The new client has become an independent libcrpyto module in crypto/http/ and
* can handle any types of requests and responses (ASN.1-encoded and plain)
* does not include potentially busy loops when waiting for responses but
* makes use of a new timeout mechanism integrated with socket-based BIO
* supports the use of HTTP proxies and TLS, including HTTPS over proxies
* supports HTTP redirection via codes 301 and 302 for GET requests
* returns more useful diagnostics in various error situations
Also adapts - and strongly simplifies - hitherto uses of HTTP in crypto/ocsp/,
crypto/x509/x_all.c, apps/lib/apps.c, and apps/{ocsp,s_client,s_server}.c

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
OSSL_HTTP_get() uses HTTP GET to obtain data (of any type) from the given B<url>
|
|
and returns it as a memory BIO.
|
|
|
|
OSSL_HTTP_get_asn1() uses HTTP GET to obtain an ASN.1-encoded value
|
|
(e.g., an X.509 certificate) with the expected structure specified by B<it>
|
|
(e.g., I<ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)>) from the given B<url>
|
|
and returns it on success as a pointer to I<ASN1_VALUE>.
|
|
|
|
OSSL_HTTP_post_asn1() uses the HTTP POST method to send a request B<req>
|
|
with the ASN.1 structure defined in B<req_it> and the given B<content_type> to
|
|
the given B<server> and optional B<port> and B<path>, which defaults to "/".
|
|
If B<use_ssl> is nonzero a TLS connection is requested and the B<bio_update_fn>
|
|
parameter, described below, must be provided.
|
|
The optional list B<headers> may contain additional custom HTTP header lines.
|
|
The expected structure of the response is specified by B<rsp_it>.
|
|
On success it returns the response as a pointer to B<ASN1_VALUE>.
|
|
|
|
OSSL_HTTP_transfer() exchanges an HTTP request and response with
|
|
the given B<server> and optional B<port> and B<path>, which defaults to "/".
|
|
If B<use_ssl> is nonzero a TLS connection is requested and the B<bio_update_fn>
|
|
parameter, described below, must be provided.
|
|
If B<req_mem> is NULL it uses the HTTP GET method, else it uses HTTP POST to
|
|
send a request with the contents of the memory BIO and optional B<content_type>.
|
|
The optional list B<headers> may contain additional custom HTTP header lines.
|
|
If B<req_mem> is NULL (i.e., the HTTP method is GET) and B<redirection_url>
|
|
is not NULL the latter pointer is used to provide any new location that
|
|
the server may return with HTTP code 301 (MOVED_PERMANENTLY) or 302 (FOUND).
|
|
In this case the caller is responsible for deallocating this URL with
|
|
L<OPENSSL_free(3)>.
|
|
|
|
The above functions have the following parameters in common.
|
|
|
|
If the B<proxy> parameter is not NULL the HTTP client functions connect
|
|
via the given proxy and the optionally given B<proxy_port>.
|
|
Proxying plain HTTP is supported directly,
|
|
while using a proxy for HTTPS connections requires a suitable callback function
|
|
such as OSSL_HTTP_proxy_connect(), described below.
|
|
|
|
Typically the B<bio> and B<rbio> parameters are NULL and the client creates a
|
|
network BIO internally for connecting to the given server and port (optionally
|
|
via a proxy and its port), and uses it for exchanging the request and response.
|
|
If B<bio> is given and B<rbio> is NULL then the client uses this BIO instead.
|
|
If both B<bio> and B<rbio> are given (which may be memory BIOs for instance)
|
|
then no explicit connection is attempted,
|
|
B<bio> is used for writing the request, and B<rbio> for reading the response.
|
|
As soon as the client has flushed B<bio> the server must be ready to provide
|
|
a response or indicate a waiting condition via B<rbio>.
|
|
|
|
The B<maxline> parameter specifies the response header maximum line length,
|
|
where 0 indicates the default value, which currently is 4k.
|
|
The B<max_resp_len> parameter specifies the maximum response length,
|
|
where 0 indicates the default value, which currently is 100k.
|
|
|
|
An ASN.1-encoded response is expected by OSSL_HTTP_get_asn1() and
|
|
OSSL_HTTP_post_asn1(), while for OSSL_HTTP_get() or OSSL_HTTP_transfer()
|
|
this is only the case if the B<expect_asn1> parameter is nonzero.
