64-bit vs 32-bit systems
It looks to me like a 64-bit client cant connect to a 32-bit server.
The ASN1 structures/headers have int's and longs scattered throughout them (and probably in other parts of the openssl libraries). In fact, the 32-bit server fails to recieve a connection with the error "bad asn1 object header".
That are 2 different kind of shoes.
Structures and headers are not direct related to the data on the wire..
I think you have configured on a 32 bit system and build on a 64 bit system, or build the library on a 32 bit system and your program on a 64 bit system...
My question is, how self contained is this software. Could the longs be replace by ints to keep the structures the same size on both systems?
Why ?
You need the headers only if you build a program. And you shouldn't link a openssl build on a 32 bit system with a program build on a 64 bit system...
Has this issue been discusses before?
AFAIK not.
perhaps openssl should migrate to the types defined in stding.h ? But that comes with ISO C99, so an fallback should be supported...
