).
125
126While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
127you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls
128C<croak>.

252There are three variants of the timeouts that work independently
253of each other, for both read and write, just read, and just write:
254C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks

192 283
284=item wbuf_max => <bytes>
285
286If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
287when the write buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
288avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
289
290Although the units of this parameter is bytes, this is the I<raw> number
291of bytes not yet accepted by the kernel. This can make a difference when
292you e.g. use TLS, as TLS typically makes your write data larger (but it
293can also make it smaller due to compression).
294
295As an example of when this limit is useful, take a chat server that sends
296chat messages to a client. If the client does not read those in a timely
297manner then the send buffer in the server would grow unbounded.

324
325=item keepalive => <boolean>
326
327Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
328normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
329connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
330side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
331TCP connections when the other side becomes unreachable. While the default
332is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
333and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
334to 15 minutes later.
335
336It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
337keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
338is usually a good idea.
339
340=item oobinline => <boolean>
341
342BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
343is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
344implements it slightly differently.
345
346If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
347is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
348putting it into the stream.
349
350Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
351security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
352unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
353establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
354already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
355from most attacks.

1304This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>. 1745Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name

1747find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1748progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1749function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).

2117
2118Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2119callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2120C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2121can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:

2126
2127Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle

1637 2171
2172=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2173
2174Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2175you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2176considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2177
2178To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2179is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You cna set
2180an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2181queue.
2182
2183See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2184
2185=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2186
2187Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2188followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2189and handles them, in a loop.
2190
2191There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2192handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2193close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2194client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2195detect an unexpected detection close.
2196
2197To handle this case, always make sure you have a on-empty read queue, by
2198pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2199
2200 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2201 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2202 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2203
2204 ... handle request
2205
2206 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2207 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2208 });
2209
2210 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2211 # now push the first @start_request
2212 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2213
2214By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2215some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2216unexpectedly.
2217
2218The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2219at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2220sockets easier, and in general, it means you cnanot distinguish a protocl
2221failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2222kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2223problem).
2224
2225Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2226C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2227connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2228
2229A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2230callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2231(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2232error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2233and simpler:
2234
2235 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2236 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2237 my ($hdl) = @_;
2238
2239 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2240 # simply start read the request
2241
2242 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2243 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2244
2245 ... handle request
2246
2247 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2248 # let the request queue go empty.
2249 });
2250 });

2308=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2309
2310If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2311connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2312parameter:
2313
2314 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2315 my ($fh) = @_;
2316
2317 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2318 fh => $fh,
2319 tls => "connect",
2320 on_error => sub { ... };
2321
2322 $handle->push_write (...);
2323 };
2324
2325=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2326
2327Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2328peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2329L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2330
2331E.g. for HTTPS:
2332
2333 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2334 my ($fh) = @_;
2335
2336 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2337 fh => $fh,
2338 peername => $host,
2339 tls => "connect",
2340 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2341 ...
2342
2343Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2344"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2345peername verification will be done.
2346
2347The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2348certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2349C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2350
2351 tls_ctx => {
2352 verify => 1,
2353 verify_peername => "https",
2354 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2355 },
2356
2357=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2358
2359Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2360three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2361self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2362there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2363nice program for that purpose).
2364
2365Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2366L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2367file should then look like this:
2368
2369 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2370 ...header data
2371 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2372 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2373
2374 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2375 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2376 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2377
2378The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2379specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2380
2381 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2382 my ($fh) = @_;
2383
2384 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2385 fh => $fh,
2386 tls => "accept",
2387 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2388 ...
2389
2390When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2391know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.
