OS: Windows 2003 SP2
SDK: 2003 R2 SDK
We have a multithreaded application that uses a REST-style interface to an SSL-enabled UNIX box that only uses AES. I tried using WinHTTP, but unfortunately, AES is broken in the 2003 version of WinHTTP (confirmed by M$).
SO, I hook up stunnel, which works fine when I only start one thread, but if I use more than 1 thread, I get the following error in the stunnel.log. Note that the error is on thread 7140, and the connection is immediately closed. I have retry logic that re-starts failed threads, and the restarted thread works the second time. (of course, the first has finished, so it is essentially running by itself.)
The other item of interest is that each thread is sending about 500,000 bytes of data in chunks of 16,000 bytes, and my trace shows that it usually fails after having written more than 100,000 bytes successfully.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated...
