DESCRIPTION
       Net::SSLeay module contains perl bindings to openssl
       (<http://www.openssl.org>) library.

       COMPATIBILITY NOTE: Net::SSLeay cannot be built with pre-0.9.3 openssl.
       It is strongly recommended to use at least 0.9.7 (as older versions are
       not tested during development). Some low level API functions may be
       available with certain openssl versions.

       It is compatible with OpenSSL 1.0 and 1.1. Some functions are not
       available under OpenSSL 1.1.

       Net::SSLeay module basically comprise of:

       ·   High level functions for accessing web servers (by using
	   HTTP/HTTPS)

       ·   Low level API (mostly mapped 1:1 to openssl's C functions)

       ·   Convenience functions (related to low level API but with more perl
	   friendly interface)

       There is also a related module called Net::SSLeay::Handle included in
       this distribution that you might want to use instead. It has its own
       pod documentation.

   High level functions for accessing web servers
       This module offers some high level convenience functions for accessing
       web pages on SSL servers (for symmetry, the same API is offered for
       accessing http servers, too), an "sslcat()" function for writing your
       own clients, and finally access to the SSL api of the SSLeay/OpenSSL
       package so you can write servers or clients for more complicated
       applications.

       For high level functions it is most convenient to import them into your
       main namespace as indicated in the synopsis.

       Basic set of functions

       ·   get_https

       ·   post_https

       ·   put_https

       ·   head_https

       ·   do_https

       ·   sslcat

       ·   https_cat

       ·   make_form

       ·   make_headers

       Case 1 (in SYNOPSIS) demonstrates the typical invocation of get_https()
       to fetch an HTML page from secure server. The first argument provides
       the hostname or IP in dotted decimal notation of the remote server to
       contact. The second argument is the TCP port at the remote end (your
       own port is picked arbitrarily from high numbered ports as usual for
       TCP). The third argument is the URL of the page without the host name
       part. If in doubt consult the HTTP specifications at
       <http://www.w3c.org>.

       Case 2 (in SYNOPSIS) demonstrates full fledged use of "get_https()". As
       can be seen, "get_https()" parses the response and response headers and
       returns them as a list, which can be captured in a hash for later
       reference. Also a fourth argument to "get_https()" is used to insert
       some additional headers in the request. "make_headers()" is a function
       that will convert a list or hash to such headers. By default
       "get_https()" supplies "Host" (to make virtual hosting easy) and
       "Accept" (reportedly needed by IIS) headers.

       Case 2b (in SYNOPSIS) demonstrates how to get a password protected
       page. Refer to the HTTP protocol specifications for further details
       (e.g. RFC-2617).

       Case 3 (in SYNOPSIS) invokes "post_https()" to submit a HTML/CGI form
       to a secure server. The first four arguments are equal to "get_https()"
       (note that the empty string ('') is passed as header argument).	The
       fifth argument is the contents of the form formatted according to CGI
       specification.  Do not post UTF-8 data as content: use utf8::downgrade
       first. In this case the helper function "make_https()" is used to do
       the formatting, but you could pass any string. "post_https()"
       automatically adds "Content-Type" and "Content-Length" headers to the
       request.

       Case 4 (in SYNOPSIS) shows the fundamental "sslcat()" function
       (inspired in spirit by the "netcat" utility :-). It's your swiss army
       knife that allows you to easily contact servers, send some data, and
       then get the response. You are responsible for formatting the data and
       parsing the response - "sslcat()" is just a transport.

       Case 5 (in SYNOPSIS) is a full invocation of "sslcat()" which allows
       the return of errors as well as the server (peer) certificate.

       The $trace global variable can be used to control the verbosity of the
       high level functions. Level 0 guarantees silence, level 1 (the default)
       only emits error messages.

       Alternate versions of high-level API

       ·   get_https3

       ·   post_https3

       ·   put_https3

       ·   get_https4

       ·   post_https4

       ·   put_https4

       The above mentioned functions actually return the response headers as a
       list, which only gets converted to hash upon assignment (this
       assignment looses information if the same header occurs twice, as may
       be the case with cookies). There are also other variants of the
       functions that return unprocessed headers and that return a reference
       to a hash.

	 ($page, $response, @headers) = get_https('www.bacus.pt', 443, '/');
	 for ($i = 0; $i < $#headers; $i+=2) {
	     print "$headers[$i] = " . $headers[$i+1] . "\n";
	 }

	 ($page, $response, $headers, $server_cert)
	   = get_https3('www.bacus.pt', 443, '/');
	 print "$headers\n";

	 ($page, $response, $headers_ref)
	   = get_https4('www.bacus.pt', 443, '/');
	 for $k (sort keys %{$headers_ref}) {
	     for $v (@{$$headers_ref{$k}}) {
		 print "$k = $v\n";
	     }
	 }

       All of the above code fragments accomplish the same thing: display all
       values of all headers. The API functions ending in "3" return the
       headers simply as a scalar string and it is up to the application to
       split them up. The functions ending in "4" return a reference to a hash
       of arrays (see perlref and perllol if you are not familiar with complex
       perl data structures). To access a single value of such a header hash
       you would do something like

	 print $$headers_ref{COOKIE}[0];

       Variants 3 and 4 also allow you to discover the server certificate in
       case you would like to store or display it, e.g.

	 ($p, $resp, $hdrs, $server_cert) = get_https3('www.bacus.pt', 443, '/');
	 if (!defined($server_cert) || ($server_cert == 0)) {
	     warn "Subject Name: undefined, Issuer  Name: undefined";
	 } else {
	     warn 'Subject Name: '
		 . Net::SSLeay::X509_NAME_oneline(
			Net::SSLeay::X509_get_subject_name($server_cert))
		     . 'Issuer	Name: '
			 . Net::SSLeay::X509_NAME_oneline(
				Net::SSLeay::X509_get_issuer_name($server_cert));
	 }

       Beware that this method only allows after the fact verification of the
       certificate: by the time "get_https3()" has returned the https request
       has already been sent to the server, whether you decide to trust it or
       not. To do the verification correctly you must either employ the
       OpenSSL certificate verification framework or use the lower level API
       to first connect and verify the certificate and only then send the http
       data. See the implementation of "ds_https3()" for guidance on how to do
       this.

       Using client certificates

       Secure web communications are encrypted using symmetric crypto keys
       exchanged using encryption based on the certificate of the server.
       Therefore in all SSL connections the server must have a certificate.
       This serves both to authenticate the server to the clients and to
       perform the key exchange.

       Sometimes it is necessary to authenticate the client as well. Two
       options are available: HTTP basic authentication and a client side
       certificate. The basic authentication over HTTPS is actually quite safe
       because HTTPS guarantees that the password will not travel in the
       clear. Never-the-less, problems like easily guessable passwords remain.
       The client certificate method involves authentication of the client at
       the SSL level using a certificate. For this to work, both the client
       and the server have certificates (which typically are different) and
       private keys.

