For the same reason one doesn't wear a halloween costume to a
technical meeting, Comic Sans is looked down upon when used
outside comics and day-care centers. It is considered a snub to
use it in non-trivial settings.<br>
<br>
Much as lifting up your middle finger has no inherent meaning per
se, but once one realizes that it definitely has meaning to others
and one lifts one's middle finger to others anyway, it can only be
assumed that one has intended to send the message others have
assigned to it. So, for whatever vague societal reasons, comic
sans has become equivalent to wearing a speedo to a formal
wedding, giggling hysterically during one's performance review, or
skipping around the track in a tu-tu and clownface during the 440
meter track event at the Olympics. Those are the breaks! Sorry
for your loss of a connotation free comic sans. I feel your
pain. Herd dynamics can be brutal and bleak.<br>

adequate for certain industry sectors like childcare and
entertainment, its usage in business or professional settings
has been criticized by many aesthetic-conscious Internet users,
who say Comic Sans conveys silliness and irreverence that is
hardly suitable for serious matters....:</span></blockquote>

Committing a fashion faux pas may be gauche, but pointing and
laughing is even more so. If you think that somebody's choice of
fashion is inappropriate, keep it to yourself or an appropriate
gossip forum. Congratulations, you've just convinced this newcomer
that the openssl-users group is populated by fashionistas rather
than serious technical people.<br>

The original poster had a technical question. I don't know enough
to answer it, or I would. Could somebody who *does* know enough
please take a stab?<br>
<br>
Saiteja, one suggestion: when an error occurs, don't just report
that there was a problem. Report what the problem was. Don't these
functions set the results that SSL_get_error( ) returns?<br>
