33 =head1 DESCRIPTION
34
35 This is a helper module to make it easier to do event-based I/O on
36 stream-based filehandles (sockets, pipes, and other stream things).
37
38 The L<AnyEvent::Intro> tutorial contains some well-documented
39 AnyEvent::Handle examples.
40
41 In the following, where the documentation refers to "bytes", it means
42 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.

82 =head1 METHODS
83
84 =over 4
85
86 =item $handle = B<new> AnyEvent::Handle fh => $filehandle, key => value...
87
88 The constructor supports these arguments (all as C<< key => value >> pairs).
89
90 =over 4
91
92 =item fh => $filehandle [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
93
94 The filehandle this L<AnyEvent::Handle> object will operate on.
95 NOTE: The filehandle will be set to non-blocking mode (using
96 C<AnyEvent::Util::fh_nonblocking>) by the constructor and needs to stay in
97 that mode.
98
99 =item connect => [$host, $service] [C<fh> or C<connect> MANDATORY]
100
101 Try to connect to the specified host and service (port), using
102 C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>. The C<$host> additionally becomes the
103 default C<peername>.
104
105 You have to specify either this parameter, or C<fh>, above.
106
107 It is possible to push requests on the read and write queues, and modify
108 properties of the stream, even while AnyEvent::Handle is connecting.
109
110 When this parameter is specified, then the C<on_prepare>,
111 C<on_connect_error> and C<on_connect> callbacks will be called under the
112 appropriate circumstances:
113
114 =over 4
115
116 =item on_prepare => $cb->($handle)
117
118 This (rarely used) callback is called before a new connection is
119 attempted, but after the file handle has been created (you can access that
120 file handle via C<< $handle->{fh} >>). It could be used to prepare the
121 file handle with parameters required for the actual connect (as opposed to
122 settings that can be changed when the connection is already established).
123
124 The return value of this callback should be the connect timeout value in
125 seconds (or C<0>, or C<undef>, or the empty list, to indicate that the
126 default timeout is to be used).
127
128 =item on_connect => $cb->($handle, $host, $port, $retry->())
129
130 This callback is called when a connection has been successfully established.
131
132 The peer's numeric host and port (the socket peername) are passed as
133 parameters, together with a retry callback.
134
135 If, for some reason, the handle is not acceptable, calling C<$retry>
136 will continue with the next connection target (in case of multi-homed
137 hosts or SRV records there can be multiple connection endpoints). At the
138 time it is called the read and write queues, eof status, tls status and
139 similar properties of the handle will have been reset.
140
141 In most cases, you should ignore the C<$retry> parameter.
142
143 =item on_connect_error => $cb->($handle, $message)
144
145 This callback is called when the connection could not be
146 established. C<$!> will contain the relevant error code, and C<$message> a
147 message describing it (usually the same as C<"$!">).
148
149 If this callback isn't specified, then C<on_error> will be called with a
150 fatal error instead.
151
152 =back
153
154 =item on_error => $cb->($handle, $fatal, $message)
155
156 This is the error callback, which is called when, well, some error
157 occured, such as not being able to resolve the hostname, failure to
158 connect, or a read error.
159
160 Some errors are fatal (which is indicated by C<$fatal> being true). On
161 fatal errors the handle object will be destroyed (by a call to C<< ->
162 destroy >>) after invoking the error callback (which means you are free to
163 examine the handle object). Examples of fatal errors are an EOF condition
164 with active (but unsatisfiable) read watchers (C<EPIPE>) or I/O errors. In
165 cases where the other side can close the connection at will, it is
166 often easiest to not report C<EPIPE> errors in this callback.
167
168 AnyEvent::Handle tries to find an appropriate error code for you to check
169 against, but in some cases (TLS errors), this does not work well. It is
170 recommended to always output the C<$message> argument in human-readable
171 error messages (it's usually the same as C<"$!">).
172
173 Non-fatal errors can be retried by returning, but it is recommended
174 to simply ignore this parameter and instead abondon the handle object
175 when this callback is invoked. Examples of non-fatal errors are timeouts
176 C<ETIMEDOUT>) or badly-formatted data (C<EBADMSG>).
177
178 On entry to the callback, the value of C<$!> contains the operating
179 system error code (or C<ENOSPC>, C<EPIPE>, C<ETIMEDOUT>, C<EBADMSG> or
180 C<EPROTO>).
181
182 While not mandatory, it is I<highly> recommended to set this callback, as
183 you will not be notified of errors otherwise. The default just calls
184 C<croak>.
185
186 =item on_read => $cb->($handle)
187
188 This sets the default read callback, which is called when data arrives
189 and no read request is in the queue (unlike read queue callbacks, this
190 callback will only be called when at least one octet of data is in the
191 read buffer).
192
193 To access (and remove data from) the read buffer, use the C<< ->rbuf >>
194 method or access the C<< $handle->{rbuf} >> member directly. Note that you
195 must not enlarge or modify the read buffer, you can only remove data at
196 the beginning from it.
197
198 You can also call C<< ->push_read (...) >> or any other function that
199 modifies the read queue. Or do both. Or ...
200
201 When an EOF condition is detected, AnyEvent::Handle will first try to
202 feed all the remaining data to the queued callbacks and C<on_read> before
203 calling the C<on_eof> callback. If no progress can be made, then a fatal
204 error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<EPIPE>).
205
206 Note that, unlike requests in the read queue, an C<on_read> callback
207 doesn't mean you I<require> some data: if there is an EOF and there
208 are outstanding read requests then an error will be flagged. With an
209 C<on_read> callback, the C<on_eof> callback will be invoked.
210
211 =item on_eof => $cb->($handle)
212
213 Set the callback to be called when an end-of-file condition is detected,
214 i.e. in the case of a socket, when the other side has closed the
215 connection cleanly, and there are no outstanding read requests in the
