DESCRIPTION
BIO_f_ssl() returns the SSL BIO method. This is a filter BIO which is a
wrapper round the OpenSSL SSL routines adding a BIO "flavour" to SSL
I/O.
I/O performed on an SSL BIO communicates using the SSL protocol with
the SSLs read and write BIOs. If an SSL connection is not established
then an attempt is made to establish one on the first I/O call.
If a BIO is appended to an SSL BIO using BIO_push() it is automatically
used as the SSL BIOs read and write BIOs.
Calling BIO_reset() on an SSL BIO closes down any current SSL connec-
tion by calling SSL_shutdown(). BIO_reset() is then sent to the next
BIO in the chain: this will typically disconnect the underlying trans-
port. The SSL BIO is then reset to the initial accept or connect
state.
If the close flag is set when an SSL BIO is freed then the internal SSL
structure is also freed using SSL_free().
BIO_set_ssl() sets the internal SSL pointer of BIO b to ssl using the
close flag c.
BIO_get_ssl() retrieves the SSL pointer of BIO b, it can then be manip-
ulated using the standard SSL library functions.
BIO_set_ssl_mode() sets the SSL BIO mode to client. If client is 1
client mode is set. If client is 0 server mode is set.
BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes() sets the renegotiate byte count to num.
When set after every num bytes of I/O (read and write) the SSL session
is automatically renegotiated. num must be at least 512 bytes.
BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout() sets the renegotiate timeout to sec-
onds. When the renegotiate timeout elapses the session is automatically
renegotiated.
BIO_get_num_renegotiates() returns the total number of session renego-
tiations due to I/O or timeout.
BIO_new_ssl() allocates an SSL BIO using SSL_CTX ctx and using client
mode if client is non zero.
BIO_new_ssl_connect() creates a new BIO chain consisting of an SSL BIO
(using ctx) followed by a connect BIO.
BIO_new_buffer_ssl_connect() creates a new BIO chain consisting of a
buffering BIO, an SSL BIO (using ctx) and a connect BIO.
BIO_ssl_copy_session_id() copies an SSL session id between BIO chains
from and to. It does this by locating the SSL BIOs in each chain and
calling SSL_copy_session_id() on the internal SSL pointer.
BIO_ssl_shutdown() closes down an SSL connection on BIO chain bio. It
does this by locating the SSL BIO in the chain and calling SSL_shut-
down() on its internal SSL pointer.
BIO_do_handshake() attempts to complete an SSL handshake on the sup-
plied BIO and establish the SSL connection. It returns 1 if the connec-
tion 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 non blocking connect BIOs to determine if the call
should be retried. If an SSL connection has already been established
this call has no effect.
NOTES
SSL 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() operation, one case where this happens is when step
up occurs.
In OpenSSL 0.9.6 and later the SSL flag SSL_AUTO_RETRY can be set to
disable this behaviour. That is when this flag is set an SSL BIO 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 BIO
returned by BIO_new_ssl_connect() without having to locate the connect
BIO 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.

EXAMPLE
This SSL/TLS client example, attempts to retrieve a page from an
SSL/TLS web server. The I/O routines are identical to those of the
unencrypted example in BIO_s_connect(3).
BIO *sbio, *out;
int len;
char tmpbuf[1024];
SSL_CTX *ctx;
SSL *ssl;
ERR_load_crypto_strings();
ERR_load_SSL_strings();
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms();
/* We would seed the PRNG here if the platform didn't
* do it automatically
*/
ctx = SSL_CTX_new(SSLv23_client_method());
/* We'd normally set some stuff like the verify paths and
* mode here because as things stand this will connect to
* any server whose certificate is signed by any CA.
*/
sbio = BIO_new_ssl_connect(ctx);
BIO_get_ssl(sbio, &ssl);
if(!ssl) {
fprintf(stderr, "Can't locate SSL pointer\n");
/* whatever ... */
}
/* Don't want any retries */
SSL_set_mode(ssl, SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY);
/* We might want to do other things with ssl here */

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

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 'swallowed' by the accept BIO and
* will be freed when the accept BIO is freed.
*/

out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE);
/* Setup accept BIO */
if(BIO_do_accept(acpt) <= 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error setting up accept BIO\n");
ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
return 0;
}
/* Now wait for incoming connection */
if(BIO_do_accept(acpt) <= 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error in connection\n");
ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
return 0;
}
/* We only want one connection so remove and free
* accept BIO
*/
sbio = BIO_pop(acpt);
BIO_free_all(acpt);

BIO_puts(sbio, "--------------------------------------------------\r\n");
for(;;) {

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] == '\r') || (tmpbuf[0] == '\n')) break;
}
BIO_puts(sbio, "--------------------------------------------------\r\n");

/* Since there is a buffering BIO present we had better flush it */
BIO_flush(sbio);
BIO_free_all(sbio);
BUGS
In OpenSSL versions before 1.0.0 the BIO_pop() call was handled incor-
rectly, the I/O BIO reference count was incorrectly incremented
(instead of decremented) and dissociated with the SSL BIO even if the
SSL BIO 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 BIO.
