Hello,

I am getting the following in my error.log file:

2011/09/22 14:09:19 [crit] 29589#0: \*27891 SSL\_write() failed (SSL:)  
while sending to client, client: 187.32.96.60, server:  
[innovationgames.com](http://innovationgames.com), request: “GET  
/game\_view/instant\_play/SECVSRHNYL3G5UZGCFSOP2455TURX25Q HTTP/1.1”,  
upstream:

I am running nginx v1.0.4. I noticed another user (dryang) posted a  
similar problem agains v0.7.67, but there was no further information on  
that post.

I also notice the following post in the development forum  
([[PATCH] fix SSL handshake crit messages](http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2010-February/000118.html))  
which indicated a patch but that was over a year and a half ago.

Any help very much appreciated.

Thanks for allowing me to post here.

Are you able to reproduce this? If yes, please provide  
debug log. See [GitHub - nginxinc/nginx-wiki: ARCHIVED -- Source for the now archived NGINX Wiki section of https://www.nginx.com · GitHub](http://wiki.nginx.org/Debugging) for details.

This post just mentions such errors as something  
not-yet-identified, patch is unrelated and tunes logging level for  
other common SSL errors.

Hi Maxim,

I currently only have one instance of the error but expect there will be  
more. To prepare for this, I will build a debug version of nginx and  
set the log level to debug per the directions you have indicated. It  
may be a while before I come back on this thread.

Thanks for your response!

Dan
