I compiled and ran demos/bio/sconnect.c. In this I found a problem with
BIO_should_retry().
This is the code that doesn't work like it should:
for (;;)
{
i=BIO_write(out,&(p[off]),len);
if (i <= 0)
{
if (BIO_should_retry(out))
{
fprintf(stderr,"write DELAY\n");
sleep(1);
continue;
}
else
{
goto err;
}
}
off+=i;
len-=i;
if (len <= 0) break;
}
Under Win32 when BIO_write() is first called it returns -1 and the BIO_should_rety()
returns 8. The next time it is called (after
the 1 second sleep) BIO_write() again returns -1 but this time BIO_should_retry()
returns 0! It does this for a few seconds before
starting to return 8 again.
Under UNIX BIO_should_retry() returns 8 the entire time until the data is successfully
sent.
I've been working around it by just ignoring the BIO_should_retry() for now, but
obviously this is a problem since it doesn't catch
real errors. I'm very new with this code and I got lost tracking down this bug. Can
somebody help out with it?
This was a PITA to track down since all my code was working on my local LAN and only
started failing when connecting to the internet
(I assume the connection is established on the first call on the LAN).
