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, $retry->())
129
130This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
131
132The peer's numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
133parameters, together with a retry callback. At the time it is called the
134read and write queues, EOF status, TLS status and similar properties of
135the handle will have been reset.
136
137It is not allowed to use the read or write queues while the handle object
138is connecting.
139
140If, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, calling C<$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.
222
223=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
224
225Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
226i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
227connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
228queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
229connection close and will be flagged as an error).
230
231For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
232you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
233callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
234down.
235
236If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
237set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
238
239=item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
240
241This sets the callback that is called once when the write buffer becomes
242empty (and immediately when the handle object is created).
243
244To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
245
246This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
247into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
248of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
249memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
250the file when the write queue becomes empty.
251
252=item timeout => $fractional_seconds
253
254=item rtimeout => $fractional_seconds
255
256=item wtimeout => $fractional_seconds
257
258If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
259many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying
260file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the C<on_timeout> callback
261will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
262error will be raised).
263
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>
266written), just read (triggered when nothing was read), and just write:
267C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
268C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
269C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
270
271Note that timeout processing is active even when you do not have any
272outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
273idle then you should disable the timeout temporarily or ignore the
274timeout in the corresponding C<on_timeout> callback, in which case
275AnyEvent::Handle will simply restart the timeout.
276
277Zero (the default) disables the corresponding timeout.
278
279=item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
280
281=item on_rtimeout => $cb->($handle)
282
283=item on_wtimeout => $cb->($handle)
284
285Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
286callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
287so this condition is not fatal in any way.
288
289=item rbuf_max => <bytes>
290
291If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
292when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
293avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
294
295For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
296be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
297(for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
298amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
299isn't finished).
300
301=item wbuf_max => <bytes>
302
303If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> 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.
315
316=item autocork => <boolean>
317
318When disabled (the default), C<push_write> will try to immediately
319write the data to the handle if possible. This avoids having to register
320a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
321be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
322disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
323C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
324
325When enabled, writes will always be queued till the next event loop
326iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
327but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
328the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
329
330=item no_delay => <boolean>
331
332When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
333wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
334the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
335
336In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
337accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
338
339The default is your operating system's default behaviour (most likely
340enabled). This option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
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.
373
374=item read_size => <bytes>
375
376The initial read block size, the number of bytes this module will try
377to read during each loop iteration. Each handle object will consume
378at least this amount of memory for the read buffer as well, so when
379handling many connections watch out for memory requirements). See also
380C<max_read_size>. Default: C<2048>.
381
382=item max_read_size => <bytes>
383
384The maximum read buffer size used by the dynamic adjustment
385algorithm: Each time AnyEvent::Handle can read C<read_size> bytes in
386one go it will double C<read_size> up to the maximum given by this
387option. Default: C<131072> or C<read_size>, whichever is higher.
388
389=item low_water_mark => <bytes>
390
391Sets the number of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
392buffer: If the buffer reaches this size or gets even samller it is
393considered empty.
394
395Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
396the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
397the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
398is good in almost all cases.
399
400=item linger => <seconds>
401
402If this is non-zero (default: C<3600>), the destructor of the
403AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
404write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
405socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
406system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
407
408This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
409yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
410help.
411
412=item peername => $string
413
414A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
415(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
416
417Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
418peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
419verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or is
420C<undef>.
421
422=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
423
424When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
425AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the connection has been
426established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
427
428All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
429appropriate error message.
430
431TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
432automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
433have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
434to add the dependency yourself. If Net::SSLeay cannot be loaded or is too
435old, you get an C<EPROTO> error.
436
437Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
438C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
439mode.
440
441You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
442to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
443or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
444AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
445object.
446
447At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
448implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
449away.
450
451B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
452passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
453happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
454segmentation fault.
455
456Use the C<< ->starttls >> method if you need to start TLS negotiation later.
457
458=item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
459
460Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
461(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this
462parameter is missing (or C<undef>), then AnyEvent::Handle will use
463C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
464
465Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
466=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
467new TLS context object.
468
469=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
470
471This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
472C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
473(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
474
475The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
476callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
477
478TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
479callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
480
481Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
482called as usual.
483
484Note that you cannot just call C<starttls> again in this callback. If you
485need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
486then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
487
488=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
489
490When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
491set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
492then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
493on the handle.
494
495The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
496callback.
497
498This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
499underlying handle signals EOF.
500
501=item json => L<JSON>, L<JSON::PP> or L<JSON::XS> object
502
503This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
504
505If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
506suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded
507JSON texts (either using L<JSON::XS> or L<JSON>). The written texts are
508guaranteed not to contain any newline character.
509
510For security reasons, this encoder will likely I<not> handle numbers and
511strings, only arrays and objects/hashes. The reason is that originally
512JSON was self-delimited, but Dougles Crockford thought it was a splendid
513idea to redefine JSON incompatibly, so this is no longer true.
514
515For protocols that used back-to-back JSON texts, this might lead to
516run-ins, where two or more JSON texts will be interpreted as one JSON
517text.
518
519For this reason, if the default encoder uses L<JSON::XS>, it will default
520to not allowing anything but arrays and objects/hashes, at least for the
521forseeable future (it will change at some point). This might or might not
522be true for the L<JSON> module, so this might cause a security issue.
523
524If you depend on either behaviour, you should create your own json object
525and pass it in explicitly.
526
527=item cbor => L<CBOR::XS> object
528
529This is the cbor coder object used by the C<cbor> read and write types.
530
531If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
532suitable one (on demand), which will write CBOR without using extensions,
533if possible.
534
535Note that you are responsible to depend on the L<CBOR::XS> module if you
536want to use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency on
537it itself.

