A working example showing how to import an OS-native file descriptor into the NSPR framework is provided here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=334117 That plugs NSPR/PSM into OpenLDAP's sockbuf handler (which is the moral equivalent of both BIOs and NSPR fds...) Likewise you can look at the sockbuf support in OpenLDAP here http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/libraries/libldap/ and compare the sockbuf interface to BIOs in tls_o.c with the sockbuf interface to NSPR in tls_m.c. This is a more extensive example because it sandwiches the SSL layers from both top and bottom; i.e. there is a sockbuf layer that sits above the SSL layer (between libldap and the SSL library), and another sockbuf layer below the SSL layer (between the SSL library and the network). -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/ _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
