Net::Server::Proto::SSL(3)           User Contributed Perl Documentation          Net::Server::Proto::SSL(3)



NAME
         Net::Server::Proto::SSL - adp0 - Net::Server SSL protocol.

SYNOPSIS
       See Net::Server::Proto.

DESCRIPTION
       Experimental.  If anybody has any successes or ideas for improvment under SSL, please email
       <perl.ssl@seamons.com>.  This is extremely alpha.

       Protocol module for Net::Server.  This module implements a secure socket layer over tcp (also known
       as SSL).  See Net::Server::Proto.

       There is a limit inherent from using IO::Socket::SSL, namely that only one SSL connection can be
       maintained by Net::Server.  However, Net::Server should also be able to maintain any number of TCP,
       UDP, or UNIX connections in addition to the one SSL connection.

       Additionally, getline support is very limited and writing directly to STDOUT will not work.  This is
       entirely dependent upon the implementation of IO::Socket::SSL.  getline may work but the client is
       not copied to STDOUT under SSL.  It is suggested that clients sysread and syswrite to the client
       handle (located in $self->{server}->{client} or passed to the process_request subroutine as the first
       argument).

PARAMETERS
       In addition to the normal Net::Server parameters, any of the SSL parameters from IO::Socket::SSL may
       also be specified.  See IO::Socket::SSL for information on setting this up.

LICENCE
       Distributed under the same terms as Net::Server

THANKS
       Thanks to Vadim for pointing out the IO::Socket::SSL accept was returning objects blessed into the
       wrong class.