917
918AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
919for reading.
920
921The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
922AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.
923
924When data could be written and the write buffer is shorter then the low
925water mark, the C<on_drain> callback will be invoked once.

1031
1032Instead of formatting your data yourself, you can also let this module
1033do the job by specifying a type and type-specific arguments. You
1034can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in which
1035case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
1036C<anyevent_write_type> function inside (see "custom write types", below).
1037
1038Predefined types are (if you have ideas for additional types, feel free to
1039drop by and tell us):

1042
1043=item netstring => $string
1044

1046(http://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt, this is not a recommendation to use them).

1052
1053 (length $string) . ":$string,"
1054};
1055
1056=item packstring => $format, $data
1057
1058An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
1059uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
1060integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
1061optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
1062

1064
1065register_write_type packstring => sub {
1066 my ($self, $format, $string) = @_;
1067
1068 pack "$format/a*", $string
1069};
1070
1071=item json => $array_or_hashref
1072
1073Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
1074provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
1075in UTF-8.
1076
1077The default encoder might or might not handle every type of JSON value -
1078it might be limited to arrays and objects for security reasons. See the
1079C<json> constructor attribute for more details.
1080
1081JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so if you only use arrays
1082and hashes, you can write JSON at one end of a handle and read them at the
1083other end without using any additional framing.
1084
1085The JSON text generated by the default encoder is guaranteed not to
1086contain any newlines: While this module doesn't need delimiters after or
1087between JSON texts to be able to read them, many other languages depend on
1088them.
1089
1090A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with other languages is
1091to send JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better
1092choice as they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline
1093after each JSON text:
1094
1095 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
1096 $handle->push_write ("\012");
1097
1098An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
1099rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
1100
1101 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
1102
1103Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
1104this line into their JSON decoder of choice.
1105
1106=item cbor => $perl_scalar
1107
1108Encodes the given scalar into a CBOR value. Unless you provide your own
1109L<CBOR::XS> object, this means it will be encoded to a CBOR string not
1110using any extensions, if possible.
1111
1112CBOR values are self-delimiting, so you can write CBOR at one end of
1113a handle and read them at the other end without using any additional
1114framing.
1115
1116A simple nd very very fast RPC protocol that interoperates with
1117other languages is to send CBOR and receive CBOR values (arrays are
1118recommended):
1119
1120 $handle->push_write (cbor => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
1121
1122An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<cbor> read type:

1169=item $handle->push_shutdown
1170
1171Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1172before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1173C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1174C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1175replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1176
1177 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 }
1178
1179This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1180the peer.
1181
1182You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1183afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1184
1185This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1186destroyed after it returns).
1187
1188=cut
1189
1190sub push_shutdown {
1191 my ($self) = @_;
1192
1193 delete $self->{low_water_mark};
1194 $self->on_drain (sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 });
1195}
1196
1197=item custom write types - Package::anyevent_write_type $handle, @args
1198
1199Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1200a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1201a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1202progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1203function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1204
1205Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will the function with
1206the handle object and the remaining arguments.
1207
1208The function is supposed to return a single octet string that will be
1209appended to the write buffer, so you can mentally treat this function as a
1210"arguments to on-the-wire-format" converter.
1211
1212Example: implement a custom write type C<join> that joins the remaining
1213arguments using the first one.
1214
1215 $handle->push_write (My::Type => " ", 1,2,3);
1216
1217 # uses the following package, which can be defined in the "My::Type" or in
1218 # the "My" modules to be auto-loaded, or just about anywhere when the
1219 # My::Type::anyevent_write_type is defined before invoking it.
1220

1235=head2 READ QUEUE
1236
1237AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
1238for reading.
1239
1240The read queue is more complex than the write queue. It can be used in two
1241ways, the "simple" way, using only C<on_read> and the "complex" way, using
1242a queue.
1243
1244In the simple case, you just install an C<on_read> callback and whenever
1245new data arrives, it will be called. You can then remove some data (if
1246enough is there) from the read buffer (C<< $handle->rbuf >>). Or you can
1247leave the data there if you want to accumulate more (e.g. when only a
1248partial message has been received so far), or change the read queue with
1249e.g. C<push_read>.
1250
1251In the more complex case, you want to queue multiple callbacks. In this
1252case, AnyEvent::Handle will call the first queued callback each time new
1253data arrives (also the first time it is queued) and remove it when it has
1254done its job (see C<push_read>, below).
1255
1256This way you can, for example, push three line-reads, followed by reading
1257a chunk of data, and AnyEvent::Handle will execute them in order.
1258
1259Example 1: EPP protocol parser. EPP sends 4 byte length info, followed by
1260the specified number of bytes which give an XML datagram.
1261
1262 # in the default state, expect some header bytes
1263 $handle->on_read (sub {
1264 # some data is here, now queue the length-header-read (4 octets)
1265 shift->unshift_read (chunk => 4, sub {
1266 # header arrived, decode
1267 my $len = unpack "N", $_[1];
1268
1269 # now read the payload
1270 shift->unshift_read (chunk => $len, sub {
1271 my $xml = $_[1];
1272 # handle xml
1273 });
1274 });
1275 });
1276
1277Example 2: Implement a client for a protocol that replies either with "OK"
1278and another line or "ERROR" for the first request that is sent, and 64
1279bytes for the second request. Due to the availability of a queue, we can
1280just pipeline sending both requests and manipulate the queue as necessary
1281in the callbacks.
1282
1283When the first callback is called and sees an "OK" response, it will
1284C<unshift> another line-read. This line-read will be queued I<before> the
128564-byte chunk callback.
1286
1287 # request one, returns either "OK + extra line" or "ERROR"
1288 $handle->push_write ("request 1\015\012");
1289
1290 # we expect "ERROR" or "OK" as response, so push a line read
1291 $handle->push_read (line => sub {
1292 # if we got an "OK", we have to _prepend_ another line,
1293 # so it will be read before the second request reads its 64 bytes
1294 # which are already in the queue when this callback is called
1295 # we don't do this in case we got an error
1296 if ($_[1] eq "OK") {
1297 $_[0]->unshift_read (line => sub {
1298 my $response = $_[1];
1299 ...
1300 });
38 } 1301 }
39 }); 1302 });
40 1303

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 => $cb
97
98The C<readlines> method is called with the default separated and C<$cb> as callback
99for you.

