RE: 64-bit vs 32-bit systems
Title: RE: 64-bit vs 32-bit systems Hi, I dont think that is the problem. I've configured and built my 64-bit client on a 64-bit system. My 32-bit server is our release product that has been around for about a year, so i'm pretty sure thats ok. Is it likely that the client and server versions are incompatible? my server is fixed at 0.9.6c, and my client is the latest release 0.9.7b. Is is possible that the older version is not compatible with the new?

Structures and headers are not direct related to the data on the wire.. I think you have configured on a 32 bit system and build on a 64 bit system, or build the library on a 32 bit system and your program on a 64 bit system... > My question is, how self contained is this software.

And you shouldn't link a openssl build on a 32 bit system with a program build on a 64 bit system... > Has this issue been discusses before? AFAIK not. perhaps openssl should migrate to the types defined in stding.h ? But that comes with ISO C99, so an fallback should be supported...

Re: 64-bit vs 32-bit systems
It looks to me like a 64-bit client cant connect to a 32-bit server. nope, it works. The ASN1 structures/headers have int's and longs scattered throughout them (and probably in other parts of the openssl libraries). In fact, the 32-bit server fails to recieve a connection with the error "bad asn1 object header". The ASN1 structures are local forms that are created from wire representations (DER). Look at the various i2d_xxx and d2i_xxx functions. If you're having problems, it's not because something is wrong in the place where you're looking. :) /r$ -- Rich Salz, Chief Security Architect DataPower Technology http://www.datapower.com XS40 XML Security Gatewayhttp://www.datapower.com/products/xs40.html __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
