This is not an SSL issue. You would have the same issue with pure TCP if
you connect to a server that doesn't respond the way you expect it.
Any protocol layered on top of SSL or TCP should explain how to handle
this. There may be timeouts. There may be an application-level ping/pong
mechanism. Whatever. Just follow the protocol.
If the protocol contains no such mechanism, it's broken. You may have to
invent one and add it to the protocol. A simple one would be to break the
connection if you see no traffic for more than a particular amount of time.
This doesn't work in protocols where long period of silence are normal, in
which case you need something more sophisticated.
