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

80 =head1 METHODS
81
82 =over 4
83
84 =item $handle = B<new> AnyEvent::Handle fh => $filehandle, key => value...
85
86 The constructor supports these arguments (all as C<< key => value >> pairs).
87
88 =over 4
89
90 =item fh => $filehandle [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
91
92 The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
93 NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking mode (using
94 C<AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking>) by the constructor and needs to stay in
95 that mode.
96
97 =item connect => [$host, $service] [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
98
99 Try to connect to the specified host and service (port), using
100 C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>. The C<$host> additionally becomes the
101 default C<peername>.
102
103 You have to specify either this parameter, or C<fh>, above.
104
105 It is possible to push requests on the read and write queues, and modify
106 properties of the stream, even while AnyEvent::Handle is connecting.
107
108 When this parameter is specified, then the C<on_prepare>,
109 C<on_connect_error> and C<on_connect> callbacks will be called under the
110 appropriate circumstances:
111
112 =over 4
113
114 =item on_prepare => $cb->($handle)
115
116 This (rarely used) callback is called before a new connection is
117 attempted, but after the file handle has been created. It could be used to
118 prepare the file handle with parameters required for the actual connect
119 (as opposed to settings that can be changed when the connection is already
120 established).
121
122 The return value of this callback should be the connect timeout value in
123 seconds (or C<0>, or C<undef>, or the empty list, to indicate the default
124 timeout is to be used).
125
126 =item on_connect => $cb->($handle, $host, $port, $retry->())
127
128 This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
129
130 The actual numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
131 parameters, together with a retry callback.
132
133 When, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, then calling
134 C<$retry> will continue with the next connection target (in case of
135 multi-homed hosts or SRV records there can be multiple connection
136 endpoints). At the time it is called the read and write queues, eof
137 status, tls status and similar properties of the handle will have been
138 reset.
139
140 In most cases, ignoring the C<$retry> parameter is the way to go.
141
142 =item on_connect_error => $cb->($handle, $message)
143
144 This callback is called when the connection could not be
145 established. C<$!> will contain the relevant error code, and C<$message> a
146 message describing it (usually the same as C<"$!">).
147
148 If this callback isn't specified, then C<on_error> will be called with a
149 fatal error instead.
150
151 =back
152
153 =item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
154
155 This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
156 occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
157 connect or a read error.
158
159 Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
160 fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->
161 destroy >>) after invoking the error callback (which means you are free to
162 examine the handle object). Examples of fatal errors are an EOF condition
163 with active (but unsatisifable) read watchers (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors. In
164 cases where the other side can close the connection at their will it is
165 often easiest to not report C<EPIPE> errors in this callback.
166
167 AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
168 against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
169 recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
170 error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
171
172 Non-fatal errors can be retried by simply returning, but it is recommended
173 to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
174 when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
175 C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
176
177 On callback entrance, the value of C<$!> contains the operating system
178 error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
179 C<EPROTO>).
180
181 While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
182 you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default simply calls
183 C<croak>.
184
185 =item on_read => $cb->($handle)
186
187 This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
188 and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
189 callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
190 read buffer).
191
192 To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
193 method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
194 must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
195 the beginning from it.
196
197 When an EOF condition is detected then AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
198 feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
199 calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
200 error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
201
202 Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
203 doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
204 are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
205 C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
206
207 =item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
208
209 Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
210 i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
211 connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
212 queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
213 connection close and will be flagged as an error).
214
215 For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
216 you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
217 callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
218 down.
219
220 If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
221 set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
222
223 =item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
224
225 This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
226 (or when the callback is set and the buffer is empty already).
227
228 To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
229
230 This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
231 into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
232 of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
233 memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
234 the file when the write queue becomes empty.
235
236 =item timeout => $fractional_seconds
237
238 =item rtimeout => $fractional_seconds
239
240 =item wtimeout => $fractional_seconds
241
242 If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
243 many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying
244 file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the C<on_timeout> callback
245 will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
246 error will be raised).
247
248 There are three variants of the timeouts that work fully independent
249 of each other, for both read and write, just read, and just write:
250 C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
251 C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
252 C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
253
254 Note that timeout processing is also active when you currently do not have
255 any outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
256 idle then you should disable the timout temporarily or ignore the timeout
257 in the C<on_timeout> callback, in which case AnyEvent::Handle will simply
258 restart the timeout.
259
260 Zero (the default) disables this timeout.
261
262 =item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
263
264 Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
265 callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
