Here's my simple openssl client test case trying to connect to google.com:443.
According to the manual, BIO_do_connect should return 1, 0 or -1. Google didn't find me anyone for whom it returns 0, which it does for me.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
#include <openssl/err.h>
int main()
{
SSL_load_error_strings();
SSL_library_init();
ERR_load_BIO_strings();
OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms();
SSL_CTX *p_ssl_ctx = NULL;
SSL *p_ssl = NULL;
BIO * bio = NULL;
int r = 0;
// init ssl context
p_ssl_ctx = SSL_CTX_new(SSLv2_client_method()); /* Create new context */
if (p_ssl_ctx == NULL)
{
ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
return 3;
}
const char *store_path = "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt";
r = SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(p_ssl_ctx, store_path, NULL);
if (r == 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Unable to load the trust store from %s.\n", store_path);
return 4;
}
bio = BIO_new_ssl_connect(p_ssl_ctx);
if (!bio) {
fprintf(stderr, "no bio \n");
return 5;
}
BIO_get_ssl(bio, &p_ssl);
if (!(p_ssl)) {
fprintf(stderr, "no ssl\n");
return 6;
}
SSL_set_mode(p_ssl, SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY);
BIO_set_conn_hostname(bio, "www.google.com:443");
r = BIO_do_connect(bio);
if (r < 1) {
fprintf(stderr, "BIO_new_ssl_connect failed: %lu (0x%lx)\n", r, r);
fprintf(stderr, "Error: %s\n", ERR_reason_error_string(ERR_get_error()));
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", ERR_error_string(ERR_get_error(), NULL));
ERR_print_errors_fp(stderr);
perror("bio");
return 7;
}
if (SSL_get_verify_result(p_ssl) != X509_V_OK) {
fprintf(stderr, "Unable to verify connection result.\n");
return 8;
}
return 0;
}
returns:
BIO_new_ssl_connect failed: 0 (0x0)
Error: (null)
error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0)
bio: Success
so how do i get the actual error out of this?
