While stereotyped repetitions are frowned upon in literature, they serve a useful purpose in manual pages, because it is easier for the user to find certain information if it is always presented in the same way. For that reason, this commit harmonizes the varying formulations in the HISTORY section about which functions, flags, etc. were added in which OpenSSL version. It also attempts to make the pod files more grep friendly by avoiding to insert line breaks between the symbol names and the corresponding version number in which they were introduced (wherever possible). Some punctuation and typographical errors were fixed on the way. Reviewed-by: Tim Hudson <tjh@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/7854)

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Deprecated since OpenSSL 1.1.0, can be hidden entirely by defining
|
|
B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value, see
|
|
L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
|
|
|
|
void SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(void)
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
SSL_COMP_add_compression_method() adds the compression method B<cm> with
|
|
the identifier B<id> to the list of available compression methods. This
|
|
list is globally maintained for all SSL operations within this application.
|
|
It cannot be set for specific SSL_CTX or SSL objects.
|
|
|
|
SSL_COMP_get_compression_methods() returns a stack of all of the available
|
|
compression methods or NULL on error.
|
|
|
|
SSL_COMP_get0_name() returns the name of the compression method B<comp>.
|
|
|
|
SSL_COMP_get_id() returns the id of the compression method B<comp>.
|
|
|
|
SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods() releases any resources acquired to
|
|
maintain the internal table of compression methods.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The TLS standard (or SSLv3) allows the integration of compression methods
|
|
into the communication. The TLS RFC does however not specify compression
|
|
methods or their corresponding identifiers, so there is currently no compatible
|
|
way to integrate compression with unknown peers. It is therefore currently not
|
|
recommended to integrate compression into applications. Applications for
|
|
non-public use may agree on certain compression methods. Using different
|
|
compression methods with the same identifier will lead to connection failure.
|
|
|
|
An OpenSSL client speaking a protocol that allows compression (SSLv3, TLSv1)
|
|
will unconditionally send the list of all compression methods enabled with
|
|
SSL_COMP_add_compression_method() to the server during the handshake.
|
|
Unlike the mechanisms to set a cipher list, there is no method available to
|
|
restrict the list of compression method on a per connection basis.
|
|
|
|
An OpenSSL server will match the identifiers listed by a client against
|
|
its own compression methods and will unconditionally activate compression
|
|
when a matching identifier is found. There is no way to restrict the list
|
|
of compression methods supported on a per connection basis.
|
|
|
|
If enabled during compilation, the OpenSSL library will have the
|
|
COMP_zlib() compression method available.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
SSL_COMP_add_compression_method() may return the following values:
|
|
|
|
=over 4

|
|
|
|
The operation succeeded.
|
|
|
|
=item Z<>1
|
|
|
|
The operation failed. Check the error queue to find out the reason.

|
SSL_COMP_get_compression_methods() returns the stack of compressions methods or
|
|
NULL on error.
|
|
|
|
SSL_COMP_get0_name() returns the name of the compression method or NULL on error.
|
|
|
|
SSL_COMP_get_id() returns the name of the compression method or -1 on error.

=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
The SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods() function was deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
|
|
The SSL_COMP_get0_name() and SSL_comp_get_id() functions were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0d.
