Hi list,

currently I'm using 

-----
CONN_STRING="$(${PATH_TO_OPENSSL} s_client -connect ${HOST_IP}:${PORT} -nbio -pause < 
/dev/null 2>&1)"

to connect to a remote SSL-server to get the connection string for processing it with 

echo "${CONN_STRING}" | ${PATH_TO_OPENSSL} x509 -noout -dates | grep "notAfter")"

to get the expiration date of the certificate.
------

That works pretty fine for most of the ssl hosts but sometimes openssl gets struck and 
doesen't proceed farer than:
CONNECTED(00000003)
turning on non blocking io
write R BLOCK

openssl then only times out by the time out for connections by the OS.


->Is there any (undocumented) command line option for openssl s_client to specify a 
time out (e.g. -timeout sec)?

->Otherwise I would like to ask to start a dicussion for integrating such a feature 
into openssl s_client.


Please reply cc: to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as I haven't subscribed for this list.

I would appreciate any feedback...


Thank you & kind regards,
B. Courtin
