NAME

AnyEvent::SCGI - Event based SCGI server

SYNOPSIS

A simple Hello World SCGI server running on port 22222:

    use AnyEvent::SCGI;
    use HTTP::Headers;

    my $s = scgi_server '127.0.0.1', 22222, sub {
        my $handle = shift;
        my $env = shift;
        my $content_ref = shift; # undef if none
        my $fatal_error = shift;
        my $error_string = shift;

        my $headers = HTTP::Headers->new(
            'Status' => '200 OK',
            'Content-Type' => 'text/plain',
            'Connection' => 'close',
        );

        $handle->push_write($headers->as_string . "\r\nHello World!\r\n");
        $handle->push_shutdown;
    }
    AnyEvent->condvar->recv;

DESCRIPTION

Sets up a SCGI server on the specified port. Can be used with or without "Coro". You are responsible for any daemonization and startup code.

The usual "AnyEvent" callback caveats apply; make sure you don't block or re-enter the event loop in a way that's not supported. This module has been tested for use with "Coro", but if you don't want to use that, it's recommended that you return from the callback as quickly as possible.

Using Coro

If you're using Coro, here's the supported calling pattern:

    use Coro;
    use Coro::AnyEvent;
    use AnyEvent;
    use AnyEvent::SCGI;

    my $s = scgi_server $server_name, $port, sub {
        my $handle = shift;
        my $env = shift;
        my $content = shift;

        # handle errors if any

        async { 
            my $stuff = expensive($content);
            $handle->push_write(
                $headers->as_string .
                "\r\nHello World!\r\n$stuff"
            );
            $handle->push_shutdown;
        };
        # return before running async block
    };
    AE::cv->recv;

FUNCTIONS

scgi_server $host, $port, $handler_cb

This function creates a TCP socket on the given host and port by calling "tcp_server()" from "AnyEvent::Socket".

Calls $handler_cb when a valid SCGI request has been received. The callback will block other clients until it returns.

$handler_cb->($handle,\%env,\$content,$fatal,$error)

The first parameter is the "AnyEvent::Handle" If the request has a payload, a reference to it is passed in as the $content parameter.

On error, "\%env" and "\$content" are undef and the usual $fatal and $error parameters are passed in as subsequent arguments. On "EOF" from the client, fatal is "0" and error is 'EOF'.
