Detailed Description

Base class for a TLS session.

This class is used in two contexts:

  • A TLS client creates a TLSConnection instance and connects to a server.
  • A TLS server creates a TLSServer instance and waits for clients. For each client session, a TLSConnection instance is created.

Possible public servers to test various invalid certificates:

Member Function Documentation

◆ setArgs()

void ts::TLSConnection::setArgs ( const TLSArgs args)

Set command line arguments for the client.

Parameters
[in]argsTLS arguments.

◆ setVerifyPeer()

void ts::TLSConnection::setVerifyPeer ( bool  on)
inline

Check if the peer's certificate shall be verified.

Parameters
[in]onIf true, the peer's certificate will be verified.

◆ setServerName()

void ts::TLSConnection::setServerName ( const UString server_name)

For a client connection, specify the server name to be used in SNI (Server Name Indication).

Parameters
[in]server_nameMain server name, as specified in SNI (Server Name Indication). Also used to verify the server's certificate when setVerifyPeer() is true.

◆ addVerifyServer()

void ts::TLSConnection::addVerifyServer ( const UString name)

For a client connection, add another accepted host name for the server's certificate verification during connect().

The list is reset by setVerifyServer().

Parameters
[in]nameAdditional accepted host name used to verify the server's certificate.
See also
setVerifyServer()

◆ connect()

virtual bool ts::TLSConnection::connect ( const IPSocketAddress addr,
IOSB iosb = nullptr 
)
overridevirtual

Connect to a remote address and port.

Use this method when acting as TCP client. Do not use on server side: the TCPConnection object is passed to TCPServer::accept() which establishes the connection.

Parameters
[in]addrIP address and port of the server to connect to.
[in,out]iosbAddress of an IOSB structure. If non-null, the socket must be in non-blocking mode. When null, the socket must be in blocking mode (the default). See the description of IOSB. Important: The parameter iosb should not be used by applications. It should be used only by "reactive classes", which work in combination with a Reactor.
Returns
True on success, false on error. In case of non-blocking mode, if the connection is successfully started but still pending, iosb->pending is set to true and the method returns true.

Reimplemented from ts::TCPConnection.

◆ closeWriter()

virtual bool ts::TLSConnection::closeWriter ( bool  silent = false)
overridevirtual

Close the write direction of the connection.

The application shall call this routine after sending the last message but may still want to receive messages, waiting for the peer to voluntary disconnect.

Parameters
[in]silentIf true, do not report errors through the logger. This is typically useful when the socket is in some error condition and closing it is necessary although it may generate additional meaningless errors.
Returns
True on success, false on error.

Reimplemented from ts::TCPConnection.

◆ disconnect()

virtual bool ts::TLSConnection::disconnect ( bool  silent = false)
overridevirtual

Disconnect from remote partner.

Parameters
[in]silentIf true, do not report errors through the logger. This is typically useful when the socket is in some error condition and closing it is necessary although it may generate additional meaningless errors.
Returns
True on success, false on error.

Reimplemented from ts::TCPConnection.

◆ send()

virtual bool ts::TLSConnection::send ( const void *  data,
size_t  size,
IOSB iosb = nullptr 
)
overridevirtual

Send data.

Parameters
[in]dataAddress of the data to send.
[in]sizeSize in bytes of the data to send.
[in,out]iosbAddress of an IOSB structure. If non-null, the socket must be in non-blocking mode. When null, the socket must be in blocking mode (the default). See the description of IOSB. Important: The parameter iosb should not be used by applications. It should be used only by "reactive classes", which work in combination with a Reactor.
Returns
True on success, false on error. In case of non-blocking mode, if the I/O is successfully started but still pending, iosb->pending is set to true and the method returns true.

Reimplemented from ts::TCPConnection.

◆ receive() [1/2]

virtual bool ts::TLSConnection::receive ( void *  buffer,
size_t  max_size,
size_t &  ret_size,
const AbortInterface abort = nullptr,
IOSB iosb = nullptr 
)
overridevirtual

Receive data.

This version of receiveMessage() returns when "some" data are received into the user buffer. The actual received data may be shorter than the user buffer size.

The version is typically useful when the application cannot predict how much data will be received and must respond even if the user buffer is not full.

