I have Linux Server which has been connected with a Windows XP client using SSL Sockets. I am able to read and write through those sockets.
Recently my calls to SSL_Connect() waits for long time. And yes I am using in Blocking mode. My search on that issue ended up with, "I have to use non-blocking mode and have to use time outs as well". But I want the connection to be successful so as to proceed further. Only when I am done with those little transfers between the Server and the Client, I will be able to move to the next step. Hence I used blocking mode here. While at the start of SSL Socket programming, I let the socket connections close abruptly without releasing them (through exceptions and as a beginner's ignorance). Will that might be the reason for my client not get connected with the Server? By the way I mean that those connections may not be still cleared which makes my current SSL_Connect() call to hang? If so, can I clean up those through any command or something? Or What might be reasons that make SSL_Connect to hang/wait for long? And how can I establish a connection in such case when I had to use blocking mode? -- Regards, Kali
