//! # Why do I need to call `poll_flush`?
|
||||||
|
//!
|
||||||
|
//! Most TLS implementations will have an internal buffer to improve throughput,
|
||||||
|
//! and rustls is no exception.
|
||||||
|
//!
|
||||||
|
//! When we write data to `TlsStream`, we always write rustls buffer first,
|
||||||
|
//! then take out rustls encrypted data packet, and write it to data channel (like TcpStream).
|
||||||
|
//! When data channel is pending, some data may remain in rustls buffer.
|
||||||
|
//!
|
||||||
|
//! `tokio-rustls` To keep it simple and correct, [TlsStream] will behave like `BufWriter`.
|
||||||
|
//! For `TlsStream<TcpStream>`, this means that data written by `poll_write` is not guaranteed to be written to `TcpStream`.
|
||||||
|
//! You must call `poll_flush` to ensure that it is written to `TcpStream`.
|
||||||
|
//!
|
||||||
|
//! You should call `poll_flush` at the appropriate time,
|
||||||
|
//! such as when a period of `poll_write` write is complete and there is no more data to write.
|
||||||
|
//!
|
||||||
|
//! ## Why don't we write during `poll_read`?
|
||||||
|
//!
|
||||||
|
//! We did this in the early days of `tokio-rustls`, but it caused some bugs.
|
||||||
|
//! We can solve these bugs through some solutions, but this will cause performance degradation (reverse false wakeup).
|
||||||
|
//!
|
||||||
|
//! And reverse write will also prevent us implement full duplex in the future.
|
||||||
|
//!
|
||||||
|
//! see <https://github.com/tokio-rs/tls/issues/40>
|
||||||
|
//!
|
||||||
|
//! ## Why can't we handle it like `native-tls`?
|
||||||
|
//!
|
||||||
|
//! When data channel returns to pending, `native-tls` will falsely report the number of bytes it consumes.
|
||||||
|
//! This means that if data written by `poll_write` is not actually written to data channel, it will not return `Ready`.
|
||||||
|
//! Thus avoiding the call of `poll_flush`.
|
||||||
|
//!
|
||||||
|
//! but which does not conform to convention of `AsyncWrite` trait.
|
||||||
|
//! This means that if you give inconsistent data in two `poll_write`, it may cause unexpected behavior.
|
||||||
|
//!
|
||||||
|
