<!-- $$$QSslSocket-description -->
<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QSslSocket class provides an SSL encrypted socket for both clients and servers.</p>
<p>QSslSocket establishes a secure, encrypted TCP connection you can use for transmitting encrypted data. It can operate in both client and server mode, and it supports modern SSL protocols, including SSLv3 and TLSv1. By default, QSslSocket uses TLSv1, but you can change the SSL protocol by calling <a href="qsslsocket.html#setProtocol">setProtocol</a>() as long as you do it before the handshake has started.</p>
<p>SSL encryption operates on top of the existing TCP stream after the socket enters the <a href="qabstractsocket.html#SocketState-enum">ConnectedState</a>. There are two simple ways to establish a secure connection using QSslSocket: With an immediate SSL handshake, or with a delayed SSL handshake occurring after the connection has been established in unencrypted mode.</p>
<p>The most common way to use QSslSocket is to construct an object and start a secure connection by calling <a href="qsslsocket.html#connectToHostEncrypted">connectToHostEncrypted</a>(). This method starts an immediate SSL handshake once the connection has been established.</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type">QSslSocket</span> <span class="operator">*</span>socket <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type">QSslSocket</span>(<span class="keyword">this</span>);
 <a href="qobject.html#connect">connect</a>(socket<span class="operator">,</span> SIGNAL(encrypted())<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">this</span><span class="operator">,</span> SLOT(ready()));

 socket<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span><a href="qsslsocket.html#connectToHostEncrypted">connectToHostEncrypted</a>(<span class="string">&quot;imap.example.com&quot;</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">993</span>);</pre>
<p>As with a plain <a href="qtcpsocket.html">QTcpSocket</a>, QSslSocket enters the <a href="qabstractsocket.html#SocketState-enum">HostLookupState</a>, <a href="qabstractsocket.html#SocketState-enum">ConnectingState</a>, and finally the <a href="qabstractsocket.html#SocketState-enum">ConnectedState</a>, if the connection is successful. The handshake then starts automatically, and if it succeeds, the <a href="qsslsocket.html#encrypted">encrypted</a>() signal is emitted to indicate the socket has entered the encrypted state and is ready for use.</p>
<p>Note that data can be written to the socket immediately after the return from <a href="qsslsocket.html#connectToHostEncrypted">connectToHostEncrypted</a>() (i.e&#x2e;, before the <a href="qsslsocket.html#encrypted">encrypted</a>() signal is emitted). The data is queued in QSslSocket until after the <a href="qsslsocket.html#encrypted">encrypted</a>() signal is emitted.</p>
<p>An example of using the delayed SSL handshake to secure an existing connection is the case where an SSL server secures an incoming connection. Suppose you create an SSL server class as a subclass of <a href="qtcpserver.html">QTcpServer</a>. You would override <a href="qtcpserver.html#incomingConnection">QTcpServer::incomingConnection</a>() with something like the example below, which first constructs an instance of QSslSocket and then calls <a href="qsslsocket.html#setSocketDescriptor">setSocketDescriptor</a>() to set the new socket's descriptor to the existing one passed in. It then initiates the SSL handshake by calling <a href="qsslsocket.html#startServerEncryption">startServerEncryption</a>().</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type">void</span> SslServer<span class="operator">::</span>incomingConnection(<span class="type">int</span> socketDescriptor)
 {
     <span class="type">QSslSocket</span> <span class="operator">*</span>serverSocket <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type">QSslSocket</span>;
     <span class="keyword">if</span> (serverSocket<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>setSocketDescriptor(socketDescriptor)) {
         connect(serverSocket<span class="operator">,</span> SIGNAL(encrypted())<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">this</span><span class="operator">,</span> SLOT(ready()));
         serverSocket<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">&gt;</span>startServerEncryption();
     } <span class="keyword">else</span> {
         <span class="keyword">delete</span> serverSocket;
     }
 }</pre>
<p>If an error occurs, QSslSocket emits the <a href="qsslsocket.html#sslErrors">sslErrors</a>() signal. In this case, if no action is taken to ignore the error(s), the connection is dropped. To continue, despite the occurrence of an error, you can call <a href="qsslsocket.html#ignoreSslErrors">ignoreSslErrors</a>(), either from within this slot after the error occurs, or any time after construction of the QSslSocket and before the connection is attempted. This will allow QSslSocket to ignore the errors it encounters when establishing the identity of the peer. Ignoring errors during an SSL handshake should be used with caution, since a fundamental characteristic of secure connections is that they should be established with a successful handshake.</p>
<p>Once encrypted, you use QSslSocket as a regular <a href="qtcpsocket.html">QTcpSocket</a>. When <a href="qiodevice.html#readyRead">readyRead</a>() is emitted, you can call <a href="qiodevice.html#read">read</a>(), <a href="qsslsocket.html#canReadLine">canReadLine</a>() and <a href="qiodevice.html#readLine">readLine</a>(), or <a href="qiodevice.html#getChar">getChar</a>() to read decrypted data from QSslSocket's internal buffer, and you can call <a href="qiodevice.html#write">write</a>() or <a href="qiodevice.html#putChar">putChar</a>() to write data back to the peer. QSslSocket will automatically encrypt the written data for you, and emit <a href="qsslsocket.html#encryptedBytesWritten">encryptedBytesWritten</a>() once the data has been written to the peer.</p>
<p>As a convenience, QSslSocket supports <a href="qtcpsocket.html">QTcpSocket</a>'s blocking functions <a href="qsslsocket.html#waitForConnected">waitForConnected</a>(), <a href="qsslsocket.html#waitForReadyRead">waitForReadyRead</a>(), <a href="qsslsocket.html#waitForBytesWritten">waitForBytesWritten</a>(), and <a href="qsslsocket.html#waitForDisconnected">waitForDisconnected</a>(). It also provides <a href="qsslsocket.html#waitForEncrypted">waitForEncrypted</a>(), which will block the calling thread until an encrypted connection has been established.</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type">QSslSocket</span> socket;
 socket<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qsslsocket.html#connectToHostEncrypted">connectToHostEncrypted</a>(<span class="string">&quot;http.example.com&quot;</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">443</span>);
 <span class="keyword">if</span> (<span class="operator">!</span>socket<span class="operator">.</span>waitForEncrypted()) {
     <a href="qtglobal.html#qDebug">qDebug</a>() <span class="operator">&lt;</span><span class="operator">&lt;</span> socket<span class="operator">.</span>errorString();
     <span class="keyword">return</span> <span class="keyword">false</span>;
 }

