I've narrowed it down quite a bit:
import net
# proc mainAsync() {.async.} =
# var ctx = newContext()
# var next_socket = newAsyncSocket()
# wrapSocket(ctx, next_socket)
# await next_socket.connect("google.com", Port(443))
# await next_
@dom96
What fixed it in the end was using the async methods. Apparently the non-async
method is broken in some way.
So, the following does appear to work.
import asyncnet, net, asyncdispatch
proc main() {.async.} =
var ctx = newContext()
var next_socket = newAs

You do not need to perform this initialisation! It is done for you by the
stdlib implicitly if `-d:ssl` is passed to the compiler.
I don't see what the error in your code is @JohnAD. Is this a bug caused by the
new SSL changes? (Does it work in 1.0?) Is the problem that a new SSL context
isn't created?
@federico3 if this is a programmer bug then we shouldn't be crashing in such a
confusing way. Can this be improved?
Indeed the documentation in
[https://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html#sslslashtls-support](https://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html#sslslashtls-support)
should be improved
Documentation on setting the SSL context is available at
[https://nim-lang.org/docs/net.html#newContext%2Cstring%2Cstring
This example was working a few months ago
[https://github.com/enthus1ast/nimSslExample](https://github.com/enthus1ast/nimSslExample)
This also shows how a way to get self signed certificates working (not the best
way imho)
The listed error kind of points to a failed SSL handshake. AFAIK, openssl
requires some basic initilisaton steps. . Your example does not list them but I
trust you're performing those steps?
import net, openssl
SSL_library_init()
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms()

lum,
Thanks for the help!
My example is somewhat misleading as I was just trying to make a short and easy
to read example of the problem. So I chose a simple web connection. I agree
with you, if I was trying to reach a web server or any server that used a web
api, **httpClient** would be the w
My machine has `OpenSSL 1.1.1f 31 Mar 2020` installed on it. I find no
references to `libressl`.
And, I see the following libs:
./usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1
./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1

Is openssl problematic?
I see a "nimssl" package in
You can also use **httpClient** (stdlib) for this:
import httpClient
let client = newHttpClient()
var content = client.getContent("https://google.com";)
Run
If you want to send custom https request use this:
import httpclient, json
I had countless issues with Ubuntu SSL, this does not surprise me.
It's probably dynamically linking with the wrong installed SSL. I would delete
all SSL versions but the most resent ones. Can you list the SSL versions you
have installed? Is it openssl or libressl?
Not to say anything silly like "Nim needs more published examples". :)
I'm writing an SSL client and and having some difficulties. Rather than posting
the complex version, I've written a simplified example of a client that simply
sends a string to a website in the sky:
import net
12 matches
