Re: SSL handshake error/timeout in HTTPAPI: is there a way to catch this and recover?

Something doesn't make sense here...

an SSL handshake timeout error would only occur during http_persist_open().

Are you checking for a non-NULL pointer being returned after the open,
before trying to do the http_persist_req()?

THAT'S IT!

I *do* check for whether I have a non-null wwComm returned from http_persist_open, before I do the http_persist_req or the http_persist_close, but I *don't* take any further action on that before I try to HTTP_xlatep and parse an empty buffer.

Thanks, Mr. Wilt.

Maybe it's time I found another line of work better suited to my complete and utter idiocy.

I don't suppose anybody could suggest the easiest way to force an SSL handshake timeout? Maybe trying to connect to a nonexistent URL?
