Presumably on a nonblocking socket, or you shouldn't get WANT_WRITE.
And presumably you mean an SSL object created from an SSL_CTX object.
Although both of these can be called context in a generic sense,
openssl uses that term for SSL_CTX.

WANT_WRITE?
You say you bound the socket (which isn't usually needed on an
outgoing connection) but you don't say you TCP-connected it.
Only after it's connected -- and I believe fully-connected
for nonblocking, but I'm not positive of that -- can it show
either writable or readable to pselect et amici.
SSL_connect only does the SSL part, not the TCP part.
If you use connect_BIO to create the socket, *it* does
the TCP-connect, but in that case you wouldn't directly
manipulate the socket as you describe.