216 queue (if there are read requests, then an EOF counts as an unexpected
217 connection close and will be flagged as an error).
218
219 For sockets, this just means that the other side has stopped sending data,
220 you can still try to write data, and, in fact, one can return from the EOF
221 callback and continue writing data, as only the read part has been shut
222 down.
223
224 If an EOF condition has been detected but no C<on_eof> callback has been
225 set, then a fatal error will be raised with C<$!> set to <0>.
226
227 =item on_drain => $cb->($handle)
228
229 This sets the callback that is called when the write buffer becomes empty
230 (or immediately if the buffer is empty already).
231
232 To append to the write buffer, use the C<< ->push_write >> method.
233
234 This callback is useful when you don't want to put all of your write data
235 into the queue at once, for example, when you want to write the contents
236 of some file to the socket you might not want to read the whole file into
237 memory and push it into the queue, but instead only read more data from
238 the file when the write queue becomes empty.
239
240 =item timeout => $fractional_seconds
241
242 =item rtimeout => $fractional_seconds
243
244 =item wtimeout => $fractional_seconds
245
246 If non-zero, then these enables an "inactivity" timeout: whenever this
247 many seconds pass without a successful read or write on the underlying
248 file handle (or a call to C<timeout_reset>), the C<on_timeout> callback
249 will be invoked (and if that one is missing, a non-fatal C<ETIMEDOUT>
250 error will be raised).
251
252 There are three variants of the timeouts that work independently of each
253 other, for both read and write (triggered when nothing was read I<OR>
254 written), just read (triggered when nothing was read), and just write:
255 C<timeout>, C<rtimeout> and C<wtimeout>, with corresponding callbacks
256 C<on_timeout>, C<on_rtimeout> and C<on_wtimeout>, and reset functions
257 C<timeout_reset>, C<rtimeout_reset>, and C<wtimeout_reset>.
258
259 Note that timeout processing is active even when you do not have any
260 outstanding read or write requests: If you plan to keep the connection
261 idle then you should disable the timeout temporarily or ignore the
262 timeout in the corresponding C<on_timeout> callback, in which case
263 AnyEvent::Handle will simply restart the timeout.
264
265 Zero (the default) disables the corresponding timeout.
266
267 =item on_timeout => $cb->($handle)
268
269 =item on_rtimeout => $cb->($handle)
270
271 =item on_wtimeout => $cb->($handle)
272
273 Called whenever the inactivity timeout passes. If you return from this
274 callback, then the timeout will be reset as if some activity had happened,
275 so this condition is not fatal in any way.
276
277 =item rbuf_max => <bytes>
278
279 If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
280 when the read buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
281 avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
282
283 For example, a server accepting connections from untrusted sources should
284 be configured to accept only so-and-so much data that it cannot act on
285 (for example, when expecting a line, an attacker could send an unlimited
286 amount of data without a callback ever being called as long as the line
287 isn't finished).
288
289 =item wbuf_max => <bytes>
290
291 If defined, then a fatal error will be raised (with C<$!> set to C<ENOSPC>)
292 when the write buffer ever (strictly) exceeds this size. This is useful to
293 avoid some forms of denial-of-service attacks.
294
295 Although the units of this parameter is bytes, this is the I<raw> number
296 of bytes not yet accepted by the kernel. This can make a difference when
297 you e.g. use TLS, as TLS typically makes your write data larger (but it
298 can also make it smaller due to compression).
299
300 As an example of when this limit is useful, take a chat server that sends
301 chat messages to a client. If the client does not read those in a timely
302 manner then the send buffer in the server would grow unbounded.
303
304 =item autocork => <boolean>
305
306 When disabled (the default), C<push_write> will try to immediately
307 write the data to the handle if possible. This avoids having to register
308 a write watcher and wait for the next event loop iteration, but can
309 be inefficient if you write multiple small chunks (on the wire, this
310 disadvantage is usually avoided by your kernel's nagle algorithm, see
311 C<no_delay>, but this option can save costly syscalls).
312
313 When enabled, writes will always be queued till the next event loop
314 iteration. This is efficient when you do many small writes per iteration,
315 but less efficient when you do a single write only per iteration (or when
316 the write buffer often is full). It also increases write latency.
317
318 =item no_delay => <boolean>
319
320 When doing small writes on sockets, your operating system kernel might
321 wait a bit for more data before actually sending it out. This is called
322 the Nagle algorithm, and usually it is beneficial.
323
324 In some situations you want as low a delay as possible, which can be
325 accomplishd by setting this option to a true value.
326
327 The default is your operating system's default behaviour (most likely
328 enabled). This option explicitly enables or disables it, if possible.
329
330 =item keepalive => <boolean>
331
332 Enables (default disable) the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the stream socket:
333 normally, TCP connections have no time-out once established, so TCP
334 connections, once established, can stay alive forever even when the other
335 side has long gone. TCP keepalives are a cheap way to take down long-lived
336 TCP connections when the other side becomes unreachable. While the default
337 is OS-dependent, TCP keepalives usually kick in after around two hours,
338 and, if the other side doesn't reply, take down the TCP connection some 10
339 to 15 minutes later.
340
341 It is harmless to specify this option for file handles that do not support
342 keepalives, and enabling it on connections that are potentially long-lived
343 is usually a good idea.
344
345 =item oobinline => <boolean>
346
347 BSD majorly fucked up the implementation of TCP urgent data. The result
348 is that almost no OS implements TCP according to the specs, and every OS
349 implements it slightly differently.
350
351 If you want to handle TCP urgent data, then setting this flag (the default