266 so this condition is not fatal in any way.
267
268 =item rbuf_max => <bytes>
269
270 If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
271 when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
272 avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
273
274 For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
275 be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
276 (for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
277 amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
278 isn't finished).
279
280 =item autocork => <boolean>
281
282 When disabled (the default), then C<push_write> will try to immediately
283 write the data to the handle, if possible. This avoids having to register
284 a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
285 be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
286 disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
287 C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
288
289 When enabled, then writes will always be queued till the next event loop
290 iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
291 but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
292 the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
293
294 =item no_delay => <boolean>
295
296 When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
297 wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
298 the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
299
300 In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
301 accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
302
303 The default is your opertaing system's default behaviour (most likely
304 enabled), this option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
305
306 =item keepalive => <boolean>
307
308 Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
309 normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
310 connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
311 side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
312 TCP connections whent he other side becomes unreachable. While the default
313 is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
314 and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
315 to 15 minutes later.
316
317 It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
318 keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
319 is usually a good idea.
320
321 =item oobinline => <boolean>
322
323 BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
324 is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
325 implements it slightly differently.
326
327 If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
328 is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
329 putting it into the stream.
330
331 Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
332 security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
333 unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
334 establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
335 already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
336 from most attacks.
337
338 =item read_size => <bytes>
339
340 The default read block size (the amount of bytes this module will
341 try to read during each loop iteration, which affects memory
342 requirements). Default: C<8192>.
343
344 =item low_water_mark => <bytes>
345
346 Sets the amount of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
347 buffer: If the write reaches this size or gets even samller it is
348 considered empty.
349
350 Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
351 the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
352 the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
353 is good in almost all cases.
354
355 =item linger => <seconds>
356
357 If non-zero (default: C<3600>), then the destructor of the
358 AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
359 write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
360 socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
361 system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
362
363 This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
364 yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
365 help.
366
367 =item peername => $string
368
369 A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
370 (I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
371
372 Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
373 peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
374 verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or
375 C<undef>.
376
377 =item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
378
379 When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
380 AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the connection has been
381 established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
382
383 All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
384 appropriate error message.
385
386 TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
387 automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
388 have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
389 to add the dependency yourself.
390
391 Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
392 C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
393 mode.
394
395 You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
396 to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
397 or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
398 AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
399 object.
400
401 At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
402 implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
403 away.
404
405 B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
406 passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
407 happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
408 segmentation fault.
409
410 See the C<< ->starttls >> method for when need to start TLS negotiation later.
411
412 =item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
413
414 Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
415 (unless a connection object was specified directly). If this parameter is
416 missing, then AnyEvent::Handle will use C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
417
418 Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
419 => value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
420 new TLS context object.
421
422 =item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
423
424 This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
425 C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
426 (C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
427
428 The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
429 callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
430
431 TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
432 callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
433
434 Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
435 called, as normal.
436
437 Note that you cannot call C<starttls> right again in this callback. If you
438 need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
439 then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
440
441 =item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
442
443 When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
444 set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
445 then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
446 on the handle.
447
448 The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
449 callback.
450
451 This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
452 underlying handle signals EOF.
453
454 =item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
455
456 This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
457
458 If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
459 suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
460 texts.
461
462 Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
463 use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

