51filehandles. For utility functions for doing non-blocking connects and accepts 36stream-based filehandles (sockets, pipes, and other stream things).
52on sockets see L<AnyEvent::Util>.

38The L<AnyEvent::Intro> tutorial contains some well-documented

77 98
78=item on_eof => $cb->($self) 99=item connect => [$host, $service] [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
79 100
80Set the callback to be called on EOF. 101Try to connect to the specified host and service (port), using
102C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>. The C<$host> additionally becomes the
103default C<peername>.
81 104
82While not mandatory, it is highly recommended to set an eof callback, 105You have to specify either this parameter, or C<fh>, above.
83otherwise you might end up with a closed socket while you are still
84waiting for data.
85 106
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
86=item on_error => $cb->($self) 116=item on_prepare => $cb->($handle)
87 117
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, $message)
161
88This is the fatal error callback, that is called when, well, a fatal error 162This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
89occurs, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to connect 163occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
90or a read error. 164connect, or a read error.
91 165
92The object will not be in a usable state when this callback has been 166Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
93called. 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.
94 173
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. It is
176recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
177error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
178
179Non-fatal errors can be retried by returning, but it is recommended
180to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
181when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
182C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
183
95On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system 184On entry to the callback, the value of C<$!> contains the operating
96error (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE> or C<EBADMSG>). 185system error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
97 186C<EPROTO>).
98The callback should throw an exception. If it returns, then
99AnyEvent::Handle will C<croak> for you.
100 187
101While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as 188While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
102you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls 189you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default just calls
103die. 190C<croak>.

107This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives 194This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
108and no read request is in the queue. 195and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
196callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
197read buffer).
109 198
110To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >> 199To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
111method or access the C<$self->{rbuf}> member directly. 200method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
201must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
202the beginning from it.
112 203
204You can also call C<< ->push_read (...) >> or any other function that
205modifies the read queue. Or do both. Or ...
206
113When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to 207When an EOF condition is detected, AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
114feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before 208feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
115calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal 209calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
116error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>). 210error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
117 211
212Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
213doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
214are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
215C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
216
217=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
218
219Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
220i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
221connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
222queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
223connection close and will be flagged as an error).
224
225For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
226you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
227callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
228down.
229
230If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
231set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
232
118=item on_drain => $cb->() 233=item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
119 234
120This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty 235This sets the callback that is called once when the write buffer becomes
121(or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already). 236empty (and immediately when the handle object is created).
122 237
123To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method. 238To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
239
240This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
241into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
242of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
243memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
244the file when the write queue becomes empty.
245
246=item timeout => $fractional_seconds
247
248=item rtimeout => $fractional_seconds
249
250=item wtimeout => $fractional_seconds
251
252If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
253many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying
254file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the C<on_timeout> callback
255will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
256error will be raised).
257
258There are three variants of the timeouts that work independently of each
259other, for both read and write (triggered when nothing was read I<OR>
260written), just read (triggered when nothing was read), and just write:
261C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
262C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
263C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
264
265Note that timeout processing is active even when you do not have any
266outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
267idle then you should disable the timeout temporarily or ignore the
268timeout in the corresponding C<on_timeout> callback, in which case
269AnyEvent::Handle will simply restart the timeout.
270
271Zero (the default) disables the corresponding timeout.
272
273=item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
274
275=item on_rtimeout => $cb->($handle)
276
277=item on_wtimeout => $cb->($handle)
278
279Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
280callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
281so this condition is not fatal in any way.

126 284
127If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>) 285If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
128when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to 286when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
129avoid denial-of-service attacks. 287avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.

132be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on 290be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on

134amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line 292amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
135isn't finished). 293isn't finished).
136 294
295=item wbuf_max => <bytes>
296
297If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
298when the write buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
299avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
300
301Although the units of this parameter is bytes, this is the I<raw> number
302of bytes not yet accepted by the kernel. This can make a difference when
303you e.g. use TLS, as TLS typically makes your write data larger (but it
304can also make it smaller due to compression).
305
306As an example of when this limit is useful, take a chat server that sends
307chat messages to a client. If the client does not read those in a timely
308manner then the send buffer in the server would grow unbounded.
309
310=item autocork => <boolean>
311
312When disabled (the default), C<push_write> will try to immediately
313write the data to the handle if possible. This avoids having to register
314a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
315be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
316disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
317C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
318
319When enabled, writes will always be queued till the next event loop
320iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
321but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
322the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
323
324=item no_delay => <boolean>
325
326When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
327wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
328the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
329
330In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
331accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
332
333The default is your operating system's default behaviour (most likely
334enabled). This option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
335
336=item keepalive => <boolean>
337
338Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
339normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
340connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
341side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
342TCP connections when the other side becomes unreachable. While the default
343is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
344and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
345to 15 minutes later.
346
347It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
348keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
349is usually a good idea.
350
351=item oobinline => <boolean>
352
353BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
354is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
355implements it slightly differently.
356
357If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
358is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
359putting it into the stream.
360
361Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
362security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
363unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
364establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
365already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
366from most attacks.
367
137=item read_size => <bytes> 368=item read_size => <bytes>
138 369
139The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will try to read 370The initial read block size, the number of bytes this module will try
140on each [loop iteration). Default: C<4096>. 371to read during each loop iteration. Each handle object will consume
372at least this amount of memory for the read buffer as well, so when
373handling many connections watch out for memory requirements). See also
374C<max_read_size>. Default: C<2048>.
375
376=item max_read_size => <bytes>
377
378The maximum read buffer size used by the dynamic adjustment
379algorithm: Each time AnyEvent::Handle can read C<read_size> bytes in
380one go it will double C<read_size> up to the maximum given by this
381option. Default: C<131072> or C<read_size>, whichever is higher.
141 382
142=item low_water_mark => <bytes> 383=item low_water_mark => <bytes>
143 384
144Sets the amount of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write 385Sets the number of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
145buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is 386buffer: If the buffer reaches this size or gets even samller it is
146considered empty. 387considered empty.
147 388
389Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
390the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
391the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
392is good in almost all cases.
393
394=item linger => <seconds>
395
396If this is non-zero (default: C<3600>), the destructor of the
397AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
398write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
399socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
400system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
401
402This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
403yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
404help.
405
406=item peername => $string
407
408A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
409(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
410
411Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
412peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
413verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or is
414C<undef>.
415
148=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object 416=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object

151will start making tls handshake and will transparently encrypt/decrypt 419AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the connection has been
152data. 420established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
421
422All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
423appropriate error message.
153 424
154TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded 425TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
155automatically when you try to create a TLS handle). 426automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
427have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have

158connection, use C<connect> mode. 431C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
432mode.
159 433
160You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have 434You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
161to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state> 435to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
162or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to 436or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
163AnyEvent::Handle. 437AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
438object.
164 439
440At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
441implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
442away.
443
444B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
445passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
446happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
447segmentation fault.
448
165See the C<starttls> method if you need to start TLs negotiation later. 449Use the C<< ->starttls >> method if you need to start TLS negotiation later.

167=item tls_ctx => $ssl_ctx 451=item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls

169Use the given Net::SSLeay::CTX object to create the new TLS connection 453Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
170(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is 454(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this
171missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>. 455parameter is missing (or C<undef>), then AnyEvent::Handle will use
456C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
172 457
173=item filter_r => $cb 458Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
459=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
460new TLS context object.
174 461
175=item filter_w => $cb 462=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
176 463
177These exist, but are undocumented at this time. 464This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
465C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
466(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
467
468The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
469callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
470
471TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
472callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
473
474Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
475called as usual.
476
477Note that you cannot just call C<starttls> again in this callback. If you
478need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
479then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
480
481=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
482
483When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
484set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
485then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
486on the handle.
487
488The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
489callback.
490
491This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
492underlying handle signals EOF.
493
494=item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
495
496This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
497
498If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
499suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
500texts.
501
502Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
503use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

383This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_write>. 1024An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
1025uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
1026integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
1027optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).

1037=item json => $array_or_hashref
1038
1039Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
1040provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
1041in UTF-8.
1042
1043JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
1044one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
1045additional framing.
1046
1047The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
1048this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
1049able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
1050
1051A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
1052JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
1053they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
1054JSON text:
1055
1056 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
1057 $handle->push_write ("\012");
1058
1059An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
1060rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
1061
1062 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
1063
1064Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
1065this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

1099=item $handle->push_shutdown
1100
1101Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1102before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1103C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1104C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1105replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1106
1107 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 }
1108
1109This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1110the peer.
1111
1112You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1113afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1114
1115This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1116destroyed after it returns).

1127=item custom write types - Package::anyevent_write_type $handle, @args
1128
1129Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1130a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1131a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1132progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1133function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).

1657Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the
1658callback. When a parse error occurs, an C<EBADMSG> error will be raised.
1659
1660If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1661for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1662
1663This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
16642.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1665dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1666AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1667
1668Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1669types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See

824This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>. 1757Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1758of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1759find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1760progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1761function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).