352 is enabled) gives you the most portable way of getting urgent data, by
353 putting it into the stream.
354
355 Since BSD emulation of OOB data on top of TCP's urgent data can have
356 security implications, AnyEvent::Handle sets this flag automatically
357 unless explicitly specified. Note that setting this flag after
358 establishing a connection I<may> be a bit too late (data loss could
359 already have occured on BSD systems), but at least it will protect you
360 from most attacks.
361
362 =item read_size => <bytes>
363
364 The initial read block size, the number of bytes this module will try
365 to read during each loop iteration. Each handle object will consume
366 at least this amount of memory for the read buffer as well, so when
367 handling many connections watch out for memory requirements). See also
368 C<max_read_size>. Default: C<2048>.
369
370 =item max_read_size => <bytes>
371
372 The maximum read buffer size used by the dynamic adjustment
373 algorithm: Each time AnyEvent::Handle can read C<read_size> bytes in
374 one go it will double C<read_size> up to the maximum given by this
375 option. Default: C<131072> or C<read_size>, whichever is higher.
376
377 =item low_water_mark => <bytes>
378
379 Sets the number of bytes (default: C<0>) that make up an "empty" write
380 buffer: If the buffer reaches this size or gets even samller it is
381 considered empty.
382
383 Sometimes it can be beneficial (for performance reasons) to add data to
384 the write buffer before it is fully drained, but this is a rare case, as
385 the operating system kernel usually buffers data as well, so the default
386 is good in almost all cases.
387
388 =item linger => <seconds>
389
390 If this is non-zero (default: C<3600>), the destructor of the
391 AnyEvent::Handle object will check whether there is still outstanding
392 write data and will install a watcher that will write this data to the
393 socket. No errors will be reported (this mostly matches how the operating
394 system treats outstanding data at socket close time).
395
396 This will not work for partial TLS data that could not be encoded
397 yet. This data will be lost. Calling the C<stoptls> method in time might
398 help.
399
400 =item peername => $string
401
402 A string used to identify the remote site - usually the DNS hostname
403 (I<not> IDN!) used to create the connection, rarely the IP address.
404
405 Apart from being useful in error messages, this string is also used in TLS
406 peername verification (see C<verify_peername> in L<AnyEvent::TLS>). This
407 verification will be skipped when C<peername> is not specified or is
408 C<undef>.
409
410 =item tls => "accept" | "connect" | Net::SSLeay::SSL object
411
412 When this parameter is given, it enables TLS (SSL) mode, that means
413 AnyEvent will start a TLS handshake as soon as the connection has been
414 established and will transparently encrypt/decrypt data afterwards.
415
416 All TLS protocol errors will be signalled as C<EPROTO>, with an
417 appropriate error message.
418
419 TLS mode requires Net::SSLeay to be installed (it will be loaded
420 automatically when you try to create a TLS handle): this module doesn't
421 have a dependency on that module, so if your module requires it, you have
422 to add the dependency yourself.
423
424 Unlike TCP, TLS has a server and client side: for the TLS server side, use
425 C<accept>, and for the TLS client side of a connection, use C<connect>
426 mode.
427
428 You can also provide your own TLS connection object, but you have
429 to make sure that you call either C<Net::SSLeay::set_connect_state>
430 or C<Net::SSLeay::set_accept_state> on it before you pass it to
431 AnyEvent::Handle. Also, this module will take ownership of this connection
432 object.
433
434 At some future point, AnyEvent::Handle might switch to another TLS
435 implementation, then the option to use your own session object will go
436 away.
437
438 B<IMPORTANT:> since Net::SSLeay "objects" are really only integers,
439 passing in the wrong integer will lead to certain crash. This most often
440 happens when one uses a stylish C<< tls => 1 >> and is surprised about the
441 segmentation fault.
442
443 Use the C<< ->starttls >> method if you need to start TLS negotiation later.
444
445 =item tls_ctx => $anyevent_tls
446
447 Use the given C<AnyEvent::TLS> object to create the new TLS connection
448 (unless a connection object was specified directly). If this
449 parameter is missing (or C<undef>), then AnyEvent::Handle will use
450 C<AnyEvent::Handle::TLS_CTX>.
451
452 Instead of an object, you can also specify a hash reference with C<< key
453 => value >> pairs. Those will be passed to L<AnyEvent::TLS> to create a
454 new TLS context object.
455
456 =item on_starttls => $cb->($handle, $success[, $error_message])
457
458 This callback will be invoked when the TLS/SSL handshake has finished. If
459 C<$success> is true, then the TLS handshake succeeded, otherwise it failed
460 (C<on_stoptls> will not be called in this case).
461
462 The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
463 callback, even when the handshake was not successful.
464
465 TLS handshake failures will not cause C<on_error> to be invoked when this
466 callback is in effect, instead, the error message will be passed to C<on_starttls>.
467
468 Without this callback, handshake failures lead to C<on_error> being
469 called as usual.
470
471 Note that you cannot just call C<starttls> again in this callback. If you
472 need to do that, start an zero-second timer instead whose callback can
473 then call C<< ->starttls >> again.
474
475 =item on_stoptls => $cb->($handle)
476
477 When a SSLv3/TLS shutdown/close notify/EOF is detected and this callback is
478 set, then it will be invoked after freeing the TLS session. If it is not,
479 then a TLS shutdown condition will be treated like a normal EOF condition
480 on the handle.
481
482 The session in C<< $handle->{tls} >> can still be examined in this
483 callback.
484
485 This callback will only be called on TLS shutdowns, not when the
486 underlying handle signals EOF.
487
488 =item json => JSON or JSON::XS object
489
490 This is the json coder object used by the C<json> read and write types.
491
492 If you don't supply it, then AnyEvent::Handle will create and use a
493 suitable one (on demand), which will write and expect UTF-8 encoded JSON
494 texts.
495
496 Note that you are responsible to depend on the JSON module if you want to
497 use this functionality, as AnyEvent does not have a dependency itself.