 socket<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qiodevice.html#write">write</a>(<span class="string">&quot;GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n&quot;</span>);

<p>QSslSocket provides an extensive, easy-to-use API for handling cryptographic ciphers, private keys, and local, peer, and Certification Authority (CA) certificates. It also provides an API for handling errors that occur during the handshake phase.</p>
<p>The following features can also be customized:</p>
<ul>
<li>The socket's cryptographic cipher suite can be customized before the handshake phase with <a href="qsslsocket.html#setCiphers">setCiphers</a>() and <a href="qsslsocket.html#setDefaultCiphers">setDefaultCiphers</a>().</li>
<li>The socket's local certificate and private key can be customized before the handshake phase with <a href="qsslsocket.html#setLocalCertificate">setLocalCertificate</a>() and <a href="qsslsocket.html#setPrivateKey">setPrivateKey</a>().</li>
<li>The CA certificate database can be extended and customized with <a href="qsslsocket.html#addCaCertificate">addCaCertificate</a>(), <a href="qsslsocket.html#addCaCertificates">addCaCertificates</a>(), <a href="qsslsocket.html#setCaCertificates">setCaCertificates</a>(), <a href="qsslsocket.html#addDefaultCaCertificate">addDefaultCaCertificate</a>(), <a href="qsslsocket.html#addDefaultCaCertificates">addDefaultCaCertificates</a>(), and <a href="qsslsocket.html#setDefaultCaCertificates">setDefaultCaCertificates</a>().</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Note:</b> If available, root certificates on Unix (excluding Mac OS X) will be loaded on demand from the standard certificate directories. If you do not want to load root certificates on demand, you need to call either the static function <a href="qsslsocket.html#setDefaultCaCertificates">setDefaultCaCertificates</a>() before the first SSL handshake is made in your application, (e.g&#x2e; via &quot;QSslSocket::setDefaultCaCertificates(<a href="qsslsocket.html#systemCaCertificates">QSslSocket::systemCaCertificates</a>());&quot;), or call <a href="qsslsocket.html#setCaCertificates">setCaCertificates</a>() on your QSslSocket instance prior to the SSL handshake.</p>
<p>For more information about ciphers and certificates, refer to <a href="qsslcipher.html">QSslCipher</a> and <a href="qsslcertificate.html">QSslCertificate</a>.</p>
<p>This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (<a href="http://www.openssl.org/">http://www.openssl.org/</a>).</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> Be aware of the difference between the <a href="qiodevice.html#bytesWritten">bytesWritten</a>() signal and the <a href="qsslsocket.html#encryptedBytesWritten">encryptedBytesWritten</a>() signal. For a <a href="qtcpsocket.html">QTcpSocket</a>, <a href="qiodevice.html#bytesWritten">bytesWritten</a>() will get emitted as soon as data has been written to the TCP socket. For a QSslSocket, <a href="qiodevice.html#bytesWritten">bytesWritten</a>() will get emitted when the data is being encrypted and <a href="qsslsocket.html#encryptedBytesWritten">encryptedBytesWritten</a>() will get emitted as soon as data has been written to the TCP socket.</p>

