SSL specific functions

void cp_client_ssl_init();
void cp_client_ssl_shutdown();
cp_client *cp_client_create_ssl(char *host, int port,

X509 *cp_client_get_server_certificate(cp_client *client);

DESCRIPTION

cp_client is a tcp client socket. cp_client_create or cp_client_create_ssl create a socket to connect to the specified host and port, cp_client_connect attempt to create the connection, cp_client_close closes the connection and cp_client_destroy deallocates the client structure. Once a connection has been established cp_client_read or cp_client_read_string may be used to read from the open connection and cp_client_write or cp_client_write_string may be used to write.

SSL functionality is implemented using the openssl api. Functions specific to secure connections are available if the libcprops installation was configured to use ssl.

For more on specific functions see the individual function man pages.
