openssl vs curl

thirumalesh · 05-06-2011, 08:14 AM

Hi,

I need to build an https client in 'C' language on linux platfrom
and my app is a multithreaded one...in each thread it need to send a seperate https request to the same server..and receive response....

I used openssl library for this, i am able to send request to server. but when i am
trying to read the socket (using SSL_Read) it's closing connection(returning 0 with error code 29).

Anybody has any idea?????

and one more question is can i use libcurl for this???

Thanks in Advance...

Um. libcurl uses openssl for https.

I am failing to see how this is a poll of like things?? Some functionality maybe but definitely not both designed for the same task.

"I used openssl library for this, i am able to send http request to server. but when i am
trying to read the socket (using SSL_Read) it's closing connection(returning 0 with error code 29)."
