Network.HTTP.Client.OpenSSL

Support for making connections via the OpenSSL library.

Documentation

opensslManagerSettings :: IO SSLContext -> ManagerSettings

Note that it is the caller's responsibility to pass in an appropriate context. Future versions of http-client-openssl will hopefully include a sane, safe default.

withOpenSSL :: IO a -> IO a

Computation of withOpenSSL action initializes the OpenSSL library as necessary, and computes action. Every application that uses HsOpenSSL must wrap any operations involving OpenSSL with withOpenSSL, or they might crash:

module Main where
import OpenSSL

main :: IO ()
main = withOpenSSL $
       do ...

Since 0.10.3.5, withOpenSSL is safe to be applied redundantly. Library authors may wish to wrap their functions not to force their users to think about initialization:

get :: URI -> IO Response
get uri = withOpenSSL $ internalImplementationOfGet uri
