Found some things on the Web that led me to believe some programs choke when they get IPv6 addresses back from gethostbyname(), so I tried disabling IPv6 on Windows -- but no improvement.
I have tried coding a server program more or less following the example in the O'Reilly OpenSSL book and the first BIO_do_accept() fails with 8276:error:02003AFC:system library:getservbyname:reason(2812):.\crypto\bio\b_sock.c:224:service='&d' which I am going to guess is the same problem. Anyone?

I have searched and don't find any replies. I run the following command: openssl s_server -accept 6514 -cert servercacert.pem -key servercakey.pem -state -debug -no_dhe OpenSSL responds Enter pass phrase for servercakey.pem: Loading 'screen' into random state - done Using default temp ECDH parameters ACCEPT When my client issues BIO_do_connect(conn) then openssl s_server fails with gethostbyname failure There is nothing particularly unusual about the Windows 7 64-bit system on which openssl is running. I have used gethostbyaddr frequently with no unexpected errors. I'm using a pre-built Windows distribution of OpenSSL 1.0.1c. Any ideas? ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
