33=head1 DESCRIPTION
34
35This is a helper module to make it easier to do event-based I/O on
36stream-based filehandles (sockets, pipes, and other stream things).
37
38The L<AnyEvent::Intro> tutorial contains some well-documented
39AnyEvent::Handle examples.
40
41In the following, where the documentation refers to "bytes", it means
42characters. As sysread and syswrite are used for all I/O, their
43treatment of characters applies to this module as well.
44
45At the very minimum, you should specify C<fh> or C<connect>, and the
46C<on_error> callback.
47
48All callbacks will be invoked with the handle object as their first
49argument.

82=head1 METHODS
83
84=over 4
85
86=item $handle = B<new> AnyEvent::Handle fh => $filehandle, key => value...
87
88The constructor supports these arguments (all as C<< key => value >> pairs).
89
90=over 4
91
92=item fh => $filehandle [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
93
94The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
95NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking mode (using
96C<AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking>) by the constructor and needs to stay in
97that mode.
98
99=item connect => [$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, $retry->())
129
130This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
131
132The peer's numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
133parameters, together with a retry callback.
134
135If, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, calling C<$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
211=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
212
213Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
214i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
215connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
216queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
217connection close and will be flagged as an error).
218
219For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
220you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
221callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
222down.
223
224If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
225set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
226
227=item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
228
229This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
230(or immediately if the buffer is empty already).
231
232To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
233
234This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
235into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
236of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
237memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
238the file when the write queue becomes empty.
239
240=item timeout => $fractional_seconds
241
242=item rtimeout => $fractional_seconds
243
244=item wtimeout => $fractional_seconds
245
246If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
247many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying
248file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the C<on_timeout> callback
249will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
250error will be raised).
251
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
255C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
256C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
257
258Note that timeout processing is active even when you do not have
259any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
260idle then you should disable the timeout temporarily or ignore the timeout
261in the C<on_timeout> callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply
262restart the timeout.
263
264Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
265
266=item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
267
268Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
269callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
270so this condition is not fatal in any way.
271
272=item rbuf_max => <bytes>
273
274If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
275when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
276avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
277
278For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
279be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
280(for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
281amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
282isn't finished).
283
284=item wbuf_max => <bytes>
285
286If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> 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.
298
299=item autocork => <boolean>
300
301When disabled (the default), C<push_write> will try to immediately
302write the data to the handle if possible. This avoids having to register
303a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
304be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
305disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
306C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
307
308When enabled, writes will always be queued till the next event loop
309iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
310but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
311the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
312
313=item no_delay => <boolean>
314
315When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
316wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
317the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
318
319In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
320accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
321
322The default is your operating system's default behaviour (most likely
323enabled). This option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
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.
356
357=item read_size => <bytes>
358
359The initial read block size, the number of bytes this module will try to
360read during each loop iteration. Each handle object will consume at least
361this amount of memory for the read buffer as well, so when handling many
362connections requirements). See also C<max_read_size>. Default: C<2048>.
363
364=item max_read_size => <bytes>
365
366The maximum read buffer size used by the dynamic adjustment
367algorithm: Each time AnyEvent::Handle can read C<read_size> bytes in
368one go it will double C<read_size> up to the maximum given by this
369option. Default: C<131072> or C<read_size>, whichever is higher.
370
371=item low_water_mark => <bytes>
372
373Sets the number of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
374buffer: If the buffer reaches this size or gets even samller it is
375considered empty.
376
377Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
378the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
379the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
380is good in almost all cases.
381
382=item linger => <seconds>
383
384If this is non-zero (default: C<3600>), the destructor of the
385AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
386write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
387socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
388system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
389
390This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
391yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
392help.
393
394=item peername => $string
395
396A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
397(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
398
399Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
400peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
401verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or is
402C<undef>.
403
404=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
405
406When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
407AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the connection has been
408established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
409
410All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
411appropriate error message.
412
413TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
414automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
415have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
416to add the dependency yourself.
417
418Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
419C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
420mode.
421
422You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
423to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
424or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
425AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
426object.
427
428At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
429implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
430away.
431
432B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
433passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
434happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
435segmentation fault.
436
437Use the C<< ->starttls >> method if you need to start TLS negotiation later.
438
439=item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
440
441Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
442(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this
443parameter is missing (or C<undef>), then AnyEvent::Handle will use
444C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
445
446Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
447=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
448new TLS context object.
449
450=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
451
452This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
453C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
454(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
455
456The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
457callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
458
459TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
460callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
461
462Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
463called as usual.
464
465Note that you cannot just call C<starttls> again in this callback. If you
466need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
467then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
468
469=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
470
471When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
472set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
473then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
474on the handle.
475
476The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
477callback.
478
479This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
480underlying handle signals EOF.
481
482=item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
483
484This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
485
486If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
487suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
488texts.
489
490Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
491use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

