=head1 DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_COMP_add_compression_method() adds the compression method B<cm> with
 | 
						|
the identifier B<id> to the list of available compression methods. This
 | 
						|
list is globally maintained for all SSL operations within this application.
 | 
						|
It cannot be set for specific SSL_CTX or SSL objects.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_COMP_get_compression_methods() returns a stack of all of the available
 | 
						|
compression methods or NULL on error.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_COMP_get0_name() returns the name of the compression method B<comp>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_COMP_get_id() returns the id of the compression method B<comp>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods() releases any resources acquired to
 | 
						|
maintain the internal table of compression methods.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 NOTES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The TLS standard (or SSLv3) allows the integration of compression methods
 | 
						|
into the communication. The TLS RFC 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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
An OpenSSL client speaking a protocol that allows compression (SSLv3, TLSv1)
 | 
						|
will unconditionally send the list of all compression methods enabled with
 | 
						|
SSL_COMP_add_compression_method() 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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If enabled during compilation, the OpenSSL library will have the
 | 
						|
COMP_zlib() compression method available.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_COMP_add_compression_method() may return the following values:
 | 
						|

=item Z<>0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The operation succeeded.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item Z<>1
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The operation failed. Check the error queue to find out the reason.

SSL_COMP_get_compression_methods() returns the stack of compressions methods or
 | 
						|
NULL on error.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_COMP_get0_name() returns the name of the compression method or NULL on error.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_COMP_get_id() returns the name of the compression method or -1 on error.

=head1 HISTORY
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods() was deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0;
 | 
						|
do not use it.
 | 
						|
SSL_COMP_get0_name() and SSL_comp_get_id() were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0d.
