This interface defines the secure socket stream connection.
A secure connection is established using
Connector.open with the scheme "ssl" and the secure
connection is established before open returns.
If the secure connection cannot be established due to errors
related to certificates a CertificateException is thrown.
A secure socket is accessed using a generic connection string
with an explicit host and port number. The host may be specified
as a fully qualified host name or
IPv4 number.
e.g. ssl://host.com:79 defines a target socket on the
host.com system at
port 79.
Note that
RFC1900 recommends the use of names rather than IP numbers for best results
in the event of IP number reassignment.
A secure connection MUST be implemented by one or more
of the following specifications:
BNF Format for Connector.open() string
The URI must conform to the BNF syntax specified below. If the URI
does not conform to this syntax, an IllegalArgumentException
is thrown.
| <socket_connection_string> |
::= "ssl://"<hostport> |
| <hostport> |
::= host ":" port |
| <host> |
::= host name or IP address
|
| <port> |
::= numeric port number |
Examples
The following examples show how a SecureConnection
would be used to access a sample loopback program.
SecureConnection sc = (SecureConnection)
Connector.open("ssl://host.com:79");
SecurityInfo info = sc.getSecurityInfo();
boolean isTLS = (info.getProtocolName().equals("TLS"));
sc.setSocketOption(SocketConnection.LINGER, 5);
InputStream is = sc.openInputStream();
OutputStream os = sc.openOutputStream();
os.write("\r\n".getBytes());
int ch = 0;
while(ch != -1) {
ch = is.read();
}
is.close();
os.close();
sc.close();
