Detailed Description

This class will start a secure SSL based channel.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum PSSLChannel::VerifyMode

Enumerator:

VerifyNone
VerifyPeer
VerifyPeerMandatory

---

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PSSLChannel::PSSLChannel	(	PSSLContext *	context = NULL,
		PBoolean	autoDeleteContext = false
	)

Create a new channel given the context.

If no context is given a default one is created.

Parameters:

context	Context for SSL channel
autoDeleteContext	Flag for context to be automatically deleted.

PSSLChannel::PSSLChannel

(

PSSLContext &

context

)

Parameters:

context

Context for SSL channel

PSSLChannel::~PSSLChannel

(

)

Close and clear the SSL channel.

Member Function Documentation

PBoolean PSSLChannel::Accept	(	PChannel *	channel,
		PBoolean	autoDelete = true
	)

Accept a new inbound connection (server).

Parameters:

channel	Channel to attach to.
autoDelete	Flag for if channel should be automatically deleted.

PBoolean PSSLChannel::Accept

(

PChannel &

channel

)

Accept a new inbound connection (server).

Parameters:

channel

Channel to attach to.

PBoolean PSSLChannel::Accept

(

)

Accept a new inbound connection (server).

This version expects that the indirect channel has already been opened using Open() beforehand.

virtual PBoolean PSSLChannel::Close

(

)

[virtual]

Close the channel.

This will detach itself from the read and write channels and delete both of them if they are auto delete.

Returns:

true if the channel is closed.

Reimplemented from PIndirectChannel.

PBoolean PSSLChannel::Connect	(	PChannel *	channel,
		PBoolean	autoDelete = true
	)

Connect to remote server.

Parameters:

channel	Channel to attach to.
autoDelete	Flag for if channel should be automatically deleted.

PBoolean PSSLChannel::Connect

(

PChannel &

channel

)

Connect to remote server.

Parameters:

channel

Channel to attach to.

PBoolean PSSLChannel::Connect

(

)

Connect to remote server.

This version expects that the indirect channel has already been opened using Open() beforehand.

virtual PBoolean PSSLChannel::ConvertOSError	(	int	error,
		ErrorGroup	group = LastGeneralError
	)			[virtual]

PSSLContext* PSSLChannel::GetContext

(

)

const [inline]

virtual PString PSSLChannel::GetErrorText

(

ErrorGroup

group = NumErrorGroups

)

const [virtual]

Get error message description.

Return a string indicating the error message that may be displayed to the user. The error for the last I/O operation in this object is used.

Returns:

Operating System error description string.

Reimplemented from PIndirectChannel.

virtual PBoolean PSSLChannel::OnOpen

(

)

[protected, virtual]

This callback is executed when the Open() function is called with open channels.

It may be used by descendent channels to do any handshaking required by the protocol that channel embodies.

The default behaviour "connects" the channel to the OpenSSL library.

Returns:

Returns true if the protocol handshaking is successful.

Reimplemented from PIndirectChannel.

virtual PBoolean PSSLChannel::RawSSLRead	(	void *	buf,
		PINDEX &	len
	)			[virtual]

virtual PBoolean PSSLChannel::Read	(	void *	buf,
		PINDEX	len
	)			[virtual]

Low level read from the channel.

This function may block until the requested number of characters were read or the read timeout was reached. The GetLastReadCount() function returns the actual number of bytes read.

This will use the readChannel pointer to actually do the read. If readChannel is null the this asserts.

The GetErrorCode() function should be consulted after Read() returns false to determine what caused the failure.

Returns:

true indicates that at least one character was read from the channel. false means no bytes were read due to timeout or some other I/O error.

Reimplemented from PIndirectChannel.

void PSSLChannel::SetVerifyMode

(

VerifyMode

mode

)

virtual PBoolean PSSLChannel::Shutdown

(

ShutdownValue

)

[inline, virtual]

Close one or both of the data streams associated with a channel.

The behavour here is to pass the shutdown on to its read and write channels.

Returns:

true if the shutdown was successfully performed.

Reimplemented from PIndirectChannel.

PBoolean PSSLChannel::UseCertificate

(

const PSSLCertificate &

certificate

)

Use the certificate specified.

PBoolean PSSLChannel::UsePrivateKey

(

const PSSLPrivateKey &

key

)

Use the private key file specified.

virtual PBoolean PSSLChannel::Write	(	const void *	buf,
		PINDEX	len
	)			[virtual]

Low level write to the channel.

This function will block until the requested number of characters are written or the write timeout is reached. The GetLastWriteCount() function returns the actual number of bytes written.

This will use the writeChannel pointer to actually do the write. If writeChannel is null the this asserts.

The GetErrorCode() function should be consulted after Write() returns false to determine what caused the failure.

Returns:

true if at least len bytes were written to the channel.

Reimplemented from PIndirectChannel.
