v1.11
- fixed errors in accept_SSL which would work when called from start_SSL
but not from accept
v1.10
- start_SSL, accept_SSL and connect_SSL have argument for Timeout
so that the SSL handshake will not block forever. Only used if the
socket is blocking. If not set the Timeout value from the underlying
IO::Socket is used
v1.09
- new method stop_SSL as opposite of start_SSL based on a idea
of Bron Gondwana <brong[AT]fastmail[DOT]fm>
To support this method the SSL_shutdown handling had to be
fixed, e.g. in close a proper unidirectional shutdown
should be done while in stop_SSL a bidirectional shutdown
- try to make it clearer that thread support is buggy
v1.07
- fix t/nonblock.t on systems which have by default a larger
socket buffer. Set SO_SNDBUF explicitly with setsockopt
to force smaller writes on the socket
v1.06
- instead of setting undef args to '' in configure_SSL drop
them. This makes Net::SMTP::SSL working again because it
does not give LocalPort of '' to IO::Socket::INET any more
v1.05
- make session cache working even if the IO::Socket::SSL object
was not created with IO::Socket::SSL->new but with
IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL on an established socket
v1.04
- added way to create SSL object with predefined session
cache, thus making it possible to share the cache between
objects even if the rest of the context is not shared
key SSL_session_cache
Note that the arguments of IO::Socket::SSL::SessionCache::new
changed (but you should never have used this class directly
because it's internal to IO::Socket::SSL)
v1.02
- added some info to BUGS and to BUGS section of pod
- added TELL and BINMODE to IO::Socket::SSL::SSL_HANDLE, even
if they do nothing useful.
- all tests allocate now the ports dynamically, so there should
be no longer a conflict with open ports on the system where
the tests run
v1.01
- work around Bug in Net::HTTPS where it defines sub blocking
as {}, e.g. force scalar context when calling sub blocking
(in IO::Socket::SSL::write)
see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=383106
v1.0
- fix depreciated and practically undocumented function
get_peer_certificate so that LWP Net::HTTPS works again
- set arg 'Blocking' while calling SUPER::configure only
if it was set by the caller to work around Problem in LWP
Net::HTTPS
- If SSL_cipher_list is not given it uses the openssl default
instead of setting it to 'ALL:!LOW:!EXP' like before. The old
value included ADH and this might be a bad idea, see BUGS why.
Resolves PR pkg/34392 by Martin Wilke
v0.998
- declare socket as opened before calling fatal_ssl_error
because the SSL_error_trap set up from HTTP::Daemon
needs this
- accept_SSL sets errors on $socket (the accepted socket)
not $self (the listening socket if called from accept)
so it can be queried from SSL_error_trap
- note in BUGS section that IO::Socket::SSL is not thread-safe
Note: The previous update from 0.97 broke all https:// URLs in p5-libwww,
will address that in next commit (to p5-libwww)
v0.997
- fix readline (e.g. getline,getlines,<>) so that it behaves
regarding $/ like written in the $/ dokumentation.
v0.996
- removed links and comments to inofficial release of
Net::SSLeay, because there is a newer version already
v0.995
- add support for Diffie Hellman Key Exchange.
See parameter SSL_dh_file and SSL_dh.
v0.994
- hide DEBUG statements and remove test to load Debug.pm
because packets like Spamassisin cannot cope with it
(at least the OpenBSD port)
v0.993
- added SSL_cert and SSL_key parameter which do not take
a file name like SSL_cert_file and SSL_key_file but
an internal X509* resp. EVP_PKEY* value. Useful for
dynamically created certificates and keys.
- added test for sysread/syswrite behavior (which was changed
in v0.991)
v0.992
- _set_rw_error does $!||=EAGAIN only if error is one of
SSL_WANT_READ|SSL_WANT_WRITE (patch from Mike Smith
<mike at mailchannels dot com>)
- Fix Makefile.PL to allow detectection of failures in PREREQ_PM
(http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=20563, patch
by alexchorny at gmail dot com)
v0.991
- sysread and syswrite ar no longer the same as read and write,
but can return already if only parts of the data are read
or written (which is the usual semantic for sysread and syswrite)
This should fix problems with HTTP::Daemon::SSL
v0.99
- just upgrade Version number because I've screwed up upload
of v0.98 to cpan
v0.98
- Maintainer changed to <Steffen_Ullrich at genua dot de>
- Better support for nonblocking sockets:
. exports $SSL_ERROR which contains the latest error from
the openssl library. Exports constants SSL_WANT_READ and
SSL_WANT_WRITE es special errors which will be set if
openssl wants to write or read during nonblocking connects,
accepts, reads or writes.
. accept,accept_SSL,connect and connect_SSL don't block
anymore if the socket is nonblocking.
Instead $! will be set from the underlying IO::Socket::INET
connect or accept if it failed there (usually EAGAIN or
EINPROGRESS) or if the underlying openssl needs to read or
write $! will be set to EAGAIN and $SSL_ERROR will be set
to SSL_WANT_READ or SSL_WANT_WRITE
. syswrite returns undef and sets $!,$SSL_ERROR if it fails
to write instead of returning 0.