877
878 AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
879 for reading.
880
881 The write queue is very simple: you can add data to its end, and
882 AnyEvent::Handle will automatically try to get rid of it for you.
883
884 When data could be written and the write buffer is shorter then the low
885 water mark, the C<on_drain> callback will be invoked.

992 Instead of formatting your data yourself, you can also let this module
993 do the job by specifying a type and type-specific arguments. You

995 case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
996 C<anyevent_write_type> function inside (see "custom write types", below).

1014 };
1015
1016 =item packstring => $format, $data
1017
1018 An octet string prefixed with an encoded length. The encoding C<$format>
1019 uses the same format as a Perl C<pack> format, but must specify a single
1020 integer only (only one of C<cCsSlLqQiInNvVjJw> is allowed, plus an
1021 optional C<!>, C<< < >> or C<< > >> modifier).
1022
1023 =cut
1024
1025 register_write_type packstring => sub {
1026 my ($self, $format, $string) = @_;
1027
1028 pack "$format/a*", $string
1029 };
1030
1031 =item json => $array_or_hashref
1032
1033 Encodes the given hash or array reference into a JSON object. Unless you
1034 provide your own JSON object, this means it will be encoded to JSON text
1035 in UTF-8.
1036
1037 JSON objects (and arrays) are self-delimiting, so you can write JSON at
1038 one end of a handle and read them at the other end without using any
1039 additional framing.
1040
1041 The generated JSON text is guaranteed not to contain any newlines: While
1042 this module doesn't need delimiters after or between JSON texts to be
1043 able to read them, many other languages depend on that.
1044
1045 A simple RPC protocol that interoperates easily with others is to send
1046 JSON arrays (or objects, although arrays are usually the better choice as
1047 they mimic how function argument passing works) and a newline after each
1048 JSON text:
1049
1050 $handle->push_write (json => ["method", "arg1", "arg2"]); # whatever
1051 $handle->push_write ("\012");
1052
1053 An AnyEvent::Handle receiver would simply use the C<json> read type and
1054 rely on the fact that the newline will be skipped as leading whitespace:
1055
1056 $handle->push_read (json => sub { my $array = $_[1]; ... });
1057
1058 Other languages could read single lines terminated by a newline and pass
1059 this line into their JSON decoder of choice.

1092
1093 =item $handle->push_shutdown
1094
1095 Sometimes you know you want to close the socket after writing your data
1096 before it was actually written. One way to do that is to replace your
1097 C<on_drain> handler by a callback that shuts down the socket (and set
1098 C<low_water_mark> to C<0>). This method is a shorthand for just that, and
1099 replaces the C<on_drain> callback with:
1100
1101 sub { shutdown $_[0]{fh}, 1 }
1102
1103 This simply shuts down the write side and signals an EOF condition to the
1104 the peer.
1105
1106 You can rely on the normal read queue and C<on_eof> handling
1107 afterwards. This is the cleanest way to close a connection.
1108
1109 This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1110 destroyed after it returns).
1111
1112 =cut
1113
1114 sub push_shutdown {
1115 my ($self) = @_;

1117 delete $self->{low_water_mark};

1119 }
1120
1121 =item custom write types - Package::anyevent_write_type $handle, @args
1122
1123 Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name of
1124 a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to find
1125 a function named C<anyevent_write_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1126 progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1127 function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1128
1129 Whenever the given C<type> is used, C<push_write> will the function with
1130 the handle object and the remaining arguments.
1131
1132 The function is supposed to return a single octet string that will be
1133 appended to the write buffer, so you can mentally treat this function as a
1134 "arguments to on-the-wire-format" converter.
1135
1136 Example: implement a custom write type C<join> that joins the remaining
1137 arguments using the first one.
1138
1139 $handle->push_write (My::Type => " ", 1,2,3);
1140
1141 # uses the following package, which can be defined in the "My::Type" or in
1142 # the "My" modules to be auto-loaded, or just about anywhere when the
1143 # My::Type::anyevent_write_type is defined before invoking it.

