Description:
------------
Socket streams created with fsockopen using ssl scheme fail with the event_buffer_new($socket, readcb, writecb, errorcg, arg) function; i.e. fsockopen("ssl://my_server", ...). The readcb callback is called and buffer returns encrypted data. The readcb works properly with the tcp scheme; i.e. fsockopen("tcp://my_server", ...). The event_buffer_read/event_buffer_write functionality is unusable with ssl sockets.

As a workaround, use the event_new()/event_set() functions with ssl socket streams.

Tested with php 5.3.8 (Windows XP) and php 5.3.10 (Windows Server 2003) and libevent 2.0.12 and php_libevent 0.0.4.

Also tested with php 5.3.8 (Windows XP) and php 5.3.10 (Windows Server 2003) and libevent 2.0.17 (latest) and pecl php_libevent trunk revision 318910 (2012-03-02).

Test script:
---------------
Pseudo Code

$socket = fsockopen("ssl://myserver", 61613, $errno, $errstr);
stream_set_blocking($socket, 0));
$event_buffer = event_buffer_new($socket, 'ev_read', 'ev_write', 'ev_error');			
event_buffer_base_set($event_buffer, self::$event_base);
event_buffer_enable($event_buffer, EV_READ | EV_PERSIST | EV_WRITE);

function ev_read($buffer, $arg) {

  // $in will have encrypted data when using ssl://. 
  // Data should be unencrypted
  // It seems that the event_buffer_read is not allowing the normal php sockets to unencrypt the data first.

   $in = event_buffer_read($buffer, 8192);
}

Expected result:
----------------
The above pseudo code used with ssl:// stream sockets should work as the tcp:// stream sockets with event_buffer_new()/event_buffer_base_set()/event_buffer_enable() functions.

The ssl:// & tcp:// stream sockets both work with the event_new()/event_set()/event_add() functions. When the EV_READ callback is executed the data is read from php as unencrypted.

I can confirm this problem.
 [2012-06-20 13:52 UTC] tony2001@php.net 
Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

I'm gonna close this as the libevent package on PECL had no had a release for 4 years, and there haven't really been much acitivity since. If development picks back up then this report should be re-opened
