Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to perform a clean shutdown of a TLS session, and how the API communicates that back to the application.
>From what I understand so far, if either end of the connection wishes to close the session, it would call gnutls_bye() with GNUTLS_SHUT_RDWR. Assuming the other end of the session is waiting for input with gnutls_record_recv(), it will detect this shutdown request with _recv() returning 0 (EOF). What should the receiving end do in such a case? If it calls close() on the underlying socket, will the gnutls_bye() fail with an error on the other end? Should it call gnutls_bye() itself for that to succeed? Related to the above, is my understanding correct that when either end closes the underlying socket without initiating a gnutls_bye(), the gnutls_record_recv() on the other end will fail with an error? Any clarification on this subjects is appreciated. Yoran. _______________________________________________ Gnutls-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnutls-help