135This method returns the filehandle of the L<AnyEvent::Handle> object. 1388=item $handle->on_read ($cb)
136 1389
137=cut 1390This replaces the currently set C<on_read> callback, or clears it (when
1391the new callback is C<undef>). See the description of C<on_read> in the
1392constructor.
138 1393
139sub fh { $_[0]->{fh} } 1394This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
140 1395destroyed after it returns).
141=item B<on_read ($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 1405
155 unless (defined $self->{on_read}) { 1406=item $handle->rbuf
156 delete $self->{on_read_w}; 1407
1408Returns the read buffer (as a modifiable lvalue). You can also access the
1409read buffer directly as the C<< ->{rbuf} >> member, if you want (this is
1410much faster, and no less clean).
1411
1412The only operation allowed on the read buffer (apart from looking at it)
1413is removing data from its beginning. Otherwise modifying or appending to
1414it is not allowed and will lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
1415
1416NOTE: The read buffer should only be used or modified in the C<on_read>
1417callback or when C<push_read> or C<unshift_read> are used with a single
1418callback (i.e. untyped). Typed C<push_read> and C<unshift_read> methods
1419will manage the read buffer on their own.

1425}
1426
1427=item $handle->push_read ($cb)
1428
1429=item $handle->unshift_read ($cb)
1430
1431Append the given callback to the end of the queue (C<push_read>) or
1432prepend it (C<unshift_read>).
1433
1434The callback is called each time some additional read data arrives.
1435
1436It must check whether enough data is in the read buffer already.
1437
1438If not enough data is available, it must return the empty list or a false
1439value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
1440available (or an error condition is detected).
1441
1442If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
1443interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
1444true, it will be removed from the queue.
1445
1446These methods may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1447destroyed after it returns).

1492
1493Instead of providing a callback that parses the data itself you can chose
1494between a number of predefined parsing formats, for chunks of data, lines
1495etc. You can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in
1496which case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
1497C<anyevent_read_type> function inside (see "custom read types", below).
1498
1499Predefined types are (if you have ideas for additional types, feel free to
1500drop by and tell us):
1501
1502=over 4
1503
1504=item chunk => $octets, $cb->($handle, $data)
1505
1506Invoke the callback only once C<$octets> bytes have been read. Pass the
1507data read to the callback. The callback will never be called with less
1508data.
1509
1510Example: read 2 bytes.
1511
1512 $handle->push_read (chunk => 2, sub {
1513 say "yay " . unpack "H*", $_[1];
1514 });

1523 $cb->($_[0], substr $_[0]{rbuf}, 0, $len, "");
1524 1
1525 }
1526};
1527
1528=item line => [$eol, ]$cb->($handle, $line, $eol)
1529
1530The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
1531line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
1532marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
1533the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
1534
1535The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
1536will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
1537object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
1538regular expression.
1539
1540The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
1541undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
1542protocols).
1543
1544Partial lines at the end of the stream will never be returned, as they are
1545not marked by the end of line marker.

1574
1575=item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1576
1577Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1578everything up to and including the match.
1579
1580Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1581
1582 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1583
1584If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1585to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1586does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1587useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1588receive buffer overflow).
1589
1590Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1591anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1592
1593 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1594
1595If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1596the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1597and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1598unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1599know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1600have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1601and is usually worth it only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1602
1603Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1604expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practice, but...), we use
1605a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1606it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1607required for the accept regex.

1684uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single

1686optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
1687
1688For example, DNS over TCP uses a prefix of C<n> (2 octet network order),
1689EPP uses a prefix of C<N> (4 octtes).

