Changes for version 0.52_01

  • add call to SSL_library_init() in new()
  • maintenance taken over by brian d foy and David Landgren.
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .51; $DATE="2003-06-10";
  • fixed build problem for OpenSSL 0.9.6 and some builds of perl 5.8.x which resulted in make error:
    • /usr/include/openssl/des.h:193: parse error before '&' token"
    • Thanks to Rob Brown for submitting a similar patch to cover this problem
  • bug fix from Dongqiang Bai when server using proxy cannot resolve host name being connected to
  • Added documentation for updating system OpenSSL libraries for systems such has RedHat that have shared libraries built Work sponsored by Stuart Horner of Core Communications, Inc.
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .49; $DATE="2003-01-30";
  • Documentation updates, including new support address for LWP issues, and $ENV{HTTPS_DEBUG} flag.
  • Added c:/openssl in default search path on win32 machines which is the recommended installation area in the openssl dist
  • Added patch from Pavel Hlavnicka for freeing memory leaks from SSL_CTX_use_pkcs12_file() whose functionality is triggered by the $ENV{HTTPS_PKCS12_*} settings
  • Set timeout to 15 seconds for ./net_ssl_test and lwp-ssl-test sample scripts for better testing of timeout behavior
  • Added alarm() during Net::SSL->read() to honor socket timeout setting for more robust applications. read() will die_with_error() which in consistent with previous semantics used during SSL read() failure Thanks to Pavel Hlavnicka for prompting this change.
  • Removed code that supported versions of SSLeay before version 0.8 I believe SSLeay v.8 was released back in 1998
  • Added patch from Devin Heitmueller so that initial random seed would be taken from /dev/urandom if available via RAND_load_file API
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .45; $DATE="2002-08-01";
  • PKCS12 certificate support, patch submitted by Beni Takahashi, author of patch Daisuke Kuroda
  • Fixing compile warnings on Solaris 8/Sparc with Forte 7.0 about implicit conversions and implicit declarations. Thanks to Marek Rouchal for bug report.
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .43; $DATE="2002-07-29";
  • Removed unused dependency on URI::URL, thanks to Ric Steinberger for pointing out this problem under perl 5.8.0
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .41; $DATE="2002-07-07";
  • fixed t/net_ssl.t to work on Windows NT
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .40; $DATE="2002-07-03";
    • = improvement; - = bug fix
  • fixed Makefile.PL use of dirname() which could error for perl 5.8.x Thanks to Chip Turner of RedHat for patch.
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .39; $DATE="2002-06-23";
  • Fixed a runtime error with Net::SSL->proxy for running under perl warnings with no proxy defined, which t/net_ssl.t test case revealed.
  • Added t/net_ssl.t test for initializing a Net::SSL object
  • Added build platform success note for ( thanks Christopher! )
    • Solaris 2.8 Sparc ? 5.00503 .37 2002-05-31 Christopher Biow
  • Added build auto-detect for 0.9.6+ and only then use OPENSSL_free instead of free() since older OpenSSL like 0.9.4 did not have it.
  • Added ./net_ssl_test -CAfile documentation, and root CA file from mod_ssl distribution at certs/ca-bundle.crt that can be used for general root CA peer certificate verification.
  • Added build notes for
    • SunOS 4.1.4, Perl 5.004_04 - ld.so: Undefined symbol: _CRYPT_mem_ctrl
    • from Jeff Haferman.
  • When Net::SSL->connect() being called from LWP::UserAgent in proxy mode, will connect to the proxy passing the $ua->agent string as
    • CONNECT $peer_addr:$peer_port HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: $ua->agent
  • Integrated Richard Chen's patches for exposing the Net::SSL certificate dates via an API:
    • Crypt::SSLeay::X509::not_before Crypt::SSLeay::X509::not_after
    • which can be gotten to by a call like...
      • Net::SSL->new(...)->get_peer_certificate->not_after;
    • These methods return a normal timestamp like: 2002-05-22 11:15:17 GMT There is an example of its use in the ./net_ssl_test script.
    • The Crypt::SSLeay::* modules will continue to remain undocumented because such functionality lies outside the scope of what this module is geared for. Net::SSLeay provides a more general API for OpenSSL functionality.
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .37; $DATE="2002-01-08";
    • = improvement; - = bug fix
  • use OPENSSL_free() instead of free() to fix crashes with win32 perl 5.6.1 Thanks to Doug MacEachern for patch.
  • added Makefile.PL Candidate() path for win32 builds of OpenSSL Thanks to David Morse for patch.
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .36; $DATE="2001-12-05";
  • perl Makefile.PL C:/some_path should be picked up now ... was doing case insensitive drive letter check before
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .35; $DATE="2001-10-31";
  • Set local $SIG{PIPE} = \&die before $ssl->connect() to capture the "broken pipe" error associated with connecting to a computer that is not running a SSL web server, when Crypt::SSLeay is built with OpenSSL 0.9.6a. This error did not occur with OpenSSL 0.9.4 or OpenSSL 0.9.5a, but this fix should be compatible with those versions too.
