You set the length of a particular record you send by calling SSL_write, or if using SSL-BIO by the BIO calls you make. If you really mean SSL, you can't. That's frozen. If you mean TLS, and people often say SSL when they mean both SSL and TLS or even TLS alone, join whatever IETF working group is in charge of this, propose a change, get all or most stakeholders involved around the world to agree the change, and publish an amending or replacement RFC. Then if you need to interoperate with anybody, wait until they or their vendors update their implementations to the new RFC. In other words, for practical purposes, you don't. But since SSL/TLS was and is defined as a stream transport which doesn't guarantee to preserve record boundaries, and sometimes doesn't now, any application which thinks it needs a record > 2^14 bytes is broken. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [email protected]