1791
1792In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1793as TLS does not support half-duplex connections. In current versions they
1794work as expected, as this behaviour is required to avoid certain resource
1795attacks, where the program would be forced to read (and buffer) arbitrary
1796amounts of data before being able to send some data. The drawback is that
1797some readings of the the SSL/TLS specifications basically require this
1798attack to be working, as SSL/TLS implementations might stall sending data
1799during a rehandshake.
1800
1801As a guideline, during the initial handshake, you should not stop reading,
1802and as a client, it might cause problems, depending on your application.

2111=item $handle->destroy
2112
2113Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
2114no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
2115will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
2116destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
2117empty list).
2118
2119Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
2120object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
2121callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
2122callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2123within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2124that case.
2125
2126Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2127will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2128is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2129reference cycles.
2130
2131The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2132data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2150Returns false as long as the handle hasn't been destroyed by a call to C<<

2152
2153Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2154callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2155C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2156can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:
2157
2158 $hdl->starttls ("accept");
2159 return if $hdl->destroyed;
2160 $hdl->push_write (...
2161
2162Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle
2163has been destroyed, so often you can just ignore the possibility of the
2164handle being destroyed.

2199
2200That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2201read or write callbacks.
2202
2203It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2204from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2205->destroy >> method.
2206
2207=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2208
2209Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2210you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2211considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2212
2213To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2214is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You can set
2215an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2216queue.
2217
2218See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2219
2220=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2221
2222Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2223followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2224and handles them, in a loop.
2225
2226There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2227handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2228close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2229client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2230detect an unexpected detection close.
2231
2232To handle this case, always make sure you have a on-empty read queue, by
2233pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2234
2235 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2236 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2237 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2238
2239 ... handle request
2240
2241 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2242 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2243 });
2244
2245 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2246 # now push the first @start_request
2247 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2248
2249By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2250some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2251unexpectedly.
2252
2253The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2254at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2255sockets easier, and in general, it means you cannot distinguish a protocl
2256failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2257kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2258problem).
2259
2260Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2261C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2262connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2263
2264A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2265callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2266(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2267error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2268and simpler:
2269
2270 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2271 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2272 my ($hdl) = @_;
2273
2274 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2275 # simply start read the request
2276
2277 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2278 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2279
2280 ... handle request
2281
2282 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2283 # let the request queue go empty.
2284 });
2285 });
2286
2287=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2288reading?
2289
2290Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2291communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently, the
2292read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2293write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2294
2295This means that, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2296callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2297is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2298
2299During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2300non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2301connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2302C<destroy> method.
2303
2304=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2305
2306If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2307to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2308clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2309will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2310
2311 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2312 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2313 $handle->on_error (sub {
2314 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2315 });
2316
2317Note that this example removes the C<rbuf> member from the handle object,
2318which is not normally allowed by the API. It is expressly permitted in
2319this case only, as the handle object needs to be destroyed afterwards.
2320
2321The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2322and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2323fact all data has been received.
2324
2325It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2326to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2327intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2328explicit QUIT command.
2329
2330=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2331all data has been written?
2332
2333After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2334and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2335C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2336written to the socket:
2337
2338 $handle->push_write (...);
2339 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2340 AE::log debug => "All data submitted to the kernel.";
2341 undef $handle;
2342 });
2343
2344If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2345consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2346
2347=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2348
2349If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2350connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2351parameter:
2352
2353 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2354 my ($fh) = @_;
2355
2356 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2357 fh => $fh,
2358 tls => "connect",
2359 on_error => sub { ... };
2360
2361 $handle->push_write (...);
1034 } 2362 };
1035} 2363
2364=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2365
2366Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2367peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2368L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2369
2370E.g. for HTTPS:
2371
2372 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2373 my ($fh) = @_;
2374
2375 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2376 fh => $fh,
2377 peername => $host,
2378 tls => "connect",
2379 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2380 ...
2381
2382Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2383"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2384peername verification will be done.
2385
2386The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2387certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2388C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2389
2390 tls_ctx => {
2391 verify => 1,
2392 verify_peername => "https",
2393 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2394 },
2395
2396=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2397
2398Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2399three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2400self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2401there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2402nice program for that purpose).
2403
2404Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2405L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2406file should then look like this:
2407
2408 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2409 ...header data
2410 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2411 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2412
2413 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2414 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2415 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2416
2417The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2418specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2419
2420 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2421 my ($fh) = @_;
2422
2423 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2424 fh => $fh,
2425 tls => "accept",
2426 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2427 ...
2428
2429When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2430know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.
