33=head1 DESCRIPTION
34
35This module is a helper module to make it easier to do event-based I/O on
36filehandles.
37
38The L<AnyEvent::Intro> tutorial contains some well-documented
39AnyEvent::Handle examples.
40
41In the following, when the documentation refers to of "bytes" then this
42means characters. As sysread and syswrite are used for all I/O, their
43treatment of characters applies to this module as well.
44
45At the very minimum, you should specify C<fh> or C<connect>, and the
46C<on_error> callback.
47
48All callbacks will be invoked with the handle object as their first
49argument.

65=head1 METHODS
66
67=over 4
68
69=item $handle = B<new> AnyEvent::TLS fh => $filehandle, key => value...
70
71The constructor supports these arguments (all as C<< key => value >> pairs).
72
73=over 4
74
75=item fh => $filehandle [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
76
77The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
78NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking mode (using
79C<AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking>) by the constructor and needs to stay in
80that mode.
81
82=item connect => [$host, $service] [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
83
84Try to connect to the specified host and service (port), using
85C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>. The C<$host> additionally becomes the
86default C<peername>.
87
88You have to specify either this parameter, or C<fh>, above.
89
90It is possible to push requests on the read and write queues, and modify
91properties of the stream, even while AnyEvent::Handle is connecting.
92
93When this parameter is specified, then the C<on_prepare>,
94C<on_connect_error> and C<on_connect> callbacks will be called under the
95appropriate circumstances:
96
97=over 4
98
99=item on_prepare => $cb->($handle)
100
101This (rarely used) callback is called before a new connection is
102attempted, but after the file handle has been created. It could be used to
103prepare the file handle with parameters required for the actual connect
104(as opposed to settings that can be changed when the connection is already
105established).
106
107The return value of this callback should be the connect timeout value in
108seconds (or C<0>, or C<undef>, or the empty list, to indicate the default
109timeout is to be used).
110
111=item on_connect => $cb->($handle, $host, $port, $retry->())
112
113This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
114
115The actual numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
116parameters, together with a retry callback.
117
118When, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, then calling
119C<$retry> will continue with the next conenction target (in case of
120multi-homed hosts or SRV records there can be multiple connection
121endpoints). When it is called then the read and write queues, eof status,
122tls status and similar properties of the handle are being reset.
123
124In most cases, ignoring the C<$retry> parameter is the way to go.
125
126=item on_connect_error => $cb->($handle, $message)
127
128This callback is called when the conenction could not be
129established. C<$!> will contain the relevant error code, and C<$message> a
130message describing it (usually the same as C<"$!">).
131
132If this callback isn't specified, then C<on_error> will be called with a
133fatal error instead.
134
135=back
136
137=item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
138
139This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
140occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
141connect or a read error.
142
143Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
144fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->
145destroy >>) after invoking the error callback (which means you are free to
146examine the handle object). Examples of fatal errors are an EOF condition
147with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors. In
148cases where the other side can close the connection at their will it is
149often easiest to not report C<EPIPE> errors in this callback.
150
151AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
152against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
153recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
154error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
155
156Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended
157to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
158when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
159C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
160
161On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system
162error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
163C<EPROTO>).
164
165While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
166you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls
167C<croak>.
168
169=item on_read => $cb->($handle)
170
171This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
172and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
173callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
174read buffer).
175
176To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
177method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
178must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
179the beginning from it.
180
181When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
182feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
183calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
184error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
185
186Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
187doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
188are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
189C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
190
191=item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
192
193Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
194i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
195connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
196queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
197connection close and will be flagged as an error).
198
199For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
200you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
201callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
202down.
203
204If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
205set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
206
207=item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
208
209This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
210(or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already).
211
212To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
213
214This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
215into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
216of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
217memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
218the file when the write queue becomes empty.
219
220=item timeout => $fractional_seconds
221
222=item rtimeout => $fractional_seconds
223
224=item wtimeout => $fractional_seconds
225
226If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
227many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying
228file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the C<on_timeout> callback
229will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
230error will be raised).
231
232There are three variants of the timeouts that work fully independent
233of each other, for both read and write, just read, and just write:
234C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
235C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
236C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
237
238Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have
239any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
240idle then you should disable the timout temporarily or ignore the timeout
241in the C<on_timeout> callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply
242restart the timeout.
243
244Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
245
246=item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
247
248Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
249callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
250so this condition is not fatal in any way.
251
252=item rbuf_max => <bytes>
253
254If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
255when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
256avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
257
258For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
259be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
260(for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
261amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
262isn't finished).
263
264=item autocork => <boolean>
265
266When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
267write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
268a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
269be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
270disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
271C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
272
273When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
274iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
275but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
276the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
277
278=item no_delay => <boolean>
279
280When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
281wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
282the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
283
284In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
285accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
286
287The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
288enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
289
290=item read_size => <bytes>
291
292The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will
293try to read during each loop iteration, which affects memory
294requirements). Default: C<8192>.
295
296=item low_water_mark => <bytes>
297
298Sets the amount of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
299buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is
300considered empty.
301
302Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
303the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
304the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
305is good in almost all cases.
306
307=item linger => <seconds>
308
309If non-zero (default: C<3600>), then the destructor of the
310AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
311write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
312socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
313system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
314
315This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
316yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
317help.
318
319=item peername => $string
320
321A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
322(I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
323
324Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
325peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
326verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or
327C<undef>.
328
329=item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
330
331When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
332AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the conenction has been
333established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
334
335All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
336appropriate error message.
337
338TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
339automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
340have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
341to add the dependency yourself.
342
343Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
344C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
345mode.
346
347You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
348to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
349or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
350AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
351object.
352
353At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
354implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
355away.
356
357B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
358passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
359happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
360segmentation fault.
361
362See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.
363
364=item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
365
366Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
367(unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
368missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
369
370Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
371=> value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
372new TLS context object.
373
374=item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
375
376This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
377C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
378(C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
379
380The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
381callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
382
383TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
384callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
385
386Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
387called, as normal.
388
389Note that you cannot call C<starttls> right again in this callback. If you
390need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
391then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
392
393=item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
394
395When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
396set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
397then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
398on the handle.
399
400The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
401callback.
402
403This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
404underlying handle signals EOF.
405
406=item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
407
408This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
409
410If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
411suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
412texts.
413
414Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
415use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

