173 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
174 \&\fIBIO_s_connect()\fR returns the connect \s-1BIO\s0 method. This is a wrapper
175 round the platform's \s-1TCP/IP\s0 socket connection routines.
177 Using connect BIOs, \s-1TCP/IP\s0 connections can be made and data
178 transferred using only \s-1BIO\s0 routines. In this way any platform
179 specific operations are hidden by the \s-1BIO\s0 abstraction.
181 Read and write operations on a connect \s-1BIO\s0 will perform I/O
182 on the underlying connection. If no connection is established
183 and the port and hostname (see below) is set up properly then
184 a connection is established first.
186 Connect BIOs support \fIBIO_puts()\fR but not \fIBIO_gets()\fR.
188 If the close flag is set on a connect \s-1BIO\s0 then any active
189 connection is shutdown and the socket closed when the \s-1BIO\s0
192 Calling \fIBIO_reset()\fR on a connect \s-1BIO\s0 will close any active
193 connection and reset the \s-1BIO\s0 into a state where it can connect
194 to the same host again.
196 \&\fIBIO_get_fd()\fR places the underlying socket in \fBc\fR if it is not \s-1NULL,\s0
197 it also returns the socket . If \fBc\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0 it should be of
200 \&\fIBIO_set_conn_hostname()\fR uses the string \fBname\fR to set the hostname.
201 The hostname can be an \s-1IP\s0 address. The hostname can also include the
202 port in the form hostname:port . It is also acceptable to use the
203 form \*(L"hostname/any/other/path\*(R" or \*(L"hostname:port/any/other/path\*(R".
205 \&\fIBIO_set_conn_port()\fR sets the port to \fBport\fR. \fBport\fR can be the
206 numerical form or a string such as \*(L"http\*(R". A string will be looked
207 up first using \fIgetservbyname()\fR on the host platform but if that
208 fails a standard table of port names will be used. Currently the
209 list is http, telnet, socks, https, ssl, ftp, gopher and wais.
211 \&\fIBIO_set_conn_ip()\fR sets the \s-1IP\s0 address to \fBip\fR using binary form,
212 that is four bytes specifying the \s-1IP\s0 address in big-endian form.
214 \&\fIBIO_set_conn_int_port()\fR sets the port using \fBport\fR. \fBport\fR should
217 \&\fIBIO_get_conn_hostname()\fR returns the hostname of the connect \s-1BIO\s0 or
218 \&\s-1NULL\s0 if the \s-1BIO\s0 is initialized but no hostname is set.
219 This return value is an internal pointer which should not be modified.
221 \&\fIBIO_get_conn_port()\fR returns the port as a string.
223 \&\fIBIO_get_conn_ip()\fR returns the \s-1IP\s0 address in binary form.
225 \&\fIBIO_get_conn_int_port()\fR returns the port as an int.
227 \&\fIBIO_set_nbio()\fR sets the non blocking I/O flag to \fBn\fR. If \fBn\fR is
228 zero then blocking I/O is set. If \fBn\fR is 1 then non blocking I/O
229 is set. Blocking I/O is the default. The call to \fIBIO_set_nbio()\fR
230 should be made before the connection is established because
231 non blocking I/O is set during the connect process.
233 \&\fIBIO_new_connect()\fR combines \fIBIO_new()\fR and \fIBIO_set_conn_hostname()\fR into
234 a single call: that is it creates a new connect \s-1BIO\s0 with \fBname\fR.
236 \&\fIBIO_do_connect()\fR attempts to connect the supplied \s-1BIO.\s0 It returns 1
237 if the connection was established successfully. A zero or negative
238 value is returned if the connection could not be established, the
239 call \fIBIO_should_retry()\fR should be used for non blocking connect BIOs
240 to determine if the call should be retried.
243 If blocking I/O is set then a non positive return value from any
244 I/O call is caused by an error condition, although a zero return
245 will normally mean that the connection was closed.
247 If the port name is supplied as part of the host name then this will
248 override any value set with \fIBIO_set_conn_port()\fR. This may be undesirable
249 if the application does not wish to allow connection to arbitrary
250 ports. This can be avoided by checking for the presence of the ':'
251 character in the passed hostname and either indicating an error or
252 truncating the string at that point.
254 The values returned by \fIBIO_get_conn_hostname()\fR, \fIBIO_get_conn_port()\fR,
255 \&\fIBIO_get_conn_ip()\fR and \fIBIO_get_conn_int_port()\fR are updated when a
256 connection attempt is made. Before any connection attempt the values
257 returned are those set by the application itself.
259 Applications do not have to call \fIBIO_do_connect()\fR but may wish to do
260 so to separate the connection process from other I/O processing.
262 If non blocking I/O is set then retries will be requested as appropriate.
264 It addition to \fIBIO_should_read()\fR and \fIBIO_should_write()\fR it is also
265 possible for \fIBIO_should_io_special()\fR to be true during the initial
266 connection process with the reason \s-1BIO_RR_CONNECT.\s0 If this is returned
267 then this is an indication that a connection attempt would block,
268 the application should then take appropriate action to wait until
269 the underlying socket has connected and retry the call.

273 \&\fIBIO_get_conn_ip()\fR, \fIBIO_get_conn_int_port()\fR, \fIBIO_set_nbio()\fR and
