=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use AnyEvent::HTTPD;

    my $httpd = AnyEvent::HTTPD->new (port => 9090);

    $httpd->reg_cb (
       '/' => sub {
          my ($httpd, $req) = @_;

          $req->respond ({ content => ['text/html',
             "<html><body><h1>Hello World!</h1>"
             . "<a href=\"/test\">another test page</a>"
             . "</body></html>"

          my ($httpd, $req) = @_;

          $req->respond ({ content => ['text/html',
             "<html><body><h1>Test page</h1>"
             . "<a href=\"/\">Back to the main page</a>"
             . "</body></html>"

    $httpd->run; # making a AnyEvent condition variable would also work

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a simple HTTPD for serving simple web application
interfaces. It's completly event based and independend from any event loop
by using the L<AnyEvent> module.

It's HTTP implementation is a bit hacky, so before using this module make sure
it works for you and the expected deployment. Feel free to improve the HTTP
support and send in patches!

The documentation is currently only the source code, but next versions of this
module will be better documented hopefully. See also the C<samples/> directory
in the L<AnyEvent::HTTPD> distribution for basic starting points.

=head1 FEATURES

=over 4

=item * support for GET and POST requests.

=item * support for HTTP 1.0 keep-alive.

=item * processing of C<x-www-form-urlencoded> and C<multipart/form-data> (C<multipart/mixed>) encoded form parameters.

=item * support for streaming responses.

=item * with version 0.8 no more dependend on L<LWP> for L<HTTP::Date>.

=item * (limited) support for SSL

=head1 METHODS

The L<AnyEvent::HTTPD> class inherits directly from
L<AnyEvent::HTTPD::HTTPServer> which inherits the event callback interface from
L<Object::Event>.

Event callbacks can be registered via the L<Object::Event> API (see the
documentation of L<Object::Event> for details).

For a list of available events see below in the I<EVENTS> section.

=item B<new (%args)>

This is the constructor for a L<AnyEvent::HTTPD> object.
The C<%args> hash may contain one of these key/value pairs:

=over 4

=item host => $host

The TCP address of the HTTP server will listen on. Usually 0.0.0.0 (the
default), for a public server, or 127.0.0.1 for a local server.

=item port => $port

The TCP port the HTTP server will listen on. If undefined some
free port will be used. You can get it via the C<port> method.

=item ssl => $tls_ctx

If this option is given the server will listen for a SSL/TLS connection on the
configured port. As C<$tls_ctx> you can pass anything that you can pass as
C<tls_ctx> to an L<AnyEvent::Handle> object.

Example:

   my $httpd =
      AnyEvent::HTTPD->new (
         port => 443,
         ssl  => { cert_file => "/path/to/my/server_cert_and_key.pem" }
      );

Or:

   my $httpd =
      AnyEvent::HTTPD->new (
         port => 443,
         ssl  => AnyEvent::TLS->new (...),
      );
