.\" The -*- nroff -*- definitions below are for supplemental macros used
.\" in Tcl/Tk manual entries.
.\"
.\" .AP type name in/out ?indent?
.\"	Start paragraph describing an argument to a library procedure.
.\"	type is type of argument (int, etc.), in/out is either "in", "out",
.\"	or "in/out" to describe whether procedure reads or modifies arg,
.\"	and indent is equivalent to second arg of .IP (shouldn't ever be
.\"	needed;  use .AS below instead)
.\"
.\" .AS ?type? ?name?
.\"	Give maximum sizes of arguments for setting tab stops.  Type and
.\"	name are examples of largest possible arguments that will be passed
.\"	to .AP later.  If args are omitted, default tab stops are used.
.\"
.\" .BS
.\"	Start box enclosure.  From here until next .BE, everything will be

.SH DESCRIPTION
This package provides access to Amazon's Simple Storage Solution web service\&.
.PP
As a quick summary, Amazon Simple Storage Solution
provides a for-fee web service allowing the storage of arbitrary data as
"resources" within "buckets" online\&.
See \fIhttp://www\&.amazonaws\&.com/\fR for details on that system\&.
Access to the service is via HTTP (SOAP or REST)\&.  Much of this
documentation will not make sense if you're not familiar with
the terms and functionality of the Amazon S3 service\&.
.PP
This package provides services for reading and writing
the data items via the REST interface\&.  It also provides some
higher-level operations\&.  Other packages in the same distribution
provide for even more functionality\&.
.PP
Copyright 2006 Darren New\&. All Rights Reserved\&.
NO WARRANTIES OF ANY TYPE ARE PROVIDED\&.
COPYING OR USE INDEMNIFIES THE AUTHOR IN ALL WAYS\&.
This software is licensed under essentially the same
terms as Tcl\&. See LICENSE\&.txt for the terms\&.
.SH "ERROR REPORTING"
The error reporting from this package makes use of $errorCode to
provide more details on what happened than simply throwing an error\&.
Any error caught by the S3 package (and we try to catch them all)
will return with an $errorCode being a list having at least three
elements\&. In all cases, the first element will be "S3"\&. The second
element will take on one of six values, with that element defining
the value of the third and subsequent elements\&. S3::REST does not
throw an error, but rather returns a dictionary with the keys "error",
"errorInfo", and "errorCode" set\&. This allows for reliable background
use\&. The possible second elements are these:
.TP
usage
The usage of the package is incorrect\&. For example,
a command has been invoked which requires the library to be configured
before the library has been configured, or an invalid combination of
options has been specified\&. The third element of $errorCode supplies
the name of the parameter that was wrong\&. The fourth usually provides
the arguments that were actually supplied to the throwing proc, unless
the usage error isn't confined to a single proc\&.
.TP
local
Something happened on the local system which threw
an error\&. For example, a request to upload or download a file was made
and the file permissions denied that sort of access\&. The third element
of $errorCode is the original $errorCode\&.
.TP
socket
Something happened with the socket\&. It closed
prematurely, or some other condition of failure-to-communicate-with-Amazon
was detected\&. The third element of $errorCode is the original $errorCode,
or sometimes the message from fcopy, or \&.\&.\&.?
.TP
remote
The Amazon web service returned an error code outside
the 2xx range in the HTTP header\&. In other words, everything went as
documented, except this particular case was documented not to work\&.
The third element is the dictionary returned from \fB::S3::REST\fR\&.
Note that S3::REST itself never throws this error, but just returns
the dictionary\&. Most of the higher-level commands throw for convenience,
unless an argument indicates they should not\&. If something is documented
as "not throwing an S3 remote error", it means a status return is set
rather than throwing an error if Amazon returns a non-2XX HTTP result code\&.
.TP
notyet
The user obeyed the documentation, but the author
has not yet gotten around to implementing this feature\&. (Right now,
only TLS support and sophisticated permissions fall into this category,
