      1 The OpenSSL Guide Demos
      2 =======================
      3 
      4 The demos in this directory are the complete source code for the applications
      5 developed in the OpenSSL Guide tutorials. Refer to the various tutorial pages in
      6 the [guide] for an extensive discussion on the demos available here.
      7 
      8 They must be built before they can be run. An example UNIX style Makefile is
      9 supplied. Just type "make" from this directory on a Linux/UNIX system.
     10 
     11 Running the TLS Demos
     12 ---------------------
     13 
     14 To run the demos when linked with a shared library (default) ensure that
     15 libcrypto and libssl are on the library path. For example, assuming you have
     16 already built OpenSSL from this source and in the default location then to run
     17 the tls-client-block demo do this:
     18 
     19 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../.. ./tls-client-block hostname port
     20 
     21 In the above replace "hostname" and "port" with the hostname and the port number
     22 of the server you are connecting to.
     23 
     24 The above assumes that your default trusted certificate store containing trusted
     25 CA certificates has been properly setup and configured as described on the
     26 [TLS Introduction] page.
     27 
     28 You can run a test server to try out these demos using the "openssl s_server"
     29 command line utility and using the test server certificate and key provided in
     30 this directory. For example:
     31 
     32 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../.. ../../apps/openssl s_server -www -accept localhost:4443 -cert servercert.pem -key serverkey.pem
     33 
     34 The test server certificate in this directory will use a CA that will not be in
     35 your default trusted certificate store. The CA certificate to use is also
     36 available in this directory. To use it you can override the default trusted
     37 certificate store like this:
     38 
     39 SSL_CERT_FILE=rootcert.pem LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../.. ./tls-client-block localhost 4443
     40 
     41 If the above command is successful it will connect to the test "s_server" and
     42 send a simple HTTP request to it. The server will respond with a page of
     43 information giving details about the TLS connection that was used.
     44 
     45 Note that the test server certificate used here is only suitable for use on
     46 "localhost".
     47 
     48 The tls-client-non-block demo can be run in exactly the same way. Just replace
     49 "tls-client-block" in the above example commands with "tls-client-non-block".
     50 
     51 Running the QUIC Demos
     52 ----------------------
     53 
     54 The QUIC demos can be run in a very similar way to the TLS demos.
     55 
     56 While in the demos directory the QUIC server can be run like this:
     57 
     58 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../.. ./quic-server-block 4443 ./chain.pem ./pkey.pem
     59 
     60 The QUIC demos can then be run in the same was as the TLS demos. For example
     61 to run the quic-client-block demo:
     62 
     63 SSL_CERT_FILE=chain.pem LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../.. ./quic-client-block localhost 4443
     64 
     65 Notes on the quic-hq-interop demo
     66 ---------------------------------
     67 
     68 The quic-hq-interop demo is effectively the same as the quic-client-nonblock
     69 demo, but is specifically constructed to use the hq-interop alpn for the
     70 purposes of interacting with other demonstration containers found in the
     71 QUIC working group [interop runner](https://github.com/quic-interop/quic-interop-runner)
     72 It is run as follows:
     73 
     74 SSL_CERT_FILE=ca.pem LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../ ./quic-hq-interop host port file
     75 
     76 The demo will then do the following:
     77 
     78 1. Connect to the server at host/port
     79 2. Negotiates the hq-interop alpn
     80 3. Issues an HTTP 1.0 GET request of the form "GET /$FILE"
     81 3. Reads any response from the server and write it verbatim to stdout
     82 
     83 This demo can be used for any hq-interop negotiating server, but its use can
     84 most easily be seen in action in our quic interop container, buildable from
     85 ./test/quic_interop_openssl in this source tree.
