Re: API SSL_Connect fails and always returns SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ causes infinite loop in application

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the response.

We debugged through openssl code to get to know the reason why client is not reading "SSL Alert".

Once the "ClientKeyExchange" is sent openssl trying to send out the "ChangeCipherSpec"  message which is creating the problem. 

The pre-work function for "ChangeCipherSpec" enables SCTP dry event and wait for dry event notification.

In this scenario, dry notification is never sent from SCTP. "dtls_wait_for_dry" always returns "WORK_MORE_A". Hereafter flow never enters "read_state_machine" where alert is to be red.This causes SSL_Connect to be in infinite loop.


Thanks,
Mahesh G S

The client will send its entire flight of messages before it attempts to
read anything from the server. So, in this case, the ClientKeyExchange
message is still sent because the client hasn't read the alert yet.
