temp buffer used with ssl_write

2010-07-11 Thread Amit Ben Shahar
Hi, Does anyone know if a buffer passed to ssl_write (or any other method) must remain valid (i.e not freed) for any period. for example, if i have this code: // allocate buffer char* tmpBuff = (char*)malloc(1024); // .. some code to put data in buff // write buffer to ssl

RSA_generate_key_ex documentation

I've been looking all over for this, and I can't find it. Background - I'm trying to build stunnel on a platform that doesn't include RSA_generate_key, so I need to modify it to use the newer API. At the very least, I need to know how to check the return value of the new API. Thanks! --

The new API is called RSA_generate_key_ex() and has a different interface. To convert from the older to the newer, see attached files: these are from a local __patched__ openssl tree, which means the BN_value_RSA_F4() API is mine, not OpenSSL's. Attached files: - a patched copy of

OCSP Response problem

2010-07-11 Thread Wockenfuß , Frank
Hi all, I'm writing a program to check a certificate with OCSP in C++. I'm doing all in the same way as in ocsp.c from the OpenSSL-App, but I get no useful return from OCSP_RESPONSE* pOCSPResponse = NULL; nRet = OCSP_sendreq_nbio( pOCSPResponse, pOCSPContext ); nRet is 0 and
