Moving the first draft at that out of stem.connection, which it didn't really belong in anyway.

[tor/master] Detect renegotiation when it actually happens.

commit 4fd79f9def28996552b5739792f428c2514de1f6 Author: George Kadianakis <desnacked(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed Oct 26 03:09:22 2011 +0200 Detect renegotiation when it actually happens. The renegotiation callback was called only when the first Application Data arrived, instead of when the renegotiation took place. This happened because SSL_read() returns -1 and sets the error to SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ when a renegotiation happens instead of reading data [0]. … [View More]

[tor/master] Refactor the SSL_set_info_callback() callbacks.

commit 69a821ea1c9357acdd5aa1c9e23fd030b01cb5a9 Author: George Kadianakis <desnacked(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed Oct 26 02:05:45 2011 +0200 Refactor the SSL_set_info_callback() callbacks. Introduce tor_tls_state_changed_callback(), which handles every SSL state change. The new function tor_tls_got_server_hello() is called every time we send a ServerHello during a v2 handshake, and plays the role of the previous tor_tls_server_info_callback() function. --- … [View More]src/common/tortls.c | 97 +++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------- 1 files changed, 44 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/common/tortls.c b/src/common/tortls.c index 9a3c02b..6757cfa 100644 --- a/src/common/tortls.c +++ b/src/common/tortls.c @@ -1280,55 +1280,29 @@ tor_tls_client_is_using_v2_ciphers(const SSL *ssl, const char *address) return 1; } +/** We sent the ServerHello part of an SSL handshake.
