Re: SSL Error

You can't reuse a socket for a TCP connection, but you certainly can reuse the same TCP socket for an arbitrary number of SSL connections as long as you don't compromise the TCP connection while you're doing it.  I suspect that is the intention here and from the sounds of things (if all he is getting is a 'no error' error), it is doing just that.

sorry if I misunderstood you, but AFAIK, pure sockets API doesnt allow socket reuse as such. You have to have a new socket for every TCP connection, you can't "reuse" a socket.

Hello,

Has anybody seen the following runtime error message before?

        error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0)

It seems to be coming from the following openssl function: ERR_error_string(m_sslError, 0).  This error occurs in a C++ client application that sends SSL encrypted messages over TCP-IP.  The application is developed and executed in AIX5.2 O/S and uses 0.9.7d version of SSL.  The error occurs when I try to reuse a socket that I had previously opened.  After this error message I am able to open a fresh socket and successfully send a message.  The interesting thing is that this only happens on a certain server, and of course it is not the development server.  When I disable SSL encryption, the error does not occur.  I'm not readily able to do any debugging on this server so, before I go digging into all the difference between the 2 servers, I was wondering if anybody has seen this error message and can provide some clues.

Thank you,
