+
+# == Introduction
+# EventMachine provides a fast, lightweight framework for implementing
+# Ruby programs that can use the network to communicate with other
+# processes. Using EventMachine, Ruby programmers can easily connect
+# to remote servers and act as servers themselves. EventMachine does not
+# supplant the Ruby IP libraries. It does provide an alternate technique
+# for those applications requiring better performance, scalability,
+# and discipline over the behavior of network sockets, than is easily
+# obtainable using the built-in libraries, especially in applications
+# which are structurally well-suited for the event-driven programming model.
+#
+# EventMachine provides a perpetual event-loop which your programs can
+# start and stop. Within the event loop, TCP network connections are
+# initiated and accepted, based on EventMachine methods called by your
+# program. You also define callback methods which are called by EventMachine
+# when events of interest occur within the event-loop.
+#
+# User programs will be called back when the following events occur:
+# * When the event loop accepts network connections from remote peers
+# * When data is received from network connections
+# * When connections are closed, either by the local or the remote side
+# * When user-defined timers expire
+#
+# == Usage example
+#
+# Here's a fully-functional echo server implemented in EventMachine:
+# 
+#       require 'rubygems'
+#       require 'eventmachine'
+# 
+#       module EchoServer
+#         def receive_data data
+#           send_data ">>>you sent: #{data}"
+#           close_connection if data =~ /quit/i
+#         end
+#       end
+# 
+#       EventMachine::run {
+#         EventMachine::start_server "192.168.0.100", 8081, EchoServer
+#       }
+# 
+# What's going on here? Well, we have defined the module EchoServer to
+# implement the semantics of the echo protocol (more about that shortly).
+# The last three lines invoke the event-machine itself, which runs forever
+# unless one of your callbacks terminates it. The block that you supply
+# to EventMachine::run contains code that runs immediately after the event
+# machine is initialized and before it starts looping. This is the place
+# to open up a TCP server by specifying the address and port it will listen
+# on, together with the module that will process the data.
+# 
+# Our EchoServer is extremely simple as the echo protocol doesn't require
+# much work. Basically you want to send back to the remote peer whatever
+# data it sends you. We'll dress it up with a little extra text to make it
+# interesting. Also, we'll close the connection in case the received data
+# contains the word "quit."
+# 
+# So what about this module EchoServer? Well, whenever a network connection
+# (either a client or a server) starts up, EventMachine instantiates an anonymous
+# class, that your module has been mixed into. Exactly one of these class
+# instances is created for each connection. Whenever an event occurs on a
+# given connection, its corresponding object automatically calls specific
+# instance methods which your module may redefine. The code in your module
+# always runs in the context of a class instance, so you can create instance
+# variables as you wish and they will be carried over to other callbacks
+# made on that same connection.
+# 
+# Looking back up at EchoServer, you can see that we've defined the method
+# receive_data which (big surprise) is called whenever data has been received
+# from the remote end of the connection. Very simple. We get the data
+# (a String object) and can do whatever we wish with it. In this case,
+# we use the method send_data to return the received data to the caller,
+# with some extra text added in. And if the user sends the word "quit,"
+# we'll close the connection with (naturally) close_connection.
+# (Notice that closing the connection doesn't terminate the processing loop,
+# or change the fact that your echo server is still accepting connections!) 
+#
+#
+# == Questions and Futures
+# Would it be useful for EventMachine to incorporate the Observer pattern
+# and make use of the corresponding Ruby <tt>observer</tt> package?
+# Interesting thought.
+#
+# 
+module EventMachine
+
+
+	# EventMachine::run initializes and runs an event loop.
+	# This method only returns if user-callback code calls stop_event_loop.
+	# Use the supplied block to define your clients and servers.
+	# The block is called by EventMachine::run immediately after initializing
+	# its internal event loop but <i>before</i> running the loop.
+	# Therefore this block is the right place to call start_server if you
+	# want to accept connections from remote clients.
+	#
+	# For programs that are structured as servers, it's usually appropriate
+	# to start an event loop by calling EventMachine::run, and let it
+	# run forever. It's also possible to use EventMachine::run to make a single
+	# client-connection to a remote server, process the data flow from that
+	# single connection, and then call stop_event_loop to force EventMachine::run
+	# to return. Your program will then continue from the point immediately
+	# following the call to EventMachine::run.
+	#
+	# You can of course do both client and servers simultaneously in the same program.
+	# One of the strengths of the event-driven programming model is that the
+	# handling of network events on many different connections will be interleaved,
+	# and scheduled according to the actual events themselves. This maximizes
+	# efficiency.
+	#
+	# === Server usage example
+	#
+	# See the text at the top of this file for an example of an echo server.
+	#
+	# === Client usage example
+	#
+	# See the description of stop_event_loop for an extremely simple client example.
+	#
+	#--
+	# Obsoleted the use_threads mechanism.
+	# 25Nov06: Added the begin/ensure block. We need to be sure that release_machine
+	# gets called even if an exception gets thrown within any of the user code
+	# that the event loop runs. The best way to see this is to run a unit
+	# test with two functions, each of which calls EventMachine#run and each of
+	# which throws something inside of #run. Without the ensure, the second test
+	# will start without release_machine being called and will immediately throw
+	# a C++ runtime error.

