Hi:
Iīve faced the same problem.The true problem comes up when you want to authenticate the remote server and in the process you resolve the IP of the CN field of the certificate that he(the server) sends you during handshake to see if its the same you are connected to.If this is the case (which depends on how you program your verify_callback() function,or how your client works) then that IPs are different, so full authentication canīt take place. If your client doesnīt resolve the certificate CN IP, there is no problem.I have used methods as CONNECT, port mappings or SOCKS to go out trough proxy servers with no problems. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.Srikanth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 7:38 PM Subject: SSL and proxy server > guys, > i am faced with a small problem.
