NAME
       gnutls_record_set_max_empty_records - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       void gnutls_record_set_max_empty_records(gnutls_session_t session, const unsigned int i);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t session
		   is a gnutls_session_t structure.

       const unsigned int i
		   is the desired value of maximum empty records that can be accepted in a row.

DESCRIPTION
       Used  to  set  the  maximum number of empty fragments that can be accepted in a row. Accepting many empty fragments is useful for receiving
       length-hidden content, where empty fragments filled with pad are sent to hide the real length of a message. However, a malicious peer could
       send empty fragments to mount a DoS attack, so as a safety measure, a maximum number of empty fragments is accepted by default. If you know
       your application must accept a given number of empty fragments in a row, you can use this function to set the desired value.