1729Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the

1731
1732If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be

1784If a L<CBOR::XS> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be

1870
1871Checks the input stream for a valid SSL or TLS handshake TLSPaintext
1872record without consuming anything. Only SSL version 3 or higher
1873is handled, up to the fictituous protocol 4.x (but both SSL3+ and
1874SSL2-compatible framing is supported).
1875
1876If it detects that the input data is likely TLS, it calls the callback
1877with a true value for C<$detect> and the (on-wire) TLS version as second
1878and third argument (C<$major> is C<3>, and C<$minor> is 0..3 for SSL
18793.0, TLS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, respectively). If it detects the input to
1880be definitely not TLS, it calls the callback with a false value for
1881C<$detect>.
1882
1883The callback could use this information to decide whether or not to start
1884TLS negotiation.
1885
1886In all cases the data read so far is passed to the following read
1887handlers.
1888
1889Usually you want to use the C<tls_autostart> read type instead.
1890
1891If you want to design a protocol that works in the presence of TLS
1892dtection, make sure that any non-TLS data doesn't start with the octet 22
1893(ASCII SYN, 16 hex) or 128-255 (i.e. highest bit set). The checks this
1894read type does are a bit more strict, but might losen in the future to
1895accomodate protocol changes.
1896
1897This read type does not rely on L<AnyEvent::TLS> (and thus, not on
1898L<Net::SSLeay>).
1899
1900=item tls_autostart => $tls[, $tls_ctx]
1901
1902Tries to detect a valid SSL or TLS handshake. If one is detected, it tries
1903to start tls by calling C<starttls> with the given arguments.
1904
1905In practise, C<$tls> must be C<accept>, or a Net::SSLeay context that has
1906been configured to accept, as servers do not normally send a handshake on
1907their own and ths cannot be detected in this way.
1908
1909See C<tls_detect> above for more details.

164 my $l; 1958
1959Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1960of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1961find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1962progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1963function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1964
1965Whenever this type is used, C<push_read> will invoke the function with the
1966handle object, the original callback and the remaining arguments.
1967
1968The function is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure) that
1969works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>), so you can
1970mentally treat the function as a "configurable read type to read callback"
1971converter.
1972
1973It should invoke the original callback when it is done reading (remember
1974to pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that,
1975although there is no strict requirement on this).
1976
1977For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m
1978AnyEvent::Handle>, search for C<register_read_type>)).
1979
1980=item $handle->stop_read
1981
1982=item $handle->start_read
1983
1984In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1985socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1986any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1987C<start_read>.
1988
1989Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1990you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1991will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1992there are any read requests in the queue.
1993
1994In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1995as TLS does not support half-duplex connections. In current versions they
1996work as expected, as this behaviour is required to avoid certain resource
1997attacks, where the program would be forced to read (and buffer) arbitrary
1998amounts of data before being able to send some data. The drawback is that
1999some readings of the the SSL/TLS specifications basically require this
2000attack to be working, as SSL/TLS implementations might stall sending data
2001during a rehandshake.
2002
2003As a guideline, during the initial handshake, you should not stop reading,
2004and as a client, it might cause problems, depending on your application.

2138
2139Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
2140object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
2141C<starttls>. See the C<tls> constructor argument for general info.
2142
2143Starting TLS is currently an asynchronous operation - when you push some
2144write data and then call C<< ->starttls >> then TLS negotiation will start
2145immediately, after which the queued write data is then sent. This might
2146change in future versions, so best make sure you have no outstanding write
2147data when calling this method.
2148
2149The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
2150C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
2151
2152The second argument is the optional C<AnyEvent::TLS> object that is used
2153when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object, or
2154a hash reference with C<< key => value >> pairs that will be used to
2155construct a new context.
2156
2157The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>, the TLS
2158context in C<< $handle->{tls_ctx} >> after this call and can be used or
2159changed to your liking. Note that the handshake might have already started
2160when this function returns.
2161
2162Due to bugs in OpenSSL, it might or might not be possible to do multiple
2163handshakes on the same stream. It is best to not attempt to use the
2164stream after stopping TLS.
2165
2166This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
2167destroyed after it returns).

2322=item $handle->destroy
2323
2324Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
2325no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
2326will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
2327destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
2328empty list).
2329
2330Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
2331object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
2332callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
2333callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2334within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2335that case.
2336
2337Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2338will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2339is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2340reference cycles.
2341
2342The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2343data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2361Returns false as long as the handle hasn't been destroyed by a call to C<<
2362->destroy >>, true otherwise.
2363
2364Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2365callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2366C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2367can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:
2368
2369 $hdl->starttls ("accept");
2370 return if $hdl->destroyed;
2371 $hdl->push_write (...
2372
2373Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle
2374has been destroyed, so often you can just ignore the possibility of the
2375handle being destroyed.

