Tobias Frauenschläger 1093a36bc3 Fix flaky tcp bind on Windows test runs
Windows test code pre-picked a random port via GetRandomPort() (returning
a value in [49152, 65535]) before calling bind(), with no check that the
port was free and no retry on collision. Under load this occasionally
collided with an already-bound port and aborted the test with
"tcp bind failed", producing intermittent Jenkins failures (e.g. PRB
windows-test-v2 #17140 in the OCSP responder test).

The Unix path already does the right thing: bind to port 0 (OS-assigned
ephemeral) and read the port back via getsockname(). The same primitives
exist in Winsock 1.1, so drop the USE_WINDOWS_API guard around the
getsockname block in tcp_listen()/udp_accept() and remove the per-caller
GetRandomPort() workarounds in the OCSP responder, server example, and
the api.c / test_ossl_bio.c test sites. socklen_t is already typedef'd
as int on Windows in test.h.

GetRandomPort() itself is left in place since it is a static inline in a
shipped public test header.

wolfSSL examples directory

client and server

These directories contain a client (client.c) and server (server.c) that utilize a variety of the wolfSSL library's capabilities. The manner in which both programs operate can depend on the configure or can be specified at run-time depending on the end goal. Both applications contain testing as well as benchmarking code.

Compile

./configure
make

Usage

./examples/server/server

./examples/client/client

Run ./examples/server/server -h and ./examples/client/client -h for usage details.

echoclient and echoserver

These directories contain a client (echoclient.c) and server (echoserver.c) that establish a connection encrypted by wolfSSL. Like the names indicate, once the connection has been established any messages entered into echoclient are sent to and displayed on the echoserver and are then echoed back to echoclient. The nature of the encryption, as well as additional behavior of the two programs, depends on how wolfSSL was configured ( DTLS enabled/disabled, Filesystem enabled/disabled, etc ... ).

Compile

./configure
make

Usage

./examples/echoserver/echoserver

./examples/echoclient/echoclient

benchmark

The benchmark directory offers an application that can help you grasp just how well wolfSSL's TLS functionality is performing on your local machine.

Compile

./configure
make

Usage

./examples/benchmark/tls_bench

The tls_bench executable can also be compiled separately with gcc -lwolfssl -lpthread -o tls_bench tls_bench.c.

Run ./examples/benchmark/tls_bench -? for usage details.

sctp

This directory contains servers and clients that demonstrate wolfSSL's DTLS-SCTP support.

Compile

./configure --enable-sctp
make

Usage

./examples/sctp/sctp-server

./examples/sctp/sctp-client

and

./examples/sctp/sctp-server-dtls

./examples/sctp/sctp-client-dtls

configs

This directory contains example wolfSSL configuration file templates for use when autoconf is not available, such as building with a custom IDE.

See configs/README.md for more details.

asn1

This directory contains an example that prints the ASN.1 data of a BER/DER or PEM encoded file. Configure wolfSSL with --enable-asn-print.

pem

This directory contains an example of converting to/from PEM and DER. Configure wolfSSL with --enable-coding
