Not to beat a dead horse, but I forgot to mention that the application
does work "properly" when performing the same operations on non-SSL
connections. In other-words if I use telnet to connect to the server on
the non-SSL port and type nothing in the console and then have a second
client connect (to either the non-SSL or the SSL port) and make a valid
request, the server responds properly. The telnet session is still
connected, but we are not blocked from handling other requests. The WEBs
code uses the socket 'select' mechanism which I presume plays a role in
this working. I do not understand why this same mechanism fails when we
use SSL.
Thanks again

I suppose re-reading what I wrote it does sound like I am pointing a
finger but that was not my intention. I'm looking for advice on how to
fix our problem. I was hoping for a "silver bullet" - just call this
function and all will be fine type of answer. Wishful thinking, I know.
Blocking socket operations are very difficult to use. I strongly urge
you to
switch to non-blocking operations.
Having only done minimal socket programming, I'm in a bit of a steep
learning curve right now. Other then understanding what a blocking and
non-blocking operation is, I don't fully understand the ramifications of
switching to non-blocking I/O. Compounding this issue is the third party
code, which was clearly written with blocking I/O :(
I appreciate your time!
Thanks
