Thank you very much for your message.
But one more question, what is the right way to get a SSL_METHOD*? I
tried to do
SSL_MOTHOD* ssl_method = SSLv3_client_method();
ctx = SSL_CTX_new(ssl_method);
However, the code is compiled without any problem. But on the run time,
on NT4, it pop up some memory error message. On SUN2.6, it simply stops,
becaue the ctx is NULL (ssl_method is not NULL). What did I do wrong?
Please give me more hints! Thank you so much!
By the way, it is very hard to understand other's code without good
documents. SSLeay is version 9 now, but its documents are still version
4. It is just like a person has strong legs but not arms. At least I am
willing to pay for it if better and ensured documents are available.
Anyway, thank you so much for your help!