1159 =head2 READ QUEUE
1160
1161 AnyEvent::Handle manages two queues per handle, one for writing and one
1162 for reading.
1163
1164 The read queue is more complex than the write queue. It can be used in two
1165 ways, the "simple" way, using only C<on_read> and the "complex" way, using
1166 a queue.
1167
1168 In the simple case, you just install an C<on_read> callback and whenever
1169 new data arrives, it will be called. You can then remove some data (if
1170 enough is there) from the read buffer (C<< $handle->rbuf >>). Or you can
1171 leave the data there if you want to accumulate more (e.g. when only a
1172 partial message has been received so far), or change the read queue with
1173 e.g. C<push_read>.
1174
1175 In the more complex case, you want to queue multiple callbacks. In this
1176 case, AnyEvent::Handle will call the first queued callback each time new
1177 data arrives (also the first time it is queued) and remove it when it has
1178 done its job (see C<push_read>, below).
1179
1180 This way you can, for example, push three line-reads, followed by reading
1181 a chunk of data, and AnyEvent::Handle will execute them in order.
1182
1183 Example 1: EPP protocol parser. EPP sends 4 byte length info, followed by
1184 the specified number of bytes which give an XML datagram.
1185
1186 # in the default state, expect some header bytes
1187 $handle->on_read (sub {
1188 # some data is here, now queue the length-header-read (4 octets)
1189 shift->unshift_read (chunk => 4, sub {
1190 # header arrived, decode
1191 my $len = unpack "N", $_[1];
1192
1193 # now read the payload
1194 shift->unshift_read (chunk => $len, sub {
1195 my $xml = $_[1];
1196 # handle xml
1197 });
1198 });
1199 });
1200
1201 Example 2: Implement a client for a protocol that replies either with "OK"
1202 and another line or "ERROR" for the first request that is sent, and 64
1203 bytes for the second request. Due to the availability of a queue, we can
1204 just pipeline sending both requests and manipulate the queue as necessary
1205 in the callbacks.
1206
1207 When the first callback is called and sees an "OK" response, it will
1208 C<unshift> another line-read. This line-read will be queued I<before> the
1209 64-byte chunk callback.
1210
1211 # request one, returns either "OK + extra line" or "ERROR"
1212 $handle->push_write ("request 1\015\012");
1213
1214 # we expect "ERROR" or "OK" as response, so push a line read
1215 $handle->push_read (line => sub {
1216 # if we got an "OK", we have to _prepend_ another line,
1217 # so it will be read before the second request reads its 64 bytes
1218 # which are already in the queue when this callback is called
1219 # we don't do this in case we got an error
1220 if ($_[1] eq "OK") {
1221 $_[0]->unshift_read (line => sub {
1222 my $response = $_[1];
1223 ...
1224 });
1225 }
1226 });
1227
1228 # request two, simply returns 64 octets
1229 $handle->push_write ("request 2\015\012");

1315 the new callback is C<undef>). See the description of C<on_read> in the

1332 Returns the read buffer (as a modifiable lvalue). You can also access the
1333 read buffer directly as the C<< ->{rbuf} >> member, if you want (this is
1334 much faster, and no less clean).
1335
1336 The only operation allowed on the read buffer (apart from looking at it)
1337 is removing data from its beginning. Otherwise modifying or appending to
1338 it is not allowed and will lead to hard-to-track-down bugs.
1339
1340 NOTE: The read buffer should only be used or modified in the C<on_read>
1341 callback or when C<push_read> or C<unshift_read> are used with a single
1342 callback (i.e. untyped). Typed C<push_read> and C<unshift_read> methods

1355 Append the given callback to the end of the queue (C<push_read>) or
1356 prepend it (C<unshift_read>).
1357
1358 The callback is called each time some additional read data arrives.
1359
1360 It must check whether enough data is in the read buffer already.
1361
1362 If not enough data is available, it must return the empty list or a false
1363 value, in which case it will be called repeatedly until enough data is
1364 available (or an error condition is detected).
1365
1366 If enough data was available, then the callback must remove all data it is
1367 interested in (which can be none at all) and return a true value. After returning
1368 true, it will be removed from the queue.
1369

1417 Instead of providing a callback that parses the data itself you can chose
1418 between a number of predefined parsing formats, for chunks of data, lines
1419 etc. You can also specify the (fully qualified) name of a package, in
1420 which case AnyEvent tries to load the package and then expects to find the
1421 C<anyevent_read_type> function inside (see "custom read types", below).

1432 data.

1453
1454 The callback will be called only once a full line (including the end of
1455 line marker, C<$eol>) has been read. This line (excluding the end of line
1456 marker) will be passed to the callback as second argument (C<$line>), and
1457 the end of line marker as the third argument (C<$eol>).
1458
1459 The end of line marker, C<$eol>, can be either a string, in which case it
1460 will be interpreted as a fixed record end marker, or it can be a regex
1461 object (e.g. created by C<qr>), in which case it is interpreted as a
1462 regular expression.
1463
1464 The end of line marker argument C<$eol> is optional, if it is missing (NOT
1465 undef), then C<qr|\015?\012|> is used (which is good for most internet
1466 protocols).

1497 =item regex => $accept[, $reject[, $skip], $cb->($handle, $data)
1498
1499 Makes a regex match against the regex object C<$accept> and returns
1500 everything up to and including the match.
1501
1502 Example: read a single line terminated by '\n'.
1503
1504 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<\n>, sub { ... });
1505
1506 If C<$reject> is given and not undef, then it determines when the data is
1507 to be rejected: it is matched against the data when the C<$accept> regex
1508 does not match and generates an C<EBADMSG> error when it matches. This is
1509 useful to quickly reject wrong data (to avoid waiting for a timeout or a
1510 receive buffer overflow).
1511
1512 Example: expect a single decimal number followed by whitespace, reject
1513 anything else (not the use of an anchor).
1514
1515 $handle->push_read (regex => qr<^[0-9]+\s>, qr<[^0-9]>, sub { ... });
1516
1517 If C<$skip> is given and not C<undef>, then it will be matched against
1518 the receive buffer when neither C<$accept> nor C<$reject> match,
1519 and everything preceding and including the match will be accepted
1520 unconditionally. This is useful to skip large amounts of data that you
1521 know cannot be matched, so that the C<$accept> or C<$reject> regex do not
1522 have to start matching from the beginning. This is purely an optimisation
1523 and is usually worth it only when you expect more than a few kilobytes.
1524
1525 Example: expect a http header, which ends at C<\015\012\015\012>. Since we
1526 expect the header to be very large (it isn't in practice, but...), we use
1527 a skip regex to skip initial portions. The skip regex is tricky in that
1528 it only accepts something not ending in either \015 or \012, as these are
1529 required for the accept regex.

1651 Reads a JSON object or array, decodes it and passes it to the

1653
1654 If a C<json> object was passed to the constructor, then that will be used

1656
1657 This read type uses the incremental parser available with JSON version
1658 2.09 (and JSON::XS version 2.2) and above. You have to provide a
1659 dependency on your own: this module will load the JSON module, but
1660 AnyEvent does not depend on it itself.

1750 =item custom read types - Package::anyevent_read_type $handle, $cb, @args
1751
1752 Instead of one of the predefined types, you can also specify the name
1753 of a package. AnyEvent will try to load the package and then expects to
1754 find a function named C<anyevent_read_type> inside. If it isn't found, it
1755 progressively tries to load the parent package until it either finds the
1756 function (good) or runs out of packages (bad).
1757
1758 Whenever this type is used, C<push_read> will invoke the function with the
1759 handle object, the original callback and the remaining arguments.
1760
1761 The function is supposed to return a callback (usually a closure) that
1762 works as a plain read callback (see C<< ->push_read ($cb) >>), so you can
1763 mentally treat the function as a "configurable read type to read callback"
1764 converter.
1765
1766 It should invoke the original callback when it is done reading (remember
1767 to pass C<$handle> as first argument as all other callbacks do that,
1768 although there is no strict requirement on this).
1769
1770 For examples, see the source of this module (F<perldoc -m
1771 AnyEvent::Handle>, search for C<register_read_type>)).
1772
1773 =item $handle->stop_read
1774
1775 =item $handle->start_read
1776
1777 In rare cases you actually do not want to read anything from the
1778 socket. In this case you can call C<stop_read>. Neither C<on_read> nor
1779 any queued callbacks will be executed then. To start reading again, call
1780 C<start_read>.
1781
1782 Note that AnyEvent::Handle will automatically C<start_read> for you when
1783 you change the C<on_read> callback or push/unshift a read callback, and it
1784 will automatically C<stop_read> for you when neither C<on_read> is set nor
1785 there are any read requests in the queue.
1786
1787 In older versions of this module (<= 5.3), these methods had no effect,
1788 as TLS does not support half-duplex connections. In current versions they
1789 work as expected, as this behaviour is required to avoid certain resource
1790 attacks, where the program would be forced to read (and buffer) arbitrary
1791 amounts of data before being able to send some data. The drawback is that
1792 some readings of the the SSL/TLS specifications basically require this
1793 attack to be working, as SSL/TLS implementations might stall sending data
1794 during a rehandshake.
1795
1796 As a guideline, during the initial handshake, you should not stop reading,
1797 and as a client, it might cause problems, depending on your application.

1928
1929 Instead of starting TLS negotiation immediately when the AnyEvent::Handle
1930 object is created, you can also do that at a later time by calling
1931 C<starttls>.
1932
1933 Starting TLS is currently an asynchronous operation - when you push some
1934 write data and then call C<< ->starttls >> then TLS negotiation will start
1935 immediately, after which the queued write data is then sent.
1936
1937 The first argument is the same as the C<tls> constructor argument (either
1938 C<"connect">, C<"accept"> or an existing Net::SSLeay object).
1939
1940 The second argument is the optional C<AnyEvent::TLS> object that is used
1941 when AnyEvent::Handle has to create its own TLS connection object, or
1942 a hash reference with C<< key => value >> pairs that will be used to
1943 construct a new context.
1944
1945 The TLS connection object will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>, the TLS
1946 context in C<< $handle->{tls_ctx} >> after this call and can be used or
1947 changed to your liking. Note that the handshake might have already started
1948 when this function returns.
1949
1950 Due to bugs in OpenSSL, it might or might not be possible to do multiple
1951 handshakes on the same stream. It is best to not attempt to use the
1952 stream after stopping TLS.
1953
1954 This method may invoke callbacks (and therefore the handle might be
1955 destroyed after it returns).

