[Net-ssleay-devel] client read failure via inetd

[Charles DeRykus]

Hello,

I've done extensive searchs but can't find any more 
debugging hints/suggestions for a Net::SSLeay simple 
echo server running from inetd.

The server log indicates that it receives the client msg,
writes the msg back, and then does a successful shutdown.
However, the client dies silently reading the reply:

  [ client code ] 

  #!/usr/perl-5.8.7/bin/perl 
  use Socket;                             # 1.77        
  use Net::SSLeay qw/die_if_ssl_error/    # 1.30;    
                                          # Solaris 5.8/OpenSSL 0.9.6g 
  ...
  my $msg = 'This is a test message from the client';
  Net::SSLeay::write( $ssl, $msg ); 
  die_if_ssl_error("ssl write");

  CORE::shutdown( SOCKET, 1 ); #-- half close: "I've stopped writing"

  if ($DEBUG) { print LOG  "shutdown complete...\n"; }

  my $got = Net::SSLeay::read( $ssl );   #
  die_if_ssl_error("ssl cliet read error");

  if ($DEBUG) { print LOG  "client read complete: $got\n"; )
  ...


"shutdown complete" is the final msg in the client log.

Any ideas/suggestions appreciated.

Rgds,