       The API functions outlined above accept additional arguments that allow
       one to supply the client side certificate and key files. The format of
       these files is the same as used for server certificates and the caveat
       about encrypting private keys applies.

	 ($page, $result, %headers) =					# 2c
		= get_https('www.bacus.pt', 443, '/protected.html',
		     make_headers(Authorization =>
				  'Basic ' . MIME::Base64::encode("$user:$pass",'')),
		     '', $mime_type6, $path_to_crt7, $path_to_key8);

	 ($page, $response, %reply_headers)
		= post_https('www.bacus.pt', 443, '/foo.cgi',		# 3b
		     make_headers('Authorization' =>
				  'Basic ' . MIME::Base64::encode("$user:$pass",'')),
		     make_form(OK   => '1', name => 'Sampo'),
		     $mime_type6, $path_to_crt7, $path_to_key8);

       Case 2c (in SYNOPSIS) demonstrates getting a password protected page
       that also requires a client certificate, i.e. it is possible to use
       both authentication methods simultaneously.

       Case 3b (in SYNOPSIS) is a full blown POST to a secure server that
       requires both password authentication and a client certificate, just
       like in case 2c.

       Note: The client will not send a certificate unless the server requests
       one.  This is typically achieved by setting the verify mode to
       "VERIFY_PEER" on the server:

	 Net::SSLeay::set_verify(ssl, Net::SSLeay::VERIFY_PEER, 0);

       See "perldoc ~openssl/doc/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_verify.pod" for a full
       description.

       Working through a web proxy

       ·   set_proxy

       "Net::SSLeay" can use a web proxy to make its connections. You need to
       first set the proxy host and port using "set_proxy()" and then just use
       the normal API functions, e.g:

	 Net::SSLeay::set_proxy('gateway.myorg.com', 8080);
	 ($page) = get_https('www.bacus.pt', 443, '/');

       If your proxy requires authentication, you can supply a username and
       password as well

	 Net::SSLeay::set_proxy('gateway.myorg.com', 8080, 'joe', 'salainen');
	 ($page, $result, %headers) =
		= get_https('www.bacus.pt', 443, '/protected.html',
		     make_headers(Authorization =>
				  'Basic ' . MIME::Base64::encode("susie:pass",''))
		     );

       This example demonstrates the case where we authenticate to the proxy
       as "joe" and to the final web server as "susie". Proxy authentication
       requires the "MIME::Base64" module to work.

       HTTP (without S) API

       ·   get_http

       ·   post_http

       ·   tcpcat

       ·   get_httpx

       ·   post_httpx

       ·   tcpxcat

       Over the years it has become clear that it would be convenient to use
       the light-weight flavour API of "Net::SSLeay" for normal HTTP as well
       (see "LWP" for the heavy-weight object-oriented approach). In fact it
       would be nice to be able to flip https on and off on the fly. Thus
       regular HTTP support was evolved.

	 use Net::SSLeay qw(get_http post_http tcpcat
			     get_httpx post_httpx tcpxcat
			     make_headers make_form);

	 ($page, $result, %headers)
		= get_http('www.bacus.pt', 443, '/protected.html',
		     make_headers(Authorization =>
				  'Basic ' . MIME::Base64::encode("$user:$pass",''))
		     );

	 ($page, $response, %reply_headers)
		= post_http('www.bacus.pt', 443, '/foo.cgi', '',
		       make_form(OK   => '1',
				 name => 'Sampo'
		       ));

	 ($reply, $err) = tcpcat($host, $port, $request);

	 ($page, $result, %headers)
		= get_httpx($usessl, 'www.bacus.pt', 443, '/protected.html',
		     make_headers(Authorization =>
				  'Basic ' . MIME::Base64::encode("$user:$pass",''))
		     );

	 ($page, $response, %reply_headers)
		= post_httpx($usessl, 'www.bacus.pt', 443, '/foo.cgi', '',
		       make_form(OK   => '1',  name => 'Sampo' ));

	 ($reply, $err, $server_cert) = tcpxcat($usessl, $host, $port, $request);

       As can be seen, the "x" family of APIs takes as the first argument a
       flag which indicates whether SSL is used or not.

   Certificate verification and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs)
       OpenSSL supports the ability to verify peer certificates. It can also
       optionally check the peer certificate against a Certificate Revocation
       List (CRL) from the certificates issuer. A CRL is a file, created by
       the certificate issuer that lists all the certificates that it
       previously signed, but which it now revokes. CRLs are in PEM format.

       You can enable "Net::SSLeay CRL" checking like this:

		   &Net::SSLeay::X509_STORE_set_flags
		       (&Net::SSLeay::CTX_get_cert_store($ssl),
			&Net::SSLeay::X509_V_FLAG_CRL_CHECK);

       After setting this flag, if OpenSSL checks a peer's certificate, then
       it will attempt to find a CRL for the issuer. It does this by looking
       for a specially named file in the search directory specified by
       CTX_load_verify_locations.  CRL files are named with the hash of the
       issuer's subject name, followed by ".r0", ".r1" etc.  For example
       "ab1331b2.r0", "ab1331b2.r1". It will read all the .r files for the
       issuer, and then check for a revocation of the peer certificate in all
       of them.	 (You can also force it to look in a specific named CRL file.,
       see below).  You can find out the hash of the issuer subject name in a
       CRL with

	       openssl crl -in crl.pem -hash -noout

       If the peer certificate does not pass the revocation list, or if no CRL
       is found, then the handshaking fails with an error.

       You can also force OpenSSL to look for CRLs in one or more arbitrarily
       named files.

	   my $bio = Net::SSLeay::BIO_new_file($crlfilename, 'r');
	   my $crl = Net::SSLeay::PEM_read_bio_X509_CRL($bio);
	   if ($crl) {
	       Net::SSLeay::X509_STORE_add_crl(
		    Net::SSLeay::CTX_get_cert_store($ssl, $crl)
	       );
	   } else {
	       error reading CRL....
	   }

       Usually the URLs where you can download the CRLs is contained in the
       certificate itself and you can extract them with

	   my @url = Net::SSLeay::P_X509_get_crl_distribution_points($cert)

       But there is no automatic downloading of the CRLs and often these CRLs
       are too huge to just download them to verify a single certificate.
       Also, these CRLs are often in DER format which you need to convert to
       PEM before you can use it:

	   openssl crl -in crl.der -inform der -out crl.pem

       So as an alternative for faster and timely revocation checks you better
       use the Online Status Revocation Protocol (OCSP).

   Certificate verification and Online Status Revocation Protocol (OCSP)
       While checking for revoked certificates is possible and fast with
       Certificate Revocation Lists, you need to download the complete and
       often huge list before you can verify a single certificate.

       A faster way is to ask the CA to check the revocation of just a single
       or a few certificates using OCSP. Basically you generate for each
       certificate an OCSP_CERTID based on the certificate itself and its
       issuer, put the ids togetether into an OCSP_REQUEST and send the
       request to the URL given in the certificate.

