make-ssl-client-context

Arguments: &key method certificate key certificate-password method verify max-depth ca-file ca-directory ciphers crl-check crl-file prefer-server-cipher-order

This function was added by a patch (to versions 8.2 and 9.0) released in April, 2014. You must have updated (with sys:update-allegro or related technique) to use this function.

This function creates and returns an SSL context object (an instance of the class excl::ssl-context) suitable for use as the value of the context keyword argument to make-ssl-client-stream.

The context has values for all relevant arguments.

The value for the arguments certificate, key, ca-file, ca-directory, certificate-password, crl-file, and crl-check cannot be overridden when a context is provided. It is an error to supply a context and values for any of those arguments.

The keyword arguments are:
