Public Class Methods

new(io) => aSSLSocket click to toggle source

new(io, ctx) => aSSLSocket

Creates a new SSL socket from io which must be a real ruby object (not an IO-like object that responds to read/write.

If ctx is provided the SSL Sockets initial params will be taken from the context.

The OpenSSL::Buffering module provides additional IO methods.

This method will freeze the SSLContext if one is provided; however, session management is still allowed in the frozen SSLContext.

Public Instance Methods

accept => self click to toggle source

               static VALUE
ossl_ssl_accept(VALUE self)
{
    ossl_ssl_setup(self);
    return ossl_start_ssl(self, SSL_accept, "SSL_accept", 0);
}

accept_nonblock => self click to toggle source

Initiates the SSL/TLS handshake as a server in non-blocking manner.

# emulates blocking accept
begin
  ssl.accept_nonblock
rescue IO::WaitReadable
  IO.select([s2])
  retry
rescue IO::WaitWritable
  IO.select(nil, [s2])
  retry
end
