NAME

Mojo::Server::Daemon - Non-blocking I/O HTTP and WebSocket server

SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
use Mojo::Server::Daemon;
my $daemon = Mojo::Server::Daemon->new(listen => ['http://*:8080']);
$daemon->unsubscribe('request')->on(request => sub ($daemon, $tx) {
  # Request
  my $method = $tx->req->method;
  my $path   = $tx->req->url->path;
  # Response
  $tx->res->code(200);
  $tx->res->headers->content_type('text/plain');
  $tx->res->body("$method request for $path!");
  # Resume transaction
  $tx->resume;
});
$daemon->run;

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::Server::Daemon is a full featured, highly portable non-blocking I/O HTTP and WebSocket server, with IPv6, TLS, SNI, Comet (long polling), keep-alive and multiple event loop support.

For better scalability (epoll, kqueue) and to provide non-blocking name resolution, SOCKS5 as well as TLS support, the optional modules EV (4.32+), Net::DNS::Native (0.15+), IO::Socket::Socks (0.64+) and IO::Socket::SSL (2.009+) will be used automatically if possible. Individual features can also be disabled with the MOJO_NO_NNR, MOJO_NO_SOCKS and MOJO_NO_TLS environment variables.

See "DEPLOYMENT" in Mojolicious::Guides::Cookbook for more.

SIGNALS

The Mojo::Server::Daemon process can be controlled at runtime with the following signals.

INT, TERM

Shut down server immediately.

EVENTS

Mojo::Server::Daemon inherits all events from Mojo::Server.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::Server::Daemon inherits all attributes from Mojo::Server and implements the following new ones.

acceptors


            

              
              
my $acceptors = $daemon->acceptors;
$daemon       = $daemon->acceptors(['6be0c140ef00a389c5d039536b56d139']);

Active acceptor ids.


            

              
              
# Check port
mu $port = $daemon->ioloop->acceptor($daemon->acceptors->[0])->port;

backlog


            

              
              
my $backlog = $daemon->backlog;
$daemon     = $daemon->backlog(128);

Listen backlog size, defaults to SOMAXCONN.

inactivity_timeout


            

              
              
my $timeout = $daemon->inactivity_timeout;
$daemon     = $daemon->inactivity_timeout(5);

Maximum amount of time in seconds a connection with an active request can be inactive before getting closed, defaults to the value of the MOJO_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT environment variable or 30. Setting the value to 0 will allow connections to be inactive indefinitely.

ioloop


            

              
              
my $loop = $daemon->ioloop;
$daemon  = $daemon->ioloop(Mojo::IOLoop->new);

my $timeout = $daemon->keep_alive_timeout;
$daemon     = $daemon->keep_alive_timeout(10);

Maximum amount of time in seconds a connection without an active request can be inactive before getting closed, defaults to the value of the MOJO_KEEP_ALIVE_TIMEOUT environment variable or 5. Setting the value to 0 will allow connections to be inactive indefinitely.
