DESCRIPTION
SSL_CTX_set_mode() adds the mode set via bitmask in mode to ctx.
Options already set before are not cleared.
SSL_set_mode() adds the mode set via bitmask in mode to ssl.
Options already set before are not cleared.
SSL_CTX_get_mode() returns the mode set for ctx.
SSL_get_mode() returns the mode set for ssl.
NOTES
The following mode changes are available:
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().
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().
SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY
Never bother the application with retries if the transport is blocking.
If a renegotiation take place during normal operation, a
SSL_read(3) or 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.
RETURN VALUES
SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_set_mode() return the new mode bitmask
after adding mode.
SSL_CTX_get_mode() and SSL_get_mode() return the current bitmask.
