.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBSSL_COMP_add_compression_method()\fR adds the compression method \fBcm\fR with
the identifier \fBid\fR to the list of available compression methods. This
list is globally maintained for all \s-1SSL\s0 operations within this application.
It cannot be set for specific \s-1SSL_CTX\s0 or \s-1SSL\s0 objects.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_COMP_get_compression_methods()\fR returns a stack of all of the available
compression methods or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_COMP_get0_name()\fR returns the name of the compression method \fBcomp\fR.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_COMP_get_id()\fR returns the id of the compression method \fBcomp\fR.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_COMP_free_compression_methods()\fR releases any resources acquired to
maintain the internal table of compression methods.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The \s-1TLS\s0 standard (or SSLv3) allows the integration of compression methods
into the communication. The \s-1TLS RFC\s0 does however not specify compression
methods or their corresponding identifiers, so there is currently no compatible
way to integrate compression with unknown peers. It is therefore currently not
recommended to integrate compression into applications. Applications for
non-public use may agree on certain compression methods. Using different
compression methods with the same identifier will lead to connection failure.
.PP
An OpenSSL client speaking a protocol that allows compression (SSLv3, TLSv1)
will unconditionally send the list of all compression methods enabled with
\&\fBSSL_COMP_add_compression_method()\fR to the server during the handshake.
Unlike the mechanisms to set a cipher list, there is no method available to
restrict the list of compression method on a per connection basis.
.PP
An OpenSSL server will match the identifiers listed by a client against
its own compression methods and will unconditionally activate compression
when a matching identifier is found. There is no way to restrict the list
of compression methods supported on a per connection basis.
.PP
If enabled during compilation, the OpenSSL library will have the
\&\fBCOMP_zlib()\fR compression method available.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBSSL_COMP_add_compression_method()\fR may return the following values:
.IP "0" 4
The operation succeeded.
.IP "1" 4
.IX Item "1"
The operation failed. Check the error queue to find out the reason.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_COMP_get_compression_methods()\fR returns the stack of compressions methods or
\&\s-1NULL\s0 on error.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_COMP_get0_name()\fR returns the name of the compression method or \s-1NULL\s0 on error.
.PP
\&\fBSSL_COMP_get_id()\fR returns the name of the compression method or \-1 on error.

.IX Header "HISTORY"
The \fBSSL_COMP_free_compression_methods()\fR function was deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
The \fBSSL_COMP_get0_name()\fR and \fBSSL_comp_get_id()\fR functions were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0d.
