Well when you stay on F5 key, you force Internet Explorer to close the current connections and recreate new ones. ( It may even multiply the number of simultaneous connections as well. You can end up with 20 simultaneous connections for example, instead of the normal 2 to 4 ones )
Some maybe be some are closed during the handshake, and then you'll see some error messages at server side, it just seems normal to me. I dont know s_server but i suppose it uses openssl with thread safety activated btw. Be sure you did add the code needed to assume thread safety in openssl to your HTTPS application. Without that you can also see such errors. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: mercredi 31 décembre 2003 3:46 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Occasional ssl23_read() failure I tried to run s_server (version 0.9.6l) with the following options: openssl s_server -accept 443 -cert cert.pem -key key.pem -www I use IE6.0 (with default settings) to connect to this server. It works fine except when I press and *hold down* the F5 key (the shortcut key for refreshing the page) to repeatedly reload the page. When I do that, I get occasional errors: 1560:error:140780E5:SSL routines:SSL23_READ:ssl handshake failure:.\ssl\s23_lib.c:180: I am doing this because a similar problem occurs in my HTTPS application that uses OpenSSL. When there are many simultaneous (or close to simultaneous) connections from IE, SSL_accept() returns -1 occassionally and SSL_get_error() returns SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL. I believe it is caused by the same kind of handshake failure. I am able to repeat the problem with s_server on both Win32 and Solaris 8. Does anyone know if there is a workaround or should I use some special options?
