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.

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>

267C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks

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.

1763
1764Checks the input stream for a valid SSL or TLS handshake TLSPaintext
1765record without consuming anything. Only SSL version 3 or higher
1766is handled, up to the fictituous protocol 4.x (but both SSL3+ and
1767SSL2-compatible framing is supported).
1768
1769If it detects that the input data is likely TLS, it calls the callback
1770with a true value for C<$detect> and the (on-wire) TLS version as second
1771and third argument (C<$major> is C<3>, and C<$minor> is 0..3 for SSL
17723.0, TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, respectively). If it detects the input to
1773be definitely not TLS, it calls the callback with a false value for
1774C<$detect>.
1775
1776The callback could use this information to decide whether or not to start
1777TLS negotiation.
1778
1779In all cases the data read so far is passed to the following read
1780handlers.
1781
1782Usually you want to use the C<tls_autostart> read type instead.
1783
1784If you want to design a protocol that works in the presence of TLS
1785dtection, make sure that any non-TLS data doesn't start with the octet 22
1786(ASCII SYN, 16 hex) or 128-255 (i.e. highest bit set). The checks this
1787read type does are a bit more strict, but might losen in the future to
1788accomodate protocol changes.
1789
1790This read type does not rely on L<AnyEvent::TLS> (and thus, not on
1791L<Net::SSLeay>).
1792
1793=item tls_autostart => $tls[, $tls_ctx]
1794
1795Tries to detect a valid SSL or TLS handshake. If one is detected, it tries
1796to start tls by calling C<starttls> with the given arguments.
1797
1798In practise, C<$tls> must be C<accept>, or a Net::SSLeay context that has
1799been configured to accept, as servers do not normally send a handshake on
1800their own and ths cannot be detected in this way.
1801

1362This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>. 1852Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1853of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1854find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1855progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1856function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).

1394These methods will have no effect when in TLS mode (as TLS doesn't support 1887In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1395half-duplex connections). 1888as TLS does not support half-duplex connections. In current versions they
1889work as expected, as this behaviour is required to avoid certain resource
1890attacks, where the program would be forced to read (and buffer) arbitrary
1891amounts of data before being able to send some data. The drawback is that
1892some readings of the the SSL/TLS specifications basically require this
1893attack to be working, as SSL/TLS implementations might stall sending data
1894during a rehandshake.
1895
1896As a guideline, during the initial handshake, you should not stop reading,
1897and as a client, it might cause problems, depending on your application.

1728 2307
2308=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2309
2310Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2311you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2312considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2313
2314To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2315is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You can set
2316an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2317queue.
2318
2319See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2320
2321=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2322
2323Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2324followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2325and handles them, in a loop.
2326
2327There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2328handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2329close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2330client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2331detect an unexpected detection close.
2332
2333To handle this case, always make sure you have a non-empty read queue, by
2334pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2335
2336 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2337 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2338 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2339
2340 ... handle request
2341
2342 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2343 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2344 });
2345
2346 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2347 # now push the first @start_request
2348 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2349
2350By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2351some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2352unexpectedly.
2353
2354The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2355at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2356sockets easier, and in general, it means you cannot distinguish a protocl
2357failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2358kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2359problem).
2360
2361Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2362C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2363connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2364
2365A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2366callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2367(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2368error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2369and simpler:
2370
2371 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2372 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2373 my ($hdl) = @_;
2374
2375 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2376 # simply start read the request
2377
2378 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2379 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2380
2381 ... handle request
2382
2383 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2384 # let the request queue go empty.
2385 });
2386 });
