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 => $cb->($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>.

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

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> error 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
253of each other, for both read and write, just read, and just write:
254C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
255C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
256C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
257
132Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have 258Note that timeout processing is active even when you do not have

155isn't finished). 282isn't finished).
156 283
284=item wbuf_max => <bytes>
285
286If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
287when the write buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
288avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
289
290Although the units of this parameter is bytes, this is the I<raw> number
291of bytes not yet accepted by the kernel. This can make a difference when
292you e.g. use TLS, as TLS typically makes your write data larger (but it
293can also make it smaller due to compression).
294
295As an example of when this limit is useful, take a chat server that sends
296chat messages to a client. If the client does not read those in a timely
297manner then the send buffer in the server would grow unbounded.
298
299=item autocork => <boolean>
300
301When disabled (the default), C<push_write> will try to immediately
302write the data to the handle if possible. This avoids having to register
303a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
304be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
305disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
306C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
307
308When enabled, writes will always be queued till the next event loop
309iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
310but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
311the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
312
313=item no_delay => <boolean>
314
315When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
316wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
317the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
318
319In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
320accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
321
322The default is your operating system's default behaviour (most likely
323enabled). This option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
324
325=item keepalive => <boolean>
326
327Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
328normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
329connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
330side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
331TCP connections when the other side becomes unreachable. While the default
332is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
333and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
334to 15 minutes later.
335
336It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
337keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
338is usually a good idea.
339
340=item oobinline => <boolean>
341
342BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
343is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
344implements it slightly differently.
345
346If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
347is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
348putting it into the stream.
349
350Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
351security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
352unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
353establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
354already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
355from most attacks.
356
157=item read_size => <bytes> 357=item read_size => <bytes>
158 358
159The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will try to read 359The initial read block size, the number of bytes this module will try to
160on each [loop iteration). Default: C<4096>. 360read during each loop iteration. Each handle object will consume at least
361this amount of memory for the read buffer as well, so when handling many
362connections requirements). See also C<max_read_size>. Default: C<2048>.
363
364=item max_read_size => <bytes>
365
366The maximum read buffer size used by the dynamic adjustment
367algorithm: Each time AnyEvent::Handle can read C<read_size> bytes in
368one go it will double C<read_size> up to the maximum given by this
369option. Default: C<131072> or C<read_size>, whichever is higher.
161 370
162=item low_water_mark => <bytes> 371=item low_water_mark => <bytes>

165buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is 374buffer: If the buffer reaches this size or gets even samller it is
166considered empty. 375considered empty.
167 376
377Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
378the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
379the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
380is good in almost all cases.
381
382=item linger => <seconds>
383
384If this is non-zero (default: C<3600>), the destructor of the
385AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
386write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
387socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
388system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
389
390This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
391yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
392help.
393
394=item peername => $string
395
396A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
397(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
398
399Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
400peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
401verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or is
402C<undef>.
403

409
410All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
411appropriate error message.

175automatically when you try to create a TLS handle). 414automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
415have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have

178connection, use C<connect> mode. 419C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
420mode.

182or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to 424or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
183AnyEvent::Handle. 425AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
426object.
184 427
428At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
429implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
430away.
431
432B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
433passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
434happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
435segmentation fault.
436
185See the C<starttls> method if you need to start TLs negotiation later. 437Use the C<< ->starttls >> method if you need to start TLS negotiation later.

189Use the given Net::SSLeay::CTX object to create the new TLS connection 441Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
190(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is 442(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this
191missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>. 443parameter is missing (or C<undef>), then AnyEvent::Handle will use
444C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
445
446Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
447=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
448new TLS context object.
449
450=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
451
452This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
453C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
454(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
455
456The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
457callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
458
459TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
460callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
461
462Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
463called as usual.
464
465Note that you cannot just call C<starttls> again in this callback. If you
466need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
467then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
468
469=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
470
471When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
472set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
473then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
474on the handle.
475
476The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
477callback.
478
479This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
480underlying handle signals EOF.