726=head2 WRITE QUEUE
727
728AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
729for reading.
730
731The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
732AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.
733
734When data could be written and the write buffer is shorter then the low
735water mark, the C<on_drain> callback will be invoked.
736

738

824Instead of formatting your data yourself, you can also let this module do
825the job by specifying a type and type-specific arguments.
826
827Predefined types are (if you have ideas for additional types, feel free to
828drop by and tell us):
829
830=over 4
831
832=item netstring => $string
833
834Formats the given value as netstring
835(http://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt, this is not a recommendation to use them).

841
842 (length $string) . ":$string,"
843};
844
845=item packstring => $format, $data
846
847An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
848uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
849integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
850optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
851
852=cut
853
854register_write_type packstring => sub {
855 my ($self, $format, $string) = @_;
856
857 pack "$format/a*", $string
858};
859
860=item json => $array_or_hashref
861
862Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
863provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
864in UTF-8.
865
866JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
867one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
868additional framing.
869
870The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
871this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
872able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
873
874A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
875JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
876they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
877JSON text:
878
879 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
880 $handle->push_write ("\012");
881
882An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
883rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
884
885 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
886
887Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
888this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

917
918=item $handle->push_shutdown
919
920Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
921before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
922C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
923C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
924replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
925
926 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 } # for push_shutdown
927
928This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
929the peer.
930
931You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
932afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
933
934=cut
935
936sub push_shutdown {
937 my ($self) = @_;
938
939 delete $self->{low_water_mark};
940 $self->on_drain (sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 });
941}
942
943=item AnyEvent::Handle::register_write_type type => $coderef->($handle, @args)
944
945This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_write>.
946Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will invoke the code
947reference with the handle object and the remaining arguments.
948
949The code reference is supposed to return a single octet string that will
950be appended to the write buffer.
951
952Note that this is a function, and all types registered this way will be
953global, so try to use unique names.

