Hi, The client is configured with SSLv3_client_method.
*ctx = SSL_CTX_new(SSLv3_client_method());* Whenever the client tries to connect to server with any CBC ciphers like DES-CBC3-SHA, the SSL handshake is successful but when the client tries to send data to server,say 10 bytes, I see from ethereal that two application records are sent. But the server does not report reading that data. With cipher RC4-MD5, this is not seen. 10 bytes are sent in one application record and server reports the receiving of that particular data. Now when I set the *SSL_CTX_set_options* with*SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS *(or SSL_OP_ALL), data exchange with CBC ciphers are successful. What is happening here? Can someone please explain the theory behind *SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS *option? Thanks, Prabhu. S