820
821 AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
822 for reading.
823
824 The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
825 AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.
826
827 When data could be written and the write buffer is shorter then the low
828 water mark, the C<on_drain> callback will be invoked.

922 Instead of formatting your data yourself, you can also let this module
923 do the job by specifying a type and type-specific arguments. You
924 can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in which
925 case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
926 C<anyevent_read_type> function inside (see "custom write types", below).
927

945
946 =item packstring => $format, $data
947
948 An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
949 uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
950 integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
951 optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).

960
961 =item json => $array_or_hashref
962
963 Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
964 provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
965 in UTF-8.
966
967 JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
968 one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
969 additional framing.
970
971 The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
972 this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
973 able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
974
975 A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
976 JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
977 they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
978 JSON text:
979
980 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
981 $handle->push_write ("\012");
982
983 An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
984 rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
985
986 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
987
988 Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
989 this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

1023 =item $handle->push_shutdown
1024
1025 Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1026 before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1027 C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1028 C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1029 replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1030
1031 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 } # for push_shutdown
1032
1033 This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1034 the peer.
1035
1036 You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1037 afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1038
1039 =cut
1040
1041 sub push_shutdown {
1042 my ($self) = @_;

1046 }
1047
1048 =item custom write types - Package::anyevent_write_type $handle, @args
1049
1050 Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1051 a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1052 a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1053 progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1054 function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1055
1056 Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will the function with
1057 the handle object and the remaining arguments.
1058
1059 The function is supposed to return a single octet string that will be
1060 appended to the write buffer, so you cna mentally treat this function as a
1061 "arguments to on-the-wire-format" converter.
1062
1063 Example: implement a custom write type C<join> that joins the remaining
1064 arguments using the first one.
1065
1066 $handle->push_write (My::Type => " ", 1,2,3);
1067
1068 # uses the following package, which can be defined in the "My::Type" or in
1069 # the "My" modules to be auto-loaded, or just about anywhere when the
1070 # My::Type::anyevent_write_type is defined before invoking it.

1086 =head2 READ QUEUE
1087
1088 AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
1089 for reading.
1090
1091 The read queue is more complex than the write queue. It can be used in two
1092 ways, the "simple" way, using only C<on_read> and the "complex" way, using
1093 a queue.
1094
1095 In the simple case, you just install an C<on_read> callback and whenever
1096 new data arrives, it will be called. You can then remove some data (if
1097 enough is there) from the read buffer (C<< $handle->rbuf >>). Or you cna
1098 leave the data there if you want to accumulate more (e.g. when only a
1099 partial message has been received so far).
1100
1101 In the more complex case, you want to queue multiple callbacks. In this
1102 case, AnyEvent::Handle will call the first queued callback each time new
1103 data arrives (also the first time it is queued) and removes it when it has
1104 done its job (see C<push_read>, below).
1105
1106 This way you can, for example, push three line-reads, followed by reading
1107 a chunk of data, and AnyEvent::Handle will execute them in order.
1108
1109 Example 1: EPP protocol parser. EPP sends 4 byte length info, followed by
1110 the specified number of bytes which give an XML datagram.
1111
1112 # in the default state, expect some header bytes
1113 $handle->on_read (sub {
1114 # some data is here, now queue the length-header-read (4 octets)
1115 shift->unshift_read (chunk => 4, sub {
1116 # header arrived, decode
1117 my $len = unpack "N", $_[1];
1118
1119 # now read the payload
1120 shift->unshift_read (chunk => $len, sub {
1121 my $xml = $_[1];
1122 # handle xml
1123 });
1124 });
1125 });
1126
1127 Example 2: Implement a client for a protocol that replies either with "OK"
1128 and another line or "ERROR" for the first request that is sent, and 64
1129 bytes for the second request. Due to the availability of a queue, we can
1130 just pipeline sending both requests and manipulate the queue as necessary
1131 in the callbacks.
1132
1133 When the first callback is called and sees an "OK" response, it will
1134 C<unshift> another line-read. This line-read will be queued I<before> the
1135 64-byte chunk callback.
1136
1137 # request one, returns either "OK + extra line" or "ERROR"
1138 $handle->push_write ("request 1\015\012");
1139
1140 # we expect "ERROR" or "OK" as response, so push a line read
1141 $handle->push_read (line => sub {
1142 # if we got an "OK", we have to _prepend_ another line,
1143 # so it will be read before the second request reads its 64 bytes
1144 # which are already in the queue when this callback is called
1145 # we don't do this in case we got an error
1146 if ($_[1] eq "OK") {
1147 $_[0]->unshift_read (line => sub {
1148 my $response = $_[1];
1149 ...
1150 });
1151 }
1152 });
1153
1154 # request two, simply returns 64 octets