961=head2 READ QUEUE
962
963AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
964for reading.
965
966The read queue is more complex than the write queue. It can be used in two
967ways, the "simple" way, using only C<on_read> and the "complex" way, using
968a queue.
969
970In the simple case, you just install an C<on_read> callback and whenever
971new data arrives, it will be called. You can then remove some data (if
972enough is there) from the read buffer (C<< $handle->rbuf >>). Or you cna
973leave the data there if you want to accumulate more (e.g. when only a
974partial message has been received so far).
975
976In the more complex case, you want to queue multiple callbacks. In this
977case, AnyEvent::Handle will call the first queued callback each time new
978data arrives (also the first time it is queued) and removes it when it has
979done its job (see C<push_read>, below).
980
981This way you can, for example, push three line-reads, followed by reading
982a chunk of data, and AnyEvent::Handle will execute them in order.
983
984Example 1: EPP protocol parser. EPP sends 4 byte length info, followed by
985the specified number of bytes which give an XML datagram.
986
987 # in the default state, expect some header bytes
988 $handle->on_read (sub {
989 # some data is here, now queue the length-header-read (4 octets)
990 shift->unshift_read (chunk => 4, sub {
991 # header arrived, decode
992 my $len = unpack "N", $_[1];
993
994 # now read the payload
995 shift->unshift_read (chunk => $len, sub {
996 my $xml = $_[1];
997 # handle xml
998 });
999 });
1000 });
1001
1002Example 2: Implement a client for a protocol that replies either with "OK"
1003and another line or "ERROR" for the first request that is sent, and 64
1004bytes for the second request. Due to the availability of a queue, we can
1005just pipeline sending both requests and manipulate the queue as necessary
1006in the callbacks.
1007
1008When the first callback is called and sees an "OK" response, it will
1009C<unshift> another line-read. This line-read will be queued I<before> the
101064-byte chunk callback.
1011
1012 # request one, returns either "OK + extra line" or "ERROR"
1013 $handle->push_write ("request 1\015\012");
1014
1015 # we expect "ERROR" or "OK" as response, so push a line read
1016 $handle->push_read (line => sub {
1017 # if we got an "OK", we have to _prepend_ another line,
1018 # so it will be read before the second request reads its 64 bytes
1019 # which are already in the queue when this callback is called
1020 # we don't do this in case we got an error
1021 if ($_[1] eq "OK") {
1022 $_[0]->unshift_read (line => sub {
1023 my $response = $_[1];
1024 ...
1025 });
38 } 1026 }
39 }); 1027 });
40 1028
41 # or use the constructor to pass the callback: 1029 # request two, simply returns 64 octets

61
62This module is a helper module to make it easier to do non-blocking I/O
63on filehandles (and sockets, see L<AnyEvent::Socket>).
64
65The event loop is provided by L<AnyEvent>.
66
67=head1 METHODS
68
69=over 4
70
71=item B<new (%args)>
72
73The constructor has these arguments:
74
75=over 4
76
77=item fh => $filehandle
78
79The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
80
81NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking.
82
83=item read_block_size => $size
84
85The default read block size use for reads via the C<on_read>
86method.
87
88=item on_read => $cb
89
90=item on_eof => $cb
91
92=item on_error => $cb
93
94These are shortcuts, that will call the corresponding method and set the callback to C<$cb>.
95
96=item on_readline => $cb
97
98The C<readlines> method is called with the default seperator and C<$cb> as callback
99for you.

143This method installs a C<$callback> that will be called
144when new data arrived. You can access the read buffer via the C<rbuf>
145method (see below).
146
147The first argument of the C<$callback> will be the L<AnyEvent::Handle> object.

1130Returns the read buffer (as a modifiable lvalue).
1131
1132You can access the read buffer directly as the C<< ->{rbuf} >>
1133member, if you want. However, the only operation allowed on the
1134read buffer (apart from looking at it) is removing data from its
1135beginning. Otherwise modifying or appending to it is not allowed and will
1136lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
1137
1138NOTE: The read buffer should only be used or modified if the C<on_read>,
1139C<push_read> or C<unshift_read> methods are used. The other read methods
1140automatically manage the read buffer.

1151
1152Append the given callback to the end of the queue (C<push_read>) or
1153prepend it (C<unshift_read>).
1154
1155The callback is called each time some additional read data arrives.
1156
1157It must check whether enough data is in the read buffer already.
1158
1159If not enough data is available, it must return the empty list or a false
1160value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
1161available (or an error condition is detected).
1162
1163If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
1164interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
1165true, it will be removed from the queue.

1210Instead of providing a callback that parses the data itself you can chose
1211between a number of predefined parsing formats, for chunks of data, lines
1212etc.
1213
1214Predefined types are (if you have ideas for additional types, feel free to
1215drop by and tell us):

1220
1221Invoke the callback only once C<$octets> bytes have been read. Pass the
1222data read to the callback. The callback will never be called with less
1223data.
1224
1225Example: read 2 bytes.
1226
1227 $handle->push_read (chunk => 2, sub {
1228 warn "yay ", unpack "H*", $_[1];
1229 });

1238 $cb->($_[0], substr $_[0]{rbuf}, 0, $len, "");
1239 1
1240 }
1241};
1242
1243=item line => [$eol, ]$cb->($handle, $line, $eol)
1244
1245The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
1246line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
1247marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
1248the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
1249
1250The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
1251will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
1252object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
1253regular expression.
1254
1255The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
1256undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
1257protocols).
1258
1259Partial lines at the end of the stream will never be returned, as they are
1260not marked by the end of line marker.

1287
1288=item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1289
1290Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1291everything up to and including the match.
1292
1293Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1294
1295 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1296
1297If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1298to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1299does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1300useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1301receive buffer overflow).
1302
1303Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1304anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1305
1306 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1307
1308If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1309the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1310and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1311unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1312know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1313have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1314and is usually worth only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1315
1316Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1317expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practise, but...), we use
1318a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1319it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1320required for the accept regex.

