[openssl-users] OpenSSL non-blocking epoll hanging on data receiving

[counterpoint]

Thanks for the comments, Matt.

I looked at SSL_has_pending, but can't easily use it as the software needs
to build on standard distributions, as far as possible, and it isn't in e.g.
CentOS 6.5

It's getting a lot further than that. The SSL_accept returns success, and a
whole series of SSL_read and SSL_write calls look to be operating fine. It
appears that most of the 500KB of data used in the test is transferred, but
(probably near the end) the process hangs. Presumably SSL_pending is
returning 0 and there are no further EPOLLIN events.  Or something like
that.

I expected that turning off read ahead would fix both server and client, but
it seems not. I've read all the configuration options I can find, but so far
haven't found a solution to the server side application.
