Hi folks,

I'm working on my IRC bot and it all works nice. It's written in C and I've read some OpenSSL tutorials and understood how to use it and tested it a few times with some simple codes.

But my problem is, I use select() in my bot, so I can multiple connections, but the problem is how am I gonna use OpenSSL sockets (BIO sockets) and the normal sockets , both with select()?

Or do I need to use something else?

Can anyone help me, so I can use normal sockets and SSL tunnels (cause the bot should have the possibility of joining more then one irc network)

SSL doesn't use polling to get information. Instead, you register a callback, and when data arrives, the callback function is called.

See: SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(3)

Hi,
Me too have some problems with SSL. In my SSL server I cannot create the SSL CTX objects. The SSL_CTX_new(SSLv23_client_method()) function always returns NULL. Can any body help me? I am using the fedora core 3 Linux. The SSL library of Redhat 9 is not working.

Tnx for the info man, I will use it when I'm back from Spain
Going tomorrow on vacation.

But thanks anyway
