Your platform may also have a particular way of timing out TCP connections such as through a 'setsockopt'. This is an ugly method and, IMO, is only appropriate in a program that needs to terminate if the connection is lost.

Re: Set Time out for SSL read
Hi Thank you so much for your reply Can you please let me know how can I set time out as a whole. I think you are mentioning about SSL_CTX_Set_timeout function. If it is so then I have set the time out using this function, and sadly I didn't get the expected result.

Hi All Is there any method to set time our for SSL _read function. As from the Open SSL document SSL_read will not return if there is no data to read from the socket Thanks, Raj Rajmohan SK
