The function OCSP_sendreq_new()
returns an OCSP_CTX structure using the
responder io, the URL path path, the OCSP request req and with a
response header maximum line length of maxline. If maxline is zero a
default value of 4k is used. The OCSP request req may be set to NULL
and provided later if required.
OCSP_sendreq_nbio()
performs I/O on the OCSP request context rctx.
When the operation is complete it returns the response in *presp.
OCSP_REQ_CTX_free()
frees up the OCSP context rctx.
OCSP_set_max_response_length()
sets the maximum response length
for rctx to len. If the response exceeds this length an error occurs.
If not set a default value of 100k is used.
OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header() adds header name with value value to the
context rctx. It can be called more than once to add multiple headers.
It MUST be called before any calls to OCSP_sendreq_nbio()
. The req
parameter in the initial to OCSP_sendreq_new()
call MUST be set to NULL if
additional headers are set.
OCSP_REQ_CTX_set1_req() sets the OCSP request in rctx to req. This function should be called after any calls to OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header().
OCSP_sendreq_bio()
performs an OCSP request using the responder io, the URL
path path, the OCSP request req and with a response header maximum line
length 4k. It waits indefinitely on a response.
OCSP_sendreq_new()
returns a valid OCSP_REQ_CTX structure or NULL
if an error occurred.
OCSP_sendreq_nbio()
, OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header() and OCSP_REQ_CTX_set1_req()
return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
OCSP_sendreq_bio()
returns the OCSP_RESPONSE structure sent by the
responder or NULL if an error occurred.
OCSP_REQ_CTX_free()
and OCSP_set_max_response_length()
do not return values.
These functions only perform a minimal HTTP query to a responder. If an application wishes to support more advanced features it should use an alternative more complete HTTP library.
Currently only HTTP POST queries to responders are supported.
The arguments to OCSP_sendreq_new()
correspond to the components of the URL.
For example if the responder URL is http://ocsp.com/ocspreq the BIO
io should be connected to host ocsp.com on port 80 and path
should be set to "/ocspreq"
The headers added with OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header() are of the form "name: value" or just "name" if value is NULL. So to add a Host header for ocsp.com you would call:
OCSP_REQ_CTX_add1_header(ctx, "Host", "ocsp.com");
OCSP_sendreq_bio()
does not support timeout nor setting extra headers.
It is retained for compatibility.
Better use OCSP_sendreq_nbio() instead.