       As a result you get back an OCSP_RESPONSE and need to check the status
       of the response, check that it is valid (e.g. signed by the CA) and
       finally extract the information about each OCSP_CERTID to find out if
       the certificate is still valid or got revoked.

       With Net::SSLeay this can be done like this:

	   # get id(s) for given certs, like from get_peer_certificate
	   # or get_peer_cert_chain. This will croak if
	   # - one tries to make an OCSP_CERTID for a self-signed certificate
	   # - the issuer of the certificate cannot be found in the SSL objects
	   #   store, nor in the current certificate chain
	   my $cert = Net::SSLeay::get_peer_certificate($ssl);
	   my $id = eval { Net::SSLeay::OCSP_cert2ids($ssl,$cert) };
	   die "failed to make OCSP_CERTID: $@" if $@;

	   # create OCSP_REQUEST from id(s)
	   # Multiple can be put into the same request, if the same OCSP responder
	   # is responsible for them.
	   my $req = Net::SSLeay::OCSP_ids2req($id);

	   # determine URI of OCSP responder
	   my $uri = Net::SSLeay::P_X509_get_ocsp_uri($cert);

	   # Send stringified OCSP_REQUEST with POST to $uri.
	   # We can ignore certificate verification for https, because the OCSP
	   # response itself is signed.
	   my $ua = HTTP::Tiny->new(verify_SSL => 0);
	   my $res = $ua->request( 'POST',$uri, {
	       headers => { 'Content-type' => 'application/ocsp-request' },
	       content => Net::SSLeay::i2d_OCSP_REQUEST($req)
	   });
	   my $content = $res && $res->{success} && $res->{content}
	       or die "query failed";

	   # Extract OCSP_RESPONSE.
	   # this will croak if the string is not an OCSP_RESPONSE
	   my $resp = eval { Net::SSLeay::d2i_OCSP_RESPONSE($content) };

	   # Check status of response.
	   my $status = Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_status($resp);
	   if ($status != Net::SSLeay::OCSP_RESPONSE_STATUS_SUCCESSFUL())
	       die "OCSP response failed: ".
		   Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_status_str($status);
	   }

	   # Verify signature of response and if nonce matches request.
	   # This will croak if there is a nonce in the response, but it does not match
	   # the request. It will return false if the signature could not be verified,
	   # in which case details can be retrieved with Net::SSLeay::ERR_get_error.
	   # It will not complain if the response does not contain a nonce, which is
	   # usually the case with pre-signed responses.
	   if ( ! eval { Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_verify($ssl,$resp,$req) }) {
	       die "OCSP response verification failed";
	   }

	   # Extract information from OCSP_RESPONSE for each of the ids.

	   # If called in scalar context it will return the time (as time_t), when the
	   # next update is due (minimum of all successful responses inside $resp). It
	   # will croak on the following problems:
	   # - response is expired or not yet valid
	   # - no response for given OCSP_CERTID
	   # - certificate status is not good (e.g. revoked or unknown)
	   if ( my $nextupd = eval { Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_results($resp,$id) }) {
	       warn "certificate is valid, next update in ".
		   ($nextupd-time())." seconds\n";
	   } else {
	       die "certificate is not valid: $@";
	   }

	   # But in array context it will return detailed information about each given
	   # OCSP_CERTID instead croaking on errors:
	   # if no @ids are given it will return information about all single responses
	   # in the OCSP_RESPONSE
	   my @results = Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_results($resp,@ids);
	   for my $r (@results) {
	       print Dumper($r);
	       # @results are in the same order as the @ids and contain:
	       # $r->[0] - OCSP_CERTID
	       # $r->[1] - undef if no error (certificate good) OR error message as string
	       # $r->[2] - hash with details:
	       #   thisUpdate - time_t of this single response
	       #   nextUpdate - time_t when update is expected
	       #   statusType - integer:
	       #      V_OCSP_CERTSTATUS_GOOD(0)
	       #      V_OCSP_CERTSTATUS_REVOKED(1)
	       #      V_OCSP_CERTSTATUS_UNKNOWN(2)
	       #   revocationTime - time_t (only if revoked)
	       #   revocationReason - integer (only if revoked)
	       #   revocationReason_str - reason as string (only if revoked)
	   }

       To further speed up certificate revocation checking one can use a TLS
       extension to instruct the server to staple the OCSP response:

	   # set TLS extension before doing SSL_connect
	   Net::SSLeay::set_tlsext_status_type($ssl,
	       Net::SSLeay::TLSEXT_STATUSTYPE_ocsp());

	   # setup callback to verify OCSP response
	   my $cert_valid = undef;
	   Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_tlsext_status_cb($context,sub {
	       my ($ssl,$resp) = @_;
	       if (!$resp) {
		   # Lots of servers don't return an OCSP response.
		   # In this case we must check the OCSP status outside the SSL
		   # handshake.
		   warn "server did not return stapled OCSP response\n";
		   return 1;
	       }
	       # verify status
	       my $status = Net::SSLeay::OCSP_response_status($resp);
	       if ($status != Net::SSLeay::OCSP_RESPONSE_STATUS_SUCCESSFUL()) {

	       # check if the certificate is valid
	       # we should check here against the peer_certificate

	   } elsif ( $cert_valid<0 ) {
	       die "cannot verify certificate revocation - self-signed ?";
	   } else {
	       # everything fine
	       ...
	   }

   Using Net::SSLeay in multi-threaded applications
       IMPORTANT: versions 1.42 or earlier are not thread-safe!

       Net::SSLeay module implements all necessary stuff to be ready for
       multi-threaded environment - it requires openssl-0.9.7 or newer. The
       implementation fully follows thread safety related requirements of
       openssl library(see <http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/threads.html>).

       If you are about to use Net::SSLeay (or any other module based on
       Net::SSLeay) in multi-threaded perl application it is recommended to
       follow this best-practice:

       Initialization

       Load and initialize Net::SSLeay module in the main thread:

	   use threads;
	   use Net::SSLeay;

	   Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings();
	   Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms();
	   Net::SSLeay::randomize();

	   sub do_master_job {
	     #... call whatever from Net::SSLeay
	   }

	   sub do_worker_job {
	     #... call whatever from Net::SSLeay
	   }

	   #start threads
	   my $master  = threads->new(\&do_master_job, 'param1', 'param2');
	   my @workers = threads->new(\&do_worker_job, 'arg1', 'arg2') for (1..10);

	   #waiting for all threads to finish
	   $_->join() for (threads->list);

       NOTE: Openssl's "int SSL_library_init(void)" function (which is also
       aliased as "SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms", "OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms"
       and "add_ssl_algorithms") is not re-entrant and multiple calls can
       cause a crash in threaded application.  Net::SSLeay implements flags
       preventing repeated calls to this function, therefore even multiple
       initialization via Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms() should work
       without trouble.

       Using callbacks

       Do not use callbacks across threads (the module blocks cross-thread
       callback operations and throws a warning). Always do the callback
       setup, callback use and callback destruction within the same thread.

       Using openssl elements

       All openssl elements (X509, SSL_CTX, ...) can be directly passed
       between threads.

	   use threads;
	   use Net::SSLeay;

	   Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings();
	   Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms();
	   Net::SSLeay::randomize();

	   sub do_job {
	     my $context = shift;
	     Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_default_passwd_cb($context, sub { "secret" });
	     #...
	   }

	   my $c = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new();
	   threads->create(\&do_job, $c);

       Or:

	   use threads;
	   use Net::SSLeay;

	   my $context; #does not need to be 'shared'

	   Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings();
	   Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms();
	   Net::SSLeay::randomize();

	   sub do_job {
	     Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_default_passwd_cb($context, sub { "secret" });
	     #...
	   }

	   $context = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new();
	   threads->create(\&do_job);

       Using other perl modules based on Net::SSLeay

       It should be fine to use any other module based on Net::SSLeay (like
       IO::Socket::SSL) in multi-threaded applications. It is generally
       recommended to do any global initialization of such a module in the
       main thread before calling "threads->new(..)" or "threads->create(..)"
       but it might differ module by module.

       To be safe you can load and init Net::SSLeay explicitly in the main
       thread:

	   use Net::SSLeay;
	   use Other::SSLeay::Based::Module;

	   Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings();
	   Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms();
	   Net::SSLeay::randomize();

       Or even safer:

	   use Net::SSLeay;
	   use Other::SSLeay::Based::Module;

	   BEGIN {
	     Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings();
	     Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms();
	     Net::SSLeay::randomize();
	   }

       Combining Net::SSLeay with other modules linked with openssl

       BEWARE: This might be a big trouble! This is not guaranteed be thread-
       safe!

       There are many other (XS) modules linked directly to openssl library
       (like Crypt::SSLeay).

       As it is expected that also "another" module will call
       "SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms" at some point we have again a trouble with
       multiple openssl initialization by Net::SSLeay and "another" module.

       As you can expect Net::SSLeay is not able to avoid multiple
       initialization of openssl library called by "another" module, thus you
       have to handle this on your own (in some cases it might not be possible
       at all to avoid this).

       Threading with get_https and friends

       The convenience functions get_https, post_https etc all initialize the
       SSL library by calling Net::SSLeay::initialize which does the
       conventional library initialization:

	   Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings();
	   Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms();
	   Net::SSLeay::randomize();

       Net::SSLeay::initialize initializes the SSL library at most once.  You
       can override the Net::SSLeay::initialize function if you desire some
       other type of initialization behaviour by get_https and friends.	 You
       can call Net::SSLeay::initialize from your own code if you desire this
       conventional library initialization.

   Convenience routines
       To be used with Low level API

	   Net::SSLeay::randomize($rn_seed_file,$additional_seed);
	   Net::SSLeay::set_cert_and_key($ctx, $cert_path, $key_path);
	   $cert = Net::SSLeay::dump_peer_certificate($ssl);
	   Net::SSLeay::ssl_write_all($ssl, $message) or die "ssl write failure";
	   $got = Net::SSLeay::ssl_read_all($ssl) or die "ssl read failure";

	   $got = Net::SSLeay::ssl_read_CRLF($ssl [, $max_length]);
	   $got = Net::SSLeay::ssl_read_until($ssl [, $delimit [, $max_length]]);
	   Net::SSLeay::ssl_write_CRLF($ssl, $message);

       ·   randomize

	   seeds the openssl PRNG with "/dev/urandom" (see the top of
	   "SSLeay.pm" for how to change or configure this) and optionally
	   with user provided data. It is very important to properly seed your
	   random numbers, so do not forget to call this. The high level API
	   functions automatically call "randomize()" so it is not needed with
	   them. See also caveats.

       ·   set_cert_and_key

	   takes two file names as arguments and sets the certificate and
	   private key to those. This can be used to set either server
	   certificates or client certificates.

       ·   dump_peer_certificate

	   allows you to get a plaintext description of the certificate the
	   peer (usually the server) presented to us.

       ·   ssl_read_all

	   see ssl_write_all (below)

       ·   ssl_write_all

	   "ssl_read_all()" and "ssl_write_all()" provide true blocking
	   semantics for these operations (see limitation, below, for
	   explanation). These are much preferred to the low level API
	   equivalents (which implement BSD blocking semantics). The message
	   argument to "ssl_write_all()" can be a reference. This is helpful
	   to avoid unnecessary copying when writing something big, e.g:

	       $data = 'A' x 1000000000;
	       Net::SSLeay::ssl_write_all($ssl, \$data) or die "ssl write failed";

       ·   ssl_read_CRLF

	   uses "ssl_read_all()" to read in a line terminated with a carriage
	   return followed by a linefeed (CRLF).  The CRLF is included in the
	   returned scalar.

       ·   ssl_read_until

	   uses "ssl_read_all()" to read from the SSL input stream until it
	   encounters a programmer specified delimiter.	 If the delimiter is
	   undefined, $/ is used.  If $/ is undefined, "\n" is used.  One can
	   optionally set a maximum length of bytes to read from the SSL input
	   stream.

       ·   ssl_write_CRLF

	   writes $message and appends CRLF to the SSL output stream.

   Initialization
       In order to use the low level API you should start your programs with
       the following incantation:

	       use Net::SSLeay qw(die_now die_if_ssl_error);
	       Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings();
	       Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms();    # Important!
	       Net::SSLeay::ENGINE_load_builtin_engines();  # If you want built-in engines
	       Net::SSLeay::ENGINE_register_all_complete(); # If you want built-in engines
	       Net::SSLeay::randomize();

   Error handling functions
       I can not emphasize the need to check for error enough. Use these
       functions even in the most simple programs, they will reduce debugging
       time greatly. Do not ask questions on the mailing list without having
       first sprinkled these in your code.

       ·   die_now

       ·   die_if_ssl_error

	   "die_now()" and "die_if_ssl_error()" are used to conveniently print
	   the SSLeay error stack when something goes wrong:

		   Net::SSLeay::connect($ssl) or die_now("Failed SSL connect ($!)");

		   Net::SSLeay::write($ssl, "foo") or die_if_ssl_error("SSL write ($!)");

       ·   print_errs

	   You can also use "Net::SSLeay::print_errs()" to dump the error
	   stack without exiting the program. As can be seen, your code
	   becomes much more readable if you import the error reporting
	   functions into your main name space.

   Sockets
       Perl uses file handles for all I/O. While SSLeay has a quite flexible
       BIO mechanism and perl has an evolved PerlIO mechanism, this module
       still sticks to using file descriptors. Thus to attach SSLeay to a
       socket you should use "fileno()" to extract the underlying file
       descriptor:

	   Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, fileno(S));   # Must use fileno

       You should also set $| to 1 to eliminate STDIO buffering so you do not
       get confused if you use perl I/O functions to manipulate your socket
       handle.

       If you need to select(2) on the socket, go right ahead, but be warned
       that OpenSSL does some internal buffering so SSL_read does not always
       return data even if the socket selected for reading (just keep on
       selecting and trying to read). "Net::SSLeay" is no different from the C
       language OpenSSL in this respect.

