NAME¶
gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length - API function
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
void gnutls_handshake_set_max_packet_length(gnutls_session_t
session, size_t max);
ARGUMENTS¶
- gnutls_session_t session
- is a gnutls_session_t structure.
- size_t max
- is the maximum number.
DESCRIPTION¶
This function will set the maximum size of all handshake messages. Handshakes
over this size are rejected with
GNUTLS_E_HANDSHAKE_TOO_LARGE error
code. The default value is 48kb which is typically large enough. Set this to 0
if you do not want to set an upper limit.
The reason for restricting the handshake message sizes are to limit Denial of
Service attacks.
