val output_int : socket -> int -> unitWrite an integer on an SSL socket.
module Runtime_lock : sig ... endRuntime_lock is an equivalent, signature compatible, equivalent to the Ssl module, with one difference: the OCaml runtime lock isn't released before calling the underlying SSL primitives. Multiple systhreads cannot, therefore, run concurrently.
This function is deprecated. Use Runtime_lock.read_into_bigarray instead.
\ No newline at end of file
+ unitSet the callback to allow server to select the preferred protocol from client's available protocols.
A cipher. It holds the algorithm information for a particular cipher which * are a core part of the SSL/TLS protocol.
Disable all protocols from the list. * Note that SSLv23 disables both SSLv2 and SSLv3 (as opposed to all the * protocols). *
val set_cipher_list : context -> string -> unitSet the list of available ciphers for a context. See man ciphers(1) for the format of the string.
val honor_cipher_order : context -> unitWhen choosing a cipher, use the server's preferences instead of the client * preferences. When not set, the SSL server will always follow the clients * preferences. When set, the SSLv3/TLSv1 server will choose following its * own preferences. Because of the different protocol, for SSLv2 the server * will send its list of preferences to the client and the client chooses.
val init_dh_from_file : context -> string -> unitInit DH parameters from file
val init_ec_from_named_curve : context -> string -> unitInit EC curve from curve name
val get_cipher_description : cipher -> stringGet a description of a cipher.
val get_cipher_name : cipher -> stringGet the name of a cipher.
val get_cipher_version : cipher -> stringGet the version of a cipher.
Get the version used for the connection. As per the OpenSSL documentation, should only be called after the initial handshake has been completed. Prior to that the results returned from these functions may be unreliable.
val read_certificate : string -> certificateread_certificate fname reads the certificate in the file fname.
val write_certificate : string -> certificate -> unitval get_certificate : socket -> certificateGet the certificate used by a socket.
val get_issuer : certificate -> stringGet the issuer of a certificate.
val get_subject : certificate -> stringGet the subject of a certificate.
val get_start_date : certificate -> Unix.tmGet the start date of a certificate.
val get_expiration_date : certificate -> Unix.tmGet the expiration date of a certificate.
val load_verify_locations : context -> string -> string -> unitload_verify_locations ctxt cafile capath specifies the locations for the context ctx, at which CA certificates for verification purposes are located. cafile should be the name of a CA certificates file in PEM format and capath should be the name of a directory which contains CA certificates in PEM format. Empty strings can be used in order not to specify on of the parameters (but not both).
val set_default_verify_paths : context -> boolSpecifies that the default locations from which CA certificates are loaded should be used. Returns true on success.
val get_verify_result : socket -> intGet the verification result.
Get a human readable verification error message for the verification error Its input should be the result of calling get_verify_result.
val digest : [ `SHA1 | `SHA256 | `SHA384 ] -> certificate -> stringGet the digest of the certificate as a binary string, using the SHA1, SHA256 or SHA384 hashing algorithm.
val set_client_SNI_hostname : socket -> string -> unitSet the hostname the client is attempting to connect to using the Server * Name Indication (SNI) TLS extension.
val set_alpn_protos : socket -> string list -> unitSet the list of supported ALPN protocols for negotiation to the connection.
val get_negotiated_alpn_protocol : socket -> string optionGet the negotiated protocol from the connection.
val verify : socket -> unitCheck the result of the verification of the X509 certificate presented by the peer, if any. Raises a verify_error on failure.
val set_hostflags : socket -> x509_check_flag list -> unitval set_host : socket -> string -> unitval set_ip : socket -> string -> unitSet the expected ip address to be verified. Ip address is dotted decimal quad for IPv4 and colon-separated hexadecimal for IPv6. The condensed "::" notation is supported for IPv6 addresses.
val file_descr_of_socket : socket -> Unix.file_descrGet the file descriptor associated with a socket. It is primarily useful for selecting on it; you should not write or read on it.
The main SSL communication functions that can block if sockets are in blocking mode. This set of functions releases the OCaml runtime lock, which can require extra copying of application data. The module Runtime_lock provided below lifts this limitation by never releasing the OCaml runtime lock.
val connect : socket -> unitConnect an SSL socket.
val accept : socket -> unitAccept an SSL connection.
Open an SSL connection with the specified context.
val close_notify : socket -> boolSend close notify to the peer. This is SSL_shutdown(3). * returns true if shutdown is finished, false in case close_notify * needs to be called a second time.
val shutdown_connection : socket -> unitClose an SSL connection opened with open_connection.
val shutdown : socket -> unitClose a SSL connection. * Send close notify to the peer and wait for close notify from peer.
val flush : socket -> unitFlush an SSL connection.
val read : socket -> Stdlib.Bytes.t -> int -> int -> intread sock buf off len receives data from a connected SSL socket.
read_into_bigarray sock ba off len receives data from a connected SSL socket. This function releases the runtime while the read takes place.
val write : socket -> Stdlib.Bytes.t -> int -> int -> intwrite sock buf off len sends data over a connected SSL socket.
val write_substring : socket -> string -> int -> int -> intwrite_substring sock str off len sends data over a connected SSL socket.
write_bigarray sock ba off len sends data over a connected SSL socket. This function releases the runtime while the read takes place.
val input_string : socket -> stringInput a string on an SSL socket.
val output_string : socket -> string -> unitWrite a string on an SSL socket.
val input_char : socket -> charInput a character on an SSL socket.
val output_char : socket -> char -> unitWrite a char on an SSL socket.
val input_int : socket -> intInput an integer on an SSL socket.
val output_int : socket -> int -> unitWrite an integer on an SSL socket.