+  # (There currently is no option to panic-stop the loop without

+  # The optional handler which is passed to start_server is the key
+  # to EventMachine's ability to handle particular network protocols.
+  # The handler parameter passed to start_server must be a Ruby Module
+  # that you must define. When the network server that is started by
+  # start_server accepts a new connection, it instantiates a new
+  # object of an anonymous class that is inherited from EventMachine::Connection,
+  # <i>into which the methods from your handler have been mixed.</i>
+  # Your handler module may redefine any of the methods in EventMachine::Connection
+  # in order to implement the specific behavior of the network protocol.
+  #
+  # Callbacks invoked in response to network events <i>always</i> take place
+  # within the execution context of the object derived from EventMachine::Connection
+  # extended by your handler module. There is one object per connection, and
+  # all of the callbacks invoked for a particular connection take the form
+  # of instance methods called against the corresponding EventMachine::Connection
+  # object. Therefore, you are free to define whatever instance variables you
+  # wish, in order to contain the per-connection state required by the network protocol you are
+  # implementing.
+  #
+  # start_server is often called inside the block passed to EventMachine::run,
+  # but it can be called from any EventMachine callback. start_server will fail
+  # unless the EventMachine event loop is currently running (which is why
+  # it's often called in the block suppled to EventMachine::run).
+  #
+  # You may call start_server any number of times to start up network
+  # listeners on different address/port combinations. The servers will
+  # all run simultaneously. More interestingly, each individual call to start_server
+  # can specify a different handler module and thus implement a different
+  # network protocol from all the others.
+  #
+  # === Usage example
+  # Here is an example of a server that counts lines of input from the remote
+  # peer and sends back the total number of lines received, after each line.
+  # Try the example with more than one client connection opened via telnet,
+  # and you will see that the line count increments independently on each
+  # of the client connections. Also very important to note, is that the
+  # handler for the receive_data function, which our handler redefines, may
+  # not assume that the data it receives observes any kind of message boundaries.
+  # Also, to use this example, be sure to change the server and port parameters
+  # to the start_server call to values appropriate for your environment.

+  #
+  # === Usage Example
+  #
+  # Here's a program which connects to a web server, sends a naive

+  # (antisocially) ends the event loop, which automatically drops the connection
+  # (and incidentally calls the connection's unbind method).

