"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBBIO_f_ssl() returns the \s-1SSL BIO\s0 method. This is a filter \s-1BIO\s0 which is a wrapper round the OpenSSL \s-1SSL\s0 routines adding a \s-1BIO\s0 \*(L"flavour\*(R" to \s-1SSL I/O.\s0

I/O performed on an \s-1SSL BIO\s0 communicates using the \s-1SSL\s0 protocol with the SSLs read and write BIOs. If an \s-1SSL\s0 connection is not established then an attempt is made to establish one on the first I/O call.

If a \s-1BIO\s0 is appended to an \s-1SSL BIO\s0 using BIO_push() it is automatically used as the \s-1SSL\s0 BIOs read and write BIOs.

Calling BIO_reset() on an \s-1SSL BIO\s0 closes down any current \s-1SSL\s0 connection by calling SSL_shutdown(). BIO_reset() is then sent to the next \s-1BIO\s0 in the chain: this will typically disconnect the underlying transport. The \s-1SSL BIO\s0 is then reset to the initial accept or connect state.

If the close flag is set when an \s-1SSL BIO\s0 is freed then the internal \s-1SSL\s0 structure is also freed using SSL_free().

\fBBIO_set_ssl() sets the internal \s-1SSL\s0 pointer of \s-1SSL BIO\s0 b to ssl using the close flag c.

\fBBIO_get_ssl() retrieves the \s-1SSL\s0 pointer of \s-1SSL BIO\s0 b, it can then be manipulated using the standard \s-1SSL\s0 library functions.

\fBBIO_set_ssl_mode() sets the \s-1SSL BIO\s0 mode to client. If client is 1 client mode is set. If client is 0 server mode is set.

\fBBIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes() sets the renegotiate byte count of \s-1SSL BIO\s0 b to num. When set after every num bytes of I/O (read and write) the \s-1SSL\s0 session is automatically renegotiated. num must be at least 512 bytes.

\fBBIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout() sets the renegotiate timeout of \s-1SSL BIO\s0 b to seconds. When the renegotiate timeout elapses the session is automatically renegotiated.

\fBBIO_get_num_renegotiates() returns the total number of session renegotiations due to I/O or timeout of \s-1SSL BIO\s0 b.

\fBBIO_new_ssl() allocates an \s-1SSL BIO\s0 using \s-1SSL_CTX\s0 ctx and using client mode if client is non zero.

\fBBIO_new_ssl_connect() creates a new \s-1BIO\s0 chain consisting of an \s-1SSL BIO\s0 (using ctx) followed by a connect \s-1BIO.\s0

\fBBIO_new_buffer_ssl_connect() creates a new \s-1BIO\s0 chain consisting of a buffering \s-1BIO,\s0 an \s-1SSL BIO\s0 (using ctx), and a connect \s-1BIO.\s0

\fBBIO_ssl_copy_session_id() copies an \s-1SSL\s0 session id between \s-1BIO\s0 chains from and to. It does this by locating the \s-1SSL\s0 BIOs in each chain and calling SSL_copy_session_id() on the internal \s-1SSL\s0 pointer.

\fBBIO_ssl_shutdown() closes down an \s-1SSL\s0 connection on \s-1BIO\s0 chain bio. It does this by locating the \s-1SSL BIO\s0 in the chain and calling SSL_shutdown() on its internal \s-1SSL\s0 pointer.

\fBBIO_do_handshake() attempts to complete an \s-1SSL\s0 handshake on the supplied \s-1BIO\s0 and establish the \s-1SSL\s0 connection. For non-SSL BIOs the connection is done typically at \s-1TCP\s0 level. If domain name resolution yields multiple \s-1IP\s0 addresses all of them are tried after connect() failures. The function returns 1 if the connection was established successfully. A zero or negative value is returned if the connection could not be established. The call BIO_should_retry() should be used for nonblocking connect BIOs to determine if the call should be retried. If a connection has already been established this call has no effect.

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" \s-1SSL\s0 BIOs are exceptional in that if the underlying transport is non blocking they can still request a retry in exceptional circumstances. Specifically this will happen if a session renegotiation takes place during a BIO_read_ex() operation, one case where this happens is when step up occurs.

The \s-1SSL\s0 flag \s-1SSL_AUTO_RETRY\s0 can be set to disable this behaviour. That is when this flag is set an \s-1SSL BIO\s0 using a blocking transport will never request a retry.

Since unknown BIO_ctrl() operations are sent through filter BIOs the servers name and port can be set using BIO_set_host() on the \s-1BIO\s0 returned by BIO_new_ssl_connect() without having to locate the connect \s-1BIO\s0 first.

Applications do not have to call BIO_do_handshake() but may wish to do so to separate the handshake process from other I/O processing.

\fBBIO_set_ssl(), BIO_get_ssl(), BIO_set_ssl_mode(), \fBBIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes(), BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout(), \fBBIO_get_num_renegotiates(), and BIO_do_handshake() are implemented as macros.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBBIO_f_ssl() returns the \s-1SSL\s0 \s-1BIO_METHOD\s0 structure.

\fBBIO_set_ssl(), BIO_get_ssl(), BIO_set_ssl_mode(), BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes(), \fBBIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout() and BIO_get_num_renegotiates() return 1 on success or a value which is less than or equal to 0 if an error occurred.