1257 You can access the read buffer directly as the C<< ->{rbuf} >>
1258 member, if you want. However, the only operation allowed on the
1259 read buffer (apart from looking at it) is removing data from its
1260 beginning. Otherwise modifying or appending to it is not allowed and will
1261 lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
1262
1263 NOTE: The read buffer should only be used or modified if the C<on_read>,
1264 C<push_read> or C<unshift_read> methods are used. The other read methods
1265 automatically manage the read buffer.

1279
1280 The callback is called each time some additional read data arrives.
1281
1282 It must check whether enough data is in the read buffer already.
1283
1284 If not enough data is available, it must return the empty list or a false
1285 value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
1286 available (or an error condition is detected).
1287
1288 If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
1289 interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
1290 true, it will be removed from the queue.

1335 Instead of providing a callback that parses the data itself you can chose
1336 between a number of predefined parsing formats, for chunks of data, lines
1337 etc. You can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in
1338 which case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
1339 C<anyevent_read_type> function inside (see "custom read types", below).

1348 Invoke the callback only once C<$octets> bytes have been read. Pass the
1349 data read to the callback. The callback will never be called with less
1350 data.
1351
1352 Example: read 2 bytes.
1353

1355 warn "yay ", unpack "H*", $_[1];

1369
1370 =item line => [$eol, ]$cb->($handle, $line, $eol)
1371
1372 The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
1373 line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
1374 marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
1375 the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
1376
1377 The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
1378 will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
1379 object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
1380 regular expression.
1381
1382 The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
1383 undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
1384 protocols).
1385
1386 Partial lines at the end of the stream will never be returned, as they are
1387 not marked by the end of line marker.

1415 =item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1416
1417 Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1418 everything up to and including the match.
1419
1420 Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1421
1422 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1423
1424 If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1425 to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1426 does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1427 useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1428 receive buffer overflow).
1429
1430 Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1431 anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1432
1433 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1434
1435 If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1436 the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1437 and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1438 unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1439 know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1440 have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1441 and is usually worth only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1442
1443 Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1444 expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practise, but...), we use
1445 a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1446 it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1447 required for the accept regex.

1449 $handle->push_read (regex =>
1450 qr<\015\012\015\012>,

1568
1569 Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the
1570 callback. When a parse error occurs, an C<EBADMSG> error will be raised.
1571
1572 If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used
1573 for the final decode, otherwise it will create a JSON coder expecting UTF-8.
1574
1575 This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
1576 2.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1577 dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1578 AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.
1579
1580 Since JSON texts are fully self-delimiting, the C<json> read and write
1581 types are an ideal simple RPC protocol: just exchange JSON datagrams. See

1669
1670 Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1671 of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1672 find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1673 progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1674 function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1675
1676 Whenever this type is used, C<push_read> will invoke the function with the
1677 handle object, the original callback and the remaining arguments.
1678
1679 The function is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure) that
1680 works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>), so you can
1681 mentally treat the function as a "configurable read type to read callback"
1682 converter.
1683
1684 It should invoke the original callback when it is done reading (remember
1685 to pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that,
1686 although there is no strict requirement on this).
1687
1688 For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m
1689 AnyEvent::Handle>, search for C<register_read_type>)).
1690
1691 =item $handle->stop_read
1692
1693 =item $handle->start_read
1694
1695 In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1696 socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1697 any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1698 C<start_read>.
1699
1700 Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1701 you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1702 will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1703 there are any read requests in the queue.
1704

