=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
SSL_CTX_set_mode, SSL_set_mode, SSL_CTX_get_mode, SSL_get_mode - manipulate SSL engine mode
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
|
|
|
|
long SSL_CTX_set_mode(SSL_CTX *ctx, long mode);
|
|
long SSL_set_mode(SSL *ssl, long mode);
|
|
|
|
long SSL_CTX_get_mode(SSL_CTX *ctx);
|
|
long SSL_get_mode(SSL *ssl);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
SSL_CTX_set_mode() adds the mode set via bitmask in B<mode> to B<ctx>.
|
|
Options already set before are not cleared.
|
|
|
|
SSL_set_mode() adds the mode set via bitmask in B<mode> to B<ssl>.
|
|
Options already set before are not cleared.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CTX_get_mode() returns the mode set for B<ctx>.
|
|
|
|
SSL_get_mode() returns the mode set for B<ssl>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The following mode changes are available:
|

|
=item SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE
|
|
|
|
Allow SSL_write(..., n) to return r with 0 < r < n (i.e. report success
|
|
when just a single record has been written). When not set (the default),
|
|
SSL_write() will only report success once the complete chunk was written.
|
|
Once SSL_write() returns with r, r bytes have been successfully written
|
|
and the next call to SSL_write() must only send the n-r bytes left,
|
|
imitating the behaviour of write().
|
|
|
|
=item SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER
|
|
|
|
Make it possible to retry SSL_write() with changed buffer location
|
|
(the buffer contents must stay the same). This is not the default to avoid
|
|
the misconception that non-blocking SSL_write() behaves like
|
|
non-blocking write().
|
|
|
|
=item SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY
|
|
|
|
Never bother the application with retries if the transport is blocking.
|
|
If a renegotiation take place during normal operation, a
|
|
L<SSL_read(3)|SSL_read(3)> or L<SSL_write(3)|SSL_write(3)> would return
|
|
with -1 and indicate the need to retry with SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ.
|
|
In a non-blocking environment applications must be prepared to handle
|
|
incomplete read/write operations.
|
|
In a blocking environment, applications are not always prepared to
|
|
deal with read/write operations returning without success report. The
|
|
flag SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY will cause read/write operations to only
|
|
return after the handshake and successful completion.
|
|
|
|
=item SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS
|
|
|
|
When we no longer need a read buffer or a write buffer for a given SSL,
|
|
then release the memory we were using to hold it. Released memory is
|
|
either appended to a list of unused RAM chunks on the SSL_CTX, or simply
|
|
freed if the list of unused chunks would become longer than
|
|
SSL_CTX->freelist_max_len, which defaults to 32. Using this flag can
|
|
save around 34k per idle SSL connection.
|
|
This flag has no effect on SSL v2 connections, or on DTLS connections.
|
|
|
|
=item SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV
|
|
|
|
Send TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV in the ClientHello.
|
|
To be set only by applications that reconnect with a downgraded protocol
|
|
version; see draft-ietf-tls-downgrade-scsv-00 for details.
|
|
|
|
DO NOT ENABLE THIS if your application attempts a normal handshake.
|
|
Only use this in explicit fallback retries, following the guidance
|
|
in draft-ietf-tls-downgrade-scsv-00.

=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|

SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_set_mode() return the new mode bitmask
|
|
after adding B<mode>.
|
|
|
|
SSL_CTX_get_mode() and SSL_get_mode() return the current bitmask.
