;;; Commentary:

;; This package provides language bindings for the GnuTLS library
;; using the corresponding core functions in gnutls.c.  It should NOT
;; be used directly, only through open-protocol-stream.

;; Simple test:
;;
;; (open-gnutls-stream "tls" "tls-buffer" "yourserver.com" "https")
;; (open-gnutls-stream "tls" "tls-buffer" "imap.gmail.com" "imaps")

;;; Code:

(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))

(defgroup gnutls nil
  "Emacs interface to the GnuTLS library."
  :prefix "gnutls-"
  :group 'net-utils)

(defcustom gnutls-log-level 0
  "Logging level to be used by `starttls-negotiate' and GnuTLS."
  :type 'integer
  :group 'gnutls)

(defun open-gnutls-stream (name buffer host service)
  "Open a SSL/TLS connection for a service to a host.
Returns a subprocess-object to represent the connection.
Input and output work as for subprocesses; `delete-process' closes it.
Args are NAME BUFFER HOST SERVICE.
NAME is name for process.  It is modified if necessary to make it unique.
BUFFER is the buffer (or `buffer-name') to associate with the process.
 Process output goes at end of that buffer, unless you specify
 an output stream or filter function to handle the output.
 BUFFER may be also nil, meaning that this process is not associated
 with any buffer
Third arg is name of the host to connect to, or its IP address.
Fourth arg SERVICE is name of the service desired, or an integer
specifying a port number to connect to.

Usage example:

  \(with-temp-buffer
    \(open-gnutls-stream \"tls\"
                        \(current-buffer)
                        \"your server goes here\"
                        \"imaps\"))

This is a very simple wrapper around `gnutls-negotiate'.  See its
documentation for the specific parameters you can use to open a
GnuTLS connection, including specifying the credential type,
trust and key files, and priority string."
  (gnutls-negotiate :process (open-network-stream name buffer host service)
                    :type 'gnutls-x509pki
                    :hostname host))

Note arguments are passed CL style, :type TYPE instead of just TYPE.

TYPE is `gnutls-x509pki' (default) or `gnutls-anon'.  Use nil for the default.
PROCESS is a process returned by `open-network-stream'.
HOSTNAME is the remote hostname.  It must be a valid string.
PRIORITY-STRING is as per the GnuTLS docs, default is \"NORMAL\".
TRUSTFILES is a list of CA bundles.
CRLFILES is a list of CRL files.
KEYLIST is an alist of (client key file, client cert file) pairs.

When VERIFY-HOSTNAME-ERROR is not nil, an error will be raised
when the hostname does not match the presented certificate's host
name.  The exact verification algorithm is a basic implementation
of the matching described in RFC2818 (HTTPS), which takes into
account wildcards, and the DNSName/IPAddress subject alternative
name PKIX extension.  See GnuTLS' gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname
for details.  When VERIFY-HOSTNAME-ERROR is nil, only a warning
will be issued.

When VERIFY-ERROR is not nil, an error will be raised when the
peer certificate verification fails as per GnuTLS'
gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2.  Otherwise, only warnings will
be shown about the verification failure.

VERIFY-FLAGS is a numeric OR of verification flags only for
`gnutls-x509pki' connections.  See GnuTLS' x509.h for details;
here's a recent version of the list.