   Callbacks
       You can establish a per-context verify callback function something like
       this:

	       sub verify {
		   my ($ok, $x509_store_ctx) = @_;
		   print "Verifying certificate...\n";
		       ...
		   return $ok;
	       }

       It is used like this:

	       Net::SSLeay::set_verify ($ssl, Net::SSLeay::VERIFY_PEER, \&verify);

       Per-context callbacks for decrypting private keys are implemented.

	       Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_default_passwd_cb($ctx, sub { "top-secret" });
	       Net::SSLeay::CTX_use_PrivateKey_file($ctx, "key.pem",
						    Net::SSLeay::FILETYPE_PEM)
		   or die "Error reading private key";
	       Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_default_passwd_cb($ctx, undef);

       If Hello Extensions are supported by your OpenSSL, a session secret
       callback can be set up to be called when a session secret is set by
       openssl.

       Establish it like this:
	   Net::SSLeay::set_session_secret_cb($ssl, \&session_secret_cb,
       $somedata);

       It will be called like this:

	   sub session_secret_cb
	   {
	       my ($secret, \@cipherlist, \$preferredcipher, $somedata) = @_;
	   }

       No other callbacks are implemented. You do not need to use any callback
       for simple (i.e. normal) cases where the SSLeay built-in verify
       mechanism satisfies your needs.

       It is required to reset these callbacks to undef immediately after use
       to prevent memory leaks, thread safety problems and crashes on exit
       that can occur if different threads set different callbacks.

       If you want to use callback stuff, see examples/callback.pl! It's the
       only one I am able to make work reliably.

   Low level API
       In addition to the high level functions outlined above, this module
       contains straight-forward access to CRYPTO and SSL parts of OpenSSL C
       API.

       See the "*.h" headers from OpenSSL C distribution for a list of low
       level SSLeay functions to call (check SSLeay.xs to see if some function
       has been implemented). The module strips the initial "SSL_" off of the
       SSLeay names.  Generally you should use "Net::SSLeay::" in its place.

       Note that some functions are prefixed with "P_" - these are very close
       to the original API however contain some kind of a wrapper making its
       interface more perl friendly.

       For example:

       In C:

	       #include <ssl.h>

	       err = SSL_set_verify (ssl, SSL_VERIFY_CLIENT_ONCE,
					  &your_call_back_here);

       In Perl:

	       use Net::SSLeay;

	       $err = Net::SSLeay::set_verify ($ssl,
					       Net::SSLeay::VERIFY_CLIENT_ONCE,
					       \&your_call_back_here);

       If the function does not start with "SSL_" you should use the full
       function name, e.g.:

	       $err = Net::SSLeay::ERR_get_error;

       The following new functions behave in perlish way:

	       $got = Net::SSLeay::read($ssl);
					   # Performs SSL_read, but returns $got
					   # resized according to data received.
					   # Returns undef on failure.

	       Net::SSLeay::write($ssl, $foo) || die;
					   # Performs SSL_write, but automatically
					   # figures out the size of $foo

       ·   CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_getkey_cb

	   Setup encryption for TLS session tickets (stateless session reuse).

	    # $ctx  - value corresponding to openssl's SSL_CTX structure
	    # $func - perl reference to callback function
	    # $data - [optional] data that will be passed to callback function when invoked
	    #
	    # returns: no return value

	   The callback function will be called like:
	   getkey($data,[$key_name]) -> ($key,$current_key_name)

	   # $data is the data passed to set_session_secret_cb # $key_name is
	   the name of the key OpenSSL has extracted from the session ticket #
	   $key is the requested key for ticket encryption + HMAC #
	   $current_key_name is the name for the currently valid key

	   OpenSSL will call the function without a key name if it generates a
	   new ticket.	It then needs the callback to return the
	   encryption+HMAC key and an identifier (key name) for this key.

	   When OpenSSL gets a session ticket from the client it extracts the
	   key name and calls the callback with this name as argument. It then
	   expects the callback to return the encryption+HMAC key matching the
	   requested key name and and also the key name which should be used
	   at the moment. If the requested key name and the returned key name
	   differ it means that this session ticket was created with an
	   expired key and need to be renewed. In this case OpenSSL will call
	   the callback again with no key name to create a new session ticket
	   based on the old one.

	   The key must be at least 32 byte of random data which can be
	   created with RAND_bytes. Internally the first 16 byte are used as
	   key in AES-128 encryption while the next 16 byte are used for the
	   SHA-256 HMAC.  The key name are binary data and must be exactly 16
	   byte long.

	   Example:

	       Net::SSLeay::RAND_bytes(my $oldkey,32);
	       Net::SSLeay::RAND_bytes(my $newkey,32);
	       my $oldkey_name = pack("a16",'oldsecret');
	       my $newkey_name = pack("a16",'newsecret');

	       my @keys = (
		   [ $newkey_name, $newkey ], # current active key
		   [ $oldkey_name, $oldkey ], # already expired
	       );

	       Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_getkey_cb($server2->_ctx, sub {
		   my ($mykeys,$name) = @_;

		   # return (current_key, current_key_name) if no name given
		   return ($mykeys->[0][1],$mykeys->[0][0]) if ! $name;

		   # return (matching_key, current_key_name) if we find a key matching
		   # the given name
		   for(my $i = 0; $i<@$mykeys; $i++) {
		       next if $name ne $mykeys->[$i][0];
		       return ($mykeys->[$i][1],$mykeys->[0][0]);
		   }

		   # no matching key found
		   return;
	       },\@keys);

	   This function is based on the OpenSSL function
	   SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_key_cb but provides a simpler to use
	   interface. For more information see
	   <http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_ticket_key_cb.html>

	   COMPATIBILITY: requires at least OpenSSL 0.9.8f

	   This function is used in a server to support Server side Server
	   Name Indication (SNI).

	    Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback($ctx, $code)
	    # $ctx - SSL context
	    # $code - reference to a subroutine that will be called when a new connection is being initiated
	    #
	    # returns: no return value
	   On the client side:
	   use set_tlsext_host_name($ssl, $servername) before initiating the SSL connection.

	   On the server side: Set up an additional SSL_CTX() for each
	   different certificate;

	   Add a servername callback to each SSL_CTX() using
	   CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback();

	   The callback function is required to retrieve the client-supplied
	   servername with get_servername(ssl). Figure out the right SSL_CTX
	   to go with that host name, then switch the SSL object to that
	   SSL_CTX with set_SSL_CTX().

