Asad, Check your sockets ALWAYS before reading or writing. a bit of "seek()" code should fix this.
SSL fires extra read and write events (asyc sockets win32) that are actually handled internally by the SSL protocols. You must check for readability/writability before attempting to get data from the socket, also be aware that connections can "stall" (due to this anomaly) and must be flagged as such, to retry the (especially SSL_write's) later. Have fun!
