=head1 NAME
Net::Server::Multiplex - Multiplex several connections within one process
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package MyPlexer;
use base qw(Net::Server::Multiplex);
sub mux_input {
#...code...
}
__PACKAGE__->run();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This personality is designed to handle multiple connections all within
one process. It should only be used with protocols that are
guaranteed to be able to respond quickly on a packet by packet basis.
If determining a response could take a while or an unknown period of
time, all other connections established will block until the response
completes. If this condition might ever occur, this personality
should probably not be used.
This takes some nice features of Net::Server (like the server listen
socket setup, configuration file processing, safe signal handling,
convenient inet style STDIN/STDOUT handling, logging features,
deamonization and pid tracking, and restartability -SIGHUP) and some
nice features of IO::Multiplex (automatic buffered IO and
per-file-handle objects) and combines them for an easy-to-use
interace.
See examples/samplechat.pl distributed with Net::Server for a simple
chat server that uses several of these features.
=head1 PROCESS FLOW
The process flow is written in an open, easy to override, easy to
hook, fashion. The basic flow is shown below.
$self->configure_hook;
$self->configure(@_);
$self->post_configure;
$self->post_configure_hook;
$self->pre_bind;
$self->bind;
if (Restarting server) {
$self->restart_open_hook();
}
$self->post_bind_hook;
$self->post_bind;
$self->pre_loop_hook;
$self->loop; # This basically just runs IO::Multiplex::loop
# For routines inside a $self->loop
# See CLIENT PROCESSING below
$self->pre_server_close_hook;
$self->post_child_cleanup_hook;
$self->server_close;
if (Restarting server) {
$self->restart_close_hook();
$self->hup_server;
# Redo process again starting with configure_hook
}
The server then exits.
=head1 CLIENT PROCESSING
The following represents the client processing program flow:
$self->{server}->{client} = Net::Server::Proto::TCP->accept(); # NOTE: Multiplexed with mux_input() below
if (check_for_dequeue seconds have passed) {
$self->run_dequeue();
}
$self->get_client_info;
$self->post_accept_hook; # Net::Server style
if ($self->allow_deny
&& $self->allow_deny_hook) {
# (Net::Server style $self->process_request() is never called.)
# A unique client specific object is created
# for all mux_* methods from this point on.
$self = __PACKAGE__->new($self, client);
$self->mux_connection; # IO::Multiplex style
for (every packet received) {
$self->mux_input; # NOTE: Multiplexed with accept() above
}
} else {
$self->request_denied_hook;
# Notice that if either allow_deny or allow_deny_hook fails, then
# new(), mux_connection(), and mux_input() will never be called.
# mux_eof() and mux_close() will still be called, but using a
# common listen socket callback object instead of a unique client
# specific object.
}
$self->mux_eof;
$self->post_process_request_hook;
$self->mux_close;
This process then loops multiplexing between the accept() for the next
connection and mux_input() when input arrives to avoid blocking either
one.
=head1 HOOKS
The *_hook methods mentioned above are meant to be overridden with
your own subroutines if you desire to provide additional
functionality.
The loop() method of Net::Server has been overridden to run the loop
routine of IO::Multiplex instead. The Net::Server methods may access
the IO::Multiplex object at C<$self-E<gt>{mux}> if desired. The
IO::Multiplex methods may access the Net::Server object at
C<$self-E<gt>{net_server}> if desired.
The process_request() method is never used with this personality.
The other Net::Server hooks and methods should work the same.
=over 4
=item C<$self-E<gt>run_dequeue()>
This hook only gets called in conjunction with the check_for_dequeue
setting. It will run every check_for_dequeue seconds. Since no
forking is done, this hook should run fast in order to prevent
blocking the rest of the processing.
=back
=head1 TIMEOUTS
=head2 set_timeout
To utilize the optional timeout feature of IO::Multiplex, you need to
specify a timeout by using the set_timeout method.
$self->{net_server}->{mux}->set_timeout($fh, $seconds_from_now);
$fh may be either a client socket or a listen socket file descriptor
within the mux. $seconds_from_now may be fractional to achieve more
precise timeouts. This is used in conjunction with mux_timeout, which
you should define yourself.
=head2 mux_timeout
The main loop() routine will call $obj->mux_timeout($mux, $fh) when
the timeout specified in set_timeout is reached where $fh is the same
as the one specified in set_timeout() and $obj is its corresponding
object (either the unique client specific object or the main listen
callback object) and $mux is the main IO::Multiplex object itself.
=head1 CALLBACK INTERFACE
Callback objects should support the following interface. You do not
have to provide all of these methods, just provide the ones you are
interested in. These are just like the IO::Multiplex hooks except
that STDOUT is tied to the corresponding client socket handle for your
convenience and to more closely emulate the Net::Server model.
However, unlike some other Net::Server personalities, you should never
read directly from STDIN yourself. You should define one or more of
the following methods:
=head2 mux_connection ($mux,$fh)
(OPTIONAL) Run once when the client first connects if the allow_deny
passes. Note that the C<$self-E<gt>{net_server}-E<gt>{server}>
property hash may be modified by future connections through
Net::Server. Any values within it that this object may need to use
later should be copied within its own object at this point.
Example:
$self->{peerport} = $self->{net_server}->{server}->{peerport};
=head2 mux_input ($mux,$fh,\$data)
(REQUIRED) Run each time a packet is read. It should consume $data
starting at the left and leave unconsumed data in the scalar for
future calls to mux_input.
=head2 mux_eof ($mux,$fh,\$data)
(OPTIONAL) Run once when the client is done writing. It should
consume the rest of $data since mux_input() will never be run again.
=head2 mux_close ($mux,$fh)
(OPTIONAL) Run after the entire client socket has been closed. No
more attempts should be made to read or write to the client or to
STDOUT.
=head2 mux_timeout ($mux,$fh)
(OPTIONAL) Run once when the set_timeout setting expires as explained
above.
=head1 BUGS
This is only known to work with TCP servers.
If you need to use the IO::Multiplex style set_timeout / mux_timeout
interface, you cannot use the Net::Server style check_for_dequeue /
run_dequeue interface. It will not work if the check_for_dequeue
option is specified. The run_dequeue method is just a compatibility
interface to comply with the Net::Server::Fork style run_dequeue but
is implemented in terms of the IO::Multiplex style set_timeout and
mux_timeout methods.
