I do trust the documentation. Others around me don't trust it. And I wanted to know whether the warning in the SSL_read manpage about the WANT_WRITE and WANT_READ retries is still valid or not. All you said was: 'If you set the flags which make SSL_write easier to handle, then everything it will be alright.'. And that stands in direct contradiction to the documentation. It also wasn't clear to me what 'everything' meant. I though you have totally missed the point of my previous mail. Where I asked about SSL_read. Did you actually mean this: 'If you set the flags which make SSL_write easier to handle, then SSL_read will also be fine.'?

I trust the documentation more than a single person which only says: 'everything will be alright.' Because 'everything' does not match 'SSL_read' for me. But if you really meant that SSL_read retries don't need the same buffer when I set those flags, then I guess I can trust you a bit more :-) I would be even more trustfull if someone of the openssl developers would say a word about this. Something like: 'Yes yes, the man pages are a bit obsolete, you can pass different buffers to SSL_read for retries.'