as well as the S3::Acl command\&.)
.TP
xml
The service has returned invalid XML, or XML whose
schema is unexpected\&. For the high-level commands that accept
service XML as input for parsing, this may also be thrown\&.
.PP
.SH COMMANDS
This package provides several separate levels of complexity\&.
.IP \(bu
The lowest level simply takes arguments to be sent to the service,
sends them, retrieves the result, and provides it to the caller\&.
\fINote:\fR This layer allows both synchronous and event-driven
processing\&. It depends on the MD5 and SHA1 and base64 packages
from Tcllib (available at \fIhttp://core\&.tcl\&.tk/tcllib/\fR)\&.
Note that \fBS3::Configure\fR is required for \fBS3::REST\fR to
work due to the authentication portion, so we put that in the "lowest level\&."
.IP \(bu
The next layer parses the results of calls, allowing for functionality
such as uploading only changed files, synchronizing directories,
and so on\&.  This layer depends on the \fBTclXML\fR package as well as the
included \fBxsxp\fR package\&. These packages are package required when
these more-sophisticated routines are called, so nothing breaks if
they are not correctly installed\&.
.IP \(bu
Also included is a separate program that uses the library\&.
It provides code to parse $argv0 and $argv from the
command line, allowing invocation as a tclkit, etc\&.
(Not yet implmented\&.)
.IP \(bu
Another separate program provides a GUI interface allowing drag-and-drop
and other such functionality\&. (Not yet implemented\&.)
.IP \(bu
Also built on this package is the OddJob program\&. It is
a separate program designed to allow distribution of
computational work units over Amazon's Elastic Compute
Cloud web service\&.
.PP
.PP
The goal is to have at least the bottom-most layers implemented in
pure Tcl using only that which comes from widely-available sources,
such as Tcllib\&.
.SH "LOW LEVEL COMMANDS"
These commands do not require any packages not listed above\&.
They talk directly to the service, or they are utility or
configuration routines\&. Note that the "xsxp" package was
written to support this package, so it should be available
wherever you got this package\&.
.TP
\fBS3::Configure\fR ?\fB-reset\fR \fIboolean\fR? ?\fB-retries\fR \fIinteger\fR? ?\fB-accesskeyid\fR \fIidstring\fR? ?\fB-secretaccesskey\fR \fIidstring\fR? ?\fB-service-access-point\fR \fIFQDN\fR? ?\fB-use-tls\fR \fIboolean\fR? ?\fB-default-compare\fR \fIalways|never|exists|missing|newer|date|checksum|different\fR? ?\fB-default-separator\fR \fIstring\fR? ?\fB-default-acl\fR \fIprivate|public-read|public-read-write|authenticated-read|keep|calc\fR? ?\fB-default-bucket\fR \fIbucketname\fR?
There is one command for configuration, and that is \fBS3::Configure\fR\&.
If called with no arguments, it returns a
dictionary of key/value pairs listing all current settings\&.  If called
with one argument, it returns the value of that single argument\&.  If
called with two or more arguments, it must be called with pairs of
arguments, and it applies the changes in order\&.  There is only one set
of configuration information per interpreter\&.
.sp
The following options are accepted:
.RS
.TP
\fB-reset\fR \fIboolean\fR
By default, false\&.  If true, any previous changes and any changes on the
same call before the reset option will be returned to default values\&.
.TP
\fB-retries\fR \fIinteger\fR
Default value is 3\&.
If Amazon returns a 500 error, a retry after an exponential
backoff delay will be tried this many times before finally
throwing the 500 error\&. This applies to each call to \fBS3::REST\fR
from the higher-level commands, but not to \fBS3::REST\fR itself\&.
That is, \fBS3::REST\fR will always return httpstatus 500 if that's
what it receives\&. Functions like \fBS3::Put\fR will retry the PUT call,
and will also retry the GET and HEAD calls used to do content comparison\&.
Changing this to 0 will prevent retries and their associated delays\&.
In addition, socket errors (i\&.e\&., errors whose errorCode starts with
"S3 socket") will be similarly retried after backoffs\&.
.TP
\fB-accesskeyid\fR \fIidstring\fR
.TP
\fB-secretaccesskey\fR \fIidstring\fR
Each defaults to an empty string\&.
These must be set before any calls are made\&. This is your S3 ID\&.
Once you sign up for an account, go to \fIhttp://www\&.amazonaws\&.com/\fR,
sign in, go to the "Your Web Services Account" button, pick "AWS
Access Identifiers", and your access key ID and secret access keys
will be available\&. All \fBS3::REST\fR calls are authenticated\&.
Blame Amazon for the poor choice of names\&.
.TP
\fB-service-access-point\fR \fIFQDN\fR
Defaults to "s3\&.amazonaws\&.com"\&. This is the fully-qualified domain
name of the server to contact for \fBS3::REST\fR calls\&. You should
probably never need to touch this, unless someone else implements
a compatible service, or you wish to test something by pointing
the library at your own service\&.
.TP
\fB-slop-seconds\fR \fIinteger\fR
When comparing dates between Amazon and the local machine,
two dates within this many seconds of each other are considered
the same\&. Useful for clock drift correction, processing overhead
time, and so on\&.
.TP
\fB-use-tls\fR \fIboolean\fR
Defaults to false\&. This is not yet implemented\&. If true, \fBS3::REST\fR will
negotiate a TLS connection to Amazon\&. If false, unencrypted connections
are used\&.
.TP
\fB-bucket-prefix\fR \fIstring\fR
Defaults to "TclS3"\&.  This string is used by \fBS3::SuggestBucketName\fR
if that command is passed an empty string as an argument\&. It is used
to distinguish different applications using the Amazon service\&.
Your application should always set this to keep from interfering with
the buckets of other users of Amazon S3 or with other buckets of the
same user\&.
.TP
\fB-default-compare\fR \fIalways|never|exists|missing|newer|date|checksum|different\fR
Defaults to "always\&." If no -compare is specified on
\fBS3::Put\fR, \fBS3::Get\fR, or \fBS3::Delete\fR, this comparison is used\&.
See those commands for a description of the meaning\&.
.TP
\fB-default-separator\fR \fIstring\fR
Defaults to "/"\&. This is currently unused\&. It might make sense to use
this for \fBS3::Push\fR and \fBS3::Pull\fR, but allowing resources to
have slashes in their names that aren't marking directories would be
problematic\&. Hence, this currently does nothing\&.
.TP
\fB-default-acl\fR \fIprivate|public-read|public-read-write|authenticated-read|keep|calc\fR
Defaults to an empty string\&. If no -acl argument is provided to \fBS3::Put\fR or
\fBS3::Push\fR, this string is used
(given as the x-amz-acl header if not keep or calc)\&. If this is also
empty, no x-amz-acl header is generated\&.
This is \fInot\fR used by \fBS3::REST\fR\&.
.TP
\fB-default-bucket\fR \fIbucketname\fR
If no bucket is given to \fBS3::GetBucket\fR, \fBS3::PutBucket\fR,
\fBS3::Get\fR, \fBS3::Put\fR,
\fBS3::Head\fR, \fBS3::Acl\fR,
\fBS3::Delete\fR, \fBS3::Push\fR,
\fBS3::Pull\fR, or \fBS3::Toss\fR, and if this configuration variable
is not an empty string (and not simply "/"), then this value
will be used for the bucket\&. This is useful if one program does
a large amount of resource manipulation within a single bucket\&.
.RE
.sp
.TP
\fBS3::SuggestBucket\fR ?\fIname\fR?
The \fBS3::SuggestBucket\fR command accepts an optional string as
a prefix and returns a valid bucket containing the \fIname\fR argument
and the Access Key ID\&. This makes the name unique to the owner and
to the application (assuming the application picks a good \fIname\fR argument)\&.
If no name is provided,
the name from \fBS3::Configure\fR \fI-bucket-prefix\fR is used\&.
If that too is empty (which is not the default), an error is thrown\&.
.TP
\fBS3::REST\fR \fIdict\fR
The \fBS3::REST\fR command takes as an argument a dictionary and
returns a dictionary\&.  The return dictionary has the same keys
as the input dictionary, and includes additional keys as the result\&.
The presence or absence of keys in the input dictionary can control
the behavior of the routine\&.  It never throws an error directly, but
includes keys "error", "errorInfo", and "errorCode" if necessary\&.
Some keys are required, some optional\&. The routine can run either
in blocking or non-blocking mode, based on the presense
of \fBresultvar\fR in the input dictionary\&. This requires
the \fI-accesskeyid\fR and \fI-secretaccesskey\fR to be configured via
\fBS3::Configure\fR before being called\&.
.sp
The possible input keys are these:
.RS
.TP
\fBverb\fR \fIGET|PUT|DELETE|HEAD\fR

