uv-ssl-client

uv-ssl-client is a lightweight wrapper around uv_ssl_t, uv_link_t and http-parser libraries, providing client functionality for raw SSL connections and HTTPS.

A few notable details:

• Pull all submodules (git submodule update --init --recursive) before building.
• The client is using OpenSSL for SSL/TLS functionality. The root path to OpenSSL installation can be provided via -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=.... On macOS, it is recommended to install openssl through Homebrew.
• OpenSSL context mode is SSLv23 which supports both SSL and TLS.
• TCP keep-alive is enabled by default.
• The client supports SNI; tlsext_host_name is always set.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#include <uv.h>
#include <uv_ssl/client.h>
#include <uv_ssl/http.h>

int main() {
    uv_ssl::http_client client("example.org");
    auto loop = uv_loop_new();
    client.on_read([loop](uv_ssl::http_response r) {
        std::cout << std::string(r.buf, r.len) << std::endl;
        uv_stop(loop);
    });
    client.connect(loop);
    auto request =
        "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n"
        "User-Agent: curl/7.51.0\r\n"
        "Host: example.org\r\n\r\n";
    client.write(request);
    uv_run(loop, UV_RUN_DEFAULT);
    return 0;