- Bugfixes (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=Bugid)
. Bug 18439: fileno 0 should be valid
. Bug 15001: sysread interpretes buffer "0" as ""
- peer_certifcate returns X509 struct string if no field
for extraction was specified
- get_peer_certificate returns the certificate instead of the
IO::Socket::SSL object
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
No pkgsrc changes.
Changes since version 0.96:
===========================
v0.97
- Writes now correctly return errors. (Problem noted by
Dominique Quatravaux <dom at idealx.com>).
- CA paths now work without passing an empty SSL_ca_file
argument. (Problem found by Phil Pennock, <phil.pennock
at globnix.org>).
- IO::Socket::SSL now automatically passes Proto => tcp (if
not already specified) to IO::Socket::INET to work around
/etc/services files with udp entries listed first. (Fix
suggested by Phil Pennock).
- $socket->accept() now returns the peer address in array
context for better conformance with IO::Socket::INET.
However, if you were doing "map { $_->accept } (@sockets)",
or similar tricks, you will need to use "scalar" to get the
old behavior back. (Problem noted by Nils Sowen, <n.sowen
at kon.de>).
- IO::Socket::SSL should now properly block on reads larger
than the buffer size of Net::SSLeay. (Problem found by Eric
Jergensen, <eric at dvns.com>).
- IO::Socket::SSL should now send CA Certs (if necessary)
along with certificates. (Problem found by <roy at
momentous.ca>).
- Timeouts should now work, but be aware that if multiple
reads/writes are necessary to complete a connection, then
each one may have a separate timeout. (Request from
Dominique Quatravaux <dom at idealx.com>).
- In certain cases, start_SSL() would misplace a socket's
fileno, causing problems with starting SSL. This should now
be fixed. (Problem found by <russ at zerotech.net>).
- IO::Socket::SSL now requires a minimum of Net::SSLeay 1.21.
- Makefile's error messages now correct if output is
redirected (patch from Ilya Zakharevich).
- Non-blocking connects/accepts now work (Problem found by
Uri Guttman).
- new_from_fd() now works.
- getline() and <> in scalar context now return undef
instead of '' when the read failed. (Problem found by
Christian Gilmore).
- Broken pipe signals are now ignored during socket close
to prevent a SSL shutdown message from killing the parent
program. (Problem found by Christian Gilmore).
- Tests should proceed much more quickly, and a semi-race was
fixed, meaning that on slow machines the tests should be
more reliable.
- Check for Scalar::Util and Weakref now uses default
$SIG{__DIE__} instead of a potentially user-altered one
(suggestion from Olaf Schneider). This only applies to Perl 5.6.0 & above.
- Session caching support (patch from Marko Asplund).
- set_default_context() added to alter the behavior of
modules that use IO::Socket::SSL from the main program.
- get_ssl_object() renamed to _get_ssl_object() to reflect
the fact that it's only supposed to be used internally
(not that you should have cared, of course).
- Added patch for Net::SSLeay to take advantage of
client-side session caching. (i.e. use 1.26 of Net-SSLeay)
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.
addresses PR pkg/28619 from H. Todd Fujinaka.
include:
- Better opened() behavior when sockets close unexpectedly.
- Added support for WeakRef and Scalar::Util to allow
IO::Socket::SSL objects to auto-destroy themselves when
they go out of scope.
- Added croak()ing for unimplemented send() and recv() methods
so they are not accidentally used to transmit unencrypted
data. The Perl builtin functions cannot be reliably trapped
and are still dangerous, a fact that the POD now reflects
- Changed accept() to use inherited accept() instead of
IO::Socket::accept, so that IPv6 inheritance is possible.
- Added options to import() so that a user could specify
IPv6 or IPv4 mode of operation.
From the change log:
- Changed the fileno() function to support returning the fileno
of server sockets. (Problem found by Roland Giersig
<RGiersig at cpan org>).
- Fixed SSL_version incorrectly defaulting to SSLv2 (patch from
Roland Alder <roland.alder at celeris ch>).
Two recent changes :
v0.91
- Added support for SSL_peek and SSL_pending (peek() and
pending()). Updated documentation, tests, etc. to reflect
this.
v0.901 2002.08.19
- Fixed the warning that happens when sockets are not explicitly
closed() before the program terminates.
For full log, please see Changes
- fmt on DESCR
Changes :
- calling context_init twice destroyed global context. fix from
Jason Heiss <jheiss@ofb.net>.
- file handle tying interface implementation moved to a separate
class to prevent problems resulting from self-tying filehandles.
Harmon S. Nine <hnine@netarx.com>.
- docs/debugging.txt file added
- require Net::SSLeay v1.08
- preliminary support for non-blocking read/write
- socketToSSL() now respects context's SSL verify setting
reported by Uri Guttman <uri@stemsystems.com>.
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.
IO::Socket::SSL is a class implementing an object-oriented interface to
SSL sockets. The class is a descendent of IO::Socket::INET and provides a
subset of the base class's interface methods as well as SSL-specific methods.
