NAME
gnutls_record_set_max_empty_records - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/gnutls.h> gnutls_record_set_max_empty_records(3) session, const unsigned int i);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_session_t session is a gnutls_session_t structure. const unsigned int i is the desired value of maximum empty records that can be accepted in a row.
DESCRIPTION
Used to set the maximum number of empty fragments that can be accepted in a row. Accepting many empty fragments is useful for receiving length-hidden content, where empty fragments filled with pad are sent to hide the real length of a message. However, a malicious peer could send empty fragments to mount a DoS attack, so as a safety measure, a maximum number of empty fragments is accepted by default. If you know your application must accept a given number of empty fragments in a row, you can use this function to set the desired value.
