NAME

       Mojo::IOLoop::Client - Non-blocking TCP client

SYNOPSIS

         use Mojo::IOLoop::Client;

         # Create socket connection
         my $client = Mojo::IOLoop::Client->new;
         $client->on(connect => sub {
           my ($client, $handle) = @_;
           ...
         });
         $client->on(error => sub {
           my ($client, $err) = @_;
           ...
         });
         $client->connect(address => 'example.com', port => 80);

         # Start reactor if necessary
         $client->reactor->start unless $client->reactor->is_running;

DESCRIPTION

       Mojo::IOLoop::Client opens TCP connections for Mojo::IOLoop.

EVENTS

       Mojo::IOLoop::Client inherits all events from Mojo::EventEmitter and can emit the
       following new ones.

   connect
         $client->on(connect => sub {
           my ($client, $handle) = @_;
           ...
         });

       Emitted safely once the connection is established.

   error
         $client->on(error => sub {
           my ($client, $err) = @_;
           ...
         });

       Emitted if an error occurs on the connection, fatal if unhandled.

ATTRIBUTES

       Mojo::IOLoop::Client implements the following attributes.

   reactor
         my $reactor = $client->reactor;
         $client     = $client->reactor(Mojo::Reactor::Poll->new);

       Low level event reactor, defaults to the "reactor" attribute value of the global
       Mojo::IOLoop singleton.

METHODS

       Mojo::IOLoop::Client inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the
       following new ones.

   connect
         $client->connect(address => '127.0.0.1', port => 3000);

       Open a socket connection to a remote host. Note that TLS support depends on
       IO::Socket::SSL (1.75+) and IPv6 support on IO::Socket::IP (0.16+).

       These options are currently available:

       address
           address => 'mojolicio.us'

         Address or host name of the peer to connect to, defaults to "localhost".

       handle
           handle => $handle

         Use an already prepared handle.

       local_address
           local_address => '127.0.0.1'

         Local address to bind to.

       port
           port => 80

         Port to connect to, defaults to 80 or 443 with "tls" option.

       timeout
           timeout => 15

         Maximum amount of time in seconds establishing connection may take before getting
         canceled, defaults to 10.

       tls
           tls => 1

         Enable TLS.

       tls_ca
           tls_ca => '/etc/tls/ca.crt'

         Path to TLS certificate authority file. Also activates hostname verification.

       tls_cert
           tls_cert => '/etc/tls/client.crt'

         Path to the TLS certificate file.

       tls_key
           tls_key => '/etc/tls/client.key'

         Path to the TLS key file.
