hi ingela,

no i do not have this patch but i've decided to go for the httpd
option in ssl. however, there's still a question i need to solve.

1.
in https mode [ssl:transport_accept/1 + ssl:ssl_accept/1], if i
receive a http request, i get a {error, closed} message, i.e. a socket
is not created, thus the browser timeouts waiting for a response.

2.
in http mode [gen_tcp:accept/1], if i receive a https request then i get a
{http, Sock, {http_error, [22,3,1,0,157,1,0,0, ......]}} message, i.e.
the socket is created but the data is not understood.

i would like to respond with a 403 error in case 1 and a 404 error in case 2.

what is the best way to handle this?

thank you,

r.
