Socket.SSL (socket2 v2.1.2)

Copy Markdown

This module allows usage of SSL sockets and promotion of TCP sockets to SSL sockets.

Options

When creating a socket you can pass a series of options to use for it.

  • :cert can either be an encoded certificate or [path: "path/to/certificate"]
  • :key can either be an encoded certificate, [path: "path/to/key"], [rsa: "rsa encoded"] or [dsa: "dsa encoded"] or [ec: "ec encoded"]
  • :authorities can iehter be an encoded authorities or [path: "path/to/authorities"]
  • :dh can either be an encoded dh or [path: "path/to/dh"]
  • :verify can either be false to disable peer certificate verification, or a keyword list containing a :function and an optional :data
  • :cacerts can be a custom list of certificates to accept during certificate verification
  • :password the password to use to decrypt certificates
  • :renegotiation if it's set to :secure renegotiation will be secured
  • :ciphers is a list of ciphers to allow
  • :advertised_protocols is a list of strings representing the advertised protocols for NPN
  • :preferred_protocols is a list of strings representing the preferred next protocols for NPN

You can also pass TCP options.

Smart garbage collection

Normally sockets in Erlang are closed when the controlling process exits, with smart garbage collection the controlling process will be the Socket.Manager and it will be closed when there are no more references to it.
