Re^2: SSL-socket on Windowsby morgon (Priest) |

the start of a "merry trip through hell".Thanks for the encouragement :-) I did some more testing and found that the start_SSL actually does seem to return eventually, even though it can take half an hour... The problem I face at the moment is the following: One thread connects the socket (non-SSL), then the socket gets passed to a "main" thread that tries to upgrade the socket to SSL and also handles several other sockets with a select-loop but because the start_SLL takes so long yet another "monitor"-thread decides that the main thread is dead and restarts the whole thing after which the cycle repeats. I have no idea why it was implemented like that (one thread making the TCP-connection and another upgrading it to SSL), but I hope I can make the thread that connects also do the SSL-upgrade and then pass the SSL-socket to the main-thread to avoid blocking it for so long. I hope (and pray) that as at any given time there is only one thread using the SSL-socket that the thread-unsafeness of IO::Socket::SSL will not be an issue for me - or would you say that you cannot pass a SSL-socket from one thread to another and my plan is doomed?
