connection timed out while connecting on localhost

I have two applications running on a same host- ssl_proxy and a http
server. Once ssl_proxy recieves a message from a http client it
connects to the http server locally. It then send the http request from

client to the server and server's response back to the client. But in
this setup I am facing a problem. SSL_proxy gets connection timed out
error while connecting to the http server. It is connecting to the
server via the loopback interface. I am using INET sockets. Can anyone
tell me what might be the issue. This issue arises only if I have 2
interfaces configured. With a single interface configured this issue
doesnt arise.
