I've never been using ssl with blocking io, but according to man pages
you need to call SSL_do_handshake() function on the server side.

I interpret the man page for SSL_do_handshake() that this routine will perform a TLS/SSL handshake by calling SSL_accept() internally (when put in server mode via SSL_set_accept_state()). This is what I am currently doing in my code already.

So the problem persists: my server is stuck in a call to [SSL_do_handshake() which calls] SSL_accept() because the handshaking never finishes.

Any other idea what I can try ?
