Hi, My openssl client ran on the machine with low speed CPU. And when it conncted to a Netscape server needing client authentication, it loaded it's certificate,and sended CertificateVerify,but it is so slow that it spent more than forty seconds.Yet the server sended it a TCP FIN package. I read SSL protocol many times ,but I could not find timeout mechanism. How to do ? Any help is appreciated. _________________________________________________________________ 您可以在 MSN Hotmail 站点 http://www.hotmail.com/cn 免费收发电子邮件 ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
