Purpose

The Client Side Decryption exit is called by the proxy runtime when an encrypted response buffer is received from a target server.

The user provides a decryption algorithm that manipulates the data pointed to by encryptView. The encryptViewLen, on input contains the number of bytes available into which the encrypted buffer area can be decrypted. The process of decryption cannot result in a decrypted buffer area that exceeds maxViewLen. If decryption is performed by this exit, EncryptViewLen must be updated with the length of the decrypted result.
