<h3><a name="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></h3>

<p>This extension provides a generic binding to <a
href="http://www.openssl.org/">OpenSSL</a>, utilizing the
<strong>Tcl_StackChannel</strong>
API for Tcl 8.4 and higher. The sockets behave exactly the same
as channels created using Tcl's built-in <strong>socket</strong>
command with additional options for controlling the SSL session.
<p>This extension provides TCL script access to secure socket communications
using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. It provides a generic
binding to <a href="http://www.openssl.org/">OpenSSL</a>, utilizing the
<strong>Tcl_StackChannel</strong> API in Tcl 8.4 and higher.
These sockets behave exactly the same as channels created using the built-in
<strong>socket</strong> command, along with additional options for controlling
the SSL session.

<p>Typically one would use the <strong>tls::socket </strong>command
which provides compatibility with the native Tcl <strong>socket</strong>
command. In such cases <strong>tls::import</strong> should not be

Example #1: Use HTTP package

<p>This example uses the default Unix platform SSL certificates. For standard
installations, -cadir and -cafile should not be needed. Update -cadir or
replace with -cafile if your platform differs.</p>
Example:

<pre><code>
package require http
package require tls
set url "https://www.tcl.tk/"

http::register https 443 [list ::tls::socket -autoservername true -require true -cadir /etc/ssl/certs \
    -command ::tls::callback -password ::tls::password -validatecommand ::tls::validate_command]

# Check for error
set token [http::geturl "https://www.tcl-lang.org/"]
set token [http::geturl $url]
if {[http::status $token] ne "ok"} {
    puts [format "Error %s" [http::status $token]]
}

# Get web page
set data [http::data $token]
puts [string length $data]

# Cleanup
::http::cleanup $token
</code></pre>

Example #2:
Example #2: Use raw socket
<pre><code>
package require tls

set url "www.tcl-lang.org"
set port 443

set ch [tls::socket -autoservername 1 -servername $url -request 1 -require 1 \
    -alpn {http/1.1 h2} -cadir /etc/ssl/certs -command ::tls::callback \
    -alpn {http/1.1} -cadir /etc/ssl/certs -command ::tls::callback \
    -password ::tls::password -validatecommand ::tls::validate_command $url $port]
chan configure $ch -buffersize 65536
tls::handshake $ch

puts $ch "GET / HTTP/1.1"
flush $ch
after 500