2106 =item $handle->destroy
2107
2108 Shuts down the handle object as much as possible - this call ensures that
2109 no further callbacks will be invoked and as many resources as possible
2110 will be freed. Any method you will call on the handle object after
2111 destroying it in this way will be silently ignored (and it will return the
2112 empty list).
2113
2114 Normally, you can just "forget" any references to an AnyEvent::Handle
2115 object and it will simply shut down. This works in fatal error and EOF
2116 callbacks, as well as code outside. It does I<NOT> work in a read or write
2117 callback, so when you want to destroy the AnyEvent::Handle object from
2118 within such an callback. You I<MUST> call C<< ->destroy >> explicitly in
2119 that case.
2120
2121 Destroying the handle object in this way has the advantage that callbacks
2122 will be removed as well, so if those are the only reference holders (as
2123 is common), then one doesn't need to do anything special to break any
2124 reference cycles.
2125
2126 The handle might still linger in the background and write out remaining
2127 data, as specified by the C<linger> option, however.

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

2191
2192 =item I C<undef> the AnyEvent::Handle reference inside my callback and
2193 still get further invocations!
2194
2195 That's because AnyEvent::Handle keeps a reference to itself when handling
2196 read or write callbacks.
2197
2198 It is only safe to "forget" the reference inside EOF or error callbacks,
2199 from within all other callbacks, you need to explicitly call the C<<
2200 ->destroy >> method.
2201
2202 =item Why is my C<on_eof> callback never called?
2203
2204 Probably because your C<on_error> callback is being called instead: When
2205 you have outstanding requests in your read queue, then an EOF is
2206 considered an error as you clearly expected some data.
2207
2208 To avoid this, make sure you have an empty read queue whenever your handle
2209 is supposed to be "idle" (i.e. connection closes are O.K.). You can set
2210 an C<on_read> handler that simply pushes the first read requests in the
2211 queue.
2212
2213 See also the next question, which explains this in a bit more detail.
2214
2215 =item How can I serve requests in a loop?
2216
2217 Most protocols consist of some setup phase (authentication for example)
2218 followed by a request handling phase, where the server waits for requests
2219 and handles them, in a loop.
2220
2221 There are two important variants: The first (traditional, better) variant
2222 handles requests until the server gets some QUIT command, causing it to
2223 close the connection first (highly desirable for a busy TCP server). A
2224 client dropping the connection is an error, which means this variant can
2225 detect an unexpected detection close.
2226
2227 To handle this case, always make sure you have a on-empty read queue, by
2228 pushing the "read request start" handler on it:
2229
2230 # we assume a request starts with a single line
2231 my @start_request; @start_request = (line => sub {
2232 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2233
2234 ... handle request
2235
2236 # push next request read, possibly from a nested callback
2237 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2238 });
2239
2240 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2241 # now push the first @start_request
2242 $hdl->push_read (@start_request);
2243
2244 By always having an outstanding C<push_read>, the handle always expects
2245 some data and raises the C<EPIPE> error when the connction is dropped
2246 unexpectedly.
2247
2248 The second variant is a protocol where the client can drop the connection
2249 at any time. For TCP, this means that the server machine may run out of
2250 sockets easier, and in general, it means you cannot distinguish a protocl
2251 failure/client crash from a normal connection close. Nevertheless, these
2252 kinds of protocols are common (and sometimes even the best solution to the
2253 problem).
2254
2255 Having an outstanding read request at all times is possible if you ignore
2256 C<EPIPE> errors, but this doesn't help with when the client drops the
2257 connection during a request, which would still be an error.
2258
2259 A better solution is to push the initial request read in an C<on_read>
2260 callback. This avoids an error, as when the server doesn't expect data
2261 (i.e. is idly waiting for the next request, an EOF will not raise an
2262 error, but simply result in an C<on_eof> callback. It is also a bit slower
2263 and simpler:
2264
2265 # auth done, now go into request handling loop
2266 $hdl->on_read (sub {
2267 my ($hdl) = @_;
2268
2269 # called each time we receive data but the read queue is empty
2270 # simply start read the request
2271
2272 $hdl->push_read (line => sub {
2273 my ($hdl, $line) = @_;
2274
2275 ... handle request
2276
2277 # do nothing special when the request has been handled, just
2278 # let the request queue go empty.
2279 });
2280 });
2281
2282 =item I get different callback invocations in TLS mode/Why can't I pause
2283 reading?
2284
2285 Unlike, say, TCP, TLS connections do not consist of two independent
2286 communication channels, one for each direction. Or put differently, the
2287 read and write directions are not independent of each other: you cannot
2288 write data unless you are also prepared to read, and vice versa.
2289
2290 This means that, in TLS mode, you might get C<on_error> or C<on_eof>
2291 callback invocations when you are not expecting any read data - the reason
2292 is that AnyEvent::Handle always reads in TLS mode.
2293
2294 During the connection, you have to make sure that you always have a
2295 non-empty read-queue, or an C<on_read> watcher. At the end of the
2296 connection (or when you no longer want to use it) you can call the
2297 C<destroy> method.
2298
