DESCRIPTION
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback
()
or
SSL_set_msg_callback
()
can be used to define a message callback function cb
for observing all SSL/TLS protocol messages (such as handshake messages)
that are received or sent.
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg
() and
SSL_set_msg_callback_arg
() can be used to set
argument arg to the callback function, which is
available for arbitrary application use.
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback
()
and SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg
() specify default
settings that will be copied to new SSL objects by
SSL_new(3). SSL_set_msg_callback
() and
SSL_set_msg_callback_arg
() modify the actual
settings of an SSL object. Using a
NULL
pointer for cb disables
the message callback.
When cb is called by the SSL/TLS library for a protocol message, the function arguments have the following meaning:
- write_p
- This flag is 0 when a protocol message has been received and 1 when a protocol message has been sent.
- version
- The protocol version according to which the protocol message is
interpreted by the library. Currently, this is one of
SSL2_VERSION
,SSL3_VERSION
andTLS1_VERSION
(for SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0, respectively). - content_type
- In the case of SSL 2.0, this is always 0. In the case of SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0, this is one of the ContentType values defined in the protocol specification (“change_cipher_spec(20)”, “alert(21)”, “handshake(22)”; but never “application_data(23)” because the callback will only be called for protocol messages.)
- buf, len
- buf points to a buffer containing the protocol message, which consists of len bytes. The buffer is no longer valid after the callback function has returned.
- ssl
- The SSL object that received or sent the message.
- arg
- The user-defined argument optionally defined by
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg
() orSSL_set_msg_callback_arg
().
NOTES
Protocol messages are passed to the callback function after decryption and fragment collection where applicable. (Thus record boundaries are not visible.)
If processing a received protocol message results in an error, the callback function may not be called. For example, the callback function will never see messages that are considered too large to be processed.
Due to automatic protocol version negotiation,
version is not necessarily the protocol version used
by the sender of the message: If a TLS 1.0 ClientHello message is received
by an SSL 3.0-only server, version will be
SSL3_VERSION
.
