Hello, all. I've been writing a small server-client application that's using GnuTLS's DTLS functionality. I must admit I'm not super familiar with TLS in general, and it seems that DTLS is not used very often, so I can't find too many examples of its use online.
My question is this: is gnutls_bye intended to be used with DTLS "connections"? I realize that there isn't a proper connection in UDP, but it seems like it would be useful to inform the other end of a connection that there will be no further communications in this TLS session. Specifically, the behavior I'm seeing is this. gnutls_bye does send the close alert message over the wire, however the receiving end does not raise an alert error when checking for received packets. I tested other alerts, which go through and raise the proper alert error on the remote end. Also, after receiving the packet containing the close alert, the remote end is still able to send packets back without error. Is this a bug, or intended behavior? Thanks for the help, --Sean _______________________________________________ Gnutls-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnutls-help