?\fBparameters\fR \fIdict\fR?
This optional dictionary provides parameters added to the URL

omitted entirely if no parameters are desired\&. No other
error checking on parameters is performed\&.

?\fBheaders\fR \fIdict\fR?
This optional dictionary provides headers to be added

embedded newlines or carriage returns\&. This is primarily
useful for adding x-amz-* headers\&. Since authentication
is calculated by \fBS3::REST\fR, do not add that header here\&.
Since content-type gets its own key, also do not add
that header here\&.
.TP
?\fBinbody\fR \fIcontentstring\fR?
This optional item, if provided, gives the content that will
be sent\&. It is sent with a tranfer encoding of binary, and
only the low bytes are used, so use [encoding convertto utf-8]
if the string is a utf-8 string\&. This is written all in one blast,
so if you are using non-blocking mode and the \fBinbody\fR is
especially large, you may wind up blocking on the write socket\&.
.TP
?\fBinfile\fR \fIfilename\fR?
This optional item, if provided, and if \fBinbody\fR is not provided,
names the file from which the body of the HTTP message will be
constructed\&. The file is opened for reading and sent progressively
by [fcopy], so it should not block in non-blocking mode
even if the file is very large\&. The file is transfered in
binary mode, so the bytes on your disk will match the bytes
in your resource\&. Due to HTTP restrictions, it must be possible to
use [file size] on this file to determine the size at the
start of the transaction\&.
.TP
?\fBS3chan\fR \fIchannel\fR?
This optional item, if provided, indicates the already-open socket
over which the transaction should be conducted\&. If not provided,
a connection is made to the service access point specified via
\fBS3::Configure\fR, which is normally s3\&.amazonaws\&.com\&. If this
is provided, the channel is not closed at the end of the transaction\&.
.TP
?\fBoutchan\fR \fIchannel\fR?
This optional item, if provided, indicates the already-open channel
to which the body returned from S3 should be written\&. That is,
to retrieve a large resource, open a file, set the translation mode,
and pass the channel as the value of the key outchan\&. Output
will be written to the channel in pieces so memory does not fill
up unnecessarily\&. The channel is not closed at the end of the transaction\&.
.TP
?\fBresultvar\fR \fIvarname\fR?
This optional item, if provided, indicates that \fBS3::REST\fR should
run in non-blocking mode\&. The \fIvarname\fR should be fully qualified
with respect to namespaces and cannot be local to a proc\&. If provided,
the result of the \fBS3::REST\fR call is assigned to this variable once
everything has completed; use trace or vwait to know when this has happened\&.
If this key is not provided, the result is simply returned from the
call to \fBS3::REST\fR and no calls to the eventloop are invoked from
within this call\&.
.TP
?\fBthrowsocket\fR \fIthrow|return\fR?
This optional item, if provided, indicates that \fBS3::REST\fR should
throw an error if throwmode is throw and a socket error is encountered\&.
It indicates that \fBS3::REST\fR should return the error code in the
returned dictionary if a socket error is encountered and this is
set to return\&. If \fBthrowsocket\fR is set to \fIreturn\fR or
if the call is not blocking, then a socket error (i\&.e\&., an error
whose error code starts with "S3 socket" will be returned in the
dictionary as \fBerror\fR, \fBerrorInfo\fR, and \fBerrorCode\fR\&.
If a foreground call is made (i\&.e\&., \fBresultvar\fR is not provided),
and this option is not provided or is set to \fIthrow\fR, then
\fBerror\fR will be invoked instead\&.

Once the call to \fBS3::REST\fR completes, a new dict is returned,

\fBhttpstatus\fR \fIthreedigits\fR
The three-digit code from the HTTP transaction\&. 2XX for good,
5XX for server error, etc\&.
.TP
\fBhttpmessage\fR \fItext\fR
The textual result after the status code\&. "OK" or "Forbidden"
or etc\&.

\fBoutbody\fR \fIcontentstring\fR
If \fIoutchan\fR was not specified, this key will hold a
reference to the (unencoded) contents of the body returned\&.

the error message will be in \fBoutbody\fR or written to
\fBoutchan\fR as appropriate\&.

