lol, Michael. David, thanks a lot for the answer. I'll see if I can come up with a workaround to the problem. I was thinking about an alternate solution, using blocking sockets, and doing the connect on another thread. If the user cancels the operation I'd close the socket (BIO_free) and I guess the connect would return with an error and the thread would exit then. Seems a little dirty but it could simplify my life. What do you think? Cheers, Gabriel. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
