All Implemented Interfaces:

Handler

public class BasicSSLHandler
extends Object
implements Handler

Start an "ssl" server. This requires jdk1.4+.

sslport

The port to start the server on. If no port is specified, Then the existing server port is reused. Note: Do not use a prefix when specifying this property, it is precicely "sslport".

enable

Must be set to "true" to turn on ssl server.

store

The path name to the certificate keystore.

password

The certificate store password. If the password starts with "@", the rest of the password is taken to be the name of the file containing the password. "@-" causes the password to be read from stdin.

auth

Require a valid client certificate (not useful).

Keystores are created with:

keytool -genkey -keystore [store_name] -keyalg RSA

Method Detail

init

public boolean init(Server server,
                    String prefix)

Description copied from interface: Handler

Initializes the handler.

Specified by:

init in interface Handler

Parameters:

server - The HTTP server that created this Handler. Typical Handlers will use Server.props to obtain run-time configuration information.

prefix - The handlers name. The string this Handler may prepend to all of the keys that it uses to extract configuration information from Server.props. This is set (by the Server and ChainHandler) to help avoid configuration parameter namespace collisions.

Returns:

true if this Handler initialized successfully, false otherwise. If false is returned, this Handler should not be used.

respond

public boolean respond(Request request)
                throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Handler

Responds to an HTTP request.

Specified by:

respond in interface Handler

Parameters:

request - The Request object that represents the HTTP request.

Returns:

true if the request was handled. A request was handled if a response was supplied to the client, typically by calling Request.sendResponse() or Request.sendError.

Throws:

IOException - if there was an I/O error while sending the response to the client. Typically, in that case, the Server will (try to) send an error message to the client and then close the client's connection.

The IOException should not be used to silently ignore problems such as being unable to access some server-side resource (for example getting a FileNotFoundException due to not being able to open a file). In that case, the Handler's duty is to turn that IOException into a HTTP response indicating, in this case, that a file could not be found.
