DESCRIPTION¶
Test::POE::Client::TCP is a POE component that provides a TCP client framework
for inclusion in client component test cases, instead of having to roll your
own.
Once registered with the component, a session will receive events related to
connections made, disconnects, flushed output and input from the specified
server.
CONSTRUCTOR¶
- "spawn"
- Takes a number of optional arguments:
'alias', set an alias on the component;
'address', the remote address to connect to;
'port', the remote port to connect to;
'options', a hashref of POE::Session options;
'filter', specify a POE::Filter to use for client connections, default is POE::Filter::Line;
'inputfilter', specify a POE::Filter for client input;
'outputfilter', specify a POE::Filter for output to clients;
'localaddr', specify that connections be made from a particular local address;
'localport', specify that connections be made from a particular port;
'autoconnect', set to a true value to make the poco connect immediately;
'prefix', specify an event prefix other than the default of 'testc';
The semantics for "filter", "inputfilter" and
"outputfilter" are the same as for POE::Component::Server::TCP
in that one may provide either a "SCALAR", "ARRAYREF"
or an "OBJECT".
If the component is "spawn"ed within another session it will
automatically "register" the parent session to receive
"all" events.
"address" and "port" are optional within
"spawn", but if they aren't specified they must be provided to
subsequent "connect"s. If "autoconnect" is specified,
"address" and "port" must also be defined.
METHODS¶
- "connect"
- Initiates a connection to the given server. Takes a number
of parameters:
'address', the remote address to connect to;
'port', the remote port to connect to;
'localaddr', specify that connections be made from a particular local address, optional;
'localport', specify that connections be made from a particular port, optional;
"address" and "port" are optional if they have been
already specified during "spawn".
- "session_id"
- Returns the POE::Session ID of the component.
- "shutdown"
- Terminates the component. It will terminate any pending
connects or connections.
- "server_info"
- Retrieves socket information about the current connection.
In a list context it returns a list consisting of, in order, the server
address, the server TCP port, our address and our TCP port. In a scalar
context it returns a HASHREF with the following keys:
'peeraddr', the server address;
'peerport', the server TCP port;
'sockaddr', our address;
'sockport', our TCP port;
- "send_to_server"
- Send some output to the connected server. The first
parameter is a string of text to send. This parameter may also be an
arrayref of items to send to the client. If the filter you have used
requires an arrayref as input, nest that arrayref within another
arrayref.
- "disconnect"
- Places the server connection into pending disconnect state.
Set this, then send an applicable message to the server using
"send_to_server()" and the server connection will be
terminated.
- "terminate"
- Immediately disconnects a server conenction.
- "wheel"
- Returns the underlying POE::Wheel::ReadWrite object if we
are currently connected to a server, "undef" otherwise. You can
use this method to call methods on the wheel object to switch filters,
etc. Exercise caution.
- "alias"
- Returns the currently configured alias.
These are events that the component will accept:
- "register"
- Takes N arguments: a list of event names that your session
wants to listen for, minus the 'testc_' prefix.
Registering for 'all' will cause it to send all TESTC-related events to you;
this is the easiest way to handle it.
- "unregister"
- Takes N arguments: a list of event names which you don't
want to receive. If you've previously done a 'register' for a particular
event which you no longer care about, this event will tell the poco to
stop sending them to you. (If you haven't, it just ignores you. No big
deal).
- "connect"
- Initiates a connection to the given server. Takes a number
of parameters:
'address', the remote address to connect to;
'port', the remote port to connect to;
'localaddr', specify that connections be made from a particular local address, optional;
'localport', specify that connections be made from a particular port, optional;
"address" and "port" are optional if they have been
already specified during "spawn".
- "shutdown"
- Terminates the component. It will terminate any pending
connects or connections.
- "send_to_server"
- Send some output to the connected server. The first
parameter is a string of text to send. This parameter may also be an
arrayref of items to send to the client. If the filter you have used
requires an arrayref as input, nest that arrayref within another
arrayref.
- "disconnect"
- Places the server connection into pending disconnect state.
Set this, then send an applicable message to the server using
"send_to_server()" and the server connection will be
terminated.
- "terminate"
- Immediately disconnects a server conenction.
OUTPUT EVENTS¶
The component sends the following events to registered sessions. If you have
changed the "prefix" option in "spawn" then substitute
"testc" with the event prefix that you specified.
- "testc_registered"
- This event is sent to a registering session. ARG0 is the
Test::POE::Client::TCP object.
- "testc_socket_failed"
- Generated if the component cannot make a socket connection.
ARG0 contains the name of the operation that failed. ARG1 and ARG2 hold
numeric and string values for $!, respectively.
- "testc_connected"
- Generated whenever a connection is established. ARG0 is the
server's IP address, ARG1 is the server's TCP port. ARG3 is our IP address
and ARG4 is our socket port.
- "testc_disconnected"
- Generated whenever we disconnect from the server.
- "testc_input"
- Generated whenever the server sends us some traffic. ARG0
is the data sent ( tokenised by whatever POE::Filter you specified ).
- "testc_flushed"
- Generated whenever anything we send to the server is
actually flushed down the 'line'.