2299 =item How do I read data until the other side closes the connection?
2300
2301 If you just want to read your data into a perl scalar, the easiest way
2302 to achieve this is by setting an C<on_read> callback that does nothing,
2303 clearing the C<on_eof> callback and in the C<on_error> callback, the data
2304 will be in C<$_[0]{rbuf}>:
2305
2306 $handle->on_read (sub { });
2307 $handle->on_eof (undef);
2308 $handle->on_error (sub {
2309 my $data = delete $_[0]{rbuf};
2310 });
2311
2312 Note that this example removes the C<rbuf> member from the handle object,
2313 which is not normally allowed by the API. It is expressly permitted in
2314 this case only, as the handle object needs to be destroyed afterwards.
2315
2316 The reason to use C<on_error> is that TCP connections, due to latencies
2317 and packets loss, might get closed quite violently with an error, when in
2318 fact all data has been received.
2319
2320 It is usually better to use acknowledgements when transferring data,
2321 to make sure the other side hasn't just died and you got the data
2322 intact. This is also one reason why so many internet protocols have an
2323 explicit QUIT command.
2324
2325 =item I don't want to destroy the handle too early - how do I wait until
2326 all data has been written?
2327
2328 After writing your last bits of data, set the C<on_drain> callback
2329 and destroy the handle in there - with the default setting of
2330 C<low_water_mark> this will be called precisely when all data has been
2331 written to the socket:
2332
2333 $handle->push_write (...);
2334 $handle->on_drain (sub {
2335 AE::log debug => "all data submitted to the kernel\n";
2336 undef $handle;
2337 });
2338
2339 If you just want to queue some data and then signal EOF to the other side,
2340 consider using C<< ->push_shutdown >> instead.
2341
2342 =item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I don't care about security.
2343
2344 If your TLS server is a pure TLS server (e.g. HTTPS) that only speaks TLS,
2345 connect to it and then create the AnyEvent::Handle with the C<tls>
2346 parameter:
2347
2348 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2349 my ($fh) = @_;
2350
2351 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2352 fh => $fh,
2353 tls => "connect",
2354 on_error => sub { ... };
2355
2356 $handle->push_write (...);
2357 };
2358
2359 =item I want to contact a TLS/SSL server, I do care about security.
2360
2361 Then you should additionally enable certificate verification, including
2362 peername verification, if the protocol you use supports it (see
2363 L<AnyEvent::TLS>, C<verify_peername>).
2364
2365 E.g. for HTTPS:
2366
2367 tcp_connect $host, $port, sub {
2368 my ($fh) = @_;
2369
2370 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2371 fh => $fh,
2372 peername => $host,
2373 tls => "connect",
2374 tls_ctx => { verify => 1, verify_peername => "https" },
2375 ...
2376
2377 Note that you must specify the hostname you connected to (or whatever
2378 "peername" the protocol needs) as the C<peername> argument, otherwise no
2379 peername verification will be done.
2380
2381 The above will use the system-dependent default set of trusted CA
2382 certificates. If you want to check against a specific CA, add the
2383 C<ca_file> (or C<ca_cert>) arguments to C<tls_ctx>:
2384
2385 tls_ctx => {
2386 verify => 1,
2387 verify_peername => "https",
2388 ca_file => "my-ca-cert.pem",
2389 },
2390
2391 =item I want to create a TLS/SSL server, how do I do that?
2392
2393 Well, you first need to get a server certificate and key. You have
2394 three options: a) ask a CA (buy one, use cacert.org etc.) b) create a
2395 self-signed certificate (cheap. check the search engine of your choice,
2396 there are many tutorials on the net) or c) make your own CA (tinyca2 is a
2397 nice program for that purpose).
2398
2399 Then create a file with your private key (in PEM format, see
2400 L<AnyEvent::TLS>), followed by the certificate (also in PEM format). The
2401 file should then look like this:
2402
2403 -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2404 ...header data
2405 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2406 -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
2407
2408 -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
2409 ... lots of base64'y-stuff
2410 -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2411
2412 The important bits are the "PRIVATE KEY" and "CERTIFICATE" parts. Then
2413 specify this file as C<cert_file>:
2414
2415 tcp_server undef, $port, sub {
2416 my ($fh) = @_;
2417
2418 my $handle = new AnyEvent::Handle
2419 fh => $fh,
2420 tls => "accept",
2421 tls_ctx => { cert_file => "my-server-keycert.pem" },
2422 ...
2423
2424 When you have intermediate CA certificates that your clients might not
2425 know about, just append them to the C<cert_file>.

2430 =head1 SUBCLASSING AnyEvent::Handle
2431
2432 In many cases, you might want to subclass AnyEvent::Handle.
2433
2434 To make this easier, a given version of AnyEvent::Handle uses these
2435 conventions:
2436
2437 =over 4
2438
2439 =item * all constructor arguments become object members.
2440
2441 At least initially, when you pass a C<tls>-argument to the constructor it
2442 will end up in C<< $handle->{tls} >>. Those members might be changed or
2443 mutated later on (for example C<tls> will hold the TLS connection object).
2444
2445 =item * other object member names are prefixed with an C<_>.
2446
2447 All object members not explicitly documented (internal use) are prefixed
2448 with an underscore character, so the remaining non-C<_>-namespace is free
2449 for use for subclasses.
2450
2451 =item * all members not documented here and not prefixed with an underscore
2452 are free to use in subclasses.
2453
2454 Of course, new versions of AnyEvent::Handle may introduce more "public"
2455 member variables, but that's just life. At least it is documented.
