hi guys,
I have a SSL server and clients. The problem is the clients makes too many
connections because they are web based and does not keep there state. This
results in a lot of network traffic between the server and the clients. So
I
decided to change the process by creating a proxy server between the web
clients and the server. What I did was give each client a ID which it
passes
to the proxy server upon connection. The proxy would then check if this is
the first connection by this client if it is then create a connection to
the
server and store this SSL, pass the data from the client to the server
until
the client dies. If it is not the first connection then retrieve the
connection from a list and use it. Hence if there are 3 clients then there
will be at most 3 connections to the server.
I impliment this by storing a pointer to the SSL structure in a link list
after I create it
InsertNode(int client_id, SSL* sock)
then use the it. This works on the first connection, however when another
connection by that client comes I retrieve the SSL structure based on the
client_id.
SSL* FindNode(client_id)
What happens now is I use the SSL strcuture and write to it. The server
however closes the connection after the write.
