4484 :: SslError: ssl3_write_pending:bad write retry

  Hello,

  In an app I am writing I am getting the following error. This is occurring inside code which when encountering an exception will sleep(100) and retry. After 10 retries (1 second) it will close the client and create a newHttpClient.

  Rather than catching this exception the app just stops, goes silent for 10+ minutes and then quits with the below.

  I am not sure how to handle this.

  Any help greatly appreciated.

  
  Current Exception: SslError
  Current Exception Msg: error:1409F07F:SSL routines:ssl3_write_pending:bad write retry

  You need to do some digging. What version of ssl do you have installed? Do you have multiple ones? Is it libressl or openssl. Nim claims to support all versions, but it's not quite true... Openssl team and dev practices make compatibility really hard.

  Oh and are you using some library that might have it's own openssl needs like curl, postgress, MySQL, crypto... ?