1831 Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
1832 object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
1833 C<starttls>.
1834
1835 Starting TLS is currently an asynchronous operation - when you push some
1836 write data and then call C<< ->starttls >> then TLS negotiation will start
1837 immediately, after which the queued write data is then sent.
1838
1839 The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
1840 C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
1841
1842 The second argument is the optional C<AnyEvent::TLS> object that is used
1843 when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object, or
1844 a hash reference with C<< key => value >> pairs that will be used to
1845 construct a new context.
1846
1847 The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>, the TLS
1848 context in C<< $handle->{tls_ctx} >> after this call and can be used or
1849 changed to your liking. Note that the handshake might have already started
1850 when this function returns.
1851
1852 Due to bugs in OpenSSL, it might or might not be possible to do multiple
1853 handshakes on the same stream. Best do not attempt to use the stream after
1854 stopping TLS.

1989
1990 Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
1991 no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
1992 will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
1993 destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
1994 empty list).
1995
1996 Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
1997 object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
1998 callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
1999 callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2000 within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2001 that case.
2002
2003 Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2004 will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2005 is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2006 reference cycles.
2007
2008 The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2009 data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

2049 =over 4
2050
2051 =item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
2052 still get further invocations!
2053
2054 That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2055 read or write callbacks.
2056
2057 It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2058 from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2059 ->destroy >> method.
2060
2061 =item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2062 reading?
2063
2064 Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2065 communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently. The
2066 read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2067 write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2068
2069 This can mean than, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2070 callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2071 is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2072
2073 During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2074 non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2075 connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2076 C<destroy> method.
2077
2078 =item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2079
2080 If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2081 to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2082 clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2083 will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2084
2085 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2086 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2087 $handle->on_error (sub {
2088 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2089 });
2090
2091 The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2092 and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2093 fact, all data has been received.
2094
2095 It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2096 to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2097 intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2098 explicit QUIT command.
2099
2100 =item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2101 all data has been written?
2102
2103 After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2104 and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2105 C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2106 written to the socket:
2107
2108 $handle->push_write (...);
2109 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2110 warn "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
2111 undef $handle;
2112 });
2113
2114 If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2115 consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2116
2117 =item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2118
2119 If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2120 simply connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2121 parameter:
2122
2123 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2124 my ($fh) = @_;
2125
2126 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2127 fh => $fh,
2128 tls => "connect",
2129 on_error => sub { ... };
2130
2131 $handle->push_write (...);
2132 };
2133
2134 =item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2135
2136 Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2137 peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2138 L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2139
2140 E.g. for HTTPS:
2141
2142 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2143 my ($fh) = @_;
2144
2145 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2146 fh => $fh,
2147 peername => $host,
2148 tls => "connect",
2149 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2150 ...
2151
2152 Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2153 "peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2154 peername verification will be done.
2155
2156 The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2157 certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2158 C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2159
2160 tls_ctx => {
2161 verify => 1,
2162 verify_peername => "https",
2163 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2164 },
2165
2166 =item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2167
2168 Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2169 three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2170 self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2171 there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2172 nice program for that purpose).
2173
2174 Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2175 L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2176 file should then look like this:
2177
2178 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2179 ...header data
2180 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2181 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2182
2183 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2184 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2185 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2186
2187 The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2188 specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2189
2190 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2191 my ($fh) = @_;
2192
2193 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2194 fh => $fh,
2195 tls => "accept",
2196 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2197 ...
2198
2199 When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2200 know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.

2206
2207 In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
2208
2209 To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
2210 conventions:
2211
2212 =over 4
2213
2214 =item * all constructor arguments become object members.
2215
2216 At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
2217 will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
2218 mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
2219
2220 =item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
2221
2222 All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
2223 with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
2224 for use for subclasses.
2225
2226 =item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
2227 are free to use in subclasses.
2228
2229 Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
2230 member variables, but thats just life, at least it is documented.