1084=item $handle->push_shutdown
1085
1086Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1087before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1088C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1089C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1090replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1091
1092 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 } # for push_shutdown
1093
1094This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1095the peer.
1096
1097You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1098afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1099
1100This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1101destroyed after it returns).

1114Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1115a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1116a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1117progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1118function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).

2074=item $handle->destroy
2075
2076Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
2077no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
2078will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
2079destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
2080empty list).
2081
2082Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
2083object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
2084callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
2085callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2086within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2087that case.
2088
2089Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2090will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2091is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2092reference cycles.
2093
2094The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2095data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2113Returns false as long as the handle hasn't been destroyed by a call to C<<

2115
2116Can be useful to decide whether the handle is still valid after some
2117callback possibly destroyed the handle. For example, C<< ->push_write >>,
2118C<< ->starttls >> and other methods can call user callbacks, which in turn
2119can destroy the handle, so work can be avoided by checking sometimes:
2120
2121 $hdl->starttls ("accept");
2122 return if $hdl->destroyed;
2123 $hdl->push_write (...
2124
2125Note that the call to C<push_write> will silently be ignored if the handle
2126has been destroyed, so often you can just ignore the possibility of the
2127handle being destroyed.

2172Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2173you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2174considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2175
2176To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2177is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You cna set
2178an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2179queue.
2180
2181See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2182
2183=item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2184
2185Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2186followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2187and handles them, in a loop.
2188
2189There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2190handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2191close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2192client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2193detect an unexpected detection close.
2194
2195To handle this case, always make sure you have a on-empty read queue, by
2196pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2197
2198 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2199 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2200 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2201
2202 ... handle request
2203
2204 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2205 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2206 });
2207
2208 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2209 # now push the first @start_request
2210 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2211
2212By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2213some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2214unexpectedly.
2215
2216The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2217at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2218sockets easier, and in general, it means you cnanot distinguish a protocl
2219failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2220kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2221problem).
2222
2223Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2224C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2225connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2226
2227A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2228callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2229(i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2230error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2231and simpler:
2232
2233 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2234 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2235 my ($hdl) = @_;
2236
2237 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2238 # simply start read the request
2239
2240 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2241 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2242
2243 ... handle request
2244
2245 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2246 # let the request queue go empty.
2247 });
2248 });
2249
2250=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2251reading?
2252
2253Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2254communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently, the
2255read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2256write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2257
2258This means that, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2259callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2260is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2261
2262During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2263non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2264connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2265C<destroy> method.
2266
2267=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2268
2269If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2270to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2271clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2272will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2273
2274 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2275 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2276 $handle->on_error (sub {
2277 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2278 });
2279
2280The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2281and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2282fact all data has been received.
2283
2284It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2285to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2286intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2287explicit QUIT command.
2288
2289=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2290all data has been written?
2291
2292After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2293and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2294C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2295written to the socket:
2296
2297 $handle->push_write (...);
2298 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2299 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
2300 undef $handle;
2301 });
2302
2303If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2304consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2305
2306=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2307
2308If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2309connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2310parameter:
2311
2312 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2313 my ($fh) = @_;
2314
2315 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2316 fh => $fh,
2317 tls => "connect",
2318 on_error => sub { ... };
2319
2320 $handle->push_write (...);
2321 };
2322
2323=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2324
2325Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2326peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2327L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2328
2329E.g. for HTTPS:
2330
2331 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2332 my ($fh) = @_;
2333
2334 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2335 fh => $fh,
2336 peername => $host,
2337 tls => "connect",
2338 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2339 ...
2340
2341Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2342"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2343peername verification will be done.
2344
2345The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2346certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2347C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2348
2349 tls_ctx => {
2350 verify => 1,
2351 verify_peername => "https",
2352 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2353 },
2354
2355=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2356
2357Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2358three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2359self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2360there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2361nice program for that purpose).
2362
2363Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2364L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2365file should then look like this:
2366
2367 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2368 ...header data
2369 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2370 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2371
2372 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2373 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2374 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2375
2376The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2377specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2378
2379 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2380 my ($fh) = @_;
2381
2382 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2383 fh => $fh,
2384 tls => "accept",
2385 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2386 ...
2387
2388When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2389know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.
