error SSL Read Error

Abort<NewsServer> (XX/XXX)......
Error SSL read error


Any ideas on settings that are causing this??

My NewsServer is NewsDemon. I have SSL access, not sure which version though, I set it in propeties to SSLV3+.

It means the incoming data is corrupted, might be caused by e.g. buggy antivirus scanning incoming traffic.

Check without SSL if the download needs repair it would be another symptom.

With SSL any data inconsistency will trigger an error immediately, since the protocol checks for the data integrity even if it were not the encrypted data would become non-decryptable from that point. Without SSL there is no integrity check, so the corrupted data will get through (and the cause should be close since the TCP protocol has checksums), so you'll see unpack repair later.

Ok,

Kb/s dropped to zero, then got this message repeatedly:

Mishap <NewsDemon>
Error No connection could be made because server actively....

created a new non-SSL server connection on unencrypted Port, got bandwidth back, still getting message though.

No antivirus running, no firewalls. This is an old machine and it is used for this purpose exclusively.

Ok, both error messages have disappeared now, so SSL was the problem. Fix?? Or do I just live with out SSL?

The mishap without SSL may well be SSL read error under SSL, it is SSL which does the networking (sockets), so if some error there I think it is what UE will report.

I'm using openssl for SSL implementation, I only modified it a bit to be able to track the speed and few other things. I'll be looking into the SSL code shortly for another reason, maybe I'll also try to get the exact error code.

So the answer is clear then.

It appears they have some problem there with connectivity if otherwise your connection works ok.
