By a strange coincidence I added some code to the ocsp application a couple of days ago that covers this situation. What you should do is call BIO_should_retry() if you get <= 0 return from BIO_do_connect() in fact until it connects you'll get BIO_should_retry_special() as true. You can loop until you get an error or BIO_do_connect() succeeds but that isn't very efficient and it non portable with the current connect BIO implementation on Windows as I found out when I tried the updated ocsp application with a timeout on WIN32. That should be fixed I suppose. The efficient thing to do depends on the underlying transport. Getting the actual socket description with BIO_get_fd() then calling select() while waiting for a write condition is often done for example. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
