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>.

97that mode.
77 98
78=item on_eof => $cb->($handle) 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 => $cb->($handle) 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>, C<ETIMEDOUT> 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

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<$handle->{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 => $cb->($handle) 227=item on_drain => $cb->($handle)

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.
124 233
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.

127If non-zero, then this enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this many 246If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
128seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying file 247many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying

130missing, an C<ETIMEDOUT> errror will be raised). 249will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
250error will be raised).
131 251
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
132Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have 259Note that timeout processing is active even when you do not have any

147If 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>)
148when 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
149avoid denial-of-service attacks. 281avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
150 282

152be 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

154amount 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
155isn't finished). 287isn't finished).
156 288
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
157=item read_size => <bytes> 362=item read_size => <bytes>
158 363
159The 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
160on 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.
161 375
162=item low_water_mark => <bytes> 376=item low_water_mark => <bytes>
163 377
164Sets 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
165buffer: 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
166considered empty. 380considered empty.
167 381
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
168=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object 409=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object

171will start making tls handshake and will transparently encrypt/decrypt 412AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the connection has been

175automatically 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.

178connection, use C<connect> mode. 424C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
425mode.

183AnyEvent::Handle. 430AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
431object.
184 432
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
185See 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.

190(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is 447(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this
191missing, 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>.
450
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.
454
455=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
456
457This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
458C<$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.

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).

1120=item custom write types - Package::anyevent_write_type $handle, @args
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).

1011This 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

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.

2104=item $handle->destroy
2105
2106Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
2107no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
2108will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
2109destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
2110empty list).
2111
2112Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
2113object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
2114callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
2115callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2116within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2117that case.
2118
2119Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2120will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2121is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2122reference cycles.
2123
2124The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2125data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2143Returns false as long as the handle hasn't been destroyed by a call to C<<

2145
2146Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2147callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2148C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2149can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:
2150
2151 $hdl->starttls ("accept");
2152 return if $hdl->destroyed;
2153 $hdl->push_write (...
2154
2155Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle
2156has been destroyed, so often you can just ignore the possibility of the
2157handle being destroyed.

2188=over 4
2189
2190=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
2191still get further invocations!
2192
2193That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2194read or write callbacks.
2195
2196It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2197from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2198->destroy >> method.
2199
2200=item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2201
2202Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2203you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2204considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2205
2206To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2207is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You cna set
2208an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2209queue.
2210
2211See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2212
2213=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2214
2215Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2216followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2217and handles them, in a loop.
2218
2219There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2220handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2221close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2222client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2223detect an unexpected detection close.
2224
2225To handle this case, always make sure you have a on-empty read queue, by
2226pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2227
2228 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2229 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2230 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2231
2232 ... handle request
2233
2234 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2235 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2236 });
2237
2238 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2239 # now push the first @start_request
2240 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2241
2242By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2243some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2244unexpectedly.
2245
2246The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2247at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2248sockets easier, and in general, it means you cnanot distinguish a protocl
2249failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2250kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2251problem).
2252
2253Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2254C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2255connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2256
2257A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2258callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2259(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2260error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2261and simpler:
2262
2263 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2264 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2265 my ($hdl) = @_;
2266
2267 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2268 # simply start read the request
2269
2270 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2271 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2272
2273 ... handle request
2274
2275 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2276 # let the request queue go empty.
2277 });
2278 });
2279
2280=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2281reading?
2282
2283Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2284communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently, the
2285read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2286write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2287
2288This means that, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2289callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2290is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2291
2292During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2293non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2294connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2295C<destroy> method.
2296
2297=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2298
2299If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2300to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2301clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2302will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2303
2304 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2305 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2306 $handle->on_error (sub {
2307 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2308 });
2309
2310The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2311and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2312fact all data has been received.
2313
2314It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2315to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2316intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2317explicit QUIT command.
2318
2319=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2320all data has been written?
2321
2322After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2323and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2324C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2325written to the socket:
2326
2327 $handle->push_write (...);
2328 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2329 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
2330 undef $handle;
2331 });
2332
2333If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2334consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2335
2336=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2337
2338If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2339connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2340parameter:
2341
2342 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2343 my ($fh) = @_;
2344
2345 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2346 fh => $fh,
2347 tls => "connect",
2348 on_error => sub { ... };
2349
2350 $handle->push_write (...);
2351 };
2352
2353=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2354
2355Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2356peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2357L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2358
2359E.g. for HTTPS:
2360
2361 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2362 my ($fh) = @_;
2363
2364 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2365 fh => $fh,
2366 peername => $host,
2367 tls => "connect",
2368 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2369 ...
2370
2371Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2372"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2373peername verification will be done.
2374
2375The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2376certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2377C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2378
2379 tls_ctx => {
2380 verify => 1,
2381 verify_peername => "https",
2382 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2383 },
2384
2385=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2386
2387Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2388three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2389self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2390there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2391nice program for that purpose).
2392
2393Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2394L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2395file should then look like this:
2396
2397 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2398 ...header data
2399 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2400 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2401
2402 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2403 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2404 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2405
2406The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2407specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2408
2409 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2410 my ($fh) = @_;
2411
2412 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2413 fh => $fh,
2414 tls => "accept",
2415 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2416 ...
2417
2418When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2419know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.
