NAME

Socket::Class::SSL - SSL support for Socket::Class

SYNOPSIS

use Socket::Class::SSL;

$ssl = Socket::Class::SSL->new( ... );

$ssl = Socket::Class::SSL->starttls( $sock );

DESCRIPTION

The module inherits Socket::Class and adds SSL support implemented by the OpenSSL Toolkit. Only the differences to Socket::Class are documented here.

Functions in alphabetical order

EXAMPLES

Simple HTTPS Server

use Socket::Class::SSL;

$s = Socket::Class::SSL->new(
    'local_port' => 10443,
    'listen' => 10,
    #'private_key' => 'cert/server.key',
    #'certificate' => 'cert/server.crt',
) or die Socket::Class->error;

while( $c = $s->accept ) {
    # read request header
    while( $l = $c->readline ) {
        print $l, "\n";
    }
    # send response header
    $c->write(
        "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n" .
        "Server: SSL Server\r\n" .
        "\r\n"
    );
    # send response content
    $c->write( "content" );
}

Simple HTTPS Client

use Socket::Class::SSL;

$c = Socket::Class::SSL->new(
    'remote_port' => 10443,
) or die Socket::Class->error;

# send request
$c->write(
    "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n" .
    "Host: localhost\r\n" .
    "\r\n"
);

# read response header
while( $l = $c->readline ) {
    print $l, "\n";
}

# read response content
$c->read( $buf, 1048576 );
print $buf;

               See Socket::Class::SSL::CTX for details

More information about the arguments are documented in the functions below.

See Also

Socket::Class::SSL::CTX to create a shared context

starttls ( $sock [, %arg] )
startssl ( $sock [, %arg] )

Starts a SSL/TLS session on a connected socket. startssl() if a synonym for starttls().

Parameters

$sock

A Socket::Class object.

%arg

Same arguments as described in new() plus one argument:

server         Set this to a true value on server side

Return Values

Returns a Socket::Class::SSL object on success or UNDEF on failure.

Example

$sock = Socket::Class->new(
    'remote_host' => 'localhost',
    'remote_port' => 'smtp',
    'blocking' => 0,
);
$sock->is_readable or die 'Socket is not readable';
print $sock->readline, "\n";
$sock->writeline( 'EHLO localhost' );
$sock->is_readable or die 'Socket is not readable';
while( $line = $sock->readline ) {
    print $line, "\n";
    $starttls = 1 if index( $line, 'STARTTLS' ) > 0;
}
if( $starttls ) {
    $sock->writeline( 'STARTTLS' );
    $sock->is_readable or die 'Socket is not readable';
    print $sock->readline, "\n";
    $sock->set_blocking( 1 );
    # start tls
    $ssl = Socket::Class::SSL->starttls( $sock )
        or die 'TLS initialization failed: ' . $sock->error;
    # use the ssl socket
    $sock = $ssl;
    $sock->writeline( 'HELO localhost' );
    $sock->set_blocking( 0 );
    $sock->is_readable or die 'Socket is not readable';
    print $sock->readline, "\n";
}
...
set_certificate ( $certificate )

Adds a certificate chain. The certificates must be in PEM format and must be sorted starting with the subject`s certificate (actual client or server certificate), followed by intermediate CA certificates if applicable, and ending at the highest level (root) CA.

Parameters

$certificate

Path to certificate file in PEM format.

Return Values

Returns a TRUE value on success or UNDEF on failure.

set_private_key ( $private_key )

Adds a private key to the socket. To change a certificate, private key pair the new certificate needs to be set before setting the private key.

Parameters

$private_key

Path to private key file in PEM format.

Return Values

Returns a TRUE value on success or UNDEF on failure.

check_private_key ()

Verifies that the private key agrees with the corresponding public key in the certificate.

Returns a TRUE value on success or UNDEF on failure.

The most likely causes of errors:

  • The private key file does not match the corresponding public key in the certificate.

  • A certificate file was not loaded.

  • A key file was not loaded.

set_client_ca ( $client_ca )

Reads a file of PEM formatted certificates and sets the list of CA names sent to the client when requesting a client certificate

Parameters

$client_ca

Path to PEM formatted file with CA certificates to send to the client.

Return Values

Returns a true value on success or undef on failure.

Note

The CAs listed do not become trusted (list only contains the names, not the complete certificates); use set_verify_locations() to additionally load them for verification.

These function is only useful for TLS/SSL servers.

set_verify_locations ( $ca_file, $ca_path )

Specifies the locations at which CA certificates for verification purposes are located.

When building its own certificate chain, an OpenSSL client/server will try to fill in missing certificates from $ca_file/$ca_path, if the certificate chain was not explicitly specified.

Parameters

$ca_file

If $ca_file is defined, it points to a file of CA certificates in PEM format. The file can contain several CA certificates identified by

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

sequences. Before, between, and after the certificates text is allowed which can be used e.g. for descriptions of the certificates.

$ca_path

If $ca_path is defined, it points to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. Each file contains one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exists, the extension must be different (e.g. 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1 etc). The search is performed in the order of the extension numbers, regardless of other properties of the certificates.

When looking up CA certificates, the OpenSSL library will search the certificates in $ca_file first, then those in $ca_path. Certificate matching is done based on the subject name, the key identifier (if present), and the serial number as taken from the certificate to be verified. If these data do not match, the next certificate will be tried. The verification process will be performed on the first matching certificate. In case of failure no other certificates with the same parameters are searched.

Return Values

Returns a true value on success or undef on failure.

Note

In server mode, when requesting a client certificate, the server must send the list of CAs to accept client certificates. This list is not influenced by the contents of $ca_file or $ca_path and must explicitly be set using the set_client_ca() function.

create_client_context ()

Creates a SSL context explicitly for use in client sockets.

The connect() function implicitly creates the client context.

create_server_context ()

Creates a SSL context explicitly for use in server sockets.

The listen() function implicitly creates the server context.

enable_compatibility ()

Enables all bug workarounds available with the OpenSSL library.

See http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_options.html for a list.

get_cipher_name ()

Returns the name of the cipher in the current connection, or undef if no connection exists.

get_cipher_version ()

Returns the version of the cipher in the current connection, or undef if no connection exists.

set_ssl_method ( $name )

Sets the ssl method.

Parameters

$name

One of "SSLv2", "SSLv23", "SSLv3" or "TLSv1"

Return Values

Returns a true value on success or undef on failure.

set_cipher_list ( $str )

Sets the list of available ciphers using the control string $str.

Parameters

$str

The cipher list consists of one or more cipher strings separated by colons. Commas or spaces are also acceptable separators but colons are normally used.

See http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_LIST_FORMAT for details.

Return Values

Returns a true value on success or undef on failure.

XS / C API

The module provides a C interface for extension writers.

Example XS

#include <mod_sc_ssl.h>

/* global pointer to the socket class ssl interface */
mod_sc_ssl_t *g_mod_sc_ssl;

MODULE = MyModule		PACKAGE = MyModule

BOOT:
{
    SV **psv;
    psv = hv_fetch(PL_modglobal, "Socket::Class::SSL", 18, 0);
    if (psv == NULL)
        croak("Socket::Class::SSL required");
    g_mod_sc_ssl = INT2PTR(mod_sc_ssl_t *, SvIV(*psv));
}

void
test()
PREINIT:
    sc_t *socket;
    char *args[8];
    int r;
    SV *sv;
PPCODE:
    args[0] = "local_port";
    args[1] = "443";
    args[2] = "listen";
    args[3] = "10";
    args[4] = "private_key";
    args[5] = "/path/to/private_key.pem";
    args[6] = "certificate";
    args[7] = "/path/to/certificate.pem";
    r = g_mod_sc_ssl->sc_create(args, 8, &socket);
    if (r != SC_OK)
        croak(g_mod_sc_ssl->sc_get_error(NULL));
    g_mod_sc_ssl->sc_create_class(socket, NULL, &sv);
    ST(0) = sv_2mortal(sv);
    XSRETURN(1);

See mod_sc_ssl.h for the definition.

Use Socket::Class::SSL::include_path() to get the path to mod_sc_ssl.h.
