When select() or poll() indicate that *some* data is available for reading, there is no guarantee that it is enough data for OpenSSL to continue without blocking. If blocking is not acceptable, you always should use non-blocking sockets. You can also work with BIO pairs, which are inherently non-blocking and allow you to handle the actual network I/O in whatever way you like. (A BIO pair is essentially an OpenSSL-internal pipe; one end can be handled by the SSL library while the other end is handled by the application -- you feed in to the SSL library any data received from the network and transmit over the network any data sent by the SSL library.) -- Bodo Möller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP http://www.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/TI/Mitarbeiter/moeller/0x36d2c658.html * TU Darmstadt, Theoretische Informatik, Alexanderstr. 10, D-64283 Darmstadt * Tel. +49-6151-16-6628, Fax +49-6151-16-6036 ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
