Hi Victor, Thanks for your suggestion. I was under the impression that the TLS extension (RFC 4366) has some chunking mechanism where the application protocol does not have to create the chunks. Does Openssl implement this extension and if it does would it be possible for me to take advantage of that using some APIs ?