\fBoutheaders\fR \fIdict\fR
This contains a dictionary of headers returned by Amazon\&.
The keys are always lower case\&. It's mainly useful for

.SH "HIGH LEVEL COMMANDS"
The routines in this section all make use of one or more calls

in a convenient way\&.  All these commands throw errors
as described in \fBERROR REPORTING\fR unless otherwise noted\&.
.PP
In all these commands, all arguments are presented as name/value pairs,
in any order\&. All the argument names start with a hyphen\&.
.PP
There are a few options that are common to many
of the commands, and those common options are documented here\&.
.TP
\fB-blocking\fR \fIboolean\fR
If provided and specified as false,
then any calls to \fBS3:REST\fR will be non-blocking,
and internally these routines will call [vwait] to get
the results\&. In other words, these routines will return the
same value, but they'll have event loops running while waiting
for Amazon\&.
.TP
\fB-parse-xml\fR \fIxmlstring\fR
If provided, the routine skips actually communicating with
Amazon, and instead behaves as if the XML string provided
was returned as the body of the call\&. Since several of
these routines allow the return of data in various formats,
this argument can be used to parse existing XML to extract
the bits of information that are needed\&. It's also helpful
for testing\&.
.TP
\fB-bucket\fR \fIbucketname\fR
Almost every high-level command needs to know what bucket
the resources are in\&. This option specifies that\&. (Only the
command to list available buckets does not require this parameter\&.)
This does not need to be URL-encoded, even if it contains
special or non-ASCII characters\&. May or may not contain leading
or trailing spaces - commands normalize the bucket\&. If this is
not supplied, the value is taken from \fBS3::Configure -default-bucket\fR
if that string isn't empty\&. Note that spaces and slashes are
always trimmed from both ends and the rest must leave a valid bucket\&.
.TP
\fB-resource\fR \fIresourcename\fR
This specifies the resource of interest within the bucket\&.
It may or may not start with a slash - both cases are handled\&.
This does not need to be URL-encoded, even if it contains
special or non-ASCII characters\&.
.TP
\fB-compare\fR \fIalways|never|exists|missing|newer|date|checksum|different\fR
When commands copy resources to files or files to resources, the caller may specify that the copy should be skipped if the contents are the same\&. This argument specifies the conditions under which the files should be copied\&. If it is not passed, the result of \fBS3::Configure -default-compare\fR is used, which in turn defaults to "always\&." The meanings of the various values are these:
.RS
.TP
\fIalways\fR
Always copy the data\&. This is the default\&.
.TP
\fInever\fR
Never copy the data\&. This is essentially a no-op, except in \fBS3::Push\fR and \fBS3::Pull\fR where the -delete flag might make a difference\&.
.TP
\fIexists\fR
Copy the data only if the destination already exists\&.
.TP
\fImissing\fR
Copy the data only if the destination does not already exist\&.
.TP
\fInewer\fR
Copy the data if the destination is missing, or if the date on the source is
newer than the date on the destination by at
least \fBS3::Configure -slop-seconds\fR seconds\&. If the source is
Amazon, the date is taken from the Last-Modified header\&. If the
source is local, it is taken as the mtime of the file\&. If the source data
is specified in a string rather than a file, it is taken as right now,
via [clock seconds]\&.
.TP
\fIdate\fR
Like \fInewer\fR, except copy if the date is newer \fIor\fR older\&.
.TP
\fIchecksum\fR
Calculate the MD5 checksum on the local file or string, ask Amazon for the eTag
of the resource, and copy the data if they're different\&. Copy the data
also if the destination is missing\&. Note that this can be slow with
large local files unless the C version of the MD5 support is available\&.
.TP
\fIdifferent\fR
Copy the data if the destination does not exist\&.
If the destination exists and an actual file name was specified
(rather than a content string),
and the date on the file differs from the date on the resource,
copy the data\&.
If the data is provided as a content string, the "date" is treated
as "right now", so it will likely always differ unless slop-seconds is large\&.
If the dates are the same, the MD5 checksums are compared, and the
data is copied if the checksums differ\&.
.RE

Note that "newer" and "date" don't care about the contents, and "checksum" doesn't care about the dates, but "different" checks both\&.

