read_nonblock(maxlen, buf=nil)
public
Reads at most maxlen bytes in the non-blocking manner.
When no data can be read without blocking it raises OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError extended by IO::WaitReadable or IO::WaitWritable.
IO::WaitReadable means SSL needs to read internally so read_nonblock should be called again when the underlying IO is readable.
IO::WaitWritable means SSL needs to write internally so read_nonblock should be called again after the underlying IO is writable.
OpenSSL::Buffering#read_nonblock needs two rescue clause as follows:
# emulates blocking read (readpartial). begin result = ssl.read_nonblock(maxlen) rescue IO::WaitReadable IO.select([io]) retry rescue IO::WaitWritable IO.select(nil, [io]) retry end
Note that one reason that read_nonblock writes to the underlying IO is when the peer requests a new TLS/SSL handshake. See openssl the FAQ for more details. http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html
