NAME

gnutls_server_name_set - set a name indicator to be sent as an extension

SYNOPSIS

#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

int gnutls_server_name_set(gnutls_session_t session, gnutls_server_name_type_t type, const void * name, size_t name_length);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_session_t session: is a gnutls_session_t structure.
gnutls_server_name_type_t type: specifies the indicator type
const void * name: is a string that contains the server name.
size_t name_length: holds the length of name

DESCRIPTION

This function is to be used by clients that want to inform (via a TLS extension mechanism) the server of the name they connected to. This should be used by clients that connect to servers that do virtual hosting.

The value of name depends on the ind type. In case of GNUTLS_NAME_DNS, an ASCII or UTF-8 null terminated string, without the trailing dot, is expected. IPv4 or IPv6 addresses are not permitted.

RETURNS

On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (zero) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned.
