can't send large messages over SSL socket

[donk71 at gmail.com]

Well the first thing to note is that the maximum record length in SSL
is exactly 16384.  SSL/TLS does not preserve message boundaries - it is
up to the application to determine if there are multiple messages in a
single record, or a single message spanning multiple records.  Sounds
like the particular wrapper function is not properly chunking the
message up into multiple records (or just does not support large
messages).
