timeout for SSL_read ?

[Urjit Gokhale]

Hi,   The application I am writing has requirement that after a request is sent to server, it should hear from the server in xyz seconds.   With normal tcp socket, i can achieve this through select() function. But how do I achieve this for SSL_read? As I understand from last few threads on this group, a select() will just tell the application that some bytes are available in the tcp buffer for the layer above to read. But select does not distinguish between application data and control data (renegotiation data).   So will select() be really able to tell me that the next SSL_read() will succeed immediately and fill application buffer with the server's response? What if my server and client are not going to renegotiate ever? In that case would a hit from select() indicate availability of application data only?   Thank you, ~ Urjit DISCLAIMER ========== This e-mail may contain privileged and confidential information which is the property of Persistent Systems Pvt.
