Hi,
My apologies, but I didn't understand it fully. The client sends the
complete data to server in one shot ( by allocating the buffer of
required size ), but server needs to read it in ssl_read loop,
because it needs to know the data size from data itself.
I have tried it by splitting the transaction into 2 parts as
client -> server ( actual data size in next call )
server -> client ( OK )
client -> server ( actual data )
server -> client ( received ). This works but because of extra overhead
I want to eliminate it. and make it as
client -> server ( data length embedded in data )
server reads the data in ssl_read loop.
server -> client ( received )
