SSL_connect - initiate the TLS/SSL handshake with an TLS/SSL server
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
int SSL_connect(SSL *ssl);
SSL_connect() initiates the TLS/SSL handshake with a server.
The communication channel must already have been set and assigned to the ssl by setting an underlying BIO.
The behaviour of SSL_connect() depends on the underlying BIO.
If the underlying BIO is blocking, SSL_connect() will only return once the handshake has been
finished or an error occurred.
If the underlying BIO is non-blocking, SSL_connect() will also return when the underlying BIO could
not satisfy the needs of SSL_connect() to continue the
handshake, indicating the problem by the return value -1. In this case a
call to SSL_get_error() with the return value of
SSL_connect() will yield SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ or
SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE. The calling process then must repeat the call after taking appropriate
action to satisfy the needs of SSL_connect(). The action
depends on the underlying BIO. When using a non-blocking socket, nothing is
to be done, but select() can be used to check for the required
condition. When using a buffering BIO, like a BIO pair, data must be
written into or retrieved out of the BIO before being able to continue.
The following return values can occur:
The TLS/SSL handshake was successfully completed, a TLS/SSL connection has been established.
The TLS/SSL handshake was not successful but was shut down controlled and
by the specifications of the TLS/SSL protocol. Call
SSL_get_error() with the return value ret to find out the reason.
The TLS/SSL handshake was not successful, because a fatal error occurred
either at the protocol level or a connection failure occurred. The shutdown
was not clean. It can also occur of action is need to continue the
operation for non-blocking BIOs. Call SSL_get_error() with the
return value ret
to find out the reason.
