SYNOPSIS
# my $msock = Perlbal::Test::start_server();
DESCRIPTIONPerlbal::Test provides access to a perlbal server running on the local
host, for testing purposes.
The server can be an already-existing server, a child process, or the
current process.
Various functions are provided to interact with the server.
FUNCTIONSmgmt_port()
Return the current management port number.
dump_res($http_response)
Return a readable string formatted from an HTTP::Response object. Only
the first 80 characters of returned content are returned.
tempdir()
Return a newly created temporary directory. The directory will be
removed automatically upon program exit.
new_port()
Return the next free port number in the series. Port numbers are
assigned starting at 60000.
test_port()
Return 1 if the port is free to use for listening on $free_port else
return 0.
filecontent($file>
Return a string containing the contents of the file $file. If $file
cannot be opened, then return undef.
foreach_aio($callback)
Set the server into each AIO mode (none, ioaio) and call the specified
callback function with the mode name as argument.
manage($cmd, %opts)
Send a command $cmd to the server, and return the response line from
the server.
Optional arguments are:
quiet_failure => 1
Output a warning if the response indicated an error, unless
$opts{quiet_failure} is true, or the command was 'shutdown' (which
doesn't return a response).
manage_multi($cmd)
Send a command $cmd to the server, and return a multi-line response.
Return the number zero if there was an error or no response.
start_server($conf)
Optionally start a perlbal server and return a socket connected to its
management port.
The argument $conf is a string specifying initial configuration
commands.
If the environment variable TEST_PERLBAL_FOREGROUND is set to a true
value then a server will be started in the foreground, in which case
this function does not return. When the server function finishes,
exit() will be called to terminate the process.
If the environment variable TEST_PERLBAL_USE_EXISTING is set to a true
value then a socket will be returned which is connected to an existing
server's management port.
Otherwise, a child process is forked and a socket is returned which is
connected to the child's management port.
The management port is assigned automatically, a new port number each
time this function is called. The starting port number is 60000.
msock()
Return a reference to the socket connected to the server's management
port.
ua()
Return a new instance of LWP::UserAgent.
wait_on_child($pid, $port)
Return a socket which is connected to a child process.
$pid specifies the child process id, and $port is the port number on
which the child is listening.
Several attempts are made; if the child dies or a connection cannot be
made within 5 seconds then this function dies with an error message.
resp_from_sock($sock)
Read an HTTP response from a socket and return it as an HTTP::Response
object
In scalar mode, return only the $http_response object.
In array mode, return an array of ($http_response, $firstline) where
$firstline is the first line read from the socket, for example:
"HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
