Process receives additional messages when using HTTPS/SSL #378

Closed interacsion closed 1 year ago

interacsion commented 1 year ago

So I am following the usage example but with https, and my process seems to sometimes receive messages that don't belong to any request. for example, by just opening a connection and sending a single request, my process receives two messages when I only expect one.

@MaiTheLord what are the messages you're receiving? Note that you should not necessarily expect one in general, since responses to request could be split up into multiple TCP packets.

I am getting messages that look like this: {:ssl, {:sslsocket, {:gen_tcp, #Port<0.5>, :tls_connection, :undefined}, [#PID<0.242.0>, #PID<0.241.0>]}, <<some bytes>>}

The README doesn't make it clear that the response to a request can be split into multiple messages though, maybe that should be looked into

@MaiTheLord those are expected SSL messages. In general, you should not care about the content of those messages, and instead forward them to Mint.Conn.stream/2.

In any case, I added this note to the README 👍
