 SSL_write() writes B<num> bytes from the buffer B<buf> into the specified

 If the underlying BIO is B<non-blocking>, SSL_write() will also return,
 when the underlying BIO could not satisfy the needs of SSL_write()
 to continue the operation. In this case a call to SSL_get_error() with the

 call to SSL_write() can also cause write operations! The calling process
 then must repeat the call after taking appropriate action to satisfy the
