I am new to SSL. I inherited some code from another programmer that tries to connet to another machine. The problem is that I am currently being denied access by that machine (I tested this with a web browser). I create a SSL_CTX and call SSL_CTX_set_timeout to change it from the default of 300 to 10. I then create a SSL with this CTX. I then call SSL_set_fd. Next, I call SSL_connect. This last call hangs for about 7 minutes. Any advice on how to reduce this time?
