Actually the sockets are not getting any activity. So exactly my process
has not hung but I need a socket activity to take an action.

I am not sure that socket fd is wrong, because if so than select() should
have return an error instead timeout. But if you can suggest me any
mechanism to check that I can share the results.

This scenario is not something with slow network because here the process
has uploaded ~450GB in ~4 hours. Only 2 of my easy handles got such issue.

I can understand this is something tricky :). How/what more can I share
with you?
Did you get anything with logs?
Another observation is this issue is coming only with SSL only.
Can large number of easy interfaces be an issue? (10 processes each running
100 easy interfaces in parallel)
Also I am reusing the connections, can this be a problem?

If you can give me any pointer, I can share the code/logs around that.
Kindly help me here as I am stuck in this issue since long time.
