Hi all,
I am trying to port an application from OpenSSL to GnuTLS (in oder to
get TLS 1.2 support). I found the following line in the application:
state->into_ssl = BIO_new(BIO_s_mem());
state->from_ssl = BIO_new(BIO_s_mem());
As BIOs are usually just fds I thought I could easily replace them, but
those are special. The BIO_s_mem man page says:
BIO_s_mem() return the memory BIO method function.
A memory BIO is a source/sink BIO which uses memory for its I/O.
Data written to a memory BIO is stored in a BUF_MEM
structure which is extended as appropriate to accommodate the
stored data.
Is there anything like that in GnuTLS? Or should I rewrite it to use
normal fds? (Or did I just misunderstand something? ;-))
Cheers
Carolin