|
|
If the response header contains one or more Content-Length header lines and/or
|
|
an ASN.1-encoded response is expected, which should include a total length,
|
|
the length indications received are checked for consistency
|
|
and for not exceeding the maximum response length.
|
|
|
|
If the parameter B<expected_content_type> (or B<expected_ct>, respectively)
|
|
is not NULL then the HTTP client checks that the given content type string
|
|
is included in the HTTP header of the response and returns an error if not.
|
|
|
|
If the B<timeout> parameter is > 0 this indicates the maximum number of seconds
|
|
to wait until the transfer is complete.
|
|
A value of 0 enables waiting indefinitely,
|
|
while a value < 0 immediately leads to a timeout condition.
|
|
|
|
The optional parameter B<bio_update_fn> with its optional argument B<arg> may
|
|
be used to modify the connection BIO used by the HTTP client (and cannot be
|
|
used when both B<bio> and B<rbio> are given).
|
|
B<bio_update_fn> is a BIO connect/disconnect callback function with prototype
|
|
|
|
BIO *(*OSSL_HTTP_bio_cb_t)(BIO *bio, void *arg, int connect, int detail)
|
|
|
|
The callback may modify the HTTP BIO provided in the B<bio> argument,
|
|
whereby it may make use of a custom defined argument B<arg>,
|
|
which may for instance refer to an I<SSL_CTX> structure.
|
|
During connection establishment, just after calling BIO_connect_retry(),
|
|
the function is invoked with the B<connect> argument being 1 and the B<detail>
|
|
argument being 1 if HTTPS is requested, i.e., SSL/TLS should be enabled.
|
|
On disconnect B<connect> is 0 and B<detail> is 1 if no error occurred, else 0.
|
|
For instance, on connect the function may prepend a TLS BIO to implement HTTPS;
|
|
after disconnect it may do some diagnostic output and/or specific cleanup.
|
|
The function should return NULL to indicate failure.
|
|
Here is a simple example that supports TLS connections (but not via a proxy):
|
|
|
|
BIO *http_tls_cb(BIO *hbio, void *arg, int connect, int detail)
|
|
{
|
|
SSL_CTX *ctx = (SSL_CTX *)arg;
|
|
|
|
if (connect && detail) { /* connecting with TLS */
|
|
BIO *sbio = BIO_new_ssl(ctx, 1);
|
|
hbio = sbio != NULL ? BIO_push(sbio, hbio) : NULL;
|
|
} else if (!connect && !detail) { /* disconnecting after error */
|
|
/* optionally add diagnostics here */
|
|
}
|
|
return hbio;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
After disconnect the modified BIO will be deallocated using BIO_free_all().
|
|
|
|
OSSL_HTTP_proxy_connect() may be used by an above BIO connect callback function
|
|
to set up an SSL/TLS connection via an HTTP proxy.
|
|
It promotes the given BIO B<bio> representing a connection
|
|
pre-established with a TLS proxy using the HTTP CONNECT method,
|
|
optionally using proxy client credentials B<proxyuser> and B<proxypass>,
|
|
to connect with TLS protection ultimately to B<server> and B<port>.
|
|
The B<timeout> parameter is used as described above.
|
|
Since this function is typically called by appplications such as
|
|
L<openssl-s_client(1)> it uses the B<bio_err> and B<prog> parameters (unless
|
|
NULL) to print additional diagnostic information in a user-oriented way.
|
|
|
|
OSSL_HTTP_parse_url() parses its input string B<url> as a URL and splits it up
|
|
into host, port and path components and a flag whether it begins with 'https'.
|
|
The host component may be a DNS name or an IPv4 or an IPv6 address.
|
|
The port component is optional and defaults to "443" for HTTPS, else "80".
|
|
The path component is also optional and defaults to "/".
|
|
As far as the result pointer arguments are not NULL it assigns via
|
|
them copies of the respective string components.
|
|
The strings returned this way must be deallocated by the caller using
|
|
L<OPENSSL_free(3)> unless they are NULL, which is their default value on error.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
OSSL_HTTP_get(), OSSL_HTTP_get_asn1(), OSSL_HTTP_post_asn1(), and
|
|
OSSL_HTTP_transfer() return on success the data received via HTTP, else NULL.
|
|
Error conditions include connection/transfer timeout, parse errors, etc.
|
|
|
|
OSSL_HTTP_proxy_connect() and OSSL_HTTP_parse_url()
|
|
return 1 on success, 0 on error.
