Hi, I have a problem here using OpenSSL, maybe I have some fundamental misunderstanding of how the api is supposed to be used.
What I want to do: Send a couple of HTTP requests over one connection (with HTTP/1.1, keep-alive enabled). Seems simple enough: I send a HTTP request and then read what the server sends, then send the next. However: How do I know when the server has stopped sending? I have attached a code sample (it's missing lots of error checking in the initialization phase, but that's just for simplification of the code and shouldn't matter for now). The relevant part is here: for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) { printf("calling BIO_write\n"); r = BIO_write(bio, request, strlen(request)); printf("%i bytes written\n", r); do { printf("calling BIO_read\n"); r = BIO_read(bio, buf, 1024); printf("%i bytes read\n", r); } while (r > 0); } Now when I run this code it sends one write and reads a couple of times. However when it's done BIO_read will block the program execution and not return until a timeout. So I need a way to know that there's nothing to read before calling BIO_read. Searching the docs I thought SSL_pending() might be what I need. However it always returns zero, no matter if the server has something to send or not. Another sidenote: I have set the timeout of the context to 2, but it still hangs for much longer, so the timeout value doesn't seem to have any effect. I also tried a number of other things, including using SSL_read/write, BIO_puts/gets (I didn't really find any good explanation when to use which of the three), using a nonblocking bio (but that was totally confusing) etc. Any help apprechiated. -- Hanno Böck https://hboeck.de/ mail/jabber: ha...@hboeck.de GPG: BBB51E42
