net::server::proto::ssl(3)
NAME
- Net::Server::Proto::SSL - adp0 - Net::Server SSL proto
- col.
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 depen
dent 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 speci
fied. See IO::Socket::SSL for information on setting this
up.
LICENCE

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