=head1 NAME
-SSL_COMP_add_compression_method - handle SSL/TLS integrated compression methods
+SSL_COMP_add_compression_method, SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods - handle SSL/TLS integrated compression methods
=head1 SYNOPSIS
int SSL_COMP_add_compression_method(int id, COMP_METHOD *cm);
+ +void SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(void);
+
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_COMP_add_compression_method() adds the compression method B<cm> with
list is globally maintained for all SSL operations within this application.
It cannot be set for specific SSL_CTX or SSL objects.
+SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods() frees the internal table of
+compression methods that were built internally, and possibly
+augmented by adding SSL_COMP_add_compression_method().
+
=head1 NOTES
The TLS standard (or SSLv3) allows the integration of compression methods
when a matching identifier is found. There is no way to restrict the list
of compression methods supported on a per connection basis.
-The OpenSSL library has the compression methods B<COMP_rle()> and (when
-especially enabled during compilation) B<COMP_zlib()> available.
+If enabled during compilation, the OpenSSL library will have the
+COMP_zlib() compression method available.
+
+=head1 WARNINGS
+
+Once the identities of the compression methods for the TLS protocol have
+been standardized, the compression API will most likely be changed. Using
+it in the current state is not recommended.