	   Example:

	    # set callback
	    Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback($ctx,
	       sub {
		 my $ssl = shift;
		 my $h = Net::SSLeay::get_servername($ssl);
		 Net::SSLeay::set_SSL_CTX($ssl, $hostnames{$h}->{ctx}) if exists $hostnames{$h};
	       } );

	   More complete example:

	    # ... initialize Net::SSLeay

	    my %hostnames = (
	      'sni1' => { cert=>'sni1.pem', key=>'sni1.key' },
	      'sni2' => { cert=>'sni2.pem', key=>'sni2.key' },
	    );

	    # create a new context for each certificate/key pair
	    for my $name (keys %hostnames) {
	      $hostnames{$name}->{ctx} = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new or die;
	      Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_cipher_list($hostnames{$name}->{ctx}, 'ALL');
	      Net::SSLeay::set_cert_and_key($hostnames{$name}->{ctx},
	      $hostnames{$name}->{cert}, $hostnames{$name}->{key}) or die;
	    }

	    # create default context
	    my $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new or die;
	    Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_cipher_list($ctx, 'ALL');
	    Net::SSLeay::set_cert_and_key($ctx, 'cert.pem','key.pem') or die;

	    # set callback

       Low level API: NPN (next protocol negotiation) related functions

       NPN is being replaced with ALPN, a more recent TLS extension for
       application protocol negotiation that's in process of being adopted by
       IETF. Please look below for APLN API description.

       Simple approach for using NPN support looks like this:

	Net::SSLeay::initialize();
	my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>'encrypted.google.com:443') or die;

	my $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx) or die;
	Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, fileno($sock)) or die;
	Net::SSLeay::connect($ssl);

	warn "client:negotiated=",Net::SSLeay::P_next_proto_negotiated($ssl), "\n";
	warn "client:last_status=", Net::SSLeay::P_next_proto_last_status($ssl), "\n";

	### server side
	use Net::SSLeay;
	use IO::Socket::INET;

	Net::SSLeay::initialize();
	my $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_tlsv1_new() or die;
	Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options($ctx, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL);
	Net::SSLeay::set_cert_and_key($ctx, "t/data/cert.pem", "t/data/key.pem");
	Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_next_protos_advertised_cb($ctx, ['spdy/2','http1.1']);
	my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalAddr=>'localhost', LocalPort=>5443, Proto=>'tcp', Listen=>20) or die;

	while (1) {
	  my $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx);
	  warn("server:waiting for incoming connection...\n");
	  my $fd = $sock->accept();
	  Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, $fd->fileno);
	  Net::SSLeay::accept($ssl);
	  warn "server:negotiated=",Net::SSLeay::P_next_proto_negotiated($ssl),"\n";
	  my $got = Net::SSLeay::read($ssl);
	  Net::SSLeay::ssl_write_all($ssl, "length=".length($got));
	  Net::SSLeay::free($ssl);
	  $fd->close();
	}
	# check with: openssl s_client -connect localhost:5443 -nextprotoneg http/1.1,spdy/2

       Please note that the selection (negotiation) is performed by client
       side, the server side simply advertise the list of supported protocols.

       Advanced approach allows you to implement your own negotiation
       algorithm.

       Low level API: ALPN (application layer protocol negotiation) related
       functions

       Application protocol can be negotiated via two different mechanisms
       employing two different TLS extensions: NPN (obsolete) and ALPN
       (recommended).

       The API is rather similar, with slight differences reflecting protocol
       specifics. In particular, with ALPN the protocol negotiation takes
       place on server, while with NPN the client implements the protocol
       negotiation logic.

       With ALPN, the most basic implementation looks like this:

	### client side
	use Net::SSLeay;
	use IO::Socket::INET;

	Net::SSLeay::initialize();
	my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>'encrypted.google.com:443') or die;

	my $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx) or die;
	Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, fileno($sock)) or die;
	Net::SSLeay::connect($ssl);

	warn "client:selected=",Net::SSLeay::P_alpn_selected($ssl), "\n";

	### server side
	use Net::SSLeay;
	use IO::Socket::INET;

	Net::SSLeay::initialize();
	my $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_tlsv1_new() or die;

	Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_alpn_select_cb($ctx, ['http/1.1', 'http/2.0', 'spdy/3]);
	my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(LocalAddr=>'localhost', LocalPort=>5443, Proto=>'tcp', Listen=>20) or die;

	while (1) {
	  my $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx);
	  warn("server:waiting for incoming connection...\n");
	  my $fd = $sock->accept();
	  Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, $fd->fileno);
	  Net::SSLeay::accept($ssl);
	  warn "server:selected=",Net::SSLeay::P_alpn_selected($ssl),"\n";

	  Net::SSLeay::ssl_write_all($ssl, "length=".length($got));
	  Net::SSLeay::free($ssl);

	   Frees the DH structure and its components. The values are erased
	   before the memory is returned to the system.

	    Net::SSLeay::DH_free($dh);
	    # $dh - value corresponding to openssl's DH structure
	    #
	    # returns: no return value

	   Check openssl doc <http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/DH_new.html>

       ·   FIPS_mode_set

	   Enable or disable FIPS mode in a FIPS capable OpenSSL.

	    Net::SSLeay:: FIPS_mode_set($enable);
	    # $enable - (integer) 1 to enable, 0 to disable

	   TBA

       ·   EC_KEY_generate_key

	   Generates a EC key and returns it in a newly allocated EC_KEY
	   structure.  The EC key then can be used to create a PKEY which can
	   be used in calls like X509_set_pubkey.

	    my $key = Net::SSLeay::EVP_PKEY_new();
	    my $ec  = Net::SSLeay::EC_KEY_generate_key($curve);
	    Net::SSLeay::EVP_PKEY_assign_EC_KEY($key,$ec);

	    # $curve - curve name like 'secp521r1' or the matching Id (integer) of the curve
	    #
	    # returns: value corresponding to openssl's EC_KEY structure (0 on failure)

	   This function has no equivalent in OpenSSL but combines multiple
	   OpenSSL functions for an easier interface.

   Constants
       There are many openssl constants available in Net::SSLeay. You can use
       them like this:

	use Net::SSLeay;
	print &Net::SSLeay::NID_commonName;
	#or
	print Net::SSLeay::NID_commonName();

       Or you can import them and use:

	use Net::SSLeay qw/NID_commonName/;
	print &NID_commonName;
	#or
	print NID_commonName();
	#or
	print NID_commonName;

       The constants names are derived from openssl constants, however
       constants starting with "SSL_" prefix have name with "SSL_" part
       stripped - e.g. openssl's constant "SSL_OP_ALL" is available as
       "Net::SSleay::OP_ALL"

EXAMPLES
       One very good example to look at is the implementation of "sslcat()" in
       the "SSLeay.pm" file.

