I still don't understand ;) I'm not very smart. In the OP, there is no use of threads. It's a single-threaded multiplexing server... works/fails the same on Windows with threads or Linux without. I guess I'm not effectively describing my problem; that the peer certificate authentication is screwing up. I don't know if the solution is to somehow go back to a more reliable 'blocking' server, or to somehow fix the multiplexing server from the OP. -David.	[reply]

I am also confused as to what is implemented where, what works and where and what doesn't work and where in regard to your two solutions. Until now I had been assuming that both solutions were always losing requests, just that your multithreaded solution lost other requests after doing authentication on one or more and still not listening for a while and that the new single-threaded solution got less far because it lost the authentication request right there. -M Free your mind	[reply]

Ah, Ok. I can clean that up ;) In my existing server (not posted): it is single-threaded the SSL peer cert authentication works the server loses some requests because only accept() is non-blocking. In the code I posted in the OP: it is single-threaded it is almost entirely non-blocking the server DOES NOT lose requests if peer auth is turned OFF if peer auth is ON, the server gives Net::SSLeay errors and destroys the listening socket -David.
