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>.

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, $retry->())
129
130This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
131
132The peer's numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
133parameters, together with a retry callback.
134
135If, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, calling C<$retry>
136will continue with the next connection target (in case of multi-homed
137hosts or SRV records there can be multiple connection endpoints). At the
138time it is called the read and write queues, eof status, tls status and
139similar properties of the handle will have been reset.
140
141In most cases, you should ignore the C<$retry> parameter.
142
143=item on_connect_error => $cb->($handle, $message)
144
145This callback is called when the connection could not be
146established. C<$!> will contain the relevant error code, and C<$message> a
147message describing it (usually the same as C<"$!">).
148
149If this callback isn't specified, then C<on_error> will be called with a
150fatal error instead.
151
152=back
153
154=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
155
88This is the fatal error callback, that is called when, well, a fatal error 156This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
89occurs, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to connect 157occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
90or a read error. 158connect, or a read error.
91 159
92The object will not be in a usable state when this callback has been 160Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
93called. 161fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->
162destroy >>) after invoking the error callback (which means you are free to
163examine the handle object). Examples of fatal errors are an EOF condition
164with active (but unsatisfiable) read watchers (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors. In
165cases where the other side can close the connection at will, it is
166often easiest to not report C<EPIPE> errors in this callback.
94 167
168AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
169against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
170recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
171error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
172
173Non-fatal errors can be retried by returning, but it is recommended
174to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
175when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
176C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
177
95On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system 178On entry to the callback, the value of C<$!> contains the operating
96error (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE> or C<EBADMSG>). 179system error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
97 180C<EPROTO>).
98The callback should throw an exception. If it returns, then
99AnyEvent::Handle will C<croak> for you.
100 181
101While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as 182While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
102you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls 183you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default just calls
103die. 184C<croak>.
104 185
105=item on_read => $cb->($self) 186=item on_read => $cb->($handle)

107This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives 188This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
108and no read request is in the queue. 189and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
190callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
191read buffer).
109 192
110To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >> 193To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
111method or access the C<$self->{rbuf}> member directly. 194method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
195must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
196the beginning from it.
112 197
198You can also call C<< ->push_read (...) >> or any other function that
199modifies the read queue. Or do both. Or ...
200
113When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to 201When an EOF condition is detected, AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
114feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before 202feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
115calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal 203calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
116error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>). 204error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
117 205
206Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
207doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
208are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
209C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
210
211=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
212
213Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
214i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
215connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
216queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
217connection close and will be flagged as an error).
218
219For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
220you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
221callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
222down.
223
224If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
225set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
226
118=item on_drain => $cb->() 227=item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
119 228
120This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty 229This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
121(or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already). 230(or immediately if the buffer is empty already).
122 231
123To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method. 232To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
233
234This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
235into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
236of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
237memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
238the file when the write queue becomes empty.
239
240=item timeout => $fractional_seconds
241
242=item rtimeout => $fractional_seconds
243
244=item wtimeout => $fractional_seconds
245
246If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
247many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying
248file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the C<on_timeout> callback
249will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
250error will be raised).
251
252There are three variants of the timeouts that work independently of each
253other, for both read and write (triggered when nothing was read I<OR>
254written), just read (triggered when nothing was read), and just write:
255C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
256C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
257C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
258
259Note that timeout processing is active even when you do not have any
260outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
261idle then you should disable the timeout temporarily or ignore the
262timeout in the corresponding C<on_timeout> callback, in which case
263AnyEvent::Handle will simply restart the timeout.
264
265Zero (the default) disables the corresponding timeout.
266
267=item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
268
269=item on_rtimeout => $cb->($handle)
270
271=item on_wtimeout => $cb->($handle)
272
273Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
274callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
275so this condition is not fatal in any way.

127If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>) 279If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
128when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to 280when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
129avoid denial-of-service attacks. 281avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
130 282
131For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should 283For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
132be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on 284be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
133(for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited 285(for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
134amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line 286amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
135isn't finished). 287isn't finished).
136 288
289=item wbuf_max => <bytes>
290
291If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
292when the write buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
293avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
294
295Although the units of this parameter is bytes, this is the I<raw> number
296of bytes not yet accepted by the kernel. This can make a difference when
297you e.g. use TLS, as TLS typically makes your write data larger (but it
298can also make it smaller due to compression).
299
300As an example of when this limit is useful, take a chat server that sends
301chat messages to a client. If the client does not read those in a timely
302manner then the send buffer in the server would grow unbounded.
303
304=item autocork => <boolean>
305
306When disabled (the default), C<push_write> will try to immediately
307write the data to the handle if possible. This avoids having to register
308a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
309be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
310disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
311C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
312
313When enabled, writes will always be queued till the next event loop
314iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
315but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
316the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
317
318=item no_delay => <boolean>
319
320When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
321wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
322the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
323
324In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
325accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
326
327The default is your operating system's default behaviour (most likely
328enabled). This option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
329
330=item keepalive => <boolean>
331
332Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
333normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
334connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
335side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
336TCP connections when the other side becomes unreachable. While the default
337is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
338and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
339to 15 minutes later.
340
341It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
342keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
343is usually a good idea.
344
345=item oobinline => <boolean>
346
347BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
348is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
349implements it slightly differently.
350
351If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
352is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
353putting it into the stream.
354
355Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
356security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
357unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
358establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
359already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
360from most attacks.
361
137=item read_size => <bytes> 362=item read_size => <bytes>
138 363
139The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will try to read 364The initial read block size, the number of bytes this module will try to
140on each [loop iteration). Default: C<4096>. 365read during each loop iteration. Each handle object will consume at least
366this amount of memory for the read buffer as well, so when handling many
367connections requirements). See also C<max_read_size>. Default: C<2048>.
368
369=item max_read_size => <bytes>
370
371The maximum read buffer size used by the dynamic adjustment
372algorithm: Each time AnyEvent::Handle can read C<read_size> bytes in
373one go it will double C<read_size> up to the maximum given by this
374option. Default: C<131072> or C<read_size>, whichever is higher.
141 375
142=item low_water_mark => <bytes> 376=item low_water_mark => <bytes>
143 377
144Sets the amount of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write 378Sets 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 379buffer: If the buffer reaches this size or gets even samller it is
146considered empty. 380considered empty.
147 381
382Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
383the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
384the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
385is good in almost all cases.
386
387=item linger => <seconds>
388
389If this is non-zero (default: C<3600>), the destructor of the
390AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
391write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
392socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
393system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
394
395This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
396yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
397help.
398
399=item peername => $string
400
401A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
402(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
403
404Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
405peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
406verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or is
407C<undef>.
408
148=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object 409=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object

152data. 413established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
414
415All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
416appropriate error message.
153 417
154TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded 418TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
155automatically when you try to create a TLS handle). 419automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
420have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
421to add the dependency yourself.
156 422
157For the TLS server side, use C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a 423Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
158connection, use C<connect> mode. 424C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>

161to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state> 428to 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 429or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
163AnyEvent::Handle. 430AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
431object.
164 432
433At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
434implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
435away.
436
437B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
438passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
439happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
440segmentation fault.
441
165See the C<starttls> method if you need to start TLs negotiation later. 442Use the C<< ->starttls >> method if you need to start TLS negotiation later.

169Use the given Net::SSLeay::CTX object to create the new TLS connection 446Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
170(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is 447(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this
171missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>. 448parameter is missing (or C<undef>), then AnyEvent::Handle will use
449C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
172 450
173=item filter_r => $cb 451Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
452=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
453new TLS context object.
174 454
175=item filter_w => $cb 455=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
176 456
177These exist, but are undocumented at this time. 457This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
458C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
459(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
460
461The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
462callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
463
464TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
465callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
466
467Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
468called as usual.
469
470Note that you cannot just call C<starttls> again in this callback. If you
471need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
472then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
473
474=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
475
476When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
477set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
478then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
479on the handle.
480
481The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
482callback.
483
484This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
485underlying handle signals EOF.
486
487=item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
488
489This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
490
491If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
492suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
493texts.
494
495Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
496use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

383=item AnyEvent::Handle::register_write_type type => $coderef->($self, @args) 1032Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
1033provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
1034in UTF-8.
384 1035
385This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_write>. 1036JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
1037one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
1038additional framing.
1039
1040The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
1041this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
1042able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
1043
1044A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
1045JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
1046they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
1047JSON text:
1048
1049 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
1050 $handle->push_write ("\012");
1051
1052An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
1053rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
1054
1055 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
1056
1057Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
1058this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

1092=item $handle->push_shutdown
1093
1094Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1095before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1096C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1097C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1098replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1099
1100 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 }
1101
1102This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1103the peer.
1104
1105You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1106afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1107
1108This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1109destroyed after it returns).

1121
1122Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1123a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1124a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1125progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1126function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).

1650Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the
1651callback. When a parse error occurs, an C<EBADMSG> error will be raised.
1652
1653If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1654for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1655
1656This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
16572.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1658dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1659AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1660
1661Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1662types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See

826This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>. 1751Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1752of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1753find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1754progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1755function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).

1785
1786In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1787as TLS does not support half-duplex connections. In current versions they
1788work as expected, as this behaviour is required to avoid certain resource
1789attacks, where the program would be forced to read (and buffer) arbitrary
1790amounts of data before being able to send some data. The drawback is that
1791some readings of the the SSL/TLS specifications basically require this
1792attack to be working, as SSL/TLS implementations might stall sending data
1793during a rehandshake.
1794
1795As a guideline, during the initial handshake, you should not stop reading,
1796and as a client, it might cause problems, depending on your applciation.

2105=item $handle->destroy
2106
2107Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
2108no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
2109will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
2110destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
2111empty list).
2112
2113Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
2114object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
2115callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
2116callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2117within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2118that case.
2119
2120Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2121will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2122is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2123reference cycles.
2124
2125The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2126data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2146
2147Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2148callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2149C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2150can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:
2151
2152 $hdl->starttls ("accept");
2153 return if $hdl->destroyed;
2154 $hdl->push_write (...
2155
2156Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle
2157has been destroyed, so often you can just ignore the possibility of the
2158handle being destroyed.

2190
2191=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
2192still get further invocations!
2193
2194That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2195read or write callbacks.
2196
2197It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2198from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2199->destroy >> method.
2200
2201=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2202
2203Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2204you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2205considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2206
2207To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2208is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You cna set
2209an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2210queue.
2211
2212See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2213
2214=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2215
2216Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2217followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2218and handles them, in a loop.
2219
2220There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2221handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2222close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2223client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2224detect an unexpected detection close.
2225
2226To handle this case, always make sure you have a on-empty read queue, by
2227pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2228
2229 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2230 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2231 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2232
2233 ... handle request
2234
2235 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2236 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2237 });
2238
2239 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2240 # now push the first @start_request
2241 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2242
2243By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2244some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2245unexpectedly.
2246
2247The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2248at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2249sockets easier, and in general, it means you cnanot distinguish a protocl
2250failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2251kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2252problem).
2253
2254Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2255C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2256connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2257
2258A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2259callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2260(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2261error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2262and simpler:
2263
2264 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2265 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2266 my ($hdl) = @_;
2267
2268 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2269 # simply start read the request
2270
2271 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2272 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2273
2274 ... handle request
2275
2276 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2277 # let the request queue go empty.
2278 });
2279 });
2280
2281=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2282reading?
2283
2284Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2285communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently, the
2286read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2287write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2288
2289This means that, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2290callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2291is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2292
2293During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2294non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2295connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2296C<destroy> method.
2297
2298=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2299
2300If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2301to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2302clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2303will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2304
2305 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2306 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2307 $handle->on_error (sub {
2308 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2309 });
2310
2311Note that this example removes the C<rbuf> member from the handle object,
2312which is not normally allowed by the API. It is expressly permitted in
2313this case only, as the handle object needs to be destroyed afterwards.
2314
2315The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2316and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2317fact all data has been received.
2318
2319It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2320to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2321intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2322explicit QUIT command.
2323
2324=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2325all data has been written?
2326
2327After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2328and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2329C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2330written to the socket:
2331
2332 $handle->push_write (...);
2333 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2334 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
2335 undef $handle;
2336 });
2337
2338If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2339consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2340
2341=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2342
2343If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2344connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2345parameter:
2346
2347 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2348 my ($fh) = @_;
2349
2350 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2351 fh => $fh,
2352 tls => "connect",
2353 on_error => sub { ... };
2354
2355 $handle->push_write (...);
2356 };
2357
2358=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2359
2360Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2361peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2362L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2363
2364E.g. for HTTPS:
2365
2366 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2367 my ($fh) = @_;
2368
2369 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2370 fh => $fh,
2371 peername => $host,
2372 tls => "connect",
2373 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2374 ...
2375
2376Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2377"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2378peername verification will be done.
2379
2380The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2381certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2382C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2383
2384 tls_ctx => {
2385 verify => 1,
2386 verify_peername => "https",
2387 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2388 },
2389
2390=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2391
2392Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2393three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2394self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2395there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2396nice program for that purpose).
2397
2398Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2399L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2400file should then look like this:
2401
2402 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2403 ...header data
2404 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2405 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2406
2407 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2408 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2409 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2410
2411The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2412specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2413
2414 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2415 my ($fh) = @_;
2416
2417 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2418 fh => $fh,
2419 tls => "accept",
2420 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2421 ...
2422
2423When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2424know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.