Parameters
[out]bufferAddress of the buffer for the received data.
[in]max_sizeSize in bytes of the reception buffer.
[out]ret_sizeSize in bytes of the received data. Will never be larger than max_size.
[in]abortIf non-zero, invoked when I/O is interrupted (in case of user-interrupt, return, otherwise retry).
[in,out]iosbAddress of an IOSB structure. If non-null, the socket must be in non-blocking mode. When null, the socket must be in blocking mode (the default). See the description of IOSB. Important: The parameter iosb should not be used by applications. It should be used only by "reactive classes", which work in combination with a Reactor.
Returns
True on success, false on error. In case of non-blocking mode, if the I/O is successfully started but still pending, iosb->pending is set to true and the method returns true.

Reimplemented from ts::TCPConnection.

◆ receive() [2/2]

virtual bool ts::TLSConnection::receive ( void *  buffer,
size_t  size,
const AbortInterface abort = nullptr 
)
overridevirtual

Receive data until buffer is full.

This version of receive() returns only when sufficient data are received to completely fill the user buffer. The size of the actual received data is identical to the user buffer size. If some data, but not all, were received before the connection was closed, these data are ignored and the method returns false. The version is typically useful when the application knows that a certain amount of data is expected and must wait for them.

This method is only allowed when the socket is in blocking-mode (the default) because this method is blocking by definition. Therefore, there is no iosb parameter.

This base implementation uses the variable-length version of receive(). Therefore, a subclass may only override the variable-length version and not this one.

Parameters
[out]bufferAddress of the buffer for the received data.
[in]sizeSize in bytes of the buffer.
[in]abortIf non-zero, invoked when I/O is interrupted (in case of user-interrupt, return, otherwise retry).
Returns
True on success, false on error.

Reimplemented from ts::TCPConnection.

inherited

Set the "reuse port" option.

Parameters
[in]reuse_portIf true, the socket is allowed to reuse a local UDP port which is already bound.
Returns
True on success, false on error.

◆ bind()

bool ts::Socket::bind ( const IPSocketAddress addr)
inherited

Bind to a local address and port.

The IP address part of the socket address must one of:

  • IPAddress::AnyAddress4.
    • UDP: Any local interface may be used to send or receive UDP datagrams. For each outgoing packet, the actual interface is selected by the kernel based on the routing rules. Incoming UDP packets for the selected port will be accepted from any local interface.
    • TCP client: Any local interface may be used to connect to a server.
    • TCP server: Any local interface may be used to receive incoming client connections.
  • The IP address of an interface of the local system.
    • UDP: Outgoing packets will be unconditionally sent through this interface. Incoming UDP packets for the selected port will be accepted only when they arrive through the selected interface.
    • TCP client: Outgoing connections will be only allowed through this interface.
    • TCP server: Incoming client connections will be accepted only when they arrive through the selected interface.

Special note for receiving multicast on most Unix systems (at least Linux and macOS): The IP address shall be either AnyAddress4 or the multicast group address. Do not specify a local address to receive multicast on Unix.

The port number part of the socket address must be one of:

  • IPSocketAddress::AnyPort. The socket is bound to an arbitrary unused local UDP or TCP port. This is the usual configuration for a TCP client.
  • A specific port number. If this UDP or TCP port is already bound by another local socket of the same type, the bind operation fails, unless the "reuse port" option has already been set.
Parameters
[in]addrLocal socket address to bind to.
Returns
True on success, false on error.

Parameters
[in]funcFunction to call as lambda expression.

◆ allowSetNonBlocking()

virtual bool ts::Socket::allowSetNonBlocking ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtualinherited

Reimplemented from ts::NonBlockingDevice.

◆ setNonBlocking()

bool ts::NonBlockingDevice::setNonBlocking ( bool  non_blocking)

Returns
True on success, false if the device is already open and the non-blocking mode is unchanged.

◆ isNonBlocking()

bool ts::NonBlockingDevice::isNonBlocking ( ) const
inlineinherited

const UChar opname 
)
protectedinherited

Check the blocking mode of a device.

Called by subclass methods which are explicitly called in blocking or non-blocking mode.

