SSL Socket in C cannot connect to some sites

QUESTION

SSL Socket in C cannot connect to some sites

Asked 2017-Jun-28 at 11:06

I am having a partial failure with my code in that I can establish non-secure connections to places such as www.hp.com and www.google.com, but when adding SSL to the socket I can no longer connect to www.google.com even though I can still connect to www.hp.com

In response to this I did a fair bit of research and came up with mixed answers. I tried testing different sites, and the results were spotty. So I feel like I am missing a crucial portion of the SSL handshake here that is not readily apparent (at least to me).

strncpy(si.Host, "www.google.com", 10); 10 is too short; just use strcpy() here.

[also a strong advice: never use strncpy() , at least until you know what it does ...]

why is strncpy() considered evil? Mostly because it is confusing, at least for novice users. How?

using strncpy(dst, src, siz);:

If there is sufficient space in the destination buffer (strlen(src) < siz) , the restof the buffer will befilled with nullbytes
if there is not enough space (strlen(src) >= siz) , no more than sizbytes will be written to*dst, but the copied string wil not be nul-terminated.

The first case is not that important, a few cycles are wasted for writing the extra nulls. The second case can be disastrous if you expect the resulting string to be null-terminated. (most people do) This is why strncpy() raises red flags.

How to avoid strncpy() ? There are a few ways. one of the simplest:
