 waiting for data.
 If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
 set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
-=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal)
+=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
 This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
 occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
 connect or a read error.
 fatal errors the handle object will be shut down and will not be usable
 (but you are free to look at the current C<< ->rbuf >>). Examples of fatal
 errors are an EOF condition with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers
 (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors.
+AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
+against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
+recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
+error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
 Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended
 to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
 when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
 C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
 On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system
-error (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT> or C<EBADMSG>).
+error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
+C<EPROTO>).
 While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
 you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls
 C<croak>.
 and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
 callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
 read buffer).
 To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
-method or access the C<$handle->{rbuf}> member directly.
+method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
+must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
+the beginning from it.
 When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
 feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
 calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
 error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
 This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
 yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
 help.
+=item peername => $string
+A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
+(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
+Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
+peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
+verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or
+C<undef>.
 =item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
 When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
 AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the conenction has been
 established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
+All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
+appropriate error message.
 TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
 automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
 have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
 to add the dependency yourself.
 mode.
 You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
 to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
 or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
-AnyEvent::Handle.
+AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
+object.
+At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
+implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
+away.
+B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
+passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
+happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
+segmentation fault.
 See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.
-=item tls_ctx => $ssl_ctx
+=item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
-Use the given C<Net::SSLeay::CTX> object to create the new TLS connection
+Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
 (unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
 missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
+Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
+=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
+new TLS context object.
+=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
+This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
+C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
+(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
+The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
+callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
+TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
+callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
+Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
+called, as normal.
+Note that you cannot call C<starttls> right again in this callback. If you
+need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
+then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
+=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
+When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
+set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
+then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
+on the handle.
+The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
+callback.
+This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
+underlying handle signals EOF.

 object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
 callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
 callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from

+=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
+If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
+simply connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
+parameter:
+   tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
+      my ($fh) = @_;
+      my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
+         fh  => $fh,
+         tls => "connect",
+         on_error => sub { ... };
+      $handle->push_write (...);
+   };
+=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
+Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
+peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
+L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
+E.g. for HTTPS:
+   tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
+      my ($fh) = @_;
+       my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
+          fh       => $fh,
+          peername => $host,
+          tls      => "connect",
+          tls_ctx  => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
+          ...
+Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
+"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
+peername verification will be done.
+The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
+certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
+C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
+       tls_ctx  => {
+          verify          => 1,
+          verify_peername => "https",
+          ca_file         => "my-ca-cert.pem",
+       },
+=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
+Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
+three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
+self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
+there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
+nice program for that purpose).
+Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
+L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
+file should then look like this:
+   -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
+   ...header data
+   ... lots of base64'y-stuff
+   -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
+   -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
+   ... lots of base64'y-stuff
+   -----END CERTIFICATE-----
+The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts.  Then
+specify this file as C<cert_file>:
+   tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
+      my ($fh) = @_;
+      my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
+         fh       => $fh,
+         tls      => "accept",
+         tls_ctx  => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
+         ...
+When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
+know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.