This command creates a bucket if it does not already exist\&. Bucket names are

\fB-content\fR
If this is specified, the \fIcontentstring\fR is sent as the body

\fB-acl\fR
This defaults to \fBS3::Configure -default-acl\fR if not specified\&.
It sets the x-amz-acl header on the PUT operation\&.
If the value provided is \fIcalc\fR, the x-amz-acl header is
calculated based on the I/O permissions of the file to be uploaded;
it is an error to specify \fIcalc\fR and \fB-content\fR\&.
If the value provided is \fIkeep\fR, the acl of the resource
is read before the PUT (or the default is used if the
resource does not exist), then set back to what it

\fB-x-amz-meta-*\fR
If any header starts with "-x-amz-meta-", its contents are added to the

applied\&. The canned access policies are private, public-read,

The return result from this command is a dictionary\&. They keys are the

there may also be entries for suffixes with the value "deleted" or
"notdeleted", indicating whether the attempted \fBS3::Delete\fR
worked or not, respectively\&. There is one additional pair in the return
result, whose key is the empty string and whose value is a nested dictionary\&.
The keys of this nested dictionary include "filescopied" (the number of
files successfully copied), "bytescopied" (the number of data bytes in
the files copied, excluding headers, metadata, etc), "compareskipped" (the

.IP \(bu
The pure-Tcl MD5 checking is slow\&. If you are processing
files in the megabyte range, consider ensuring binary support is available\&.
.IP \(bu
The commands \fBS3::Pull\fR and \fBS3::Push\fR fetch a
directory listing which includes timestamps and MD5 hashes,
then invoke \fBS3::Get\fR and \fBS3::Put\fR\&. If
a complex \fB-compare\fR mode is specified, \fBS3::Get\fR and
\fBS3::Put\fR will invoke a HEAD operation for each file to fetch
timestamps and MD5 hashes of each resource again\&. It is expected that
a future release of this package will solve this without any API changes\&.
.IP \(bu
The commands \fBS3::Pull\fR and \fBS3::Push\fR fetch a
directory listing without using \fB-max-count\fR\&. The entire
directory is pulled into memory at once\&. For very large buckets,
this could be a performance problem\&. The author, at this time,
does not plan to change this behavior\&. Welcome to Open Source\&.
.IP \(bu
\fBS3::Sync\fR is neither designed nor implemented yet\&.
The intention would be to keep changes synchronised, so changes
could be made to both the bucket and the local directory and
be merged by \fBS3::Sync\fR\&.
.IP \(bu
Nor is
\fB-compare\fR \fIcalc\fR fully implemented\&. This is primarily due to
Windows not providing a convenient method for distinguishing between
local files that are "public-read" or "public-read-write"\&. Assistance
figuring out TWAPI for this would be appreciated\&. The U**X semantics
are difficult to map directly as well\&. See the source for details\&.
Note that there are not tests for calc, since it isn't done yet\&.

The HTTP processing is implemented within the library,

.SH "FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS"
The author intends to work on several additional projects related to
this package, in addition to finishing the unfinished features\&.
.PP
First, a command-line program allowing browsing of buckets and
transfer of files from shell scripts and command prompts is useful\&.
.PP
Second, a GUI-based program allowing visual manipulation of
bucket and resource trees not unlike Windows Explorer would
be useful\&.
.PP
Third, a command-line (and perhaps a GUI-based) program called
"OddJob" that will use S3 to synchronize computation amongst
multiple servers running OddJob\&. An S3 bucket will be set up
with a number of scripts to run, and the OddJob program can
be invoked on multiple machines to run scripts on all the machines,
each moving on to the next unstarted task as it finishes each\&.
This is still being designed, and it is intended primarily
to be run on Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud\&.
.SH "TLS SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS"
.PP
This package uses the \fBTLS\fR package to handle the
security for \fBhttps\fR urls and other socket connections\&.
.PP
Policy decisions like the set of protocols to support and what
ciphers to use are not the responsibility of \fBTLS\fR, nor of
this package itself however\&.
Such decisions are the responsibility of whichever application is
using the package, and are likely influenced by the set of servers
the application will talk to as well\&.
.PP
For example, in light of the recent
\fIPOODLE attack\fR [http://googleonlinesecurity\&.blogspot\&.co\&.uk/2014/10/this-poodle-bites-exploiting-ssl-30\&.html] discovered by Google many servers will disable support
for the SSLv3 protocol\&.
To handle this change the applications using \fBTLS\fR must be
patched, and not this package, nor \fBTLS\fR itself\&.
Such a patch may be as simple as generally activating \fBtls1\fR
support, as shown in the example below\&.
