<P>
Connection objects have the following methods:
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-149'><tt class='method'>accept</tt></a></b>()
<dd>
Call the <tt class="method">accept</tt> method of the underlying socket and set up SSL on the
returned socket, using the Context object supplied to this Connection object at
creation. Returns a pair <code>(<var>conn</var>, <var>address</var>)</code>. where <var>conn</var>
is the new Connection object created, and <var>address</var> is as returned by the
socket's <tt class="method">accept</tt>.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-150'><tt class='method'>bind</tt></a></b>(<var>address</var>)
<dd>
Call the <tt class="method">bind</tt> method of the underlying socket.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-151'><tt class='method'>close</tt></a></b>()
<dd>
Call the <tt class="method">close</tt> method of the underlying socket. Note: If you want
correct SSL closure, you need to call the <tt class="method">shutdown</tt> method first.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-152'><tt class='method'>connect</tt></a></b>(<var>address</var>)
<dd>
Call the <tt class="method">connect</tt> method of the underlying socket and set up SSL on the
socket, using the Context object supplied to this Connection object at
creation.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-153'><tt class='method'>connect_ex</tt></a></b>(<var>address</var>)
<dd>
Call the <tt class="method">connect_ex</tt> method of the underlying socket and set up SSL on
the socket, using the Context object supplied to this Connection object at
creation. Note that if the <tt class="method">connect_ex</tt> method of the socket doesn't
return 0, SSL won't be initialized.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-154'><tt class='method'>do_handshake</tt></a></b>()
<dd>
Perform an SSL handshake (usually called after <tt class="method">renegotiate</tt> or one of
<tt class="method">set_accept_state</tt> or <tt class="method">set_accept_state</tt>). This can raise the
same exceptions as <tt class="method">send</tt> and <tt class="method">recv</tt>.
</dl>

<dd>
Call the <tt class="method">listen</tt> method of the underlying socket.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-157'><tt class='method'>get_app_data</tt></a></b>()
<dd>
Retrieve application data as set by <tt class="method">set_app_data</tt>.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-158'><tt class='method'>get_cipher_list</tt></a></b>()
<dd>
Retrieve the list of ciphers used by the Connection object. WARNING: This API
has changed. It used to take an optional parameter and just return a string,
but not it returns the entire list in one go.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-159'><tt class='method'>get_context</tt></a></b>()
<dd>
Retrieve the Context object associated with this Connection.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-160'><tt class='method'>get_peer_certificate</tt></a></b>()
<dd>
Retrieve the other side's certificate (if any)
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-161'><tt class='method'>getpeername</tt></a></b>()
<dd>
Call the <tt class="method">getpeername</tt> method of the underlying socket.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-162'><tt class='method'>getsockname</tt></a></b>()
<dd>

<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-164'><tt class='method'>pending</tt></a></b>()
<dd>
Retrieve the number of bytes that can be safely read from the SSL buffer
(<i>not</i> the underlying transport buffer).
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-165'><tt class='method'>recv</tt></a></b>(<var>bufsize</var>)
<dd>
Receive data from the Connection. The return value is a string representing the
data received. The maximum amount of data to be received at once, is specified
by <var>bufsize</var>.
</dl>
<P>
<dl><dt><b><a name='l2h-166'><tt class='method'>renegotiate</tt></a></b>()
<dd>
Renegotiate the SSL session. Call this if you wish to change cipher suites or
