 Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:

 is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,

 before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
 C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
 C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
 replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
-   sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 }    # for push_shutdown
+   sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 }
 This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
 the peer.
 You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
 afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.

 This function creates and returns the AnyEvent::TLS object used by default
 for TLS mode.
 It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
 from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
 ->destroy >> method.
+=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
+Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
+you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
+considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
+To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
+is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You can set
+an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
+queue.
+See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
+=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
+Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
+followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
+and handles them, in a loop.
+There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
+handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
+close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
+client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
+detect an unexpected detection close.
+To handle this case, always make sure you have a non-empty read queue, by
+pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
+   # we assume a request starts with a single line
+   my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
+      my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
+      ... handle request
+      # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
+      $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
+   });
+   # auth done, now go into request handling loop
+   # now push the first @start_request
+   $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
+By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
+some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
+unexpectedly.
+The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
+at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
+sockets easier, and in general, it means you cannot distinguish a protocl
+failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
+kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
+problem).
+Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
+C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
+connection during a request, which would still be an error.
+A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
+callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
+(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
+error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
+and simpler:
+   # auth done, now go into request handling loop
+   $hdl->on_read (sub {
+      my ($hdl) = @_;
+      # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
+      # simply start read the request
+      $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
+         my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
+         ... handle request
+         # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
+         # let the request queue go empty.
+      });
+   });
 =item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
 reading?
 Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
-communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
+communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently, the
 read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
 write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
-This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
+This means that, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
 callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
 is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
 During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
 non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
    $handle->on_eof (undef);
    $handle->on_error (sub {
       my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
    });
+Note that this example removes the C<rbuf> member from the handle object,
+which is not normally allowed by the API. It is expressly permitted in
+this case only, as the handle object needs to be destroyed afterwards.
 The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
 and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
-fact, all data has been received.
+fact all data has been received.
 It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
 to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
 intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
 explicit QUIT command.
 C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
 written to the socket:

-      warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
+      AE::log debug => "All data submitted to the kernel.";
       undef $handle;
    });
 If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
 consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