867=head2 WRITE QUEUE
868
869AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
870for reading.
871
872The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
873AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.
874
875When data could be written and the write buffer is shorter then the low
876water mark, the C<on_drain> callback will be invoked.
877

983Instead of formatting your data yourself, you can also let this module
984do the job by specifying a type and type-specific arguments. You
985can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in which
986case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
987C<anyevent_write_type> function inside (see "custom write types", below).
988

1003
1004 (length $string) . ":$string,"
1005};
1006
1007=item packstring => $format, $data
1008
1009An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
1010uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
1011integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
1012optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
1013
1014=cut
1015
1016register_write_type packstring => sub {
1017 my ($self, $format, $string) = @_;
1018
1019 pack "$format/a*", $string
1020};
1021
1022=item json => $array_or_hashref
1023
1024Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
1025provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
1026in UTF-8.
1027
1028JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
1029one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
1030additional framing.
1031
1032The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
1033this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
1034able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
1035
1036A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
1037JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
1038they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
1039JSON text:
1040
1041 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
1042 $handle->push_write ("\012");
1043
1044An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
1045rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
1046
1047 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
1048
1049Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
1050this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

1083
1084=item $handle->push_shutdown
1085
1086Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1087before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1088C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1089C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1090replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1091
1092 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 }
1093
1094This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1095the peer.
1096
1097You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1098afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1099
1100This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1101destroyed after it returns).
1102
1103=cut
1104
1105sub push_shutdown {
1106 my ($self) = @_;
1107
1108 delete $self->{low_water_mark};
1109 $self->on_drain (sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 });
1110}
1111
1112=item custom write types - Package::anyevent_write_type $handle, @args
1113
1114Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1115a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1116a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1117progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1118function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1119
1120Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will the function with
1121the handle object and the remaining arguments.
1122
1123The function is supposed to return a single octet string that will be
1124appended to the write buffer, so you cna mentally treat this function as a
1125"arguments to on-the-wire-format" converter.
1126
1127Example: implement a custom write type C<join> that joins the remaining
1128arguments using the first one.
1129
1130 $handle->push_write (My::Type => " ", 1,2,3);
1131
1132 # uses the following package, which can be defined in the "My::Type" or in
1133 # the "My" modules to be auto-loaded, or just about anywhere when the
1134 # My::Type::anyevent_write_type is defined before invoking it.

1155The read queue is more complex than the write queue. It can be used in two
1156ways, the "simple" way, using only C<on_read> and the "complex" way, using
1157a queue.
1158
1159In the simple case, you just install an C<on_read> callback and whenever
1160new data arrives, it will be called. You can then remove some data (if
1161enough is there) from the read buffer (C<< $handle->rbuf >>). Or you can
1162leave the data there if you want to accumulate more (e.g. when only a
1163partial message has been received so far), or change the read queue with
1164e.g. C<push_read>.
1165
1166In the more complex case, you want to queue multiple callbacks. In this
1167case, AnyEvent::Handle will call the first queued callback each time new
1168data arrives (also the first time it is queued) and remove it when it has
1169done its job (see C<push_read>, below).
1170
1171This way you can, for example, push three line-reads, followed by reading
1172a chunk of data, and AnyEvent::Handle will execute them in order.
1173
1174Example 1: EPP protocol parser. EPP sends 4 byte length info, followed by
1175the specified number of bytes which give an XML datagram.
1176
1177 # in the default state, expect some header bytes
1178 $handle->on_read (sub {
1179 # some data is here, now queue the length-header-read (4 octets)
1180 shift->unshift_read (chunk => 4, sub {
1181 # header arrived, decode
1182 my $len = unpack "N", $_[1];
1183
1184 # now read the payload
1185 shift->unshift_read (chunk => $len, sub {
1186 my $xml = $_[1];
1187 # handle xml
1188 });
1189 });
1190 });
1191
1192Example 2: Implement a client for a protocol that replies either with "OK"
1193and another line or "ERROR" for the first request that is sent, and 64
1194bytes for the second request. Due to the availability of a queue, we can
1195just pipeline sending both requests and manipulate the queue as necessary
1196in the callbacks.
1197
1198When the first callback is called and sees an "OK" response, it will
1199C<unshift> another line-read. This line-read will be queued I<before> the
120064-byte chunk callback.
1201
1202 # request one, returns either "OK + extra line" or "ERROR"
1203 $handle->push_write ("request 1\015\012");
1204
1205 # we expect "ERROR" or "OK" as response, so push a line read
1206 $handle->push_read (line => sub {
1207 # if we got an "OK", we have to _prepend_ another line,
1208 # so it will be read before the second request reads its 64 bytes
1209 # which are already in the queue when this callback is called
1210 # we don't do this in case we got an error
1211 if ($_[1] eq "OK") {
1212 $_[0]->unshift_read (line => sub {
1213 my $response = $_[1];
1214 ...
1215 });
38 } 1216 }
39 }); 1217 });
40 1218
41 # or use the constructor to pass the callback: 1219 # request two, simply returns 64 octets