2406=over 4
2407
2408=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
2409still get further invocations!
2410
2411That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2412read or write callbacks.
2413
2414It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2415from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2416->destroy >> method.
2417
2418=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2419
2420Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2421you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2422considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2423
2424To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2425is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You can set
2426an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2427queue.
2428
2429See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2430
2431=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2432
2433Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2434followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2435and handles them, in a loop.
2436
2437There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2438handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2439close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2440client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2441detect an unexpected detection close.
2442
2443To handle this case, always make sure you have a non-empty read queue, by
2444pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2445
2446 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2447 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2448 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2449
2450 ... handle request
2451
2452 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2453 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2454 });
2455
2456 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2457 # now push the first @start_request
2458 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2459
2460By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2461some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2462unexpectedly.
2463
2464The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2465at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2466sockets easier, and in general, it means you cannot distinguish a protocl
2467failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2468kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2469problem).
2470
2471Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2472C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2473connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2474
2475A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2476callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2477(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2478error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2479and simpler:
2480
2481 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2482 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2483 my ($hdl) = @_;
2484
2485 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2486 # simply start read the request
2487
2488 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2489 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2490
2491 ... handle request
2492
2493 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2494 # let the request queue go empty.
363 }); 2495 });
364} 2496 });
2497
2498=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2499reading?
2500
2501Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2502communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently, the
2503read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2504write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2505
2506This means that, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2507callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2508is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2509
2510During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2511non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2512connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2513C<destroy> method.
2514
2515=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2516
2517If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2518to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2519clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2520will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2521
2522 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2523 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2524 $handle->on_error (sub {
2525 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2526 });
2527
2528Note that this example removes the C<rbuf> member from the handle object,
2529which is not normally allowed by the API. It is expressly permitted in
2530this case only, as the handle object needs to be destroyed afterwards.
2531
2532The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2533and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2534fact all data has been received.
2535
2536It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2537to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2538intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2539explicit QUIT command.
2540
2541=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2542all data has been written?
2543
2544After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2545and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2546C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2547written to the socket:
2548
2549 $handle->push_write (...);
2550 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2551 AE::log debug => "All data submitted to the kernel.";
2552 undef $handle;
2553 });
2554
2555If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2556consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2557
2558=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2559
2560If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2561connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2562parameter:
2563
2564 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2565 my ($fh) = @_;
2566
2567 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2568 fh => $fh,
2569 tls => "connect",
2570 on_error => sub { ... };
2571
2572 $handle->push_write (...);
2573 };
2574
2575=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2576
2577Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2578peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2579L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2580
2581E.g. for HTTPS:
2582
2583 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2584 my ($fh) = @_;
2585
2586 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2587 fh => $fh,
2588 peername => $host,
2589 tls => "connect",
2590 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2591 ...
2592
2593Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2594"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2595peername verification will be done.
2596
2597The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2598certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2599C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2600
2601 tls_ctx => {
2602 verify => 1,
2603 verify_peername => "https",
2604 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2605 },
2606
2607=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2608
2609Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2610three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2611self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2612there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2613nice program for that purpose).
2614
2615Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2616L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2617file should then look like this:
2618
2619 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2620 ...header data
2621 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2622 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2623
2624 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2625 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2626 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2627
2628The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2629specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2630
2631 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2632 my ($fh) = @_;
2633
2634 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2635 fh => $fh,
2636 tls => "accept",
2637 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2638 ...
2639
2640When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2641know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.

2645=head1 SUBCLASSING AnyEvent::Handle
2646
2647In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
2648
2649To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
2650conventions:
2651
2652=over 4
2653
2654=item * all constructor arguments become object members.
2655
2656At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
2657will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
2658mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
2659
2660=item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
2661
2662All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
2663with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
2664for use for subclasses.
2665
2666=item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
2667are free to use in subclasses.
2668
2669Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
2670member variables, but that's just life. At least it is documented.
