class Socket

package sys.ssl

extends Socket

@:directlyUsed

A TLS socket class : allow you to both connect to a given server and exchange messages or start your own server and wait for connections.

Constructor

new ()

Variables

verifyCert:Null<Bool>

Define if peer certificate is verified during SSL handshake.

Methods

addSNICertificate (cbServernameMatch:String ‑> Bool, cert:Certificate, key:Key):Void

Configure additionals certificates and private keys for Server Name Indication extension. The callback may be called during handshake to determine the certificate to use.

handshake ():Void

Perform the SSL handshake.

peerCertificate ():Certificate

Return the certificate received from the other side of a connection.

setCA (cert:Certificate):Void

Configure the certificate chain for peer certificate verification.

setCertificate (cert:Certificate, key:Key):Void

Configure own certificate and private key.

setHostname (name:String):Void

Configure the hostname for Server Name Indication TLS extension.

Static variables

staticDEFAULT_CA:Null<Certificate>

staticDEFAULT_VERIFY_CERT:Null<Bool>

Inherited Variables

Defined by Socket

custom:Dynamic

A custom value that can be associated with the socket. Can be used to retrieve your custom infos after a select.

read onlyinput:Input

The stream on which you can read available data. By default the stream is blocking until the requested data is available, use setBlocking(false) or setTimeout to prevent infinite waiting.

read onlyoutput:Output

The stream on which you can send data. Please note that in case the output buffer you will block while writing the data, use setBlocking(false) or setTimeout to prevent that.

Inherited Methods

Defined by Socket

accept ():Socket

Accept a new connected client. This will return a connected socket on which you can read/write some data.

bind (host:Host, port:Int):Void

Bind the socket to the given host/port so it can afterwards listen for connections there.

close ():Void

Closes the socket : make sure to properly close all your sockets or you will crash when you run out of file descriptors.

connect (host:Host, port:Int):Void

Connect to the given server host/port. Throw an exception in case we couldn't successfully connect.

host ():{port:Int, host:Host}

Return the information about our side of a connected socket.

listen (connections:Int):Void

Allow the socket to listen for incoming questions. The parameter tells how many pending connections we can have until they get refused. Use accept() to accept incoming connections.

peer ():{port:Int, host:Host}

Return the information about the other side of a connected socket.

read ():String

Read the whole data available on the socket.

setBlocking (b:Bool):Void

Change the blocking mode of the socket. A blocking socket is the default behavior. A non-blocking socket will abort blocking operations immediately by throwing a haxe.io.Error.Blocking value.

setFastSend (b:Bool):Void

Allows the socket to immediately send the data when written to its output : this will cause less ping but might increase the number of packets / data size, especially when doing a lot of small writes.

setTimeout (timeout:Float):Void

Gives a timeout after which blocking socket operations (such as reading and writing) will abort and throw an exception.

shutdown (read:Bool, write:Bool):Void

Shutdown the socket, either for reading or writing.

waitForRead ():Void

Block until some data is available for read on the socket.

write (content:String):Void

Write the whole data to the socket output.
