SOAP::Transport::TCP(3)
NAME
SOAP::Transport::TCP - TCP Transport Support for SOAP::Lite
SOAP::Transport::TCP
The classes provided by this module implement direct TCP/IP
communications methods for both clients and servers.
The connections don't use HTTP or any other higher-level protocol.
These classes are selected when the client or server object being
created uses an endpoint URI that starts with tcp://. Both client and
server classes support using Secure Socket Layer if it is available. If
any of the parameters to a new method from either of the classes begins
with SSL_ (such as SSL_server in place of Server), the class attempts
to load the IO::Socket::SSL package and use it to create socket
objects.
Both of the following classes catch methods that are intended for the
socket objects and pass them along, allowing calls such as
$client->accept( ) without including the socket class in the
inheritance tree.
SOAP::Transport::TCP::Client
Inherits from: SOAP::Client.
The TCP client class defines only two relevant methods beyond new and
send_receive. These methods are:
SSL(optional new boolean value)
if ($client->SSL) # Execute only if in SSL mode
Reflects the attribute that denotes whether the client object is
using SSL sockets for communications.
io_socket_class
($client->io_socket_class)->new(%options);
Returns the name of the class to use when creating socket objects
for internal use in communications. As implemented, it returns one
of IO::Socket::INET or IO::Socket::SSL, depending on the return
value of the previous SSL method.
If an application creates a subclass that inherits from this client
class, either method is a likely target for overloading.
The new method behaves identically to most other classes, except that
it detects the presence of SSL-targeted values in the parameter list
and sets the SSL method appropriately if they are present.
The send_receive method creates a socket of the appropriate class and
connects to the configured endpoint. It then sets the socket to
nonblocking I/O, sends the message, shuts down the client end of the
connection (preventing further writing), and reads the response back
from the server. The socket object is discarded after the response and
appropriate status codes are set on the client object.
SOAP::Transport::TCP::Server
Inherits from: SOAP::Server.
The server class also defines the same two additional methods as in the
client class:
SSL(optional new boolean value)
if ($client->SSL) # Execute only if in SSL mode
Reflects the attribute that denotes whether the client object is
using SSL sockets for communications.
io_socket_class
($client->io_socket_class)->new(%options);
Returns the name of the class to use when creating socket objects
for internal use in communications. As implemented, it returns one
of IO::Socket::INET or IO::Socket::SSL, depending on the return
value of the previous SSL method. The new method also manages the
automatic selection of SSL in the same fashion as the client class
does.
The handle method in this server implementation isn't designed to
be called once with each new request. Rather, it is called with no
arguments, at which time it enters into an infinite loop of waiting
for a connection, reading the request, routing the request and
sending back the serialized response. This continues until the
process itself is interrupted by an untrapped signal or similar
means.