       The following is a simple SSLeay client (with too little error checking
       :-(

	   #!/usr/bin/perl
	   use Socket;
	   use Net::SSLeay qw(die_now die_if_ssl_error) ;
	   Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings();
	   Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms();
	   Net::SSLeay::randomize();

	   ($dest_serv, $port, $msg) = @ARGV;	   # Read command line
	   $port = getservbyname ($port, 'tcp') unless $port =~ /^\d+$/;
	   $dest_ip = gethostbyname ($dest_serv);
	   $dest_serv_params  = sockaddr_in($port, $dest_ip);

	   socket  (S, &AF_INET, &SOCK_STREAM, 0)  or die "socket: $!";
	   connect (S, $dest_serv_params)	   or die "connect: $!";
	   select  (S); $| = 1; select (STDOUT);   # Eliminate STDIO buffering

	   # The network connection is now open, lets fire up SSL

	   $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new() or die_now("Failed to create SSL_CTX $!");
	   Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options($ctx, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL)
		or die_if_ssl_error("ssl ctx set options");
	   $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx) or die_now("Failed to create SSL $!");
	   Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, fileno(S));   # Must use fileno
	   $res = Net::SSLeay::connect($ssl) and die_if_ssl_error("ssl connect");
	   print "Cipher `" . Net::SSLeay::get_cipher($ssl) . "'\n";

	   # Exchange data

	   $res = Net::SSLeay::write($ssl, $msg);  # Perl knows how long $msg is
	   die_if_ssl_error("ssl write");
	   CORE::shutdown S, 1;	 # Half close --> No more output, sends EOF to server
	   $got = Net::SSLeay::read($ssl);	   # Perl returns undef on failure
	   die_if_ssl_error("ssl read");
	   print $got;

	   Net::SSLeay::free ($ssl);		   # Tear down connection
	   Net::SSLeay::CTX_free ($ctx);
	   close S;

       The following is a simple SSLeay echo server (non forking):

	   #!/usr/bin/perl -w
	   use Socket;
	   use Net::SSLeay qw(die_now die_if_ssl_error);
	   Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings();
	   Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms();
	   Net::SSLeay::randomize();

	   $our_ip = "\0\0\0\0"; # Bind to all interfaces
	   $port = 1235;
	   $sockaddr_template = 'S n a4 x8';
	   $our_serv_params = pack ($sockaddr_template, &AF_INET, $port, $our_ip);

	   socket (S, &AF_INET, &SOCK_STREAM, 0)  or die "socket: $!";
	   bind (S, $our_serv_params)		  or die "bind:	  $!";
	   listen (S, 5)			  or die "listen: $!";
	   $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new ()	  or die_now("CTX_new ($ctx): $!");
	   Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options($ctx, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL)
		or die_if_ssl_error("ssl ctx set options");

	   # Following will ask password unless private key is not encrypted
	   Net::SSLeay::CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_file ($ctx, 'plain-rsa.pem',
						    &Net::SSLeay::FILETYPE_PEM);
	   die_if_ssl_error("private key");
	   Net::SSLeay::CTX_use_certificate_file ($ctx, 'plain-cert.pem',
						  &Net::SSLeay::FILETYPE_PEM);
	   die_if_ssl_error("certificate");

	   while (1) {
	       print "Accepting connections...\n";
	       ($addr = accept (NS, S))		  or die "accept: $!";
	       select (NS); $| = 1; select (STDOUT);  # Piping hot!

	       ($af,$client_port,$client_ip) = unpack($sockaddr_template,$addr);
	       @inetaddr = unpack('C4',$client_ip);
	       print "$af connection from " .
	       join ('.', @inetaddr) . ":$client_port\n";

	       # We now have a network connection, lets fire up SSLeay...

	       $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx)	  or die_now("SSL_new ($ssl): $!");
	       Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, fileno(NS));

	       $err = Net::SSLeay::accept($ssl) and die_if_ssl_error('ssl accept');
	       print "Cipher `" . Net::SSLeay::get_cipher($ssl) . "'\n";

	       # Connected. Exchange some data.

	       $got = Net::SSLeay::read($ssl);	   # Returns undef on fail
	       die_if_ssl_error("ssl read");
	       print "Got `$got' (" . length ($got) . " chars)\n";

	       Net::SSLeay::write ($ssl, uc ($got)) or die "write: $!";
	       die_if_ssl_error("ssl write");

	       Net::SSLeay::free ($ssl);	   # Tear down connection
	       close NS;
	   }

       Yet another echo server. This one runs from "/etc/inetd.conf" so it
       avoids all the socket code overhead. Only caveat is opening an rsa key
       file - it had better be without any encryption or else it will not know
       where to ask for the password. Note how "STDIN" and "STDOUT" are wired
       to SSL.

	   #!/usr/bin/perl
	   # /etc/inetd.conf
	   #	ssltst stream tcp nowait root /path/to/server.pl server.pl
	   # /etc/services
	   #	ssltst	       1234/tcp

	   use Net::SSLeay qw(die_now die_if_ssl_error);
	   Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings();
	   Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms();

INSTALLATION
       See README and README.* in the distribution directory for installation
       guidance on a variety of platforms.

LIMITATIONS
       "Net::SSLeay::read()" uses an internal buffer of 32KB, thus no single
       read will return more. In practice one read returns much less, usually
       as much as fits in one network packet. To work around this, you should
       use a loop like this:

	   $reply = '';
	   while ($got = Net::SSLeay::read($ssl)) {
	       last if print_errs('SSL_read');
	       $reply .= $got;
	   }

       Although there is no built-in limit in "Net::SSLeay::write()", the
       network packet size limitation applies here as well, thus use:

	   $written = 0;

	   while ($written < length($message)) {
	       $written += Net::SSLeay::write($ssl, substr($message, $written));
	       last if print_errs('SSL_write');
	   }

       Or alternatively you can just use the following convenience functions:

	   Net::SSLeay::ssl_write_all($ssl, $message) or die "ssl write failure";
	   $got = Net::SSLeay::ssl_read_all($ssl) or die "ssl read failure";

KNOWN BUGS AND CAVEATS
       An OpenSSL bug CVE-2015-0290 "OpenSSL Multiblock Corrupted Pointer
       Issue" can cause POST requests of over 90kB to fail or crash. This bug
       is reported to be fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2a.

       Autoloader emits a

	   Argument "xxx" isn't numeric in entersub at blib/lib/Net/SSLeay.pm'

       warning if die_if_ssl_error is made autoloadable. If you figure out
       why, drop me a line.

       Callback set using "SSL_set_verify()" does not appear to work. This may
       well be an openssl problem (e.g. see "ssl/ssl_lib.c" line 1029). Try
       using "SSL_CTX_set_verify()" instead and do not be surprised if even
       this stops working in future versions.

       Callback and certificate verification stuff is generally too little
       tested.

       Random numbers are not initialized randomly enough, especially if you
       do not have "/dev/random" and/or "/dev/urandom" (such as in Solaris
       platforms - but it's been suggested that cryptorand daemon from the
       SUNski package solves this). In this case you should investigate third
       party software that can emulate these devices, e.g. by way of a named
       pipe to some program.

       Another gotcha with random number initialization is randomness
       depletion. This phenomenon, which has been extensively discussed in
       OpenSSL, Apache-SSL, and Apache-mod_ssl forums, can cause your script
       to block if you use "/dev/random" or to operate insecurely if you use
       "/dev/urandom". What happens is that when too much randomness is drawn
       from the operating system's randomness pool then randomness can
       temporarily be unavailable. "/dev/random" solves this problem by
       waiting until enough randomness can be gathered - and this can take a
       long time since blocking reduces activity in the machine and less
       activity provides less random events: a vicious circle.	"/dev/urandom"
       solves this dilemma more pragmatically by simply returning predictable
       "random" numbers. Some" /dev/urandom" emulation software however
       actually seems to implement "/dev/random" semantics. Caveat emptor.

