Hello Patrick, Thats exactly my case! GnuTLS 2.8.6 on Ubuntu 10.04. Thanks a lot for the prompt reply. Though I'm not at my machine right now, but I'll surely do what you've said and let you know if I face any other problems. But yes, your observations are exactly correct regarding the client and server code in 2.x and 3.x! I hadn't expected an early reply on Superbowl Sunday! [?] Anyways, thanks a lot.
