<p>The <strong><em>SSL_Read()</em></strong> function is used by a program to

receive data from an SSL-enabled socket descriptor.</p>

<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The <em>SSL_Read()</em> function is only valid on sockets that have an
|
|
address family of <samp>AF_INET</samp> or <samp>AF_INET6</samp> and a socket type of <samp>SOCK_STREAM</samp>. If the descriptor
|
|
pointed to by the <em>handle</em> structure parameter does not have the correct
|
|
address family and socket type, [SSL_ERROR_IO] is returned and the
|
|
<em>errno</em> value is set to EINVAL.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The maximum length of data returned will not exceed 32 KB. This is due to
|
|
the fact that SSL is a record level protocol and the largest record allowed is
|
|
32 KB minus the necessary SSL record headers.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If the <em>createFlags</em> field in the <em>SSLHandle</em> specifies a
|
|
value that does not include the SSL_ENCRYPT flag, this function will simply
|
|
call the sockets <em>read()</em> function.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Unpredictable results will occur when attempting to mix invocations to
|
|
<em>SSL_Read()</em> and any of the sockets read functions (<em>recv()</em>,
|
|
<em>read()</em>, <em>readv()</em>, and so forth). It is strongly suggested that
|
|
you do not mix the <em>SSL_Read()</em> API with any of the sockets read
|
|
functions.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Since SSL is a record-oriented protocol, SSL must receive an entire record
|
|
before it can be decrypted and any data returned to the application. Thus, a
|
|
<em>select()</em> may indicate that data is available to be read, but a
|
|
subsequent <em>SSL_Read()</em> may hang waiting for the remainder of the SSL
|
|
record to be received when using blocking I/O.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A FIONREAD <em>ioctl()</em> cannot be used to determine the amount of data
|
|
available for reading by using <em>SSL_Read()</em>.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>SSL will ignore the out of band (OOB) data indicator. OOB will not affect
|
|
the SSL application. OOB will just be data to the SSL protocol.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>For an SSL enabled socket, which must use a connection-oriented transport
|
|
service (that is, TCP), a returned value of zero indicates one of the
|
|
following:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The partner program has issued a close() for the socket.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The partner program has issued a shutdown() to disable writing to the
|
|
socket.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The connection is broken and the error was returned on a previously issued
|
|
socket function.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A shutdown() to disable reading was previously done on the socket.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>If an SSL_Read() is run on a socket that is set to non-blocking mode, and
|
|
there is no data waiting to be read on the SSL enabled socket, the return value
|
|
will be equal to -10 and the errno will be set to EWOULDBLOCK.</li>
|
|
</ol>
