DESCRIPTION
BIO_s_connect() returns the connect BIO method. This is a wrapper round
the platform's TCP/IP socket connection routines.
Using connect BIOs, TCP/IP connections can be made and data transferred
using only BIO routines. In this way any platform specific operations
are hidden by the BIO abstraction.
Read and write operations on a connect BIO will perform I/O on the
underlying connection. If no connection is established and the port and
hostname (see below) is set up properly then a connection is
established first.
Connect BIOs support BIO_puts() but not BIO_gets().
If the close flag is set on a connect BIO then any active connection is
shutdown and the socket closed when the BIO is freed.
Calling BIO_reset() on a connect BIO will close any active connection
and reset the BIO into a state where it can connect to the same host
again.
BIO_get_fd() places the underlying socket in c if it is not NULL, it
also returns the socket . If c is not NULL it should be of type (int
*).
BIO_set_conn_hostname() uses the string name to set the hostname. The
hostname can be an IP address; if the address is an IPv6 one, it must
be enclosed with brackets. The hostname can also include the port in
the form hostname:port.
BIO_set_conn_port() sets the port to port. port can be the numerical
form or a string such as "http". A string will be looked up first using
getservbyname() on the host platform but if that fails a standard table
of port names will be used. This internal list is http, telnet, socks,
https, ssl, ftp, and gopher.
BIO_set_conn_address() sets the address and port information using a
BIO_ADDR(3ssl).
BIO_set_conn_ip_family() sets the IP family.
BIO_get_conn_hostname() returns the hostname of the connect BIO or NULL
if the BIO is initialized but no hostname is set. This return value is
an internal pointer which should not be modified.
BIO_get_conn_port() returns the port as a string. This return value is
an internal pointer which should not be modified.
BIO_get_conn_address() returns the address information as a BIO_ADDR.
This return value is an internal pointer which should not be modified.
BIO_get_conn_ip_family() returns the IP family of the connect BIO.
BIO_set_nbio() sets the non blocking I/O flag to n. If n is zero then
blocking I/O is set. If n is 1 then non blocking I/O is set. Blocking
I/O is the default. The call to BIO_set_nbio() should be made before
the connection is established because non blocking I/O is set during
the connect process.
BIO_new_connect() combines BIO_new() and BIO_set_conn_hostname() into a
single call: that is it creates a new connect BIO with name.
BIO_do_connect() attempts to connect the supplied BIO. It returns 1 if
the connection was established successfully. A zero or negative value
is returned if the connection could not be established, the call
BIO_should_retry() should be used for non blocking connect BIOs to
determine if the call should be retried.
NOTES
If blocking I/O is set then a non positive return value from any I/O
call is caused by an error condition, although a zero return will
normally mean that the connection was closed.
If the port name is supplied as part of the hostname then this will
override any value set with BIO_set_conn_port(). This may be
undesirable if the application does not wish to allow connection to
arbitrary ports. This can be avoided by checking for the presence of
the ':' character in the passed hostname and either indicating an error
or truncating the string at that point.
The values returned by BIO_get_conn_hostname(), BIO_get_conn_address(),
and BIO_get_conn_port() are updated when a connection attempt is made.
Before any connection attempt the values returned are those set by the
application itself.
Applications do not have to call BIO_do_connect() but may wish to do so
to separate the connection process from other I/O processing.
If non blocking I/O is set then retries will be requested as
appropriate.
It addition to BIO_should_read() and BIO_should_write() it is also
possible for BIO_should_io_special() to be true during the initial
connection process with the reason BIO_RR_CONNECT. If this is returned
then this is an indication that a connection attempt would block, the
application should then take appropriate action to wait until the
underlying socket has connected and retry the call.
BIO_set_conn_hostname(), BIO_set_conn_port(), BIO_get_conn_hostname(),
BIO_set_conn_address(), BIO_get_conn_port(), BIO_get_conn_address(),
BIO_set_conn_ip_family(), BIO_get_conn_ip_family(), BIO_set_nbio(), and
BIO_do_connect() are macros.
RETURN VALUES
BIO_s_connect() returns the connect BIO method.
BIO_get_fd() returns the socket or -1 if the BIO has not been
initialized.
BIO_set_conn_address(), BIO_set_conn_port(), and
BIO_set_conn_ip_family() always return 1.
BIO_set_conn_hostname() returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.
BIO_get_conn_address() returns the address information or NULL if none
was set.
BIO_get_conn_hostname() returns the connected hostname or NULL if none
was set.
BIO_get_conn_ip_family() returns the address family or -1 if none was
set.
BIO_get_conn_port() returns a string representing the connected port or
NULL if not set.
BIO_set_nbio() always returns 1.
BIO_do_connect() returns 1 if the connection was successfully
established and 0 or -1 if the connection failed.
EXAMPLES
This is example connects to a webserver on the local host and attempts
to retrieve a page and copy the result to standard output.
BIO *cbio, *out;
int len;
char tmpbuf[1024];
cbio = BIO_new_connect("localhost:http");
out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE);
if (BIO_do_connect(cbio) <= 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Error connecting to server\n");
ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
exit(1);
}
BIO_puts(cbio, "GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n");
for (;;) {
len = BIO_read(cbio, tmpbuf, 1024);
if (len <= 0)
break;
BIO_write(out, tmpbuf, len);
}
BIO_free(cbio);
BIO_free(out);

HISTORY
BIO_set_conn_int_port(), BIO_get_conn_int_port(), BIO_set_conn_ip(),
and BIO_get_conn_ip() were removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0. Use
BIO_set_conn_address() and BIO_get_conn_address() instead.
