In an SSL client I want to force the SSL handshake to take place instead
of passively waiting for it to happen during the first write.
Right after I connect to the server I'm currently doing this:
SSL_ResetHandshake(ssl, /* asServer */ PR_FALSE);
do {
SSL_ForceHandshake(ssl);
PR_Recv (ssl, handshake, 1, PR_MSG_PEEK, 100);
err = PR_GetError();
} while (err != PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR && handshake_done == 0);
If the handshake succeeds the my SSL_HandshakeCallback callback sets
handshake_done and I exit the loop. If it fails then sooner or later
PR_Recv will set the error to EOF. I don't care if I'm losing the error
from the handshake, I do the logging for failures in the
SSL_BadCertHook() callback.
My questions are:
1. Do I need the loop or will the PR_Recv, even with such a short
timeout, do the trick for me?
2. Is there a better way to do this?
