For SSL_accept, you need to make the underlying socket non-blocking, rather than a non-blocking BIO. You can make a socket non-blocking with the 'fcntl' system call (check the manpages). You may also be interested in the excellent sockets tutorial 'Beej's Guide to Network Programming' located at
http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~beej/guide/net/html/ Once you have made a socket, and set it non-blocking, create your SSL object as usual and the SSL connection should be then non-blocking. There are some other issues though (particularly when using select), see the following two articles for more info: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=4822 http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5487 Hope that helps, Patrick On Mon, 17 May 2004 8:00 pm, Alexis Lefort wrote: > Hi all, > > My server sometimes block on the call to SSL_accept() because my client > crash on SSL_connect.