+  #    def post_init
+  #      send_data "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: _\r\n\r\n"
+  #      @data = ""
+  #    end
+  #  
+  #    def receive_data data
+  #      @data << data
+  #      if  @data =~ /[\n][\r]*[\n]/m
+  #        puts "RECEIVED HTTP HEADER:"
+  #        $`.each {|line| puts ">>> #{line}" }
+  #  
+  #        puts "Now we'll terminate the loop, which will also close the connection"
+  #        EventMachine::stop_event_loop
+  #      end
+  #    end
+  #  
+  #    def unbind
+  #      puts "A connection has terminated"
+  #    end
+  #  
+  #  end # DumbHttpClient
+  #  
+  #  
+  #  EventMachine::run {
+  #    EventMachine::connect "www.bayshorenetworks.com", 80, DumbHttpClient
+  #  }
+  #  puts "The event loop has ended"
+  #  
+  #
+  # There are times when it's more convenient to define a protocol handler
+  # as a Class rather than a Module. Here's how to do this:
+  #
+  #  class MyProtocolHandler < EventMachine::Connection
+  #    def initialize *args
+  #      super
+  #      # whatever else you want to do here
+  #    end
+  #    
+  #    #.......your other class code
+  #  end # class MyProtocolHandler
+  #
+  # If you do this, then an instance of your class will be instantiated to handle
+  # every network connection created by your code or accepted by servers that you
+  # create. If you redefine #post_init in your protocol-handler class, your
+  # #post_init method will be called _inside_ the call to #super that you will
+  # make in your #initialize method (if you provide one).
+  #
+  #--
+  # EventMachine::connect initiates a TCP connection to a remote
+  # server and sets up event-handling for the connection.
+  # It internally creates an object that should not be handled
+  # by the caller. HOWEVER, it's often convenient to get the
+  # object to set up interfacing to other objects in the system.
+  # We return the newly-created anonymous-class object to the caller.
+  # It's expected that a considerable amount of code will depend
+  # on this behavior, so don't change it.
+  #
+  # Ok, added support for a user-defined block, 13Apr06.
+  # This leads us to an interesting choice because of the
+  # presence of the post_init call, which happens in the
+  # initialize method of the new object. We call the user's
+  # block and pass the new object to it. This is a great
+  # way to do protocol-specific initiation. It happens
+  # AFTER post_init has been called on the object, which I
+  # certainly hope is the right choice.
+  # Don't change this lightly, because accepted connections
+  # are different from connected ones and we don't want
+  # to have them behave differently with respect to post_init
+  # if at all possible.

+	# EventMachine#open_datagram_socket is for support of UDP-based

+	# It takes three parameters: an IP address (which must be valid
+	# on the machine which executes the method), a port number,
+	# and an optional Module name which will handle the data.
+	# This method will create a new UDP (datagram) socket and
+	# bind it to the address and port that you specify.
+	# The normal callbacks (see EventMachine#start_server) will
+	# be called as events of interest occur on the newly-created
+	# socket, but there are some differences in how they behave.
+	#
+	# Connection#receive_data will be called when a datagram packet
+	# is received on the socket, but unlike TCP sockets, the message
+	# boundaries of the received data will be respected. In other words,
+	# if the remote peer sent you a datagram of a particular size,
+	# you may rely on Connection#receive_data to give you the
+	# exact data in the packet, with the original data length.
+	# Also observe that Connection#receive_data may be called with a
+	# <i>zero-length</i> data payload, since empty datagrams are permitted
+	# in UDP.
+	#
+	# Connection#send_data is available with UDP packets as with TCP,
+	# but there is an important difference. Because UDP communications
+	# are <i>connectionless,</i> there is no implicit recipient for the packets you
+	# send. Ordinarily you must specify the recipient for each packet you send.
+	# However, EventMachine
+	# provides for the typical pattern of receiving a UDP datagram
+	# from a remote peer, performing some operation, and then sending
+	# one or more packets in response to the same remote peer.
+	# To support this model easily, just use Connection#send_data
+	# in the code that you supply for Connection:receive_data.
+	# EventMachine will
+	# provide an implicit return address for any messages sent to
+	# Connection#send_data within the context of a Connection#receive_data callback,
+	# and your response will automatically go to the correct remote peer.
+	# (TODO: Example-code needed!)
+	#
+	# Observe that the port number that you supply to EventMachine#open_datagram_socket
+	# may be zero. In this case, EventMachine will create a UDP socket
+	# that is bound to an <i>ephemeral</i> (not well-known) port.
+	# This is not appropriate for servers that must publish a well-known
+	# port to which remote peers may send datagrams. But it can be useful
+	# for clients that send datagrams to other servers.
+	# If you do this, you will receive any responses from the remote
+	# servers through the normal Connection#receive_data callback.
+	# Observe that you will probably have issues with firewalls blocking
+	# the ephemeral port numbers, so this technique is most appropriate for LANs.
+	# (TODO: Need an example!)
+	#
+	# If you wish to send datagrams to arbitrary remote peers (not
+	# necessarily ones that have sent data to which you are responding),
+	# then see Connection#send_datagram.
+	#
+	# DO NOT call send_data from a datagram socket
+	# outside of a #receive_data method. Use #send_datagram. If you do use #send_data
+	# outside of a #receive_data method, you'll get a confusing error
+	# because there is no "peer," as #send_data requires. (Inside of #receive_data,
+	# #send_data "fakes" the peer as described above.)

+	# data will correspond to network packets, as EventMachine can and will coalesce