60=head1 DESCRIPTION
61
62This module is a helper module to make it easier to do non-blocking I/O
63on filehandles (and sockets, see L<AnyEvent::Socket>).
64
65The event loop is provided by L<AnyEvent>.
66
67=head1 METHODS
68
69=over 4
70
71=item B<new (%args)>
72
73The constructor has these arguments:
74
75=over 4
76
77=item fh => $filehandle
78
79The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
80
81NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking.
82
83=item read_block_size => $size
84
85The default read block size use for reads via the C<on_read>
86method.
87
88=item on_read => $cb
89
90=item on_eof => $cb
91
92=item on_error => $cb
93
94These are shortcuts, that will call the corresponding method and set the callback to C<$cb>.
95
96=item on_readline => $cb
97
98The C<readlines> method is called with the default seperator and C<$cb> as callback
99for you.

134 1302
135This method returns the filehandle of the L<AnyEvent::Handle> object. 1303=item $handle->on_read ($cb)
136 1304
137=cut 1305This replaces the currently set C<on_read> callback, or clears it (when
1306the new callback is C<undef>). See the description of C<on_read> in the
1307constructor.
138 1308
139sub fh { $_[0]->{fh} } 1309This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
140 1310destroyed after it returns).
141=item B<on_read ($callback)>
142
143This method installs a C<$callback> that will be called
144when new data arrived. You can access the read buffer via the C<rbuf>
145method (see below).
146
147The first argument of the C<$callback> will be the L<AnyEvent::Handle> object.

154 1320
155 unless (defined $self->{on_read}) { 1321=item $handle->rbuf
156 delete $self->{on_read_w}; 1322
1323Returns the read buffer (as a modifiable lvalue). You can also access the
1324read buffer directly as the C<< ->{rbuf} >> member, if you want (this is
1325much faster, and no less clean).
1326
1327The only operation allowed on the read buffer (apart from looking at it)
1328is removing data from its beginning. Otherwise modifying or appending to
1329it is not allowed and will lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
1330
1331NOTE: The read buffer should only be used or modified in the C<on_read>
1332callback or when C<push_read> or C<unshift_read> are used with a single
1333callback (i.e. untyped). Typed C<push_read> and C<unshift_read> methods
1334will manage the read buffer on their own.

1340}
1341
1342=item $handle->push_read ($cb)
1343
1344=item $handle->unshift_read ($cb)
1345
1346Append the given callback to the end of the queue (C<push_read>) or
1347prepend it (C<unshift_read>).
1348
1349The callback is called each time some additional read data arrives.
1350
1351It must check whether enough data is in the read buffer already.
1352
1353If not enough data is available, it must return the empty list or a false
1354value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
1355available (or an error condition is detected).
1356
1357If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
1358interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
1359true, it will be removed from the queue.
1360
1361These methods may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1362destroyed after it returns).

