Dear boost-users
I changed the http server3 example (many thready run io_service::run())
to use SSL connections. I now face the problem that the async_accept
handler is only called when no other connections are alive and not
immediately by another thread as with the original non-ssl example.
My modified request_handler simply sleeps for 10 seconds. Now when a
request arrives while another one is being processed (sleeping), it is
only handled after the other one finished. By setting a breakpoint in
server::handle_accept() I can see that this handler for the second
request is only called after the first connection has been
destroyed/closed. This happens on Windows XP.
Do you may have an idea why the accept handler is not called immediately
or where the blocking could happen? I may help if you could test this on
another platform then XP.
To test this, apply the attached patch to the directory
boost_1_38_0/libs/asio/example/http/server3 and copy the *.pem files
from the asio ssl example to the working directory of the server3 example.
Regards
James
PS: I already posted this question to the asio-users list without
gettinga reply. I'm trying my luck now here on the boost list.
