Funny you should mention. I just completed a little demo project that does exactly that. The short answer is 'yes'. You have to set your sockets to be nonblocking and *also* set your SSL connection objects nonblocking. Read or write the SSL objects until you get a 'waiting read' or 'waiting write' status, then add the associated socket to the appropriate fd_set and call select(). When you wake up, repeat the process. Let me know offlist if you'd like to see some sample code. It's kinda rough and ready but it works. -- -- Michael J.