1322 $handle->push_read (regex =>
1323 qr<\015\012\015\012>,

1399optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
1400
1401For example, DNS over TCP uses a prefix of C<n> (2 octet network order),

1441
1442Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the
1443callback. When a parse error occurs, an C<EBADMSG> error will be raised.
1444
1445If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1446for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1447
1448This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
14492.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1450dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1451AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1452
1453Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1454types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See

1544
1545This function (not method) lets you add your own types to C<push_read>.
1546
1547Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_read> will invoke the code
1548reference with the handle object, the callback and the remaining
1549arguments.
1550
1551The code reference is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure)
1552that works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>).
1553
1554It should invoke the passed callback when it is done reading (remember to
1555pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that).
1556
1557Note that this is a function, and all types registered this way will be
1558global, so try to use unique names.
1559
1560For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m AnyEvent::Handle>,
1561search for C<register_read_type>)).
1562
1563=item $handle->stop_read
1564
1565=item $handle->start_read
1566
1567In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1568socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1569any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1570C<start_read>.
1571
1572Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1573you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1574will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1575there are any read requests in the queue.
1576
1577These methods will have no effect when in TLS mode (as TLS doesn't support
1578half-duplex connections).

1702
1703Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
1704object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
1705C<starttls>.
1706
1707Starting TLS is currently an asynchronous operation - when you push some
1708write data and then call C<< ->starttls >> then TLS negotiation will start
1709immediately, after which the queued write data is then sent.
1710
1711The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
1712C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
1713
1714The second argument is the optional C<AnyEvent::TLS> object that is used
1715when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object, or
1716a hash reference with C<< key => value >> pairs that will be used to
1717construct a new context.
1718
1719The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>, the TLS
1720context in C<< $handle->{tls_ctx} >> after this call and can be used or
1721changed to your liking. Note that the handshake might have already started
1722when this function returns.
1723
1724Due to bugs in OpenSSL, it might or might not be possible to do multiple
1725handshakes on the same stream. Best do not attempt to use the stream after

1860=item $handle->destroy
1861
1862Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1863no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
1864will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
1865destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
1866empty list).
1867
1868Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1869object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1870callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1871callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
1872within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
1873that case.
1874
1875Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
1876will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
1877is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
1878reference cycles.
1879
1880The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining

1922
1923=item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
1924still get further invocations!
1925
1926That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
1927read or write callbacks.
1928
1929It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
1930from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
1931->destroy >> method.
1932
1933=item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
1934reading?
1935
1936Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
1937communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
1938read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
1939write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
1940
1941This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
1942callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
1943is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
1944
1945During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
1946non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
1947connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
1948C<destroy> method.
1949
1950=item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
1951
1952If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
1953to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
1954clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
1955will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
1956
1957 $handle->on_read (sub { });
1958 $handle->on_eof (undef);
1959 $handle->on_error (sub {
1960 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
1961 });
1962
1963The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
1964and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
1965fact, all data has been received.
1966
1967It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
1968to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
1969intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
1970explicit QUIT command.
1971
1972=item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
1973all data has been written?
1974
1975After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
1976and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
1977C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
1978written to the socket:
1979
1980 $handle->push_write (...);
1981 $handle->on_drain (sub {
1982 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
1983 undef $handle;
1984 });
1985
1986If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
1987consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
1988
1989=item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
1990
1991If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
1992simply connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
1993parameter:
1994
1995 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
1996 my ($fh) = @_;
1997
1998 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle

2007
2008Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2009peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2010L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2011
2012E.g. for HTTPS:
2013
2014 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2015 my ($fh) = @_;
2016
2017 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2018 fh => $fh,
2019 peername => $host,
2020 tls => "connect",
2021 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2022 ...
2023
2024Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2025"peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2026peername verification will be done.
2027
2028The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2029certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2030C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2031
2032 tls_ctx => {
2033 verify => 1,
2034 verify_peername => "https",
2035 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2036 },
2037
2038=item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2039
2040Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2041three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2042self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2043there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2044nice program for that purpose).
2045
2046Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2047L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2048file should then look like this:
2049
2050 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2051 ...header data
2052 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2053 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2054
2055 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2056 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2057 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2058
2059The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2060specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2061
2062 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2063 my ($fh) = @_;
2064
2065 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2066 fh => $fh,
2067 tls => "accept",
2068 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2069 ...
2070
2071When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2072know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.

2077=head1 SUBCLASSING AnyEvent::Handle
2078
2079In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
2080
2081To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
2082conventions:
2083
2084=over 4
2085
2086=item * all constructor arguments become object members.
2087
2088At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
2089will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
2090mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
2091
2092=item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
2093
2094All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
2095with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
2096for use for subclasses.
2097
2098=item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
2099are free to use in subclasses.
2100
2101Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
2102member variables, but thats just life, at least it is documented.
