NAME

Mojo::IOLoop::Server - Non-blocking TCP server

SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
use Mojo::IOLoop::Server;
# Create listen socket
my $server = Mojo::IOLoop::Server->new;
$server->on(accept => sub {
  my ($server, $handle) = @_;
  ...
});
$server->listen(port => 3000);
# Start and stop accepting connections
$server->start;
$server->stop;
# Start reactor if necessary
$server->reactor->start unless $server->reactor->is_running;

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::IOLoop::Server accepts TCP connections for Mojo::IOLoop.

EVENTS

Mojo::IOLoop::Server inherits all events from Mojo::EventEmitter and can emit the following new ones.

accept


            

              
              
$server->on(accept => sub {
  my ($server, $handle) = @_;
  ...
});

Emitted for each accepted connection.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojo::IOLoop::Server implements the following attributes.

multi_accept


            

              
              
my $multi = $server->multi_accept;
$server   = $server->multi_accept(100);

Number of connections to accept at once, defaults to 50.

reactor


            

              
              
my $reactor = $server->reactor;
$server     = $server->reactor(Mojo::Reactor::Poll->new);

Low-level event reactor, defaults to the reactor attribute value of the global Mojo::IOLoop singleton.

METHODS

Mojo::IOLoop::Server inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new ones.

generate_port


            

              
              
my $port = $server->generate_port;

Find a free TCP port, primarily used for tests.

handle


            

              
              
my $handle = $server->handle;

Get handle for server.

listen


            

              
              
$server->listen(port => 3000);

Create a new listen socket. Note that TLS support depends on IO::Socket::SSL (1.84+).

These options are currently available:

backlog

            

              
              
backlog => 128

Maximum backlog size, defaults to SOMAXCONN.

port

            

              
              
port => 80

Port to listen on, defaults to a random port.

reuse

            

              
              
reuse => 1

Allow multiple servers to use the same port with the SO_REUSEPORT socket option.

tls

            

              
              
tls => 1

Enable TLS.

tls_ca

            

              
              
tls_ca => '/etc/tls/ca.crt'

tls_cert

            

              
              
tls_cert => '/etc/tls/server.crt'

Path to the TLS cert file, defaults to a built-in test certificate.

tls_ciphers

            

              
              
tls_ciphers => 'AES128-GCM-SHA256:RC4:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!EDH'

Cipher specification string.

tls_key

            

              
              
tls_key => '/etc/tls/server.key'

Path to the TLS key file, defaults to a built-in test key.

tls_verify => 0x00

TLS verification mode, defaults to 0x03.

port


            

              
              
my $port = $server->port;

Get port this server is listening on.
