Re: trying SSL_connect to a TCP listen port

[Rich Salz]

When SSL_connect is tried to a port where TCP process is listening,
how SSL client comes to know that the port it is trying is not TLS process
but a TCP process.

Let me try to rephrase the question: you want both SSL and plaintext on the same port.

There is no general solution. Heuristics will break.

If you cannot afford to have two separate ports, then you should consider adding a new command that tells the plaintext server to switch to SSL.
/r$
