Can someone point me to exact details on javax.net.debug? [closed]

I'd like to get exact details on the SSL debug output generated using javax.net.debug. I have looked, but nearly everything just goes through a sample file.

Sorry in advance if this is easier to find then I expected.

I also found this link, but again it doesn't cover everything. owasp.org/index.php/Using_the_Java_Secure_Socket_Extensions – Popular 1/10, 2011 at 6:0

"nearly everything just goes through a sample file" means what? – Once 4/6, 2012 at 0:27

I don't understand what it is that you don't understand.

There's the specification of the option itself in the JSSE Reference Guide. There's the tutorial mentioned by @JavaGeek.

You definitely need to understand the SSL handshake process to understand the output for the handshake option, and your reference for that is RFC 2246, or th excellent book by Eric Rescoria if you like.

You would need to understand the TrustManager and KeyManager interfaces to make much sense out of the keymanager and trustmanager options, and the SSLContext and friends to understand the session and context stuff.

What do you mean by the exact details?

Oracle provides a pretty good tutorial on how to debug SSL connections, but if you're trying to find the Javadoc for it, I don't think it's available.

Thanks. I had found that before, but it doesn't appear to cover everything. – Popular 30/9, 2011 at 20:47

@Popular Doesn't cover everything such as what? It looks complete to me. – Once 8/10, 2014 at 18:41
