Greetings all-

I’m an internet developer (mainly ColdFusion, some Windows, database stuff, etc.)  and I’ve just inherited a Windows system that is utilizing Stunnel (I believe it’s version 3.4) and in the log files I’m seeing this error all over the place:

“SSL_read returned WANT_ - retry”

It’s usually listed around other messages in the log file such as “socket closed”, “connection closed”, etc.

I noticed these messages in our logs because I got a call to restart our web services; everything froze up and the site would not come up. I stopped and started the web services and everything came back up. For a long time everyone around here has been blaming our ColdFusion server (version 6.1) but it looks to me like the Stunnel is throwing a wrench and halting everything – does anyone know what these errors mean or could you direct me to a place on the stunnel site that could offer some insight? I tried looking around the FAQ section but didn’t see my error listed.

Any help or input you could provide would be most appreciated!

Many thanks in advance,

Rich
