SYNOPSIS
use HTTP::Daemon::SSL;
use HTTP::Status;
# Make sure you have a certs/ directory with "server-cert.pem"
# and "server-key.pem" in it before running this!
my $d = HTTP::Daemon::SSL->new || die;
print "Please contact me at: <URL:", $d->url, ">\n";
while (my $c = $d->accept) {
while (my $r = $c->get_request) {
if ($r->method eq 'GET' and $r->url->path eq "/xyzzy") {
# remember, this is *not* recommened practice :-)
$c->send_file_response("/etc/passwd");
} else {
$c->send_error(RC_FORBIDDEN)
}
}
$c->close;
undef($c);
}
DESCRIPTION
Instances of the HTTP::Daemon::SSL class are HTTP/1.1 servers that
listen on a socket for incoming requests. The HTTP::Daemon::SSL is a
sub-class of IO::Socket::SSL, so you can perform socket operations
directly on it too.
The accept() method will return when a connection from a client is
available. In a scalar context the returned value will be a reference
to a object of the HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn::SSL class which is another
IO::Socket::SSL subclass. In a list context a two-element array is
returned containing the new HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn::SSL reference and
the peer address; the list will be empty upon failure. (Note that
version
1.02 erroneously did not honour list context). Calling the
get_request() method on the HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn::SSL object will
read data from the client and return an HTTP::Request object reference.
This HTTPS daemon does not fork(2) for you. Your application, i.e. the
user of the HTTP::Daemon::SSL is reponsible for forking if that is
desirable. Also note that the user is responsible for generating
responses that conform to the HTTP/1.1 protocol. The
HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn class provides some methods that make this
easier.
METHODS
The following methods are the only differences from the HTTP::Daemon
base class:
$d = new HTTP::Daemon::SSL
The constructor takes the same parameters as the IO::Socket::SSL
constructor. It can also be called without specifying any
parameters, but you will have to make sure that you have an SSL
certificate and key for the server in certs/server-cert.pem and
certs/server-key.pem. See the IO::Socket::SSL documentation for
how to change these default locations and specify many other
aspects of SSL behavior. The daemon will then set up a listen queue
of 5 connections and allocate some random port number. A server
that wants to bind to some specific address on the standard HTTPS
port will be constructed like this:
$d = new HTTP::Daemon::SSL
LocalAddr => 'www.someplace.com',
LocalPort => 443;
