Why does it return 0 if there is something to read?
SSL_pending() does not read new data from the network, it only looks at any bytes that may be remaining from previous calls to SSL_read(). If you have to avoid hanging, you should use non-blocking sockets. Then you can do trial SSL_read() calls to check for new data.
