Hello, I have a question or two about some problems we are having with the client program.
Let me explain the setup of my program. This is a program used as a host-interface between our company and another company, and is written to be a-synchronous. The main (parent) process sets up a single socket connection with SSL protocol, initializes shared memory functionality, then forks off 2 child processes to handle sending and receiving messages, respectively, one function to each child. The parent process monitors the pings between both hosts, child 1 sends messages to the server process, and child 2 receives responses from the server process. All instances have access to the shared memory, which maintains the ping status, message data, and message return addresses. The parent must authenticate the connection with the server process. It sends a hello message. Child 2 receives the response to the hello message, calculates a challenge response, and sends it back to the server process. Then, when child 2 goes to read from the socket, it says there is nothing on the socket, though select() said there was. SSL_read() returns 0, and SSL_get_error() returns 1, or SSL_ERROR_SSL. We are stumped as to why to problem is occurring... I setup a simple single instance client process, sequentially sending the required messaging pattern for authentication, and all worked. When I use my regular program, first only with shared memory and no fork()s, then no shared memory and forks, ... nothing worked... still received the same error... What could be impeding the SSL_read() to return the response data I need...? Any help would be greatly appreciated... also, a document, besides the test client with the source/libraries, would be helpful in explaining the required order of initializing an SSL socket would be awesome...
