Hi,
I have a question about opening a normal socket, then negotiating a TLS
layer in PHP (through another protocol, which is XMPP in my case, in plain
text at the beginning). I am currently using a socket created by
"socket_create ()". But there seems not to be any way of switching to TLS
negotiation with this, is there?
first off; great to see somebody else using XMPP with php :D (there's a
great xmpp lib for AS3 from ignite realitime that makes openfire) but no
nice ones for php yet as far as I know - was always one of those
projects I really wanted to do but couldn't justify without getting a
client to part fund :p
Then I see the stream_socket_client () which can then switch to TLS with
stream_socket_enable_crypto (). But this is only above PHP 5.1.0. Can anyone
confirm me this is the right solution, and also only solution? (I mean
"already made" one, I am not going to implement TLS myself! :p)
IMHO this is the best way; using sockets gives you far more control
which you'll be needing later.
you can also simply stream_socket_client("tls://whatever.com:6548", ....
see: http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/transports.inet.php for all available
transports
How would you do such a thing otherwise? And is it possible to use
stream_socket_enable_crypto () on the socket created by socket_create?
surely socket_create is the other way around (ie opens a server socket
not a client connection)? are you trying to create an XMPP server in php? :o
Thanks all.
