NAME

Net::Async::HTTP::Server - serve HTTP with IO::Async

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Async::HTTP::Server;
use IO::Async::Loop;

use HTTP::Response;

my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new();

my $httpserver = Net::Async::HTTP::Server->new(
   on_request => sub {
      my $self = shift;
      my ( $req ) = @_;

      my $response = HTTP::Response->new( 200 );
      $response->add_content( "Hello, world!\n" );
      $response->content_type( "text/plain" );

      $req->respond( $response );
   },
);

$loop->add( $httpserver );

$httpserver->listen(
   addr => { family => "inet6", socktype => "stream", port => 8080 },
   on_listen_error => sub { die "Cannot listen - $_[-1]\n" },
);

$loop->run;

DESCRIPTION

This module allows a program to respond asynchronously to HTTP requests, as part of a program based on IO::Async. An object in this class listens on a single port and invokes the on_request callback or subclass method whenever an HTTP request is received, allowing the program to respond to it.

EVENTS

on_request $req

Invoked when a new HTTP request is received. It will be passed a Net::Async::HTTP::Server::Request object.

TODO

• Don't use HTTP::Message objects as underlying implementation

• Consider how to do streaming request inbound

• PSGI app container

• Lots more testing
