How do you do timed-out persistent/keep alive SSL connections with blocking sockets?

(1) if the client connects but does not send a request (DoS attack, for instance), then SSL_read() would hang.

To quote this letter, "The only way to ensure that indefinite blocking is avoided is to use nonblocking I/O." So, I guess I'll give up trying to timeout blocked SSL_read()s.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
