Hi,

I work on a client-server application that needs to be supported on both UNIX and windows platforms.

Currently, we keep one socket open for all communication from client to server (during which many read-write operations take place)

For user authentication and security purposes, we are planning to implement SSL-Stunnel.

I have developed a small ssl client (based on sclient.c example) which connects to the Stunnel Server.

Upon the first SSL_write, SSL is closing the underlying socket. Hence the contents written by subsequent SSL_write operations are not visible in the server log.

I saw lot of posts on the same problem. But couldn't find the solution.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Please note that:

1. Due platform independency issues, I use RWSocket (a Roguewave library class) instead of the BSD socket in conjunction with SSL.