\fBBIO_new_ssl(), BIO_new_ssl_connect() and BIO_new_buffer_ssl_connect() return a valid \s-1BIO\s0 structure on success or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurred.

\fBBIO_ssl_copy_session_id() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.

\fBBIO_do_handshake() returns 1 if the connection was established successfully. A zero or negative value is returned if the connection could not be established.

"EXAMPLES"
Header "EXAMPLES" This \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 client example attempts to retrieve a page from an \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 web server. The I/O routines are identical to those of the unencrypted example in BIO_s_connect\|(3).

.Vb 5 BIO *sbio, *out; int len; char tmpbuf[1024]; SSL_CTX *ctx; SSL *ssl; \& /* XXX Seed the PRNG if needed. */ \& ctx = SSL_CTX_new(TLS_client_method()); \& /* XXX Set verify paths and mode here. */ \& sbio = BIO_new_ssl_connect(ctx); BIO_get_ssl(sbio, &ssl); if (ssl == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "Can\*(Aqt locate SSL pointer\en"); ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr); exit(1); } \& /* XXX We might want to do other things with ssl here */ \& /* An empty host part means the loopback address */ BIO_set_conn_hostname(sbio, ":https"); \& out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE); if (BIO_do_connect(sbio) <= 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Error connecting to server\en"); ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr); exit(1); } \& /* XXX Could examine ssl here to get connection info */ \& BIO_puts(sbio, "GET / HTTP/1.0\en\en"); for (;;) { len = BIO_read(sbio, tmpbuf, 1024); if (len <= 0) break; BIO_write(out, tmpbuf, len); } BIO_free_all(sbio); BIO_free(out); .Ve

Here is a simple server example. It makes use of a buffering \s-1BIO\s0 to allow lines to be read from the \s-1SSL BIO\s0 using BIO_gets. It creates a pseudo web page containing the actual request from a client and also echoes the request to standard output.

.Vb 5 BIO *sbio, *bbio, *acpt, *out; int len; char tmpbuf[1024]; SSL_CTX *ctx; SSL *ssl; \& /* XXX Seed the PRNG if needed. */ \& ctx = SSL_CTX_new(TLS_server_method()); if (!SSL_CTX_use_certificate_file(ctx, "server.pem", SSL_FILETYPE_PEM) || !SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file(ctx, "server.pem", SSL_FILETYPE_PEM) || !SSL_CTX_check_private_key(ctx)) { fprintf(stderr, "Error setting up SSL_CTX\en"); ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr); exit(1); } \& /* XXX Other things like set verify locations, EDH temp callbacks. */ \& /* New SSL BIO setup as server */ sbio = BIO_new_ssl(ctx, 0); BIO_get_ssl(sbio, &ssl); if (ssl == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "Can\*(Aqt locate SSL pointer\en"); ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr); exit(1); } \& bbio = BIO_new(BIO_f_buffer()); sbio = BIO_push(bbio, sbio); acpt = BIO_new_accept("4433"); \& /* * By doing this when a new connection is established * we automatically have sbio inserted into it. The * BIO chain is now \*(Aqswallowed\*(Aq by the accept BIO and * will be freed when the accept BIO is freed. */ BIO_set_accept_bios(acpt, sbio); out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE); \& /* First call to BIO_do_accept() sets up accept BIO */ if (BIO_do_accept(acpt) <= 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Error setting up accept BIO\en"); ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr); exit(1); } .Ve

/* Second call to BIO_do_accept() waits for incoming connection */ if (BIO_do_accept(acpt) <= 0) { fprintf(stderr, \*(L"Error accepting connection\en\*(R"); ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr); exit\|(1); }

.Vb 3 /* We only want one connection so remove and free accept BIO */ sbio = BIO_pop(acpt); BIO_free_all(acpt); \& if (BIO_do_handshake(sbio) <= 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Error in SSL handshake\en"); ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr); exit(1); } \& BIO_puts(sbio, "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\er\enContent-type: text/plain\er\en\er\en"); BIO_puts(sbio, "\er\enConnection Established\er\enRequest headers:\er\en"); BIO_puts(sbio, "--------------------------------------------------\er\en"); \& for (;;) { len = BIO_gets(sbio, tmpbuf, 1024); if (len <= 0) break; BIO_write(sbio, tmpbuf, len); BIO_write(out, tmpbuf, len); /* Look for blank line signifying end of headers*/ if (tmpbuf[0] == \*(Aq\er\*(Aq || tmpbuf[0] == \*(Aq\en\*(Aq) break; } \& BIO_puts(sbio, "--------------------------------------------------\er\en"); BIO_puts(sbio, "\er\en"); BIO_flush(sbio); BIO_free_all(sbio); .Ve

"HISTORY"
Header "HISTORY" In OpenSSL before 1.0.0 the BIO_pop() call was handled incorrectly, the I/O \s-1BIO\s0 reference count was incorrectly incremented (instead of decremented) and dissociated with the \s-1SSL BIO\s0 even if the \s-1SSL BIO\s0 was not explicitly being popped (e.g. a pop higher up the chain). Applications which included workarounds for this bug (e.g. freeing BIOs more than once) should be modified to handle this fix or they may free up an already freed \s-1BIO.\s0
