SSL_CTX_set_mode() adds the mode set via bitmask in B<mode> to B<ctx>.
20
Options already set before are not cleared.
22
SSL_set_mode() adds the mode set via bitmask in B<mode> to B<ssl>.
23
Options already set before are not cleared.
25
SSL_CTX_get_mode() returns the mode set for B<ctx>.
27
SSL_get_mode() returns the mode set for B<ssl>.
31
The following mode changes are available:
35
=item SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE
37
Allow SSL_write(..., n) to return r with 0 < r < n (i.e. report success
38
when just a single record has been written). When not set (the default),
39
SSL_write() will only report success once the complete chunk was written.
40
Once SSL_write() returns with r, r bytes have been successfully written
41
and the next call to SSL_write() must only send the n-r bytes left,
42
imitating the behaviour of write().
44
=item SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER
46
Make it possible to retry SSL_write() with changed buffer location
47
(the buffer contents must stay the same). This is not the default to avoid
48
the misconception that non-blocking SSL_write() behaves like
51
=item SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY
53
Never bother the application with retries if the transport is blocking.
54
If a renegotiation take place during normal operation, a
55
L<SSL_read(3)|SSL_read(3)> or L<SSL_write(3)|SSL_write(3)> would return
56
with -1 and indicate the need to retry with SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ.
57
In a non-blocking environment applications must be prepared to handle
58
incomplete read/write operations.
59
In a blocking environment, applications are not always prepared to
60
deal with read/write operations returning without success report. The
61
flag SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY will cause read/write operations to only
62
return after the handshake and successful completion.
68
SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_set_mode() return the new mode bitmask
71
SSL_CTX_get_mode() and SSL_get_mode() return the current bitmask.
