How to set SET_READTIMEOUT
How to set SET_READTIMEOUT when there is no stream to begin with? I found a problem when attempting to connect to a SSL port (993) but the user never specified the port is SSL so it's trying to connect with a regular connect (like using port 143). The select() never timeout in tcp_getdata() because the timeout is NULL.

Since SET_READTIMEOUT sets a global value, the stream argument is ignored and thus the stream can be NIL.

Didn't the SSL IMAP server presently close the connection? -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.

No, the problem is that the client is the one that start the SSL connection. From looking at Ethereal with a normal SSL connection, you will see the following... ClientServer SYN - - SYN, ACK ACK - SSL Client Hello - - ACK - SSL Server Hello If the user never select SSL checkbox and then connect, the server is waiting for a SSL Client Hello from the client. For a normal session (port 143) the server send a IMAP response (OK response).

And doesn't the server eventually time out when the SSL Client Hello is not forthcoming? -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
