NAME

HTTP::Server::EV - Asynchronous HTTP server written in C with request parser.

DESCRIPTION

HTTP::Server::EV - Asynchronous HTTP server using EV event loop. It doesn`t load files received in the POST request in memory as moust of CGI modules does, but stores them directly to tmp files, so it`s useful for handling large files without using a lot of memory.

INCLUDED MODULES

HTTP::Server::EV::CGI - received http request object

HTTP::Server::EV::MultipartFile - received file object

HTTP::Server::EV::Buffer - non blocking output

HTTP::Server::EV::BufTie - workaround for correct handling requests in Coro threads

HTTP::Server::EV::IO::AIO - Non-blocking disk IO.

HTTP::Server::EV::IO::Blocking - Blocking IO.

SYNOPSIS

use EV;
use Coro;
use HTTP::Server::EV;


my $server = HTTP::Server::EV->new;

$server->listen(90, sub {
	my $cgi = shift;
	
	$cgi->attach(*STDOUT);
	$cgi->header;

	print "Just another Perl server\n";
});

EV::run;

METHODS

new( { options } )

Options:

tmp_path

Directory for saving received files. Tries to create if not found, dies on fail. Default: ./upload_tmpfiles/

cleanup_on_destroy

Usually HTTP::Server::EV::CGI deletes tmp files on DESTROY, but it might by bug if you delete HTTP::Server::EV::CGI object when its files are still opened. Setting on this flag causes HTTP::Server::EV delete all files in tmp_path on program close, but don`t use it if jou have several process working with same tmp dir. Default: 0

backend

Seting on cause HTTP::Server::EV::CGI parse ip from X-Real-IP http header Default: 0

listen( port , sub {req_received_callback} , { optional parameters and multipart processing callbacks })

Binds callback to port. Calls callback and passes HTTP::Server::EV::CGI object in it. Returns HTTP::Server::EV::PortListener obeject, you can keep it and use to stop port listening.

$server->listen( 8080 , sub {
	my $cgi = shift;
	
	$cgi->attach(local *STDOUT); # attach STDOUT to socket
	
	$cgi->header; # print http headers to stdout
	
	print "Test page";
});




$server->listen( 8080 , sub {
	#req_received_callback
	my $cgi = shift;
	
	$cgi->attach(local *STDOUT); # attach STDOUT to socket
	
	$cgi->header; # print http headers to stdout
	
	print "Test page";
}, { 
	threading => 1, # run every req_received_callback in Coro thread. "use Coro;" first
	
	timeout => 1*60 , # server drops request if there is no activity on socket after "timeout" sec. 1min default. Set 0 to disable
	#This is for not fully received requests, received requests aren't affected and you can keep request object with socket as long as you need it.
	
	#multipart processing callbacks
	# you needn't specify all callbacks
	
	on_multipart => sub {
		my ($cgi) = @_;
		# called on multipart body receiving start
	},
	
	on_file_open => sub {
		my ($cgi, $multipart_file_obj ) = @_;
		# called on multipart file receiving start
	},
	
	on_file_write => sub {
		my ($cgi, $multipart_file_obj, $data_chunk ) = @_;
		# called when file part written to disk. 
		# useful for on flow calculting hashes like md5 
		# or just to know progress by reading  $multipart_file_obj->{size}
	},
	
	on_file_received => sub {
		my ($cgi, $multipart_file_obj) = @_;
		# called on file writing done
	},
	
	on_error => sub {
		my ($cgi) = @_;
		# called when server drops multipart post connection. 
		# also called when you manually reject connection by calling $cgi_obj->drop;
	}
	
});

cleanup

Delete all files in tmp_path. Automatically called on DESTROY if cleanup_on_destroy set

BUGS/WARNINGS

Static allocated buffers:

- 4kb for GET/POST form field names

- 4kb for GET values

- 50kb for POST form field values ( not for files. Files are stored into tmp directly from socket stream, so filesize not limited by HTTP::Server::EV)

HTTP::Server::EV drops connection if some buffer overflows. You can change these values in EV.xs and recompile module.
