Hello,




I was getting 500 read timeouts trying to download a 2MB file at around

1.5MB (downloading in chunks) with ActiveState Perl and Crypt::SSLeay

v0.51 compiled against OpenSSL v0.9.7c.





I then tried the same script on a Linux box and it worked fine.  I then

noticed I was using IO::Socket::SSL and Net::SSLeay rather than

Crypt::SSLeay on the Linux machine, so I uninstalled Crypt::SSLeay on

the windows machine and installed the ppm module Net::SSLeay v1.25.  It

still timed out.





So I installed Crypt::SSLeay on the Linux machine and it did not work.

After all this I noticed that I had both OpenSSL 0.9.6g and 0.9.7c.  The

Net::SSLeay was compiled against the 0.9.6g.  I installed a version

compiled against 0.9.7c and it failed on the download also.





Also downloads were working from the site just a couple of weeks ago,

and my Crypt::SSLeay install and OpenSSL were not updated or modified.

I suppose something could have changed with the server that is causing a

problem to show up in OpenSSL, but I don't know.



I am having to recompile any modules that need SSL support for the older OpenSSL 
library, which is not an attractive solution.



Any ideas?