       I've been pointed to two such daemons by Mik Firestone
       <mik@@speed.stdio._com> who has used them on Solaris 8:

       1.  Entropy Gathering Daemon (EGD) at
	   <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>

       2.  Pseudo-random number generating daemon (PRNGD) at
	   <http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html>

       If you are using the low level API functions to communicate with other
       SSL implementations, you would do well to call

	   Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options($ctx, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL)
		or die_if_ssl_error("ssl ctx set options");

       to cope with some well know bugs in some other SSL implementations. The
       high level API functions always set all known compatibility options.

       Sometimes "sslcat()" (and the high level HTTPS functions that build on
       it) is too fast in signaling the EOF to legacy HTTPS servers. This
       causes the server to return empty page. To work around this problem you
       can set the global variable

	   $Net::SSLeay::slowly = 1;   # Add sleep so broken servers can keep up

       HTTP/1.1 is not supported. Specifically this module does not know to
       issue or serve multiple http requests per connection. This is a serious
       shortcoming, but using the SSL session cache on your server helps to
       alleviate the CPU load somewhat.

       As of version 1.09 many newer OpenSSL auxiliary functions were added
       (from "REM_AUTOMATICALLY_GENERATED_1_09" onwards in "SSLeay.xs").
       Unfortunately I have not had any opportunity to test these. Some of
       them are trivial enough that I believe they "just work", but others
       have rather complex interfaces with function pointers and all. In these
       cases you should proceed wit great caution.

       This module defaults to using OpenSSL automatic protocol negotiation
       code for automatically detecting the version of the SSL protocol that
       the other end talks. With most web servers this works just fine, but
       once in a while I get complaints from people that the module does not
       work with some web servers. Usually this can be solved by explicitly
       setting the protocol version, e.g.

	  $Net::SSLeay::ssl_version = 2;  # Insist on SSLv2
	  $Net::SSLeay::ssl_version = 3;  # Insist on SSLv3
	  $Net::SSLeay::ssl_version = 10; # Insist on TLSv1

       Although the autonegotiation is nice to have, the SSL standards do not
       formally specify any such mechanism. Most of the world has accepted the
       SSLeay/OpenSSL way of doing it as the de facto standard. But for the
       few that think differently, you have to explicitly speak the correct
       version. This is not really a bug, but rather a deficiency in the
       standards. If a site refuses to respond or sends back some nonsensical
       error codes (at the SSL handshake level), try this option before
       mailing me.

       On some systems, OpenSSL may be compiled without support for SSLv2.  If
       this is the case, Net::SSLeay will warn if ssl_version has been set to
       2.

       The high level API returns the certificate of the peer, thus allowing
       one to check what certificate was supplied. However, you will only be
       able to check the certificate after the fact, i.e. you already sent
       your form data by the time you find out that you did not trust them,
       oops.

       So, while being able to know the certificate after the fact is surely
       useful, the security minded would still choose to do the connection and
       certificate verification first and only then exchange data with the
       site. Currently none of the high level API functions do this, thus you
       would have to program it using the low level API. A good place to start
       is to see how the "Net::SSLeay::http_cat()" function is implemented.

       The high level API functions use a global file handle "SSLCAT_S"
       internally. This really should not be a problem because there is no way
       to interleave the high level API functions, unless you use threads (but
       threads are not very well supported in perl anyway (as of version
       5.6.1). However, you may run into problems if you call undocumented
       internal functions in an interleaved fashion. The best solution is to
       "require Net::SSLeay" in one thread after all the threads have been
       created.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Random number generator not seeded!!!
	   (W) This warning indicates that "randomize()" was not able to read
	   "/dev/random" or "/dev/urandom", possibly because your system does
	   not have them or they are differently named. You can still use SSL,
	   but the encryption will not be as strong.

       open_tcp_connection: destination host not found:`server' (port 123)
       ($!)
	   Name lookup for host named "server" failed.

       open_tcp_connection: failed `server', 123 ($!)
	   The name was resolved, but establishing the TCP connection failed.

       msg 123: 1 - error:140770F8:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown
       proto
	   SSLeay error string. The first number (123) is the PID, the second
	   number (1) indicates the position of the error message in SSLeay
	   error stack.	 You often see a pile of these messages as errors
	   cascade.

       msg 123: 1 - error:02001002::lib(2) :func(1) :reason(2)
	   The same as above, but you didn't call load_error_strings() so
	   SSLeay couldn't verbosely explain the error. You can still find out
	   what it means with this command:

	       /usr/local/ssl/bin/ssleay errstr 02001002

       Password is being asked for private key
	   This is normal behaviour if your private key is encrypted. Either
	   you have to supply the password or you have to use an unencrypted
	   private key. Scan OpenSSL.org for the FAQ that explains how to do
	   this (or just study examples/makecert.pl which is used during "make
	   test" to do just that).

SECURITY
       You can mitigate some of the security vulnerabilities that might be
       present in your SSL/TLS application:

   BEAST Attack
       http://blogs.cisco.com/security/beat-the-beast-with-tls/
       https://community.qualys.com/blogs/securitylabs/2011/10/17/mitigating-the-beast-attack-on-tls
       http://blog.zoller.lu/2011/09/beast-summary-tls-cbc-countermeasures.html

       The BEAST attack relies on a weakness in the way CBC mode is used in
       SSL/TLS.	 In OpenSSL versions 0.9.6d and later, the protocol-level
       mitigation is enabled by default, thus making it not vulnerable to the
       BEAST attack.

       Solutions:

       ·   Compile with OpenSSL versions 0.9.6d or later, which enables
	   SSL_OP_ALL by default

       ·   Ensure SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS is not enabled (its not
	   enabled by default)

       ·   Don't support SSLv2, SSLv3

       ·   Actively control the ciphers your server supports with
	   set_cipher_list:

       Net::SSLeay::set_cipher_list($ssl, 'RC4-SHA:HIGH:!ADH');

   Session Resumption
       http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_options.html

       The SSL Labs vulnerability test on your SSL server might report in red:

       Session resumption      No (IDs assigned but not accepted)

       This report is not really bug or a vulnerability, since the server will
       not accept session resumption requests.	However, you can prevent this
       noise in the report by disabling the session cache altogether:
       Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_session_cache_mode($ssl_ctx, 0);

   Secure Renegotiation and DoS Attack
       https://community.qualys.com/blogs/securitylabs/2011/10/31/tls-renegotiation-and-denial-of-service-attacks

       This is not a "security flaw," it is more of a DoS vulnerability.

       Solutions:

       ·   Do not support SSLv2

       ·   Do not set the SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION option

       ·   Compile with OpenSSL 0.9.8m or later
