Possible problems(bugs??) in selfserv-tstclnt pair...

Hi All,

I used the selfserv-tstclnt pair as a model to build an SSL client-
server pair written in C: Initially I had been supplying the command
argument -o which caused any problems in the authentication procedure
to be overriden(by enabling the use of a bad certificate handler
callback).

I had generated the certificates with the right attributes but the
ownBadCertHandler callback in tstclnt is returning
PR_IN_PROGRESS_ERROR (-5934L): "Operation is still in progress
(probably a non-blocking connect)". This obviously is not an issue
with the server certificate but rather, has something to do with the
socket configuration... I guess this is because the tstclnt has been
configured as a non-blocking socket and calling PR_Connect is likely
to return this....

Could somebody help me out with it since my SSL client-server is also
returning the same error...

I'm appending the output of tstclnt and selfserv below. selfserv and
tstclnt code can be located at the URLs below.
