Hi, i downloaded the openssl cryptographic library and toolkit . The compile and make has been done to produce dlls and lib files. I have a openssl server running on my machine (port 4433). Now when i try to make a client using: openssl s_client -connect (my_server_ip):4433 -state -debug the client terminates giving the following error: SSL_connect: failed in SSLv3 read server hello A 346:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_Write:SSL handshake error:.\ssl\s23_lib.c:216: Why is the client terminating in the handshake process??
