Procs

proc connect(sock: var SecureSocket; address: string; port: int): int {...}{.
    raises: [Exception, OSError], tags: [RootEffect].}

Connects to the specified address on the specified port. Returns the result of the certificate validation.

proc recvLine(sock: SecureSocket; line: var TaintedString): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Acts in a similar fashion to the recvLine in the sockets module. Returns false when no data is available to be read. Line must be initialized and not nil!

proc send(sock: SecureSocket; data: string) {...}{.raises: [OSError], tags: [].}

Writes data to the socket.

proc close(sock: SecureSocket) {...}{.raises: [OSError], tags: [].}

Closes the socket
