SSL crash when pointed at a non SSL echo server

[Ed W]

Hi, hmm, how curious!

I'm away on business and under some time pressures, so I can't retest this quickly here.

However, I think one of the key things with my repro is that all you need is an echo server. Just
get the SSL application to talk to the echo server to trigger this crash.

With that in mind, I wonder if this could be turned into a more general test case? Perhaps also add
a fuzzer to the reflector? Might turn up other curiousities that we should knock in the head? People
get nervous when SSL stuff crashes...

Thanks for the reply
