This module is an L<AnyEvent> user, you need to make sure that you use and |
| 12 |
|
|
run a supported event loop. |
| 13 |
|
|
|
| 14 |
root |
1.1 |
This module tries to make L<LWP|LWP> non-blocking with respect to other |
| 15 |
|
|
coroutines as much as possible, and with whatever means it takes. |
| 16 |
|
|
|
| 17 |
|
|
LWP really tries very hard to be blocking, so this module had to be very |
| 18 |
|
|
invasive and must be loaded very early to take the proper effect. |
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
Here is what it currently does (future versions of LWP might require |
| 21 |
|
|
different tricks): |
| 22 |
|
|
|
| 23 |
|
|
=over 4 |
| 24 |
|
|
|
| 25 |
|
|
=item It loads Coro::Select, overwriting the perl C<select> builtin I<globally>. |
| 26 |
|
|
|
| 27 |
|
|
This is necessary because LWP calls select quite often for timeouts and |
| 28 |
|
|
who-knows-what. |
| 29 |
|
|
|
| 30 |
|
|
Impact: everybody else uses this (slower) version of select, too. It should be quite |
| 31 |
|
|
compatible to perls builtin select, though. |
| 32 |
|
|
|
| 33 |
|
|
=item It overwrites Socket::inet_aton with Coro::Util::inet_aton. |
| 34 |
|
|
|
| 35 |
root |
1.2 |
This is necessary because LWP might (and does) try to resolve hostnames |
| 36 |
|
|
this way. |
| 37 |
root |
1.1 |
|
| 38 |
|
|
Impact: likely little, the two functions should be pretty equivalent. |
| 39 |
|
|
|
| 40 |
root |
1.2 |
=item It replaces the base class of Net::HTTP, Net::FTP, Net::NNTP. |
| 41 |
root |
1.1 |
|
| 42 |
root |
1.2 |
This is necessary because LWP does not always use select to see wether |
| 43 |
|
|
a filehandle can be read/written without blocking, so the base class |
| 44 |
|
|
C<IO::Socket::INET> needs to be replaced by C<Coro::Socket>. |
| 45 |
root |
1.1 |
|
| 46 |
|
|
Impact: Coro::Socket is not at all compatible to IO::Socket::INET. While |
| 47 |
|
|
it duplicates some undocumented functionality required by LWP, it does not |
| 48 |
|
|
have all the methods of IO::Socket::INET and might act quite differently |
| 49 |
root |
1.2 |
in practise. Also, protocols other than the above mentioned will still block, |
| 50 |
|
|
at least some of the time. |

All this likely makes other libraries than just LWP not block, but thats |
| 55 |
|
|
just a side effect you cannot rely on. |
| 56 |
|
|
|
| 57 |
|
|
Increases parallelism is not supported by all libraries, some might cache |
| 58 |
|
|
data globally. |
