NAME

MojoX::HTTP::Async - simple package to execute multiple parallel requests to the same host

SYNOPSIS

    use MojoX::HTTP::Async ();
    use Mojo::Message::Request ();
    use Mojo::URL ();

    # creates new instance for async requests to the certain domain,
    # restricts max amount of simultaneously executed requests
    my $ua = MojoX::HTTP::Async->new('host' => 'my-site.com', 'slots' => 4);

    # let's fill slots
    $ua->add('/page1.html?lang=en');
    $ua->add('http://my-site.com/page2.html');
    $ua->add( Mojo::URL->new("/page/03.html") );
    $ua->add( Mojo::Message::Request->new() );

    # non-blocking requests processing
    while ( $ua->not_empty() ) {
        if (my $tx = $ua->next_response) { # returns an instance of Mojo::Transaction::HTTP class
            print $tx->res->headers->to_string;
        } else {
            # do something else
        }
    }

    # blocking requests processing while (my $tx =
    $ua->wait_for_next_response($timeout)) { # do something here }

    # how to process connect timeouts
    if (my $error = $tx->req()->error()) {
        say $error->{code};
        say $error->{message};
    }

    # how to process request timeouts and other errors sucn as broken pipes, etc
    if (my $error = $tx->res()->error()) {
        say $error->{code};
        say $error->{message};
    }

    # makes reconnection if either slot was timeouted or was inactive too long
    $ua->refresh_connections();

    # closes everything
    $ua->close_all();

DESCRIPTION

This library allows to make multiple HTTP/HTTPS request to the particular host in non-blocking mode.

In comparison with "HTTP::Async", this library doesn't make a new connection on each request.

And in comparison with "Mojo::AsyncAwait", it's more intuitive how
to use it, and there is no any Singleton restrictions.

The instance of this class can work only with one domain and scheme: either HTTP or HTTPS.

new($class, %opts)
The class constructor.
host
    It's the obligatory option.
    Sets the name/address of remote host to be requested.
port
    By default it's equal to 80. Sets the port number of remote point.
slots
    By default it's equal to 5. Sets the maximum amount of slots.
    These slot will be filled one by one if required.
ssl
    By default it's equal to 0 (means HTTP).
    Sets the scheme of requests: HTTP or HTTPS.
ssl_opts
    It's a HashRef with options to control SSL Layer.
    See the "IO::Socket::SSL" constructor arguments for details.
connect_timeout
    By default it's equal to 1.
    Sets connection timeout in seconds.

    If it's equal to 0, then there will be no timeout restrictions.
request_timeout
    By default it's equal to 1. Sets the time in seconds with granular
    accuracy as micro seconds.
    The awaiting time of response will be limited with this value.

    In case of 0 value there will be no time restrictions.
sol_socket
    It's a HashRef with socket options. THe possible keys are:

    so_keepalive
        Enables TCP KeepAlive on socket.
        The default value is 1 (means that option is enabled).
sol_tcp
    WARNING: These options can be unsupported on some OS platforms.

    It's a HashRef with socket TCP-options.

    If some key is absent in HashRef then system settings will be used.

    The supported keys are shown below:

    tcp_keepidle
        the time (in seconds) the connection needs to remain
        idle before TCP starts sending keepalive probes

    tcp_keepintvl
        the time (in seconds) between individual keepalive probes

    tcp_keepcnt
        the maximum number of keepalive probes TCP should send
        before dropping the connection.
inactivity_conn_ts
    If last response was received "inactivity_conn_ts" seconds or more
    ago, then such slots will be destroyed.

    By default the value is 0 (disabled).
debug
    Enables debug mode. The debug messages will be printed in STDERR.

    By default the value is 0 (disabled).
add ($self, $request_or_uri, $timeout = undef)
Adds HTTP request into empty slot.

If the request was successfully added, then it will return 1. Otherwise
it will return 0.

The request can be not added into slot only in case, if there are no
empty slots and new slot wasn't created due to the limit of slot's
amount had been reached (see "new" and "slots".

It's recommendable always to check result code of this method.

Example:
        my $ua = MojoX::HTTP::Async->new('host' => 'my-host.com', 'slots' => 1);

        # let's occupy the only slot
        $ua->add('/page1.html');

        # let's wait until it's become free again
        while ( ! $ua->add('/page2.html') ) {
            while (my $tx = $ua->wait_for_next_response() ) {
                # do something here
            }
        }
$request_or_uri
    It can be either an instance of "Mojo::Message::Request" class, or
    an instance of "Mojo::URL". It also can be a simple URI string.

    If the resource contains the host, then it must be the same as in
    the constructor "new".

    Using of string with URI or an instance of "Mojo::URL" class assumes
    that GET HTTP method will be used.
$timeout
    Time in seconds. Can be fractional with microseconds tolerance.

    The "request_timeout" from construcor will be used by default.
not_empty($self)
Returns 1 if there even one slot is busy or slot contains a not
processed response. Otherwise the method returns 0.
wait_for_next_response($self, $timeout = 0)
Waits for first received response or time-outed request in any slot.
Returns the "Mojo::Transaction::HTTP" instance with result.
$timeout
    Period of time in seconds. Can be fractional with microsecond
    tolerance. The response will be marked as time-outed after this time is out.

    The default value is 0, which means that request will have been
    blocked until the response is received.

    If all slots are empty, then "undef" will be returned.
next_response ($self)
Returns an instance of "Mojo::Transaction::HTTP" class. If there is no response, it will return "undef".
refresh_connections ($self)
Closes connections in slots in the following cases:

    1. The slot was marked as time-outed

    2. The "inactivity_conn_ts" was set and the connection was expired

    3. There are some errors in socket (for example: Connection reset by peer, Broken pipe, etc)

Returns the amount of made reconnections.
close_all ($self)
Closes all opened connections and resets all slots with requests.
DESTROY($self)
The class destructor.

Closes all opened sockets.
