Hi PAUL, as you rightly guessed, this is for load balancing. i have an application which spawns several servers on bootstrapping (somewhat like apache). But the difference is one server is primary server which accepts all the connects from client and then passes over to different servers. this all has to happen in real time and thus your solution of spitting htmls may not work very well.
I want the entire communication between client and server to be passed to new server transparently. taht is the reason i want to save the ssl object in one process and load it in another process. at present i am thinking of doing it the same way mod_ssl saves ssl_session. do let me know if you have any other ideas, or see any pitfalls with this approach. thanks, -av ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul Sheer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 4:38:19 PM Subject: Re: extend openssl to cache SSL state Hi Can I ask exactly why you want two processes to share the same session? I am working on an ssl offloading application which acts as an SSL terminator and spits out plain-text HTML to several machines over which it can load balance. It works well, and it starts multiple processes - but at not time do two processes share a live session. -paul On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 8:07 PM, Aoon Vaode <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > hola, > > i have two processes which want to share a same SSL session. > from the past posts it appears that there is no solution available to this > problam > http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg52220.html > > as the link above said, I plan to extend openssl to provide this support as > i it. > wud some of you provide any suggestions about a possible implementation? > Your help would be useful. > > -av > > > > > > > > > > > ________________________________ > Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
