Trying to determine what is the server or the client?

Fails how?

If you're using SSL, then you're using TCP, which transparently _does_ send an ACK with a sequence number in it.  You never have to re-send TCP segments at the application layer, that would result in a stream with duplicate data in it.

Please be more specific about the problem you're having, so we can find an answer :).