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .33; $DATE="2001-10-31";
  • Documented differences / conflicts between LWP proxy support and Crypt::SSLeay which seems to be a source of confusion for users.
  • Added Net::SSL::get_peer_verify call so the warning header from LWP that says:
    • Client-SSL-Warning: Peer certificate not verified
    • can be suppressed when HTTPS_CA_FILE & HTTPS_CA_DIR environment variables are set to invoke peer certificate verification. I will submit patch for perl-libwww 5.6 for this support of get_peer_verify shortly.
    • Modified return values of $ctx->set_verify() to return 1 when peer verification is enabled to support get_peer_verify()
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .31; $DATE="2001-09-21";
  • $ENV{HTTPS_DEBUG} activates Crypt::SSLeay specific debugging, so one can debug from LWP:: calls without using ./net_ssl_test script
  • $ENV{CRYPT_SSLEAY_DEFAULT} may now be set to trigger --default functionality for Makefile.PL
  • Added --default switch to Makefile.PL which will pick up the first OpenSSL distribution detected and use that for building Crypt::SSLeay. Inspired by Doug MacEachern
  • removed exit from Makefile.PL, bug found by Doug MacEachern
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .29; $DATE="2001-06-29";
  • Streamlined *CA* patches so only in $CTX->set_verify() which gets called every time now.
  • Throw error instead of return undef in Net::SSL->connect() because we loose the errors otherwise. Applications working with Net::SSL will have to trap calls around Net::SSL->connect with eval {}. There are so many kinds of errors now, especially with certificate support that we really need to throw specific error messages, and not let them get lost in $!.
  • Turn SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY on so clients can survive changes in SSLVerifyClient changes in the modssl connection
    • Comment from source: /* The set mode is necessary so the SSL connection can
      • survive a renegotiated cipher that results from
      • modssl VerifyClient config changing between
      • VirtualHost & some other config block. At modssl
      • this would be a [trace] ssl message:
      • "Changed client verification type will force renegotiation"
    • #ifdef SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY SSL_set_mode(ssl, SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY); #endif
    • Seems like openssl 0.9.4 didn't need this but 0.9.6 does, not sure though.
  • Integrated patches from Gamid Isayev for CA peer verification. New settings include:
    • $ENV{HTTPS_CA_FILE} = "some_file"; $ENV{HTTPS_CA_DIR} = "some_dir";
    • Also create config switches for these in ./net_ssl_test, -CAfile and -CAdir
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .27; $DATE="TBA";
  • Client certs weren't working correctly, setup certs earlier in connection now, also create new CTX per request, so cert settings don't remain sticky from one request to the next.
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .25; $DATE="2001-04-10";
  • update ./net_ssl_test to do smart parsing of host, where host can now be of the form http://www.nodeworks.com:443/
  • integrated client cert patches provided by Tobias Manthey, creating new config options:
    • $ENV{HTTPS_CERT_FILE} -- file of client certificate $ENV{HTTPS_KEY_FILE} -- file of private key file
    • Also support for these options in ./net_ssl_test with these options:
    • -cert client certificate file -key private key file
    • like so:
      • ./net_ssl_test -cert=notacacert.pem -key=notacakeynopass.pem -d
    • To create simple test cert with openssl:
      • /usr/local/openssl/bin/openssl req -config /usr/local/openssl/openssl.cnf -new -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -x509 -keyout notacakey.pem -out notacacert.pem /usr/local/openssl/bin/openssl rsa -in notacakey.pem -out notacakeynopass.pem
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .24; $DATE="2001-03-09";
    • = improvement; - = bug fix
  • local $@ in Net::SSL::DESTROY so we don't kill real errors
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .23; $DATE="2001-03-09";
  • added lwp-ssl-test file for showing LWP code use
  • added -h/-help options & docs to ./net_ssl_test script
  • updated alpha linux patch from Alex Rhomberg to what he originally provided, as it covered -lots case better.
  • return undef in Net::SSL::connect() instead of die() for better LWP support & error handling. Still set $@ though, consistent with IO::Socket::INET
  • alarm() on Unix platforms around ssl ctx connect, which can hang for process for way too long when trying to connect to dead https SSL servers.
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .22; $DATE="2001-01-29";
  • remove // style comments
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .21; $DATE="2001-01-10";
  • AIX build notes correction
  • No reverse lookup for host done for proxying, more efficient. Reuse of cached PeerAddr name from Net::SSL->new
  • $ENV{HTTPS_VERSION} setting, so a SSL v3 connection can be used first, instead of SSLv23. Documented in README,pod. Added support for this to the test program as:
    • ./net_ssl_test -v[ersion] 3
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .19; $DATE="2001-01-07";
  • Added runtime SSL debugging support, was compile time before. Trigger with Net::SSL->new(..., SSL_Debug => 1) as in the ./net_ssl_test script run with -d argument. No API for debugging from LWP requests, just for https debugging with ./net_ssl_test really.
  • Added support for proxy via $ENV{HTTPS_PROXY} = proxy_host:proxy_port. Thanks to Bryan Hart for the patch. Also basic auth support added & documented.
  • alpha linux ccc support with -lots library added for compile. Patch from Alex Rhomberg.
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .18; $DATE="2000-11-25";
  • created perl/c destructors for the X509 cert for after its fetched by Net::SSL. Crypt::SSLeay seems to run without memory leaks now under LWP and Net::SSL.
  • Updated Net::SSL::VERSION, bad version last release.
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .17; $DATE="2000-09-04";
  • got rid of an implicit char* conversion compile warnings for SSL_get_cipher
  • random seeding now occurs with RAND_seed() on random data from the C call stack, works more consistently than RAND_load_file from Ben's patch.
  • integrated patches from Ben Laurie for better error messaging and random seed initialization
  • set_cipher_list initialized from $ENV{CRYPT_SSLEAY_CIPHER} where before it was initialized from $ENV{SSL_CIPHER}, patch from Ben Laurie, so ENV setting not conflict with Apache-SSL
  • tested POST LWP requests and updated documentation indicating that such use is supported
  • net_ssl_test now checks https://www.nodeworks.com by default which has high uptime so should be fine.
  • first argument to perl Makefile.pl must be an absolute path for it to be used as default OpenSSL build path
  • define PL_sv_undef symbols for older perls that don't support it, alias to sv_undef
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .16; $DATE="2000-02-25";
  • changes sv_undef calls to PL_sv_undef, since sv_undef is no longer supported under the latest dev releases of perl 5.0056
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .15; $DATE="1999-11-23";
  • reordered header includes for ActiveState people, likely for easier compiling with perl object.
  • Added support for cranky SSLv3 sites. These are sites that don't acknowledge SSLv23 requests, such as:
    • https://www.evergreen-funds.com https://ecomm.sella.it
    • So now, the module will try connects to SSL servers in this order: SSLv23, SSLv3, SSLv2
    • None of the sites that I tested required only SSLv2 connects, but it is there just in case.
  • using the call SSLeay_add_all_algorithms(); instead of SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms(), because the latter symbol was not defined on one person's installation.
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .14; $DATE="1999-10-03";
  • = improvement; - = bug fix
  • added support for RSAref tweaked OpenSSL
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .12; $DATE="1999-09-13";
  • Converted // style comments to /* */ for build support of Sun's native cc
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .11; $DATE="1999-08-16";
  • New connection strategy suggested by OpenSSL list, first try connecting with SSLv23. This negotiates the more secure SSL3 first, and then downgrades to SSLv2 if first unsuccessful. For buggy servers that can't handle the SSLv23 negotiation, Net::SSL then tries a raw SSLv2 connection.
    • This method works for all servers tested, and has the advantage of tranmitting data via the most secure SSL3 method if available.
  • Connects to buggy SSLv2 sites as well as SSLv3 sites & normal SSLv2 sites.
    • Buggy SSLv2: https://banking.wellsfargo.com SSLv3: https://www.accountonline.com/CB/MainMenu.idcl SSLv2: https://www.nodeworks.com
  • $MODULE=Crypt::SSLeay; $VERSION = .11; $DATE="1999-08-10";
  • Worked through __umoddi3 undef symbol error for building on Solaris x86. See README build notes.
  • I try to provide backwards compatible building with SSLeay (< v.0.9.2)
  • Will pick up ssl distributions installed at /usr/local/openssl, and /usr/local/ssl ... openssl headers should be at $SSL_DIR/include/openssl for compilation to work, see README for installation hints.
  • Added SSL 3.0 support with SSLv3_client_method() This method will autonegotiate SSL2 or SSL3, and works for web sites that require SSL3
  • Added build support in Makefile.PL for WinNT, MS Visual C++
  • Added support for OpenSSL v.0.9.4
  • 1998-10-13 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
    • Release 0.07
    • Applied patch from Andreas Gustafsson <gson@araneus.fi> which make this module compile on WinNT with ActivePerl and MS Visual C++. For others that try to build on this platform, Andreas also said:
      • "In addition to making these source changes, I also had to resort to editing the MakeMaker-generated makefile by hand to fix various library paths. Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with either MakeMaker or NT to provide a clean fix for this problem."
  • 1998-01-13 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
    • Release 0.06 and 0.05
    • Fixed test script t/ssl_context.t
    • SSL->connect can return 0. Fixed bug in Net::SSL
  • 1998-01-12 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
    • Release 0.04
    • Mention depreciation in the README. Eric's version of the SSLeay glue will replace this module (as well as Sampo Kellomaki's Net::SSLeay).
  • 1998-01-11 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
    • Release 0.03
    • Fixed this file
  • 1998-01-11 Gisle Aas <aas@sn.no>
    • Release 0.02
    • More text in the README
