280At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS

284B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
285passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often

686Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
687before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
688C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket. This method
689is a shorthand for just that, and replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
690
691 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 } # for push_shutdown
692
693This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
694the peer.
695
696You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
697afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.

1578
1579Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1580no further callbacks will be invoked and resources will be freed as much
1581as possible. You must not call any methods on the object afterwards.
1582
1583Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1584object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1585callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1586callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1587within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1588that case.
1589
1590The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
1591data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

1627
1628=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
1629still get further invocations!
1630
1631That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
1632read or write callbacks.
1633
1634It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
1635from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
1636->destroy >> method.
1637
1638=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
1639reading?
1640
1641Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
1642communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
1643read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
1644write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
1645
1646This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
1647callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
1648is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
1649
1650During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
1651non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
1652connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
1653C<destroy> method.
1654
1655=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
1656
1657If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
1658to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
1659clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
1660will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
1661
1662 $handle->on_read (sub { });
1663 $handle->on_eof (undef);
1664 $handle->on_error (sub {
1665 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
1666 undef $handle;
1667 });
1668
1669The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
1670and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
1671fact, all data has been received.
1672
1673It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
1674to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
1675intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
1676explicit QUIT command.
1677
1678=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
1679all data has been written?
1680
1681After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
1682and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
1683C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
1684written to the socket:
1685
1686 $handle->push_write (...);
1687 $handle->on_drain (sub {
1688 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
1689 undef $handle;
1690 });
