NAME

Net::Server::Coro - A co-operative multithreaded server using Coro

SYNOPSIS

    use Coro;
    use base qw/Net::Server::Coro/;

    __PACKAGE__->new->run;

    sub process_request {
       ...
       cede;
       ...
    }

DESCRIPTION

Net::Server::Coro implements multithreaded server for the Net::Server architecture, using Coro and Coro::Socket to make all reads and writes non-blocking. Additionally, it supports non-blocking SSL negotiation.

METHODS

Most methods are inherited from Net::Server -- see it for further usage details.

new

Create new Net::Server::Coro object. It accepts these parameters (in addition to Net::Server parameters):

server_cert: Path to the SSL certificate that the server should use. This can be either relative or absolute path. Defaults to certs/server-cert.pem
server_key: Path to the SSL certificate key that the server should use. This can be either relative or absolute path. Defaults to certs/server-key.pem

proto_object HOST, PORT, PROTO

Wraps socket creation, turning all socket types into Net::Server::Proto::Coro objects.

loop

The main loop uses starts a number of Coro coroutines:

One for each listening socket.
One for each active connection. Since these may respawn on a firlay frequent basis, "async_pool" in Coro is used to maintain a pool of coroutines.
An AnyEvent infinite wait, which equates to the "run the event loop."

server_cert [PATH]

Gets or sets the path of the SSL certificate used by the server.

server_key [PATH]

Gets or sets the path of the SSL key file used by the server.

DEPENDENCIES

Coro, AnyEvent, Net::Server

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

The client filehandle, socket, and peer information all use Coro::Specific in order to constrain their information to their coroutine. Attempting to access them from a different coroutine will yield possibly unexpected results.

Generally, all those of Coro. Please report any bugs or feature requests specific to Net::Server::Coro to "bug-net-server-coro@rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at <http://rt.cpan.org>.
