32
34 BIO_f_ssl() returns the SSL BIO method. This is a filter BIO which is a
35 wrapper round the OpenSSL SSL routines adding a BIO "flavour" to SSL
36 I/O.
37
38 I/O performed on an SSL BIO communicates using the SSL protocol with
39 the SSLs read and write BIOs. If an SSL connection is not established
40 then an attempt is made to establish one on the first I/O call.
41
42 If a BIO is appended to an SSL BIO using BIO_push() it is automatically
43 used as the SSL BIOs read and write BIOs.
44
45 Calling BIO_reset() on an SSL BIO closes down any current SSL
46 connection by calling SSL_shutdown(). BIO_reset() is then sent to the
47 next BIO in the chain: this will typically disconnect the underlying
48 transport. The SSL BIO is then reset to the initial accept or connect
49 state.
50
51 If the close flag is set when an SSL BIO is freed then the internal SSL
52 structure is also freed using SSL_free().
53
54 BIO_set_ssl() sets the internal SSL pointer of BIO b to ssl using the
55 close flag c.
56
57 BIO_get_ssl() retrieves the SSL pointer of BIO b, it can then be
58 manipulated using the standard SSL library functions.
59
60 BIO_set_ssl_mode() sets the SSL BIO mode to client. If client is 1
61 client mode is set. If client is 0 server mode is set.
62
63 BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes() sets the renegotiate byte count to num.
64 When set after every num bytes of I/O (read and write) the SSL session
65 is automatically renegotiated. num must be at least 512 bytes.
66
67 BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout() sets the renegotiate timeout to
68 seconds. When the renegotiate timeout elapses the session is
69 automatically renegotiated.
70
71 BIO_get_num_renegotiates() returns the total number of session
72 renegotiations due to I/O or timeout.
73
74 BIO_new_ssl() allocates an SSL BIO using SSL_CTX ctx and using client
75 mode if client is non zero.
76
77 BIO_new_ssl_connect() creates a new BIO chain consisting of an SSL BIO
78 (using ctx) followed by a connect BIO.
79
80 BIO_new_buffer_ssl_connect() creates a new BIO chain consisting of a
81 buffering BIO, an SSL BIO (using ctx) and a connect BIO.
82
83 BIO_ssl_copy_session_id() copies an SSL session id between BIO chains
84 from and to. It does this by locating the SSL BIOs in each chain and
85 calling SSL_copy_session_id() on the internal SSL pointer.
86
87 BIO_ssl_shutdown() closes down an SSL connection on BIO chain bio. It
88 does this by locating the SSL BIO in the chain and calling
89 SSL_shutdown() on its internal SSL pointer.
90
91 BIO_do_handshake() attempts to complete an SSL handshake on the
92 supplied BIO and establish the SSL connection. It returns 1 if the
93 connection was established successfully. A zero or negative value is
94 returned if the connection could not be established, the call
95 BIO_should_retry() should be used for non blocking connect BIOs to
96 determine if the call should be retried. If an SSL connection has
97 already been established this call has no effect.
98
100 SSL BIOs are exceptional in that if the underlying transport is non
101 blocking they can still request a retry in exceptional circumstances.
102 Specifically this will happen if a session renegotiation takes place
103 during a BIO_read_ex() operation, one case where this happens is when
104 step up occurs.
105
106 The SSL flag SSL_AUTO_RETRY can be set to disable this behaviour. That
107 is when this flag is set an SSL BIO using a blocking transport will
108 never request a retry.
109
110 Since unknown BIO_ctrl() operations are sent through filter BIOs the
111 servers name and port can be set using BIO_set_host() on the BIO
112 returned by BIO_new_ssl_connect() without having to locate the connect
113 BIO first.
114
115 Applications do not have to call BIO_do_handshake() but may wish to do
116 so to separate the handshake process from other I/O processing.
117
118 BIO_set_ssl(), BIO_get_ssl(), BIO_set_ssl_mode(),
119 BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes(), BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout(),
120 BIO_get_num_renegotiates(), and BIO_do_handshake() are implemented as
121 macros.
122
124 BIO_f_ssl() returns the SSL BIO_METHOD structure.
125
126 BIO_set_ssl(), BIO_get_ssl(), BIO_set_ssl_mode(),
127 BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes(), BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout() and
128 BIO_get_num_renegotiates() return 1 on success or a value which is less
129 than or equal to 0 if an error occurred.
130
131 BIO_new_ssl(), BIO_new_ssl_connect() and BIO_new_buffer_ssl_connect()
132 return a valid BIO structure on success or NULL if an error occurred.
133
134 BIO_ssl_copy_session_id() returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
135
136 BIO_do_handshake() returns 1 if the connection was established
137 successfully. A zero or negative value is returned if the connection
138 could not be established.
139
141 This SSL/TLS client example attempts to retrieve a page from an SSL/TLS
142 web server. The I/O routines are identical to those of the unencrypted

197 Here is a simple server example. It makes use of a buffering BIO to
198 allow lines to be read from the SSL BIO using BIO_gets. It creates a

200 echoes the request to standard output.

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