1407
1408Instead of providing a callback that parses the data itself you can chose
1409between a number of predefined parsing formats, for chunks of data, lines
1410etc. You can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in
1411which case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
1412C<anyevent_read_type> function inside (see "custom read types", below).
1413
1414Predefined types are (if you have ideas for additional types, feel free to
1415drop by and tell us):
1416
1417=over 4
1418
1419=item chunk => $octets, $cb->($handle, $data)
1420
1421Invoke the callback only once C<$octets> bytes have been read. Pass the
1422data read to the callback. The callback will never be called with less
1423data.
1424
1425Example: read 2 bytes.
1426
1427 $handle->push_read (chunk => 2, sub {
1428 warn "yay ", unpack "H*", $_[1];
1429 });

1433register_read_type chunk => sub {

1438 $cb->($_[0], substr $_[0]{rbuf}, 0, $len, "");
1439 1
1440 }
1441};
1442
1443=item line => [$eol, ]$cb->($handle, $line, $eol)
1444
1445The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
1446line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
1447marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
1448the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
1449
1450The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
1451will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
1452object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
1453regular expression.
1454
1455The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
1456undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
1457protocols).
1458
1459Partial lines at the end of the stream will never be returned, as they are
1460not marked by the end of line marker.

1487
1488=item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1489
1490Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1491everything up to and including the match.
1492
1493Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1494
1495 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1496
1497If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1498to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1499does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1500useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1501receive buffer overflow).
1502
1503Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1504anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1505
1506 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1507
1508If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1509the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1510and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1511unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1512know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1513have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1514and is usually worth it only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1515
1516Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1517expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practice, but...), we use
1518a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1519it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1520required for the accept regex.

1522 $handle->push_read (regex =>
1523 qr<\015\012\015\012>,

1599optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
1600
1601For example, DNS over TCP uses a prefix of C<n> (2 octet network order),

1640=item json => $cb->($handle, $hash_or_arrayref)
1641
1642Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the
1643callback. When a parse error occurs, an C<EBADMSG> error will be raised.
1644
1645If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1646for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1647
1648This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
16492.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1650dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1651AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1652
1653Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1654types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See
1655the C<json> write type description, above, for an actual example.

1741=item custom read types - Package::anyevent_read_type $handle, $cb, @args
1742
1743Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1744of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1745find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1746progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1747function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1748
1749Whenever this type is used, C<push_read> will invoke the function with the
1750handle object, the original callback and the remaining arguments.
1751
1752The function is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure) that
1753works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>), so you can
1754mentally treat the function as a "configurable read type to read callback"
1755converter.
1756
1757It should invoke the original callback when it is done reading (remember
1758to pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that,
1759although there is no strict requirement on this).
1760
1761For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m
1762AnyEvent::Handle>, search for C<register_read_type>)).
1763
1764=item $handle->stop_read
1765
1766=item $handle->start_read
1767
1768In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1769socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1770any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1771C<start_read>.
1772
1773Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1774you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1775will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1776there are any read requests in the queue.
1777
1778In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1779as TLS does not support half-duplex connections. In current versions they
1780work as expected, as this behaviour is required to avoid certain resource
1781attacks, where the program would be forced to read (and buffer) arbitrary
1782amounts of data before being able to send some data. The drawback is that
1783some readings of the the SSL/TLS specifications basically require this
1784attack to be working, as SSL/TLS implementations might stall sending data
1785during a rehandshake.
1786
1787As a guideline, during the initial handshake, you should not stop reading,
1788and as a client, it might cause problems, depending on your applciation.

1919
1920Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
1921object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
1922C<starttls>.
1923
1924Starting TLS is currently an asynchronous operation - when you push some
1925write data and then call C<< ->starttls >> then TLS negotiation will start
1926immediately, after which the queued write data is then sent.
1927
1928The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
1929C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
1930
1931The second argument is the optional C<AnyEvent::TLS> object that is used
1932when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object, or
1933a hash reference with C<< key => value >> pairs that will be used to
1934construct a new context.
1935
1936The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>, the TLS
1937context in C<< $handle->{tls_ctx} >> after this call and can be used or
1938changed to your liking. Note that the handshake might have already started
1939when this function returns.
1940
1941Due to bugs in OpenSSL, it might or might not be possible to do multiple
1942handshakes on the same stream. It is best to not attempt to use the
1943stream after stopping TLS.
1944

2020Shuts down the SSL connection - this makes a proper EOF handshake by

2022support non-blocking shut downs, it is not guaranteed that you can re-use
2023the stream afterwards.
2024
2025This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be

2083=item $handle->destroy
2084
2085Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
2086no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
2087will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
2088destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
2089empty list).
2090
2091Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
2092object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
2093callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
2094callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2095within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2096that case.
2097
2098Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2099will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2100is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2101reference cycles.
2102
2103The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2104data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2120=item $handle->destroyed
2121
2122Returns false as long as the handle hasn't been destroyed by a call to C<<
2123->destroy >>, true otherwise.
2124
2125Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2126callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2127C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2128can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:
2129
2130 $hdl->starttls ("accept");
2131 return if $hdl->destroyed;
2132 $hdl->push_write (...
2133
2134Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle
2135has been destroyed, so often you can just ignore the possibility of the
2136handle being destroyed.

