[PATCH] send-email: improve SSL certificate verification

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The SSL and TLS code for SMTP is non-trivial, so refactor it into a separate
function for ease of use.  Handle both files and directories as sources for CA
certificates.  Also add handling for older version of IO::Socket::SSL that do
not support the SSL_VERIFY_PEER and SSL_VERIFY_NONE constants; in this case,
print a warning and inform the user of this fact.

This is completely untested.  I used perl -c, but that's it.
