hi,
a colleague in the US just tried to clone a cgi-served repo via https
(residing in germany) like
fossil clone https:usrname@server/repos/somerepo
and received (contrary to myself) warning messages regarding
"SSL verification failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain"
etc.
as our IT admin explains this probably is caused by the fact that the root
certificate is a german one (from deutsche telekom) and that this is not
known at the site of the colleague in the US.
the problem is this: the colleague is then prompted whether to accept the
certificate anyway
"Accept certificate for host {ourserver} (a=always/y/N)"
which he answered with "y" which leads to
"server did not reply"
when he answered the same question with "a", the clone succeeded.
question: my understanding is these warnings and the prompting for how to
proceed is done by fossil, right? if so, am I do understand that this is a
fossil problem? should I expect
the "server did not reply" message after answering "y" or is this a bug
(of SSL, of fossil, or whatever)? I'm quite at a loss here.