2165=head1 NONFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
2166
2167=over 4
2168
2169=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
2170still get further invocations!
2171
2172That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2173read or write callbacks.
2174
2175It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2176from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2177->destroy >> method.
2178
2179=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2180
2181Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2182you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2183considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2184
2185To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2186is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You cna set
2187an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2188queue.
2189
2190See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2191
2192=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2193
2194Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2195followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2196and handles them, in a loop.
2197
2198There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2199handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2200close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2201client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2202detect an unexpected detection close.
2203
2204To handle this case, always make sure you have a on-empty read queue, by
2205pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2206
2207 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2208 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2209 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2210
2211 ... handle request
2212
2213 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2214 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2215 });
2216
2217 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2218 # now push the first @start_request
2219 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2220
2221By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2222some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2223unexpectedly.
2224
2225The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2226at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2227sockets easier, and in general, it means you cnanot distinguish a protocl
2228failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2229kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2230problem).
2231
2232Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2233C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2234connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2235
2236A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2237callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2238(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2239error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2240and simpler:
2241
2242 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2243 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2244 my ($hdl) = @_;
2245
2246 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2247 # simply start read the request
2248
2249 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2250 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2251
2252 ... handle request
2253
2254 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2255 # let the request queue go empty.
363 }); 2256 });
364} 2257 });
2258
2259=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2260reading?
2261
2262Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2263communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently, the
2264read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2265write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2266
2267This means that, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2268callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2269is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2270
2271During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2272non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2273connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2274C<destroy> method.
2275
2276=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2277
2278If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2279to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2280clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2281will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2282
2283 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2284 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2285 $handle->on_error (sub {
2286 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2287 });
2288
2289The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2290and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2291fact all data has been received.
2292
2293It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2294to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2295intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2296explicit QUIT command.
2297
2298=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2299all data has been written?
2300
2301After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2302and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2303C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2304written to the socket:
2305
2306 $handle->push_write (...);
2307 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2308 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
2309 undef $handle;
2310 });
2311
2312If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2313consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2314
2315=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2316
2317If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2318connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2319parameter:
2320
2321 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2322 my ($fh) = @_;
2323
2324 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2325 fh => $fh,
2326 tls => "connect",
2327 on_error => sub { ... };
2328
2329 $handle->push_write (...);
2330 };
2331
2332=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2333
2334Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2335peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2336L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2337
2338E.g. for HTTPS:
2339
2340 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2341 my ($fh) = @_;
2342
2343 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2344 fh => $fh,
2345 peername => $host,
2346 tls => "connect",
2347 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2348 ...
2349
2350Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2351"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2352peername verification will be done.
2353
2354The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2355certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2356C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2357
2358 tls_ctx => {
2359 verify => 1,
2360 verify_peername => "https",
2361 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2362 },
2363
2364=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2365
2366Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2367three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2368self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2369there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2370nice program for that purpose).
2371
2372Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2373L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2374file should then look like this:
2375
2376 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2377 ...header data
2378 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2379 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2380
2381 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2382 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2383 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2384
2385The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2386specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2387
2388 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2389 my ($fh) = @_;
2390
2391 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2392 fh => $fh,
2393 tls => "accept",
2394 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2395 ...
2396
2397When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2398know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.

2403=head1 SUBCLASSING AnyEvent::Handle
2404
2405In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
2406
2407To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
2408conventions:
2409
2410=over 4
2411
2412=item * all constructor arguments become object members.
2413
2414At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
2415will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
2416mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
2417
2418=item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
2419
2420All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
2421with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
2422for use for subclasses.
2423
2424=item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
2425are free to use in subclasses.
2426
2427Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
2428member variables, but that's just life. At least it is documented.
