=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
SSL_connect - initiate the TLS/SSL handshake with an TLS/SSL server
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
|
|
|
|
int SSL_connect(SSL *ssl);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
SSL_connect() initiates the TLS/SSL handshake with a server. The communication
|
|
channel must already have been set and assigned to the B<ssl> by setting an
|
|
underlying B<BIO>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The behaviour of SSL_connect() depends on the underlying BIO.
|
|
|
|
If the underlying BIO is B<blocking>, SSL_connect() will only return once the
|
|
handshake has been finished or an error occurred.
|
|
|
|
If the underlying BIO is B<non-blocking>, SSL_connect() will also return
|
|
when the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of SSL_connect()
|
|
to continue the handshake. In this case a call to SSL_get_error() with the
|
|
return value of SSL_connect() will yield B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ> or
|
|
B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE>. The calling process then must repeat the call after
|
|
taking appropriate action to satisfy the needs of SSL_connect().
|
|
The action depends on the underlying BIO. When using a non-blocking socket,
|
|
nothing is to be done, but select() can be used to check for the required
|
|
condition. When using a buffering BIO, like a BIO pair, data must be written
|
|
into or retrieved out of the BIO before being able to continue.
|
|

|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
The following return values can occur:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item 1
|
|
|
|
The TLS/SSL handshake was successfully completed, a TLS/SSL connection has been
|
|
established.
|
|
|
|
=item 0
|
|
|
|
The TLS/SSL handshake was not successful but was shut down controlled and
|
|
by the specifications of the TLS/SSL protocol. Call SSL_get_error() with the
|
|
return value B<ret> to find out the reason.
|
|
|
|
=item E<lt>0
|
|
|
|
The TLS/SSL handshake was not successful, because a fatal error occurred either
|
|
at the protocol level or a connection failure occurred. The shutdown was
|
|
not clean. It can also occur of action is need to continue the operation
|
|
for non-blocking BIOs. Call SSL_get_error() with the return value B<ret>
|
|
to find out the reason.