<p>Returns a list of the last SSL errors that occurred. This is the same list as <a href="qsslsocket.html">QSslSocket</a> passes via the sslErrors() signal. If the connection has been encrypted with no errors, this function will return an empty list.</p>

<p><a href="qsslsocket.html">QSslSocket</a> emits this signal after the SSL handshake to indicate that one or more errors have occurred while establishing the identity of the peer. The errors are usually an indication that <a href="qsslsocket.html">QSslSocket</a> is unable to securely identify the peer. Unless any action is taken, the connection will be dropped after this signal has been emitted.</p>
<p>If you want to continue connecting despite the errors that have occurred, you must call <a href="qsslsocket.html#ignoreSslErrors">QSslSocket::ignoreSslErrors</a>() from inside a slot connected to this signal. If you need to access the error list at a later point, you can call <a href="qsslsocket.html#sslErrors">sslErrors</a>() (without arguments).</p>
<p><i>errors</i> contains one or more errors that prevent <a href="qsslsocket.html">QSslSocket</a> from verifying the identity of the peer.</p>
<p>Note: You cannot use <a href="qt.html#ConnectionType-enum">Qt::QueuedConnection</a> when connecting to this signal, or calling <a href="qsslsocket.html#ignoreSslErrors">QSslSocket::ignoreSslErrors</a>() will have no effect.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="startClientEncryption"></a><span class="type">void</span> QSslSocket::<span class="name">startClientEncryption</span> ()<tt> [slot]</tt></h3>
<p>Starts a delayed SSL handshake for a client connection. This function can be called when the socket is in the <a href="qabstractsocket.html#SocketState-enum">ConnectedState</a> but still in the <a href="qsslsocket.html#SslMode-enum">UnencryptedMode</a>. If it is not yet connected, or if it is already encrypted, this function has no effect.</p>
<p>Clients that implement STARTTLS functionality often make use of delayed SSL handshakes. Most other clients can avoid calling this function directly by using <a href="qsslsocket.html#connectToHostEncrypted">connectToHostEncrypted</a>() instead, which automatically performs the handshake.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="startServerEncryption"></a><span class="type">void</span> QSslSocket::<span class="name">startServerEncryption</span> ()<tt> [slot]</tt></h3>
<p>Starts a delayed SSL handshake for a server connection. This function can be called when the socket is in the <a href="qabstractsocket.html#SocketState-enum">ConnectedState</a> but still in <a href="qsslsocket.html#SslMode-enum">UnencryptedMode</a>. If it is not connected or it is already encrypted, the function has no effect.</p>
<p>For server sockets, calling this function is the only way to initiate the SSL handshake. Most servers will call this function immediately upon receiving a connection, or as a result of having received a protocol-specific command to enter SSL mode (e.g, the server may respond to receiving the string &quot;STARTTLS\r\n&quot; by calling this function).</p>
<p>The most common way to implement an SSL server is to create a subclass of <a href="qtcpserver.html">QTcpServer</a> and reimplement <a href="qtcpserver.html#incomingConnection">QTcpServer::incomingConnection</a>(). The returned socket descriptor is then passed to <a href="qsslsocket.html#setSocketDescriptor">QSslSocket::setSocketDescriptor</a>().</p>
