First i want to thank you both for your quick answers. It's quite hard to change the design as its an old application which must be upgraded to SSL.
Maybe what i've said was not clear enough. In fact, i don't want two processes to be able to communicate on the socket at the same time. I just would like the process which has accepted the connection to give the SSL object to a second process. Then the first process doesn't need the SSL object anymore. --- Darryl Miles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : > Marek Marcola wrote: > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > >> For the moment, i have a kind of supervisor > which, > >> accept a connection, read some datas on the > socket and > >> then start the process which is able to handle > this > >> datas.
