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" ); $response->content_length( length $response->content ); $req->respond( $response ); }, ); $loop->add( $httpserver ); $httpserver->listen( addr => { family => "inet6", socktype => "stream", port => 8080 }, )->get $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. For accepting HTTP connections via PSGI and Plack, see also Plack::Handler::Net::Async::HTTP::Server. Metrics Since version 0.11. This module reports basic metrics about received requests and sent responses via Metrics::Any. EVENTS on_request $req Invoked when a new HTTP request is received. It will be passed a Net::Async::HTTP::Server::Request object. PARAMETERS The following named parameters may be passed to new or configure: request_class => STRING Gives the name of the class that make_request will construct. This is provided as an alternative to overriding the make_request method, for the case where no other methods need overriding or other behaviour changed. METHODS As a small subclass of IO::Async::Listener, this class does not provide many new methods of its own. The superclass provides useful methods to control the basic operation of this server. Specifically, see the "listen" in IO::Async::Listener method on how to actually bind the server to a listening socket to make it accept requests. make_request $request = $server->make_request( @args ) Invoked by the protocol stream handler to create a new request object representing an incoming request. This is provided as a method for subclasses to overload, if they wish to represent requests with subclasses of the basic request representation. TODO * Don't use HTTP::Message objects as underlying implementation * Consider how to do streaming request inbound * Lots more testing AUTHOR Paul Evans
