NNOOTTEESS During its use, an SSL objects passes several states. The state is internally maintained. Querying the state information is not very informative before or when a connection has been established. It how- ever can be of significant interest during the handshake. When using non-blocking sockets, the function call performing the hand- shake may return with SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ or SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE con- dition, so that SSL_state_string[_long]() may be called. For both blocking or non-blocking sockets, the details state informa- tion can be used within the info_callback function set with the _S_S_L___s_e_t___i_n_f_o___c_a_l_l_b_a_c_k_(_) call.