[in]non_blockingThe required non-blocking mode.
[in]opnameName of the operation, for the error message.
Returns
True on success, false on error.

◆ checkNonBlocking() [2/2]

bool ts::NonBlockingDevice::checkNonBlocking ( IOSB iosb,
const UChar opname 
)
protectedinherited

Check the blocking mode of a device.

Called by subclass methods which are explicitly called in blocking or non-blocking mode.

Parameters
[in,out]iosbAddress of an IOSB structure. If non-null, we are in non-blocking mode. When null, we are in blocking mode. When non-null, pending is reset to false and overlap is zeroed.
[in]opnameName of the operation, for the error message.
Returns
True on success, false on error.

◆ setSystemNonBlocking()

bool ts::NonBlockingDevice::setSystemNonBlocking ( SysSocketType  fd,
bool  non_blocking 
)
protectedinherited

Low-level method to set a system file or socket descriptor in non-blocking mode.

Parameters
[in]fdSystem file or socket descriptor.
[in]non_blockingIt true, the device is set in non-blocking mode.
Returns
True on success, false on error.

Summary: Do not use this method unless you exactly know what you are doing.

UNIX: Depending on the way a file descriptor is created, it may be possible to specify the non-blocking mode from the beginning. Or it can be somehow inherited. However, this is not portable.

Examples:

  • On Linux and FreeBSD, a socket can be directly created in non-blocking mode using the flag SOCK_NONBLOCK in the 'type' parameter of the socket() system call. However, it does not work on macOS.
  • On macOS (and maybe FreeBSD), when a server socket is in non-blocking mode, all client session sockets which are created by accept() are also in non-blocking mode. However, on Linux, they are in blocking mode.

In all cases, it is possible to set a file descriptor in non-blocking mode at any time using the method setSystemNonBlocking(). This method uses fcntl(F_SETFL) to alter the file descriptor's flags.

Windows: The natural way of not being blocked on I/O on Windows is asynchronous I/O. To increase the general confusion, there is some form of non-blocking mode on Windows sockets, and only sockets, not other forms of file handles. This mode is activated using "ioctlsocket(fd, FIONBIO, &mode)". When this mode is active, socket I/O become similar to UNIX: they immediately either succeed or fail, but never block. However, there is no way to get notified when the I/O becomes possible. There is no equivalent to epoll (Linux) or kqueue (macOS and BSD). The Windows I/O Completion Ports can only work on asynchronous I/O, using OVERLAPPED structures. Because this form of non-blocking mode is mostly useless in practice, we do not use it and the method setSystemNonBlocking() does nothing on Windows.

Some subclass methods have a "silent" parameter to avoid reporting errors which may be insignificant, typically when closing a device after an error, in which case the close operation may produce other errors if the previous error left the device in an inconsistent state. While those errors should not be displayed as errors, we still display them at debug level.

Parameters
[in]silentIf true, do not report errors, report debug messages instead.
Returns
Error when silent is false, Debug otherwise.

◆ owner() [1/2]

Object * ts::OwnedObject::owner ( )
inlineinherited

Get the address of the optional "owner" object which was specified in the constructor.

Returns
Address of the "owner" object or a null pointer if there was none.

◆ owner() [2/2]

template<class OBJECT >
requires std::derived_from<OBJECT, ts::Object>
OBJECT * ts::OwnedObject::owner ( )
inherited

Get the address of the "owner" object which was specified in the constructor.

This template version requires that the owner objet is set and of type OBJECT, or some subclass of it. If there is no owner object or if it is not compatible with the template class OBJECT, this is a fatal error and the application is terminated.

Template Parameters
OBJECTA subclass of Object
Returns
Address of the "owner" object or a null pointer if there was none.

◆ isOwned() [1/2]

bool ts::OwnedObject::isOwned ( )
inlineinherited

Check if the object is owned.

Returns
True if this object has an owner, false otherwise.

◆ isOwned() [2/2]

template<class OBJECT >
requires std::derived_from<OBJECT, ts::Object>
bool ts::OwnedObject::isOwned ( )
inlineinherited

Check if the object is owned by an object of a given type.

Template Parameters
OBJECTA subclass of Object
Returns
True if this object has an owner by an object of type OBJECT, false otherwise.
