**SSL/TLS support**
Secure connections use **TLS 1.1** with the following cipher suites:
- `TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA`
- `TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA`
- `TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA`
- `TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5`
This specification is imposed by the [axTLS library](http://axtls.sourceforge.net/specifications.htm) used by the SDK.

#### Syntax
`getpeer()`
#### Parameters
none
#### Returns
- `ip` of peer
- `port` of peer
## net.socket:hold()
Throttle data reception by placing a request to block the TCP receive function. This request is not effective immediately, Espressif recommends to call it while reserving 5*1460 bytes of memory.
#### Syntax
`hold()`
#### Parameters
none
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
[`net.socket:unhold()`](#netsocketunhold)
## net.socket:on()
Register callback functions for specific events.
#### Syntax
`on(event, function())`
#### Parameters
- `event` string, which can be "connection", "reconnection", "disconnection", "receive" or "sent"
- `function(net.socket[, string])` callback function. The first parameter is the socket. If event is "receive", the second parameter is the received data as string.
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Example
```lua
srv = net.createConnection(net.TCP, 0)
srv:on("receive", function(sck, c) print(c) end)
srv:connect(80,"192.168.0.66")
srv:on("connection", function(sck, c)
-- Wait for connection before sending.
sck:send("GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: 192.168.0.66\r\nConnection: keep-alive\r\nAccept: */*\r\n\r\n")
end)
```
#### See also
- [`net.createServer()`](#netcreateserver)
- [`net.socket:hold()`](#netsockethold)
## net.socket:send()
Sends data to remote peer.
#### Syntax
`send(string[, function(sent)])`
`sck:send(data, fnA)` is functionally equivalent to `sck:send(data) sck:on("sent", fnA)`.
#### Parameters
- `string` data in string which will be sent to server
- `function(sent)` callback function for sending string
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Note
Multiple consecutive `send()` calls aren't guaranteed to work (and often don't) as network requests are treated as separate tasks by the SDK. Instead, subscribe to the "sent" event on the socket and send additional data (or close) in that callback. See [#730](https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/issues/730#issuecomment-154241161) for details.
#### Example
```lua
srv = net.createServer(net.TCP)
srv:listen(80, function(conn)
conn:on("receive", function(sck, req)
local response = {}
-- if you're sending back HTML over HTTP you'll want something like this instead
-- local response = {"HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nServer: NodeMCU on ESP8266\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n"}
response[#response + 1] = "lots of data"
response[#response + 1] = "even more data"
response[#response + 1] = "e.g. content read from a file"
-- sends and removes the first element from the 'response' table
local function send(sk)
if #response > 0
then sk:send(table.remove(response, 1))
else
sk:close()
response = nil
end
end
-- triggers the send() function again once the first chunk of data was sent
sck:on("sent", send)
send(sck)
end)
end)
```
If you do not or can not keep all the data you send back in memory at one time (remember that `response` is an aggregation) you may use explicit callbacks instead of building up a table like so:
```lua
sck:send(header, function()
local data1 = "some large chunk of dynamically loaded data"
sck:send(data1, function()
local data2 = "even more dynamically loaded data"
sck:send(data2, function(sk)
sk:close()
end)
end)
end)
```

[`net.socket:on()`](#netsocketon)
## net.socket:unhold()
Unblock TCP receiving data by revocation of a preceding `hold()`.
#### Syntax
`unhold()`
#### Parameters
none
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
[`net.socket:hold()`](#netsockethold)
# net.dns Module
## net.dns.getdnsserver()
Gets the IP address of the DNS server used to resolve hostnames.
#### Syntax
`net.dns.getdnsserver(dns_index)`
#### Parameters
dns_index which DNS server to get (range 0~1)
#### Returns
IP address (string) of DNS server
#### Example
```lua
print(net.dns.getdnsserver(0)) -- 208.67.222.222
print(net.dns.getdnsserver(1)) -- nil
net.dns.setdnsserver("8.8.8.8", 0)
net.dns.setdnsserver("192.168.1.252", 1)
print(net.dns.getdnsserver(0)) -- 8.8.8.8
print(net.dns.getdnsserver(1)) -- 192.168.1.252
```
#### See also
[`net.dns:setdnsserver()`](#netdnssetdnsserver)
## net.dns.resolve()
Resolve a hostname to an IP address. Doesn't require a socket like [`net.socket.dns()`](#netsocketdns).
#### Syntax
`net.dns.resolve(host, function(ip))`
#### Parameters
- `host` hostname to resolve
- `function(sk, ip)` callback called when the name was resolved. Don't use `sk`, it's a socket used internally to resolve the hostname.
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Example
```lua
net.dns.resolve("www.google.com", function(sk, ip)
if (ip == nil) then print("DNS fail!") else print(ip) end
end)
```
#### See also
[`net.socket:dns()`](#netsocketdns)
## net.dns.setdnsserver()
Sets the IP of the DNS server used to resolve hostnames. Default: resolver1.opendns.com (208.67.222.222). You can specify up to 2 DNS servers.
#### Syntax
`net.dns.setdnsserver(dns_ip_addr, dns_index)`
#### Parameters
- `dns_ip_addr` IP address of a DNS server
- `dns_index` which DNS server to set (range 0~1). Hence, it supports max. 2 servers.
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
[`net.dns:getdnsserver()`](#netdnsgetdnsserver)
# net.cert Module
This controls certificate verification when SSL is in use.
## net.cert.verify()
Controls the vertificate verification process when the Nodemcu makes a secure connection.
#### Syntax
`net.cert.verify(enable)`
`net.cert.verify(pemdata)`
#### Parameters
- `enable` A boolean which indicates whether verification should be enabled or not. The default at boot is `false`.
- `pemdata` A string containing the CA certificate to use for verification.
#### Returns
`true` if it worked.
Can throw a number of errors if invalid data is supplied.
#### Example
Make a secure https connection and verify that the certificate chain is valid.
```
net.cert.verify(true)
http.get("https://example.com/info", nil, function (code, resp) print(code, resp) end)
```
Load a certificate into the flash chip and make a request. This is the [startssl](https://startssl.com) root certificate. They provide free
certificates.

#### Notes
The certificate needed for verification is stored in the flash chip. The `net.cert.verify` call with `true`
enables verification against the value stored in the flash.
The certificate can be loaded into the flash chip in two ways -- one at firmware build time, and the other at initial boot
of the firmware. In order to load the certificate at build time, just place a file containing the CA certificate (in PEM format)
at `server-ca.crt` in the root of the nodemcu-firmware build tree. The build scripts will incorporate this into the resulting
firmware image.
The alternative approach is easier for development, and that is to supply the PEM data as a string value to `net.cert.verify`. This
will store the certificate into the flash chip and turn on verification for that certificate. Subsequent boots of the nodemcu can then
use `net.cert.verify(true)` and use the stored certificate.
