NAME

Net::Server::Proto::SSLEAY − Custom Net::Server SSL protocol handler based on Net::SSLeay directly.

SYNOPSIS

See Net::Server::Proto.

DESCRIPTION

This module is relatively new and has only served a couple of months in production environments. If anybody has any successes or ideas for improvment under SSLEAY , please email <paul@seamons.com>.

Protocol module for Net::Server. This module implements a secure socket layer over tcp (also known as SSL ). See Net::Server::Proto.

PARAMETERS

Currently there is support for the following:
"SSL_cert_file"

Full path to the certificate file to be used for this server. Should be in PEM format.

"SSL_key_file"

Full path to the key file to be used for this server. Should be in PEM format.

"SSL_max_getline_length"

Used during getline to only read until this many bytes are found. Default is undef which means unlimited.

"SSL_error_callback"

Should be a code ref that will be called whenever error conditions are encountered. It passes a source message and an arrayref of the errors.

I’ll add support for more as patches come in.

METHODS

This module implements most of the common file handle operations. There are some additions though:
"read_until"

Takes bytes and match qr. If bytes is defined − it will read until that many bytes are found. If match qr is defined, it will read until the buffer matches that qr. If both are undefined, it will read until there is nothing left to read.

BUGS

There are probably many.

LICENCE

Distributed under the same terms as Net::Server

THANKS

Thanks to Bilbo at http://devpit.org/wiki/OpenSSL_with_nonblocking_sockets_%28in_Perl%29 for documenting a more reliable way of accepting and reading SSL connections.

Opportunity

Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
