+
+The behaviour of SSL_connect() depends on the underlying BIO. 
 
 If the underlying BIO is B<blocking>, SSL_connect() will only return once the
 handshake has been finished or an error occurred.
 
 If the underlying BIO is B<non-blocking>, SSL_connect() will also return
 when the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of SSL_connect()

 return value of SSL_connect() will yield B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ> or
 B<SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE>. The calling process then must repeat the call after
 taking appropriate action to satisfy the needs of SSL_connect().
