Hi Julian,
Draft which may save you some time:
First patch against trunk:
[[[
* site/staging/faq.html:
Add entry for "An error occurred during SSL communication" error.
]]]
Second patch against trunk:
[[[
* site/staging/docs/release-notes/1.10.html:
Add entry for an OpenSSL upgrade causing "An error occurred during
SSL communication" error.
]]]
Thanks for the patch, Folker.
Could we link to the OpenSSL upstream documentation --- their list of
incompatible changes, or upgrade guide, or something along these lines?
In our case, I'm not aware of any such documentation which would have
helped us.
I agree that there's room for some Subversion-specific documentation
here, but I think it should focus on Subversion-specific parts (such as
the ssl-authority-files knob, or failure modes that for whatever reason
are more common with Subversion than with other SSL-using software)
and refer to OpenSSL's docs for the lion's share of the content.
For us the key issue was:
What can I do if Subversion fails with "An error occurred during SSL
communication"?
The corresponding patches based on Philip's answer address this question.
We lost a lot of time by wrongly suspecting problems between serf,
mod_dav_svn and mod_ssl, for example
https://code.google.com/archive/p/serf/issues/135.
Cheers,
Folker
