I'm not sure why you would want to do this.

Your example doesn't show this. It has several issues, in fact. Can you give an example where you are actually handling the want write error? I haven't announced this here, but I guess I should have. I have a library that has stackable stream and packet I/O modules, and it has an SSL module. If all you want is a simple SSL connection, it's probably easier to use than the raw openssl library.
